OHAI DEADLINE YOU SNUCK UP ON ME. Was going to put in more detail, but alas, no DX

EDIT: So it occurred to me after I rushed to post that I actually had until the end of Saturday...So that being said, I touched it up. That also being said I do see the "you can't make edits on this day" bit. Theoretically if I had noticed the extension I would have held this back to post the more finished version first. But since that's not the case, I'll leave it up to you to decide which you're going to count for the event C:

Guys, I just want to let you know that I will totally allow you to edit your entries on Saturday. Since the whole C+C thing is kinda a new and very late introduction and I literally JUST got everyone who wanted crits, it wouldn't be very fair of me to just not let you guys make the appropriate changes if you need to. I'll add this detail to the original post!
@PTGigi: sorry, it was a last-minute notice on my part, so don't worry about it. :> I'm going to make sure to be much more clear the next two weeks. Hahah, I've been doing what I can; sorry guys if any inconveniences, miscommunications, etc. take place. I always do appreciate feedback, though!

By the way guys I am totally loving the entries so far. Actually this has inspired me to do some Dream World pixel-overs myself!!

Grace, that's awesome. Like, I actually made an out-loud sort of 'woah' sound when it scrolled into view. I don't do that a lot.

Lol! Thank you, Sam. <3 That means a lot. There are quite a few awesome pixel over entries. >:3


P.S. I don't want people to think I'm a snob by not liking their entries, because the thing is, I'd end up liking them all, which seems a little pointless. xD OF COURSE I LIKE THEM ALL.

Yeah.....I love how the blue part of the head turned out but I keep failing with the body. I am afraid I don't have time to try to fix it either. Well, one entry is better then none, I guess. For people wondering, the flames are the only source of light here.

Edit: I think I just messed up more. Too tired to try again now. Well, I tried.

I haven't done any spriting in a very long time. the last time maybe being briefly some time at the start of last year or something, so it might not be up to scratch (get it? haha) but I want to enter so I can get back to the stage I was at before. :)

First Try

Turned out nothing like I see in my head but you think I can do what I see in my head...pfft...no. xD

[SassySnivy]

And ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED!! Thank you to everyone who participated this week...the results will be posted tomorrow! :D

[Suicune's Fire]

Yaaaaaaay! I'm really keen to find out the results! *v* Speed, this contest has actually gotten me back into wanting to do more pixel art. xD I mean, I say that now but I know I probably won't after WAR, but...I WANT TO!

Judging is commencing now! Sorry for the wait everyone; in the meantime, here's this week's theme

Week THREE!

This week we're going to do something that we did last year: a silhouette challenge! But what is a silhouette challenge, you ask?

First, take ANY old Pokemon sprite you can find. It can be from ANY generation.

Color the entire thing in black (or you can reduce it all to one outline, but I find it easier to work from a silhouette).

FLIP THE IMAGE. This is probably the MOST IMPORTANT STEP OF ALL, and you MUST DO IT. Make sure that you only rotate it by 90-degree increments; 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees; in other words; don't rotate it so that it skews/distorts the pixels. It needs to be even. But why? Simple: when we see Hariyama's silhouette just as is, we still see Hariyama. However...flip it 90, 180, or 270 degrees and the right side of your brain will take over! That isn't Hariyama anymore...what is that thing?
Well, it can be absolutely ANYTHING. Only your imagination--and the pixel limit--is the limit.

Wait. Pixel limit? YES. You cannot add or take away even a single pixel from the outside borders of the silhouette. ANYTHING INSIDE OF THE SPRITE IS FAIR GAME. But you cannot change anything on the outside of it! You need to exercise your creativity and figure out how you need to do it.

This week, you will be scored out of 35 points possible (as before): 10 for Quality, 10 for Creativity, 10 for First Impression, and 5 for Relativity. So gogogogogo
