First Bimonthly Pixel Art Competition
Well we need to get the blood flowing in this dying community so let's show people out there what we've got. This contest will be held every other month due to the size of the piece in comparison to the others we've done. Please update your pieces often and include your WIP stages to get some constructive criticism and feedback on your work. Judging will be held by 4-5 people who will use a rubric to grade your piece.
The theme for this piece is: RuneScape
This means you can pixel about anything as long as it has a direct connection with RuneScape. Themes will change in the following competitions. If you need references or ideas, feel free to use outside resources such as the Knowledge Base for ideas.
It must be between 100x300 and 200x500!
The competition officially begins tomorrow, March 31 at 12:00 A.M EST Time; March 31 at 5:00 A.M GMT.
The competition officially ends on April 29 at 11:59 P.M EST; April 29 at 4:59 A.M GMT.

The Grading Scale
Out of 200 Points
Creativity: Be sure that you are creative with your piece! Everybody gets tired of the same old guy dressed in the best armor, bulked up, and killing everybody around him. It gets tedious after awhile. Do something new, something different. We look forward to seeing what you can do!
Points: 60
Content: Make sure to have things going on in your piece. Don't make it empty. Use your space wisely and use as much as you can without making it look too busy. An empty piece will get a lower score here.
Points: 40
Color Choice: While this may not be too big, we certainly don't want a piece so dark that we can't see it, or a piece so bright that it hurts our eyes. Use your colors wisely as they can greatly impact the overall look.
Points: 20
Technicalities: This includes things like unproportional body parts, messy dithering, etc. Make sure to fix your technical errors!
Points: 60
Number of Votes Received: In the end, there will be a vote which determines this. We will put the number of votes you receive over a certain number (depending on the total amount) and give you that many points.
Points: 20
Bonus: This is just for that piece that gives you that "wow" factor and is truly something unbelievable.
Points: 10
