Far shine

You didn't fail, I just didn't see it. Try adding more brighting around the inner parts of the clouds. These colors are really good. This doesn't look like pixel art, more like a paiting IMO.

Perhaps study the piece longer than 5 seconds before you comment then?

And adding "brighting" on the inside clouds would look wrong as well as technically being wrong.  The sun is on the other side of the clouds, therefore the side of the clouds we see are relativley dark to the brightness burst beyond.  (yay for alliteration!)

Really soft feel to this.  If this wasn't a pixel-art forum i wouldn't have known it was pixelled.  Matriaxs edit raises an interesting point about how different colors can change the style aswell as make it more cartoony.

Here you go. Seagull will also be reworked and placed on top.

i believe it to be totally unfair that youre the same age as me, but so much better than me
i have no crits for this, pallettes awesome, technical skill is awesome, message is well sent.

Well, you started pixeling a bit after me, didn't you? It would only be normal that you weren't as good as me. Unfortunately...your better In some things, at least. I mean, I'm always looking for specific artists when I check the Pixel Art section (yes, I'm a bit selective ) and you are one of them. I'm glad you like the piece too!

EDIT: Unless there's any huge fault I'm considering it done

It's very pretty and although fairly simplistic, quite detailed (with the clouds n all). The first thing i thought when i saw it was of freedom, so you get the point across very well. Good work.

I thought licks suggestion wouldve worked nicer, so I did a quick edit

i think it looks more.. atmospheric now

Well the point of the activity is to portray an emotion by the use of one hue/colour (not necessarily in an abstract way) so I'm not going to incorporate many (if any) hueshift in here. Thank you for the suggestion though.

You did read that... correct?

Sorry for useless post. Don't have anything to crit really, besides the clouds kinda look like their being sucked into the sun... Great, great work. I love it. And you. Ut.
