Hey PJers. I haven't been pixeling for years.
Actually I never really got into it to begin with.

Anyway, I've decided to sacrifice all of this month's free time to the pixels again. That's right! No less than 4 hours of pixeling and 2 hours of analyzing pixel art and/or reading tutorials per day.

This week's challenge sounded fun so I thought I'd give it a try.

WIP:


Any advice is much appreciated. I feel pretty n00bish still.

miau is pixellin' 

There is no black on the palette, k.
I think maybe composition wise it may be better if the observatory is facing right and is slightly recessed into the background so that you have depth.

Hey jal and woops!
The other color looked close enough to black so I didn't notice I used real black instead. Thanks for pointing that out, fixed it.

Yeah, composition isn't the greatest I guess. Although it was intended they're facing in the same direction
Should be no problem to move it around a bit, though or just do it from scratch. I don't quite like it. :)

It's possible! :D


But yeah, thanks for your comment. Lightsources have always been a problem for me. I'll work on that.

Seems like there won't be as as much free time this month as I had hoped. Still trying to get the moai done and enter the challenge.
I decided to concentrate just on the moai for now.



Started to add some texture and realized again just how much work it is to get something submit-worthy :)


EDIT:
Alright, this will have to do as I'll be gone for a few days and wouldn't be able to submit it in time otherwise.
