This is my favorite entry. I love how you turned the cross shaped canvas into a good thing, rather than fight it
Actual pixelling is very, very good even on the 3 birds
Don't let jal see those birds
Good pixeling. The tree and mountain look quite basic, compared to the ground detail. The cloud bottom looks hollow.
Dithering is a tiny bit unrefined in some areas (the 2 largest grey/red patches for instance: they look like flat abrupt planes, not a texture).
Nice colors, and really digging the AA here! : )
