But it's really quite amazing. I take issue with a clearly biased practice -- just ask yourself when it was that you last saw the rule: "no lo-res entries allowed" -- and I'm portrayed as the intolerant guy. The way that some of you are able to spin this would leave Karl Rove teary-eyed.

You're right, the rules tend to encourage low-res entries. That doesnt mean hi-res is excluded completely. Many people on here are just into the retro-look. It's a different person setting the rules each time, if you're unhappy with this low-res trend then all it takes is a post in a competition thread, suggesting to allow a higher resolution in the next compo, or just win a competition and set the rules you want. But you're taking this way out of proportion. It's not some kind of organized conspiracy to discriminate hi-res so stop acting like the whole forum is against you, you whiny bighead.

Ugh, don't get me started on the discriminating practices of the sprite jam.

Which makes it even more depressing reading that Andail has limited the resolution to 320x200 for the 'standard edition', in what I guess is an attempt to pander to the disgruntled pixel crowd. Wonder if these practices will ever leave these forums.

Are you gonna moan about the freemasons and jews taking over the forum in your next post? Don't be so paranoid.

Eric, I'm a little disturbed by what made the cut for "fun" in that image.

You're right. Gift packages are totally boring.

By the way, spaceboy, with such great pixelart why haven't you ever made any adventure? Are you at least planning one?

What does everyone else think?

Too complicated. Let's just agree that the colouring ball is mainly about creativity and technique is secondary.

The two towers in your picture look like they are standing on the grey building. If you want to push something into the background you can use aerial perspective(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_perspective). I did this by putting a transparent layer over the towers. The color I used in the layer is a mix of 3 different colors from the clouds.
I also reduced the saturation, changed the tone of the road and applied a stronger contrast to that piece of whatever on the road.

blghost(voice): it's not my fault. i was born that way.
