The reason why this screen is so uninteresting is because I sent this in for SOTW when it was still very low on entrants
IaN: I kinda figured Inquisition would be a more evil quest, but now I've seen the title screen, it looks kinda happy though (Flower, happy colors)
Gashin: Those houses don't quite look like a river
Still, those tiles all look mighty good.
PrinceMSC: Yay, Minish Cap tiles, but I don't remember a purple palette in the game.
Shoelace: Poor Gibdo and Leever. Nice screen.
Snort: This screen looks pretty complicated, but I like it.

I would say there is a difference. The difference is that Nintendo didn't release a collection of tiles, they released a fully-made game. If Snort is using Ccc's tileset, that means he is giving content, form, and function to something which has not yet been seen in any game.
Also, when Pure screenshots win, I doubt you will find many people anymore who say they voted for it because of the quality of the ripped tiles. From what I've seen, Pure is simply easy to work with, which causes people to find it easier to create good screens.

Yes, I see your point, but aren't the tilesets made to be used to make games anyways? Tilesets are just pre-production games, which are made to make fully-made games.
But Pure is composed mostly of ripped tiles from the GB games, and other edits from the PZC community, just with new palettes and wicked organization. Albiet a lot of the rips are edited to fit the needs of the tileset, but so are a lot of the TMC tiles that have been ripped by numerous people in the past few months. The only difference is that this is being done by many people by themselves, and not for one big set.
I'm not saying that everyone should use ripped tiles, I just think why should I spend 2 hours to make just a mockup for wall tiles when I can spend those two hours ripping them from agame, and then editing those to make it even better. Not everything is purely ripped, a lot of tiles still have to be edited to fit into ZC, and to fit into what the person needs. Sprite-editing is a lot more effecient than sprite-making for those who don't have the time or skill to do so.
Yeah, you bring up a good point. I didn't originally plan on going with the leaves and flowers and stuff, at first I just had the tablet, and I was looking for something to put in the background. I think it looks nice, but it still has a far way to go.

IaN: Woah. This definitely is one of the best title screens I've seen in a long time. Excellent job.
Gashin: Just wow. I'm amazed anyone could get that cool at tiles. This is excellent, though there doesn't seem to be much of a depth feeling between the buildings and the ground.
PrinceMSC: Really nice! I find nothing wrong with this shot. I don't think the purple is bad at all. You win my vote.
Shoelace: I think I'm really starting to hate Pure lava. It's just ugly. Anyway, the setup is fairly good. Personally, I think there should be a bit more variety though. And your map is messed up. I'm guessing it's not that way in the game though.
Snort: This shot is pretty good. Really awesome setup. But, some variety in the trees would have added to this pic.

No, the map is just fine. I made the map as according to the level and open areas. And yeah, I don't like the Pure lava either.
Also I like PrinceMSC's shot. I don't care if it is ripped because I didn't make my tiles either, just edited them. The purple in his shot is the color of the ground in the graveyard.

Mr. Z- Well, your caption really says it. Looks good though.
IaN- That is a very neat looking title screen, or story screen. It's very well made. Good stuff.
Gashin- Hey, this is an excellent picture Gashin. This is truly a piece of art we have here. Great stuff. *votes*
PrinceMSC- Something I really didn't expect. An entire screen of ripped tiles that was submitted by Prince. It's a nice screen, and good setup, but I really like your custom made stuff. Good screen though.
Shoelace- Cool stuff Mr. Lace. I like how the floor looks like it's pretty close to the same level as the lava. Cool screen.
Snort- Good looking screen Snort. It's neat seeing them tunnel/passageways in the side of the mountain. Looks good.
See, I told you guys that I wouldn't end up getting a shot in, even though I said I wanted to...

IaN: Nice title screen.
Gashin: *votes*
PrinceMSC: Wow this looks great.
Shoelace: This looks good but it doesn't look as good as the other screens I have seen in your quest. :\
Snort:The layout looks great but I think you should have entered somthing a bit better. :\
This is going to be a close one.

Ian: Interesting title screen, but it's a bit bright.
Gashin: You say those are custom tiles? I swear I've seen them before... If you ask me, the colors are kinda dull...
PrinceMSC: Holy Minish Cap! :votes for Prince:
Shoelace: So Level 3 has the Magic Boomerang... and what else? Nice touch with the enemies buried in lava. Would be my backup vote.
Snort: Mountains, passageways... (yawn).
Mr. Z, that purple pallette is from Royal Valley.
