and also the title says its a Park, not a forest :)

Joining this one too... Gwarrrr!

I think Guts just meant that the artist should enter this challenge cuz his trees are so cool.

that's exactly what I suggest :)

I feel the skill level of this challenge will be higher than the last one. Very exciting 

I made that yesterday without knowing what the challenge even was :P

not going to bother trimming the color count etc down, though. I want to make something radically different...

Update:



Think that is better.

looks promising

I'll be joining in too. This is my WIP.

Got any comments? Ideas for a background?

comments for all \o/

@ kaki, NOT!!!
@ chess, beautiful, do more to it :D
@adam, can't wait to see where that leads
@fishmeester, looks like you have something going at least layout wise. Steer clear of the style use on that flower <--- looks cheap.
@setz, I like where you're going
@Vidd, O.O
@drZool, you have become a big part of my week.


@guts, man that kept going over my head. You didn't even make that, jeez, I can be such a tard.

Ive just started. Used 5 colours right now.

where have you and your awesomeness been?

Haha thanks, Jalonso. that's a somewhat fun comment to get! very encouraging. :D

@DrZool: Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it :).  And you are right about the reflection of the bushes. I'll see what I can do.. but until then:



an update. :)

i had an exchange student in my house this week, and i'm tired now. It's a beatiful idea for a challenge, but well... probly i won't join you guys... too tired, no inspiration, lazy... 

Aaand.. it's done! Fixed a few anatomical issues on the statues and added some extra detail on the trees and bushes. Will submit this tomorrow just in case I find something else that needs polishing. :)

Progress:

it could use some AAing. there allready is some, but not enough imho

Johannest: not bad for so few colors.. but why do you limit yourself to 5 colors?

Exitium, very nice! but I think you lost the atmosphere from your previous post.. on the latest, there is too much contrast on the sculptures of the BG imo.. they look very close.. and I kinda liked the way they were not completely defined on their bottom (like ground fog..) pretty good tho

here is mine.. nearly there..

actually i think those dithers look really cool in some odd way. maybe a bit less chaotic though..

I really like it. The sky dithering looks cool to me. Its the shape of the cloud that bugs me...get it...bugs me 

Hm, I don't think I'm going to get mine finished in time. :(
Here's how far it got:

It's 9 hours until it ends and I'm very tired already.
Oh well, it was still fun. :)
