I saw your post on tigsource.com: so it's going to be a space adventure game? have you designed any of the aliens yet?

I like it! only thing what is the red thing flapping around? his tongue? a scarf? if you want to plat to look hot, shouldn't his arm holding the plate be red? I assume his other arm is the black piece extended in front of him(and not his jaw). and the scarf/tongue should be some other color IMHO.

Edit:


...so his mouth is open(couldn't see the teeth in the browser). ...so where's his other arm then?

hey there, not familiar with GraphicsGale(i do most everything in GIMP myself), although if your trying to resize, you might try converting to rgb, and then resizing, and then using that as a template to paint over. ...that's just one pixel-newb to another...

I like it! how about we go 50%-50% on the profits! with of course a fair use exception for educational purposes

...Update(04/June/2020): I'm still not sure how I wan't to fix Bolton yet(maybe just start over). ...so much pixel noise; also, i sized the horizontal bars twice as thick as they should be for the size of the image; and the frame is kinda on the tall side too(I wan't to settle on a common size should I decide to tile a whole bunch of these things) 

...I did a little resize+cleanup on the original Obama Hope poster for practice today(It ended up 356w x 534h px total including 12px borders; perhaps it's best to match the original):

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure my style is compatible with pixeljoint sadly; also the piece is not finished(ran out of time).

Is "posterising" a technical term? admittedly that's probably what I've been doing recently; most of my stuff is meme-stickers: https://www.deviantart.com/hanshotth3rd/gallery/all

Looking at it now, I agree with you very much: there were some details lost in the processing. I actually began trying to add some of them back in by hand, although it became very late, and i ran out of time... Maybe i should have put "W.I.P." in the title, although i'm not sure I'll work on it anymore right now(I need to work more on my process than getting stuck on any one piece).

...there should be more challenges & activities here, although i think weekly might be pushing it a bit. I've been aware of the PJ weekly challenges for awhile now, and just haven't participated in one before, but the subject of this challenge just struck me, and I came up with the idea.
