I am not very happy with this piece but I haven't really done any PixelArt for some time, so I left the PA Galleries to fill with miscats and spent a few hours on trying to create a piece with a summer feel using cold colours for the Pixel-Pax challenge.
The idea is if you live in the southern hemisphere where it is summer you do a summer piece using cold colours, if you are in the northern hemisphere you do a winter scene using hot colours.
I don't think the tree works as it is, i think if it's on the same plane as the couple it may be a good idea to make it a silhouette also. You could also AA the silhouetted ground to the horizon. Nice concept though and good composition.
Interesting, when this came up i was listening to 'show me love' by Tatu.
Well done, and i hate to tell Zac, its 5 colors.
The use of purple and blue would make it exceptionally hard to make it feel summery, but all i'm feeling is winter or perhaps autumn. I had this vague feeling of a closed amusement park or something similar.

OOOOoo darn yes you are right about the tree and I have just put it up at PJs. Meh! I will do the tree again in silhouette as you suggest and add it to scraps and then make up my mind...thanks for the suggestion.
OK I looked at it with the changes and I agree. I have made the tree into a silhouette and I have AAd the islands in the horizon...I like it better, so I have changed the file.
Ah, i shouldn't have said horizon. I meant the dark ground beneath their feet not being smooth against the water. Also with the tree, i don't think you'd get so many holes in the silhouette. Even though a tree is made of many thin, 'holey' shapes when clumped together in 3 dimensions most of the holes are cancelled out. Those are my suggestions anyway.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.
