Yeah, I thought that might be the case but I really wanted to clear up the meaning just in case the 8 color part confused anybody! I don't want anyone to think they have to do that! It sounds very limiting (and it is, but also very cool)

Also it's super cool what you were able to do with 4 colors! It's hard using that few!

Of course, thanks for clarifying with the nitty gritty!

Thank you so much!! I highly recommend to anyone to try using a limited palette once they've got the hang of the essentials (anti-aliasing, shading, clusters etc)! Its like doing a digital puzzle that you design yourself

me rn omg

I REALLY hope we can have all of these!!! The entries are perfect and I just know there's going to be so many more amazing submissions! :'D

Now that I'm not spending every free minute on my submission(s):

@(you need an account to see links): Your ability to make that scene with 4 COLORS (??!!!) astounds me! The bubbles look so good! I am also a big fan of underwater things and you definitely captured this very well!

@(you need an account to see links): This was your FIRST time doing pixel art? Your entry is so good! Why are you so talented at every artsy thing! I like the creativity in the unlocking mechanism too!

@(you need an account to see links): I'm a SUCKER for anything nighttime / starry. I love the colors and the curves are very smooth! Nicely done! I can see the influence from the reference but you still made your own artistic choices!

@(you need an account to see links): I CACKLED when I saw this one! I especially want to compliment the way you did the flames, very nice! This one is definitely appropriate for 2020 and it really makes me wonder how we'd unlock it... 4 poops on the ground, anyone?

@(you need an account to see links): LOVE this one! The colors, the swampiness, the hanging plants and lights! Very nicely done!

@(you need an account to see links): RAINBOWS! I like the simplicity of this one and I love a good rainbow. I also think the unlocking mechanism is nice! Rewarding people for taking care of other people's ryu's is definitely a good thing! Please don't feel intimidated, you did great!

@(you need an account to see links): HOLY GUACAMOLE! I knew exactly what it was when I saw it, and I think that's the most important when you're referencing a painting! also it amuses me that someone else had the same idea, namely a famous painting Very cool and well done fitting it in the canvas that must've been a challenge!

@(you need an account to see links): Ooh very nice! I love the simplicity of it and how smooth the pattern looks! Bee-lieve me, I LOVE puns! I think being a bee-sy worker fits for this one, but my heart wants this one to bee rewarded for the worst of puns! 🐝

[LibraryFaerie]

@(you need an account to see links) those waves are so dreamy. I am super impressed you only used four colors!

@(you need an account to see links) I so love all that pink and the tiny cute cherry blossoms

@(you need an account to see links) I love your color pallet and those cute little stars

@(you need an account to see links), mega LOLs at the this is fine recreation. I can easily see my chonking dragon wandering around in there worried that he keeps accidentally setting things in his home on fire.

@(you need an account to see links) thank you for posting the larger image! Those tiny blue mushrooms are so fking cute

@(you need an account to see links), I already had a cow over your Great Wave. That's probably one of my favorite paintings of all time.

@(you need an account to see links) I love bees and anything bee related. They're so cute and chubby and buzzy. Recreating that pattern was a very cool idea!

@(you need an account to see links) wow, just wow. Thank you for including the 300% images! I'm interested in practing 8bit art now and seeing things blown up like that is really helpful to learn techniques.

I am obviously a sucker for anything cute and tiny and would be a terrible judge for these entries. I can't believe we have another two weeks for more submissions!
