Haven't tried drawing anything in Fireworks for a while, but I decided to give it a shot anyway.   I've already dithered and converted the NDS/GBA versions to the right colour format.

PSP:


NDS (top screen):


NDS (bottom screen):


NDS (single screen):


GBA:


EDIT: I can easily change the grass, if you don't like the colour

what is the best format for the pictures and what color profile does each need.

P. S. I don't have a website that I can post my pics on. Thus I have attached them as .zip files. Is there any other way to post images besides using a url?

M. Lucanius: Generally people host pictures elsewhere, like tinypic.com and you link them here as image tags.

Also, a note on my entry to this contest. The tree on the hill above the creek? It's a digital painting I did with my wacom tablet. A lot of effort went into it.

I know. I just don't and have never used photobucket, tinypic, etc.. I was asking if there was no other way.

btw what graphics manipulator did you use to make your entry, it looks pretty neat.

I used Gimp. It's an open source program similar to Photoshop. I also used a wacom tablet. I took some stock photographs I have and I used them as a model and I painted the scene on my computer. Then I applied a neat texture to it to make it look like canvas. Finally, I selected a nice font and used it. I think it turned out really well and I'm hoping for first place, obviously, but I'll settle for second place

Very nice. Simply the fact that you went to the effort to actually digitally paint something defininately deserves 1st or 2nd place 

@Everyone else: Thanks for the great comments!  I used to draw stages for SSB Rumble, but I guess that's not a good thing   

[M. Lucanius]

I guess my question got buried... What format is best for each platform.
For instance, I already know that the NDS requires 256 colors in png,
bmp, or gif, indexed or not (well gif is always indexed I guess). Further-
more, monochromatic images are best reduced to 33 colors.

What about GBA and PSP?

[M. Lucanius]

Finally! Here's the first.
