are we allowed to have two animals combined to make a letter? Like two monkeys holding hands to make an O.

here's my wip:
![]() what a disgusting giraffe! I haven't put in the spots on the face though. (the pink strip is his tongue and it's supposed to be a P) Refrence: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.giraffes.org/giraffe-01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.giraffes.org/giraffe-01.html&h=768&w=1024&sz=185&tbnid=VVzniR0SQ8jtDM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgiraffe&zoom=1&q=giraffe&usg=__AjFu1Eu9rRJqyBdXZSRoMV3YXts=&sa=X&ei=hQdjTc-XH4KC8gb5ovmsDA&ved=0CDgQ9QEwBA holy crap that's long.

I think the challenge should be reworded so that the animal's name starts with that letter. Dragons make a D, Monkeys make an M, Snakes make an S, etc, etc...
I think that'll give the challenge some much needed zing! ![]() |

I think it basicly kills 99% of the possibilities. The idea is to have creatures in different and strange poses, possibly a font for a fantasy novel, so it doesn't have to have the "teaching notion" of a children's book. What do you guys say?
@Jim16; is it a T? |

Snake for S would probably be the easiest thing to do, so I'll see what I can come up with.

@Stopa, that's real creative, and I don't think the rules will be changed after Wednesday.
@tanuki, that was funny :) @Jim16, than it's cool! Edited by Gecimen - 23 February 2011 at 6:21am |

So i've done a bit more on my Gammerhead Shark...
![]() Still going on it but i'd love some feedback or critiques please...! I'm thinking the dorsal fin (make that all the fins) needs more of a defined outline, as it's blending in to the underbelly of the second half of the shark. Edited by stopa - 24 February 2011 at 7:36pm |

Nope the fins are read quite well. With a transparent BG the lighter colored fins will be ok as well.

for the underbelly you can also make a semi-transparency with photoshop (reduce the opacity), but i don't know if it's allowed as a pixel-art x)

Semi transparency is not allowed in PJ. Only dithered transparency is. Yet I disagree that this piece needs any kind of transparency other than the background.

Are you super sure that semi/partial transparency isn't allowed? Because I saw it just recently here- link
I noted it in my comment on that but I wasn't completely sure if it was allowed or not, and no one else mentioned it there. |

I've been using MSpaint at the moment so I can't see what it'll look like with transparency, going to have to figure that one out before submission i guess! Thanks for the help guys :) |

I'm not sure if I have the correct lighting. I'm not the greatest at value... I think I'm going to make an S for sea serpent.

I'm trying to rush it a bit at the last minute and it's turning out bad. x_x
I think I'll just do the giraffe at my own pace and submit it late (not in the contest) in a few days~ |
