You're right, that is quite sharp and jarring. Thank you for pointing it out!

The base colours, or the shadows? I did have to go off of someone else's palette for the base colours, but if you meant contrast in the shadows, then I'll absolutely keep that in mind next time, thank you. (:

Oh snap.

What have I been doing, wasting my time learning how to manual AA? Wasting my time as an artist?!

Pixeljoint, you have shown me the light. I think I shall quit as an artist and become an opera singer. ...tomorrow.

Ugh. Man, it's the really clever and punny images that I like the best. I'm all full of jealousy that I wasn't so quick witted. XD

I love this concept, and the almost ...dirty? feel you gave it. (And the perspective. Perspective is always nice.)

May have been the toughest, but it looks like it paid off. I love this design. I'm not entirely sure, but it maaaay be my favourite. It's hard to make a choice which one I like best, though. XD'

Mush! *_*

The preset palette did look very tricky to work with, for the beast riders especially, but I think you did a great job of creating depth and definition. I was actually looking at this earlier, before the voting began, admiring how clear everything feels, how it doesn't really FEEL like it's just seven colours blending all together.

Your super beast rider is super. 8D

i like the muscle definition in the beast, although it strikes me as a little odd around the head area. The rider and it's body are both in a 3/4th view, until you get to the front of the shoulder, then it turns into a profile view right there alone.

Otherwise - I like the depth created between the close legs, far legs, and then to the mountains. The clouds also create an interesting frame effect.

Haha. I actually said almost exactly that line before realizing you'd put it in.

Very amusing. I'm also terrified. I bet I could take the knight, but the pony doesn't look like a pushover. :x

Wrassle that beast! *_*

I really like her hair, actually, and the expression on both of their faces. Very animated.

I believe I commented on the contest details thread, when you posted a WIP, but I'm still in love with the luminescence of the beast. He looks very neon.

...and his rider looks a little unnerved by that. XD

I see the rider, I see the rider! 8D

I love how the toad is.. well, first of all, your beast is a toad. That's just fantastic right there. But I love how he's like, "yeah. right." Very droll expression on his face.

I love the dynamic pose of the beast, and the sense of motion and fluidity that comes from it and travels all the way to the tip of the flag. Very nice.

I thought it was a bull. XD But then.. I'm from cow-country Texas. -tips hat-

I thought the beast rider palette was one of the more limited ones. I'm just /floored/ by some of these entries, especially. The lighting is FANTASTIC, and I'm sitting here staring, trying to absorb knowledge. The lighter beast against the dark background with opposing direction gradients (does that make sense?).. uuurgh. The details and implied texture also make me gleefit. And the bow. Everyone needs a bow.

-weep- How can I possibly pick only three? -agony-

So many talented entries. D:
Oddly.. I like almost all of the beast rider entries. I wasn't expecting that, as purple tends to make me want to ralph. XD'

This surprised a laugh of out me.

I love the idea, and the addition of extra little details, like the hoofprints.

i very much love the dynamic angle. the shading on the beard is also fantastic, since that dark bronze was just /painful/ for me, personally.

Very nicely done.

Oh, the texture on the snail's body is lovely.  The leaf, ground, the snail's shell.. beautiful.(:

The only thing that I can see to critique on is one of the stems in the background. I get that you didn't detail it as much to let it fade into the background, which works on the green stems in the rest of the background, but the brown sticks out especially as it's the only block of that colour.

Lots of helpful comments there.
I thought a microphone as well.

As much as I dislike ...well... Amy Winehouse, your pixel is quite nice. Your rendition of her makes her look elegant and lovely. I didn't know that was possible. I particularly like her hair and eyes, here.

I was having a lot of difficulty seeing 138 colours in this, so I went in and took out each colour to see.

About 40 of those colours were 1 pixel on the image only. Even more had 10 or less pixels using them. You might try limiting you palette a bit more. You can do a lot with a little less.

This is a very nice scene, and I look forward to seeing some more pixel art from you as you go along.

...holy cow. .../holy COW./

i am beyond amazed at every single tiny detail you added in. The water looks phenominal, all the little people running aorund their job fill me with complete glee.The rocks underwater and around the eye ridge are breathtaking. the lovely little hits of cobblestone, the stairways, the tightrope walker.. I can continue to stare at this for an hour or more, and find something new to delight in every moment.
