Paint!
IMPORTANT:
Make your entry by WinXP Paint/GIMP (in GIMP brush tool is NOT allowed). Other programs are allowed BUT you are not allowed to use any tools that blur/unsharpen the edges (as example Win7 Paint unsharpens the drawing with pen). Your theme itself is free, you can draw anything you want, but just make it with paint. Good luck!

Now, I guess that happens when you submit an entry when the rules are not entirely set in stone yet. You submit something and then notice that you're not supposed to profit from AA if provided. Well great....

You made that in MS PAINT!!?!? Amazing!

Thanks! Yeah, Win7-MSPaint, to be more precise. That thing would've probably taken 20mins in Photoshop with a way better result (esp. when I look at the clouds now...). Might eventually draw something like that with proper lighting and depth some day xD
