	I recommend that before you get too carried away with pixelling you should rethink your idea a bit. Right now you've chosen the most obvious idea possible. Sit down for 15 mins, get a piece of paper and write down as many other ideas you can possibly think of. Often your first idea isn't the best, try and come up with a few more interesting ideas.

	*Originally posted by JC Denton* What are neutralizers ? That's what I was wondering, as well as clarification on the grays. Does the no grays rule mean that we can't use colors with 0 saturation? And as for neutralizers...I'm way lost. Haha.

	i don't really know what it means, but it popped in my head and it sayed there. It(might have) to do that my cousin died a couple of weeks ago, and that heart is him, flying away. or flying arround in a happier place.

	This is mine so far.. The emotion that came into my head was Acceptance.. No idea why, i was doodling in Environmental Studies, and i drew a picture of a stickman poiting to the hills.. so i scanned it, and thought i could add it to this comp.. I'll add some background, and change his head :P

	I thought of a theartical mask with a red ribbon, the mask symbolizes confused emotions and the ribbon symbolizes wrapped up in love....here's my progress.

	leath, not to accuse you of anything, but it looks like that background was made in photoshop + your work already has 17 colors.

	*Originally posted by minipuck* leath, not to accuse you of anything, but it looks like that background was made in photoshop + your work already has 17 colors. Accuse? Is it ilegal? Nonetheless, you are absolutely, right. It was made in photoshop, but not only the background, the whole thing. I didnt know it was ilegal. T_T But we can turn that from accusing to "pointing it out". :D Thanks for letting me know. Ah, about the colors I counted 15 initally, and specified 16 on photoshop on the conversion, in case it blurred anything =( 5 Beiges for the penicl's body 3 Burple for the BG 3 Pinks for the rubber 2 Blues for the paper 2 (black and white) If its ilegal, I withdraw my entry with an apology. Though, I would like to learn why... Edited by Leath - 13 October 2008 at 11:20pm
