 		Did you just whip that up? If so, nice pixel art Jay

 		Yup, whipped up in about 20 mins or so. Probably should've been spending 20 mins on Centipong, but. Meh, what can you do. Sometimes insanity just hits you like that!

 		Haha, yeah, I'm with Tiki on this one. That looks really good, and makes me wish I had artistic ability and not just coding and development ability. Then I could be a one-man-shop, no coder art from me!

 		That's no artistic talent, that's years of working with the exact same copy of PaintshopPro7, and getting used to every nook and cranny.

Background layer, Blue + Green

Second layer, Airbrush with "Edge preserved smooth". Note, they have no stumps.

Third layer, two big clumps selected, coloured in brown, noise added, then more Edge Preserved Smooth.

Fourth layer, Area selected, coloured in brown, noise added, Motion blur added for direction of running water. Repeat 3 times, with added brightness where the water flows meet. Then turn down the layer's alpha a teensy bit so the water's transparent.

Fifth layer, A 64x16 rectangle (avabar) rotated, with stick arms, stick legs, eyes, mouth, and a silly hat.


No talent at all, just knowledge of the tools.

Now, Cower's artsy topics, THEY'RE talent!!!
