A special mention to the Kodama created and animated by Sergio (the animation is exactly the same of the original OAV!).
Thanks to everyone, in this contest you showed great skills and I would like to give a prize to all of you but time is over... maybe next time...

Contest is over ... decision pending.

For Everyone:

I know that everyone uses his favourite software for producing graphics, but for this particular kind of graphics (also called Pixel Art) i suggest you "Promotion" produced by Cosmigo.
This software is like a porting to Windows of the World Famous "Deluxe Paint 2" (originally developed for Amiga and Pc-DOS).
I use any kind of software for graphics, from Photoshop to Corel Draw to 3D Studio and Lightwave and believe me.... there's nothing better than Promotion for creating, modifying and animating this kind of graphics.
It's not Free, but it's worth a try.

N.B.: Deluxe Paint was used to create the graphics of Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, for adapting the 256 colors version of Monkey Island ... and I thing for almost every old Adventure Game. It's palette cycling function is used in several games for obtaining effects like water, thunders and so on..
It's a piece of History.

[THE EGG IS OPENING!]

THE EGG IS OPENING!

Show us HOW the egg is opening, and WHAT CREATURE is inside.

256 colors is the only limitation.

Hi there, this is my pic for the contest... it take me three hours of hard work, and probably it's too late... but here (in Italy) it's still August 14 2006, so maybe...
I've used the fantastic Pro Motion Software (that is almost a clone of Deluxe Paint II... ahhh old memories...)

Sorry for my English!!!
