I finally have finished my submission for the contest, and not a moment too soon.

The entery is 40 colors exact (I had a hard time keeping the amount of colors down).

The star of this game is May, my Alechemist character. The game is kinda a cross over of an Action Adventure and an RPG.

In this screen May has just come across the first mini boss in this "dungeon", a Swan Demoness. She has started the battle by invoking the "Eye of the Moon" a magic reflective protection spell.

I think I worked on this for about 15 to 20 hours total (I might be underestimating). The jungle background took the longest, it's the most detailed foliage I've yet to draw. I also had to do the transeparency of the water by hand, since using a layer filter would cause too many colors.

All in all I'm very happy with my entery, I had planned to add more detail to it, but I was running out of time.

Mspaint, Animation Shop.

I can't not favorite this. I saw it a long time ago. I don' tknow how I didn't favorite this because the detail in it is amazing, the background, the fairy, the leaves, the pillars, the font, the everything! IT is truly beautiful and well done. I love pixel art!

*nods happily* I'm glad to see that using MSPaint hasn't gone out of style. That's what I use on my work, though i have yet to find a good, free animation program...what is Animation Shop like, Sakura?

This looks like it would be impossible to beat if it were a game, for some reason. I'd still play it. Every day. :heart: It's like... inverted Castlevania... And the lettering is gorgeous. WELL DONE YOU.

(I know this submission is old, but I don't like faving stuff without saying hello....)

...OMG TEH HOT!!...

There. Now that's out of my system, this is probably one of the best pixel works I think I've ever seen. Totally inspiring, and yet it makes what little I have seen/done look like a four-year-old playing with an oekaki.... -.-;;

Seriously, your pixel work rocks, and I can see I'm going to have to look around your gallery (a lot) more. ^.^
