Heh... what he said was that he pretty much only used one filter basically to bring it down to only these 16 colours

Aye, on second look, maybe I haven't made myself clear: I played with the brightness/contrast/saturation first, and then reduced the colour amount in a few steps, using the same filter.
I'm not a pixel artist, more like a pixel...something, which you could call art...if you were drunk...and squinting...in a dark room...standing about 20 meters away. =)

It's a pic, I just made it use the provided palette, with a few additional tinkerings.

Well dude, I bow to your awesomenes... Well done! Looks great.

You should join www.pixeljoint.com , if you haven't already. Great place if you're into pixelart.

Hah, he'd probably get shot if he took that to pixeljoint... they don't take too kindly to a bit of photo-filtering

Jim, it came out quite nicely though.

Thanks!

Well, I agree that pixeljoint won't accept that. Misunderstood the post, thought you said that it wasn't filters but drawn. Anyway, still makes the buzz around the sprite jam nicer. You should try pixelling, it's fun!

There...doesn't look like him much, though I tried.

I think it does! That's good, man. That could be an entry for this comp.

Hahahahaha...I asked Jake on IRC who this is and he had no clue. You're biased because you saw the pic I posted earlier. Which translates to "Sorry, I still don't know how to draw properly yet" =D
Hmmm....maybe if I coloured him in, he'd look more like Clint?

Well it might... I always find it's a lot easier to add character to a design when you have colour to play with as well, as facial features depend much more on gradations of color than on lines only... give it a try! I still think it's not bad at all, though.

Alright guys 1 day left, any last minute entries perhaps?

Liked Mark Borg's entry the most, take it away Mark!
