Shoelace asked me to make a screen that was using the Pure graphics "Correctly", so I did. I never intended it for SotW anyway.
Also, there are an infinite number of things wrong with Evan's screen. It's empty. It overuses the palm trees that don't match the rest of the environment. It's palette is awful and makes me feel sick looking at it. It's structure is overly square (although to be fair, he fixed this one in his update shot). It's water is bare and just doesn't make sense being there. The sand, although this is a palette issue, looks so terrible that it makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a bottle cap. The subscreen is empty, and the sword sprite is awful.
There are just as many issues with my shot (if not more), but I'm just astounded that so many people voted for Evan blindly thinking that his shot is absolutely perfect.

For once, can you just be gracious in defeat and lose with some dignity? Or at least wait till then final votes are in before slandering the other shots.
