CHALLENGE: April Fools 2026

This time we decided to give you two weeks for the challenge. We will simply not close it next week, but leave it open for another one. However, if the challenge will not be widely inspirtaional to many pixel artists, we will be asking on discord if anyone is still working on their entry and need another week, and if no one confirms we will close the challenge normally to get back to normal challenge schedule without any delay. If you are not on discord, but sill wish to comunicate to us that you need the second week, write it here, under this challenge.

Rules for anyone who is new to this PJ tradition:

1) Choose an artist you like, you admire, you stalk or you just want to mess with.
2) Create an artwork imitating their style, techniques, colour choices, and/or themes.
3) Pretend they are the author of that piece.

Canvas Size - Imitate the choices of your prank victim.
Colors - Imitate the choices of your prank victim.
Transparency - Imitate the choices of your prank victim.
Animation - Imitate the choices of your prank victim.
