Description 3 goats, 3 colours, MS Paint.
I hope my retro palette with mustard and maroon doesn't cause problems to those with colour blindness.

I was trying to channel a bit of Tove Jansson in there with the troll.

Wonderful and unique! I love the troll's thoughts on eating the goats (and with a fork, no less)
It really tells a story, I love it.

This is an art style I've never seen before. The amount of simplicity benefits it so much and it somehow gives it a strange, archaic vibe. I won't easily forget this work.

This is simply so very astounding! The detailing is done so very well and it really feels like an old game or something of the sort. Well done on this~!

The name probably depends on who you ask, I can think of several alternatives. Most common one seems to be "Kolme pukkia" though, meaning just 'Three goats'.

This is really nice. I actually like the colors. Gives it an antique children's book feel....

Thank you. Mustard is something I normally only like to see on ham, but I think it works here, it makes the image a little bit more retro.

RandyHand In reply to Fragile-yet-CunNINg [2013-08-06 16:34:10 +0000 UTC]

Exactly...that's why I like it. It's more interesting sometimes than the sepia kind of look.

Quite lovely. Evokes a real storybook feel in it's own pixelly sorta way,Β Β or maybe that of a really cool old adventure game on a 90's PC.Β

Thank you. I admit, I thought about ruining the piece with some text saying: "Press X to choose this goat. Press W to wait for next one."

Aww memories. I did this play when I was in kindergarten! Wow! Nice piece though, it could do without the mustard color though, in my own opinion hahaha

Thank you. I'm not a big fan of mustard either, but I think it works here, it gives it a bit of "age".
