A+ lighting <3

The face is some seriously brilliant cluster work 

Thanks Mathias - that means a lot coming from you! 

I agree the tree shadows should play better with the way the grass tiles handle shadow. If I were to rework this I'd probably remove the lone tree shadow approach and instead go for more of a true shadow tile since the trees are used as a wall tile and are always close together.

These colors are lovely :)

Congrats on hall of fame for this one!!

Super impressive! A lot going on here that I haven't seen executed at this caliber before ❤️

This is still one of my favorite game mockups ever ❤️

The dimension in the waterfall is pure magic o.o

YES

I've been loving a lot of the challenge ideas! There does seem to be a sweet spot between balancing the max resolution, color limitations, and then the subject. If the max resolution is larger, generally less restrictions are going to draw in more artists. Larger resolutions invite people to go all out in their efforts, but if we restrict them with something like a specific color palette I think it works against it. 

Specific color palettes as a restriction makes a ton of sense if the commitment level to the challenge is smaller (small canvas size, but maybe hyper specific subject). I also think they are more beginner friendly and accessible. I've always felt allowing a range of commitment levels in general that varies with each challenge can really draw in more people. And that's defnitely something that I can tell everyone's been really conscious of especially recently (IE the snowflake challenge is a great example)

Regardless it does feel like people who want to really go all out on a high commitement weekly would benefit most from less limits and maybe more specific subject. I do feel (and maybe this is not actually the case) that in the really hot era here there were a lot of challenges with similar canvas size to this one or larger, but with 32 max colors. I can only speak for myself of course, but that recipe is usually what I'm waiting for to do another weekly. 

A lot of palette restrictions these days 👀
