Pixelart Contest #7- Theme: Forest

Hello everyone! Welcome back for another Pixelart community contest! The main goal is to have some fun <3 This week's theme is "Forest" :D The theme is open to interpretation.

The winner(s) will get this post's total payout number but in Hive.

Any donations to the prize pool are appreciated. <3

I'll pick the winner, your post quality can influence my choice.
Depending on the prize pool size I'll pick winner(s) and possibly honorable mention and random winner. Since we have a more entries I'll probably use some prize pool for random winner but that means no rule exceptions anymore. I feel this will be more fair to many those just getting started with pixelart ^^

Minimum prize pool is 5hive.

● Most important- Only Original Art!!
● No copying other pixelart
● You can use photo reference (CC0 photos recommended).
● Non-traditional pixelart is welcome: like color pencils on paper (or voxel)
● No auto-pixel filters/programs allowed
● At least 1 art progress picture
● Comment on any Pixelart community post (other than my posts), lets improve the engagement and positivity :)
● Make a post in Pixelart community (or crosspost)
● Share your art preview and post link the comments so I don't miss it
● Use pixelart as one of your tags.

● ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ Remember to put some effort into how you write your post- OCD is watching, so you have a chance to get curated ;)

Deadline is Thursday 4.9, 10:00 UTC/GMT -not strict, you can basically enter until I choose the winners.
I'll announce the winner and next contest theme on Thursday, around same time as this post.
Feel free to ask any questions or add any suggestions in the comments.
