Great line art and nice clean shading. Makes me think of a never-made LucasArts adventure game from the golden age.

I wrote a haiku.

ok, just for your info i did NOT recolour the orignal or trace

Oh, really? Then this is an amazing coincidence:

We'll be happy to accept your art when you stop lying to us and start submitting your own work.

yes, give me all your blood and virgins. thanks dudes

Not an admin, just a mod. The Admiral rank on the forum is an accident.

But that's not gonna stop from abusing it. You're all doomed!

No                 

It!

Hello Ambient. Welcome to the chatterbox. It can happen here.

It's a shame fossil has had so many meltdowns. He's a great and creative artist when he's not hellbent on trolling.

There's been a lot of excitement today.

It isn't good work. Poor comments overally... Mediocre compared to proffesionals I've seen

Please don't pay any attention to Yair.

Please ignore Yair.

This is cute and well pixelled. Nice job :D

You mean a merkin?

Damn nu-school kids... TRUE gamers play on an oscilloscope.

My comment wasn't so much about this piece, but many of your other pieces. 

We have a "public queue" here, which is where pieces go for other PixelJoint members to vote on them. This particular piece didn't get a high enough score to get into the gallery. I don't know exactly why. 

As for your other pieces and allegations of special tools, it's just one of those things that was common and normal in the early scene days. Your 256 color images in particular seem tooled. It's just hard to manage that many colors by hand. There's nothing at all wrong with this way of making pixel art, it's just not right for the PixelJoint gallery. 

Please understand that no one's trying to call your art bad or anything like that. I know you've been getting upset and angry because a lot of your pieces aren't being allowed in. We're not trying to upset you. On the contrary, we want new artists to feel welcomed and happy at PixelJoint, but you have to understand that the purity of the gallery is, for us, the most important thing of all. We have to take certain precautions. We know about DPaint and other early programs used by sceners, and we know it was expected for you to use all of the tools available to you, whether they'd be called "pure" today or not. So when we see a new scener with really smooth art, we assume they're submitting work they made back when those tools were OK, and they simply don't understand the new school rules governing PixelJoint.

Not that PixelJoint is the supreme authority on what pixel art is. But remember, you joined us. You can't join a soccer team and get angry because they won't allow you to use a baseball bat.

Because it's tacky advertising that detracts from the art.

Not everyone uses the 12-month Julian calendar, you insensitive jerk!

Sorry if anyone was offended.

PandaFox, the reason some of your stuff requires revision is because a lot of old scene art is made using tools like blur, smear, auto AA, and things like that.  These tools were OK back in the day, but on PJ we have strict rules about things being made pixel by pixel. So when your stuff gets sent back, it's not because anyone thinks your art is bad, but because the rules about pixel art have changed a lot since the 80s/90s. There are plenty of showcases for scene art that does not fit PixelJoint's definition of pixel art, like pouet. Here, we ask that you only submit work that was made pixel by pixel, with no special tools.

I hope you continue to submit your work that follows the PJ guidelines. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss this.

 Please remove the URL.

Yup, what Angel said. The text and the semi-transparent dialogue box have to go before this can be accepted. Great job though, please do resubmit with those elements removed :)
