Hey there!
Believe it or not i painted the shadow on the ground without using a separate layer or any multiplier. That is one layer. Unfortunately i did not record the process of this piece so you'll just have to take my word for it. ^^'
I must admit tho the grid you see on the ground is added on top. I do have a version of this image without the grid. Can i post that version instead?
Oh.. this look amazing.
but unfortunately PJ does not collect artworks with transparency (the shadowed part).
Would you be able to get to the file with a vanilla pixel art only? You are allowed to add the link to an enchanted pixel art in your description (if you store it somewhere else, for example Lospec or other online galleries with less specialization). This way we would be happy to have your wonderful Artwork here, and you would still present your artwork in your desired full glory to PJ users.
Actually, I do belive you, We did discussed whether to accept this or not, it was clean enough for a game Mock, and the color do look like not made by transparency. But as a mod, I do have some responsibility, coz I can't proof it was not made using transparency... LOL, to siad it short, I just slap on standard reply and see what your reply. And yes thank you for your re-upload. And I will make sure to approve this on next check.
