According to that, one is reccomended.

I got really lazy when I saw this so I just threw some effects together in photoshop, for now this is my entry, maybe I will actually make something later.

86 colors? Try 10. Or try reading the rules lol

Hmm I see the resemblance but I cant match Damix's pattern with any area on that larger peice, also his is different colors. Probably just the same simple technique.

Dang! That was fast. I didnt even get enough time to immediately edit what I posted before you replied, hah.

Interesting enough, I had never seen that, that would have made my pic a lot easier to make, its about 20 less effects I use (after reading the tutorial)

Zen: yea I got lazy on that one

don't worry, I'll make something else (with reading the rules this time =D)

also after reading that website, it does provide some nice tutorials.

Sweet, now I won't have to edit it. Thanks dude.

You mean that thing you asked in the forum pm? I didnt word it like that! LOL

I'm just saying, with that particular peice, after the colors have been reduced, its not particularly aesthetically pleasing to the eye. And typically in this community, having to use such few colors, pixel work is going to be prefered. And the winner is ultimately voted on by the community, so...
