A forum I go to is holding a pixel art contest with the theme 'Emotions'. I swear to god, almost no one there understands that pixel art isn't just a small drawing in Paint. This is how I rebel. 15 colors, EGA palette.

Alas, I empathise with your frustration man :( If you want to emphasize the n00bishness of the goomba perhaps he could have some speech (written in l33t or soemthing) or maybe a red ring around it with a diagonal line (like those No Smoking signs) but with the goomba above the cross so that you can still see it. I dunno.
Anyway, I like the lighting and the dark blue ambient lighting from the moon. Great piece.
The poorly-drawn goomba is deliberate. He's what Mario is getting all frustrated about in the picture. The goomba symbolizes people who don't know what pixel art is.
Want to give some dough back to all those amazing pixel artists? Donations provide prize money for contests, help cover hosting costs and support new initiatives.
don't previews have to be pixel art too?
