For the "Oh Noes A Nightmare" challenge. This is the first time I've ever done pixel art other than a few small game sprites, and I can honestly say that if I have to dither any more I'll go crazy and murder somebody.

STORY
As a very small child, I had a recurring nightmare that I was in my kitchen and, looking out the window, saw a great dark cloud moving towards me. I knew instinctively that the cloud was somehow evil and ran from it, hiding under the table as I had nowhere else to go. The dream would always end with the cloud pressing against the large kitchen windows and with me being certain that, any minute, it would break through...

As you can see, the clouds didn't quite turn out right, so whatever they look like to you.. pretend that's what they're meant to be :D

great stylistic use of dithering.

Yeah, now it works, thanks! Looking at preview I thought that it was wood, trees or something, actually. Interesting and welll shaded, very 3D scene.

It was the .png saved from GraphicsGale. I've opened it in Paint and resaved as .png. Hopefully it'll work now. It should, since the preview PNG was saved from Paint.

Hmm... I just don't know - it is not appearing even from direct link (just perimeter with red cross). However, I downloaded it with download manager. Resulting file is 4 kbytes, same red cross, and Irfan Viewer (pretty old version) says that it is not a valid PNG format. Maybe it is some new format of PNG?

That a very interesting nightmare.
I like that atmosphere between nightmare and melancolie (like the subjective forest and sky). Nice choose for the colors !

Hmm, this is irritating. I've re-uploaded the detail image. Can you see it now?

If not, can you see it by going to http://www.pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/nightmareb.png ?
(sorry, I'm not sure how to do links on here.)

Maybe you have it in temporary internet files. You don't have to do another post - I mean click on EDIT button.

doesnt work for me either, this could screw you on the challenge anyway.

Corpus (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/3/2007 12:05:51 PM
?

shows up fine to me. also, by reuploading would I not disqualify myself from the challenge?

looks like detail file dissapeared somewhere. But preview file looks promising so please reupload it.
