    This competition will be a freestyle, meaning that you can do anything you want with it.

    This week's competition: Happy New Year!
    I thought that since the New Year is almost here, we'd have an image that suits the season (even though it's a chomby day image :p)

    The image you will manipulate is:
    [​IMG]

    You can make it any size you want, as long as it doesn't completely overwhelm my screen or stretch the board or anything evil like that.

    It can be animated if you would like.

    You can find a bigger sized image at
    http://images.neopets.com/backgrounds/1024by768_chomby_day_2006.zip

    This week's entries will end on Tuesday, January 2, 2007 :)omg 2007)
    Voting will end on January 5th.

    Re: graphics

    If I open it in Photoshop7, then Save for Web as JPG with 100 quality, I get this: http://baka-koneko.com/images/other/impega_c2.jpg

    Okay or no?

    And maybe I'll enter later~

    pattern

    Make a 3x3 pixel page, delete the background, use the pencil too and draw a diagonal line from top right to bottom left (or top left to bottom right). Then go to Edit > Define Pattern

    Then, to fill a layer, select the paint bucket tool, and in the bar at the top change colour to pattern and select your pattern =D

    Different Font, Size, Brushes, Text and Contrast and it looks the same?
    Besides, Sircharles used vector/other brushes at the bottom, I used Grunge and C4D brushes in it.

    The only 2 things that are the same is that our work is both dark looking, and we used the same stock.
