Guys, please quit this nonsense fighting! I'll admit I was acting VERY stupid, and I'm sorry. But please, let's just bury the hatchet NOW. I don't want to see any of use get banned or SotW get taken off PZC just because of what happened here! Can't we all just get along and give each other constructive criticism on our shots! Can't I at least get one piece of constructive criticism? I want to know exactly what I could do to make that screen look better.

If you bother to read eariler posts Matt was complaining about always getting critizim I was going to quote that, but I saw someone above me had beat me to it.

I have read the entire topic and already knew what Matthew was mad about. I said that if he doesn't want criticism then why is he bothering to enter the contest? And you said "There are assholes like /M/ all over the internet." Just end it here, your getting nowhere. Just had to clear what you said to me.

Matthew, obviously you know that flaming is not tolerated, even if you edit it out.

In addition, this topic is WAY out of hand. Don't make me close it.

Yes... Can we please get back on topic?

Anyhow, those walls don't look all that right exactly... Eatincake, you might wanna fix that. The wood grain doesn't look like real wood.

The big problem with that is the only other shade of brown I have in the cset is to light to use on the wall, and if I use any darker shades than I end up with a even darker looking screen. That though is a pretty silly exuse, and if I really feel the need to Ill go back and fix it... only real issue is that changing the pallete would mess up a lot of graphic that Ive already made, which would be annoyingly time consuming to recolor all of them.

[Revfan9]

It's still much better than I could ever do.

Anyhow, I have submitted a shot to next week. It's not that LoP autumn shot I said I would submit. It is something entirely different. This... Is the big one I have been promising. It is so utterly bad that I will be maimed, raped, stabbed, and eaten when you all see it. I'm not kidding.

If that's true, I have a suggestion: Submit a different screenshot.

[Revfan9]

Actually, it's the best screen I have ever made. Or is it the worst screen? Dun dun dunn!!!!!! Find out on the next Screenshot of the Week!

*gets shot*

[Nimono]

Sorry 'bout that, Noir. I get like that sometimes. I REALLY need to see a therapist or counselor about that, shouldn't I?

Anyways, I have comments on two shots:

Blue Link: What is the purpose of the Mole? Is Link supposed to be protecting it at all costs, or is it just there for humor? Either way, it looks a bit too wide. May I suggest making it a bit thinner? It looks like the Super Mario World/Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Mega Mole, and I know for a fact that it is supposed to be a bit... pudgy, but not that wide. Still, nice screen.
Revfan: I don't exactly like that palette. Oh, it's fine, but the snow is a bit wrong. When I think (and see) snow, it's usually White, even in Mario games. Check out Super Mario All-Stars: Super Mario Bros. World 3 is a Snow world, and the background isn't covered in blue snow, it's covered in WHITE snow. Still, nice shot either way. Also, may I suggest making that Grass (If it IS grass...) a little brighter? I have to look hard to tell that it's there. Just a thought.

I like all the shots, but none really stand out much. I don't see any point in me voting for a screen, just to find that I want to vote for a different screen. Seriously, I like them all.

The snow is blue because it's suppossed to be at night. The snow is white in the daytime palette.

Well, it kinda blends into the mountains a little. The only thing that seems to make them different is the black outlines. Since it's at night, maybe you could just have a darker gray/white than for daytime. Or, just make the mountains a different color than the snow. Seriously, they combine too much (I'd say clash, but that's when 2 different colors don't look right together), but it's a nice shot anyways, especially considering you're always going for bad looks.

[Revfan9]

I TRY to make it look good... But it is just never so. Or it may be so next week. DUN DUN DUNN!!!

[Theryan]

Oh dear... this is a toughy...
*Nulls*

Matthew: An okay shot, but doesn't stand out a lot...
Eatin: I like the RPG style and custom work. Keep it up!
Pimpalot: That's an edited form of Masamune, isn't it? I like...
Blue: Well, the mole is cool, but nothing else stands out too much.
Sharon: I like the treetops and water. Keep it up!
Mr. Z: Okay for Classic, but not quite SOTW worthy.
Moonwhisper: Better than gameboy for sure!
Revfan: Nice work, here w/ custom works and all.

Fin.

Matthew: An okay shot, but doesn't stand out a lot...

I don't expect it to stand out. But could you please provide some reasons WHY it doesn't stand out (besides "It doesn't look as good as Pure") and how I can make it better? I want everyone to like my screens, but I can't do that without your help!

[Revfan9]

Perhaps you could improve the Dithering on the tree.
