Oh my, it's April? Already?! Well, I guess it's time for the April Monthly Pixel Art Contest. Ray was nice enough to let me host the contest this month. Thanks again, Ray! I'm going to go over some rules before I announce the theme:
Absolutely follow every PC rule and Pixel Art section rules. Remember, Content Theft will not only disqualify you from this contest for this month, it will also land you a 4-point permanent infraction, probably from Ray. 8D Keep all spam, flaming and such away, too.
○ I will not allow this thread to be used for discussion of the entries. It appears that in the past the stickied discussion thread has been used for this-- no changes this time.
Please, please, please put your final entry in a spoiler, or in a CSS tag, or something that makes it stand out from the rest of the posts. I may miss your entry otherwise.
○ Keep all entries at least somewhat relevant to the topic.
○ The following file types allowed: PNG, GIF [for framed pixel animations]; (JPG/BMP may be allowed for large images with transparent backgrounds and very little white)
○ Please do not put any waterproofs on top of your artwork when you submit it.
The submission must be predominantly pixel art - this means you had to shade it, scratch it, and/or edit it. Simple recolors (of any kind) will not be accepted if it is apparent that little effort was expended in their creation.
○ All submissions due April, 30th, 2009, at 2 PM Central Daylight Savings Time. NO EXCEPTIONS.
○ You may edit your submission as much as you like, but keep follow-ups to the same post. (Click the "EDIT" button). And only one final submission per person.

Now, this month's theme, since it was such a hot topic yesterday: April Fools! I want to see something silly this month, so get ready to cause some laughter. The entry does not need to have anything to do with April, but it should make someone look like a fool!

EDIT: Sorry for any confusion about the theme. It just needs to be something silly, some sort of jest, meme or joke in the form of a sprite or something associated with comedy or laughter.

Ok, here's my "push not pull" entry

It looks distorted, so just click the thumbnail. It's not distorted.
I refuse to enter a battle of the wits with you,
it's against my morals to attack an unarmed person.

Does it have to be funny, I mean, can it be like a Jesters Hat or something? :\
The answer to your question has been edited into the first post.

Both entries accepted.

Here's mine.

If you don't understand it, Pikachus are Pokemon who do NOT like their tails yanked/pulled. So here's Charmander, about to pull the string...
(Note: The string is coincedentally conductors to electricity.)

The Pikachu-yank-hating is actually from the Pokemon Pokedex Collector's Edition. It's in one of Oak's "Do you know?" boxes.
Then I checked Bulbapedia. It is proven to be true.

EDIT: I added a blue sky and some clouds to the blank white spots, edited some shadings, and added some more trees. AND I added Pikachu and Charmander's noses.

I hope this is my final edit (to the art, of course)... It is.
Ugh, I know there's so many flaws, like the major perspective problem, but changing it would cause a BIG problem to the art... So I left it alone.

I did no shading because in space there is no light.
I could've sworn the Sun was in space. 8<

An old sprite, from who knows how long ago. A crossdressing Tyrogue. 8D;

It should be common sense that even the Sun is absent from the picture, the light IS still there.

Accepted unless you see your name below-

hazzamon: You asked me in private if it would be suitable. After reading these posts and considering the entry, it's really not pixel art. It's just a drawing.

And just to make a clarification, ~Teh Panda~'s first entry would not have been accepted whilst his second is accepted. Use that as a rule of thumb.

Okay, well, I really shouldn't accept that, as the background really isn't pixel art (although I suppose you cuold make a case for that). Something like that (bar the sprites) would be more suitable for a contest held in the art gallery main forum. The sprites were very loosely edited (the ones that were) and I don't really see a lot of pixel art elements in there. Oh, and did you even make the background? You can't use others' art for this contest with the exception of Ken Sugimori's art. (official sprites, Sugimori drawings, etc)
