Hope everyone had a good week here on Steemit!

Congratulations to last week's winner @overkillcoin

It's that time of the week again, where the fine community chooses the winner of Pixel Art Weekly!

Let's just jump right into it!
This week, due to the holiday, I was feeling a lil patriotic.
The theme this week was: 4th of July

Here are your top 3 entries!

@mrslauren

@archerized

And finally...

@luja

These are all great entries, but just like Highlander...There Can Be Only One!!

Thank you to those who participated this week and thank you to everyone who helped support Pixel Art Weekly. It's because of all of you that this contest continues to thrive!

Now go vote for someone dammit!

(Look @acidyo I didn't say it even once! 😉)

Sort:  

While I think,
that @mrslauren s pixelart is impressive and smooth,
and
that @luja s pixelart carries the soul of patriotism,
I think I will go with @archerized s pixelart.

While it may not have the strongest impression at first, like the two other great pixelarts,
or has the smoothest animations,
it carries the story of a young boy,
A story, in which he wishes to reunite with his father,

A wish that may or may never become true in the future.

Nonetheless I wish all participants my best wishes and that they have fun with this contest, so that they may be rewarded with a great experience!

@msrlauren all the way. Very talented.

welcome dearie

Devestating to choose one but I like the story @archerized entails

@mrslauren made the best

My vote goes to @mrslauren

same here @mrslauren

Thank you both!! :)

They're all great. I'm going for @mslauren because that sundown is so mesmerizing. And Her foreworks are the best. Kudos to @archerizes & @luja though.

While I have the mike, might I suggest a tiered winner system for future PAWs. Something like 60 % for 1st 30% 2nd and 10 % 3rd ?! Or somewhere along the lines. That way it wouldn't leave the excellent runners up empty handed and rewards them for their efforts too ... just a suggestion.

That's a great suggestion. @eqko

Thank you!! :D

They are all nice but @mrslauren gets my vote :)

I vote for @luja

Thanks for your vote :)

I am voting for @luja. Nice and smooth animation and shows patriotism towards the country.

Thanks :)

@archerized gave me all the feels so I'm going with that one

I cast my ballet for archerized ~, I was torn between them and @luja. I honestly hate having to pick a single winner. To me you are all winners!

That's a hard pick! @luja has great visuals, but I really like the thought and effort @archerized has put into his work, so my vote goes to @archerized this time.

My vote goes to @archerized this time. I really liked @mrslauren's and @luja's art, but the story-telling of @archerized's entry was the deal-maker for me.

oh shit, I just realized that I upvoted and commented on all the people that voted for me........ dammit. I should have read the post thoroughly first. Does that disqualify all people that voted for me? :( @jonny-clearwater

No, you're fine

It's the upvotes that don't count as votes...the original vote absolutely counts

oh okay good!! I was worried for a moment there. Thanks for clarifying :)

The transition from sunset to night that mrslauren did was fantastic and the whole horse animation that luja did was amazing too, but I'm afraid I'll have to go for @archerized's entry because like others have said here, it tells a story. The story is the soul of gif and it makes you wonder about the boy and his life.

My vote goes for @luja. Very fluid animation and loved the horse and flag animation.

top one for the steemit shoutout but I liked the bottom one a lot as well.. they were all good though, baaaah! Great contest man. Keep up the good work!

Sorry couldn't participate in this one, guess I'll have to vote for someone instead lol.

My vote goes to the middle entry by @archerized and here's why. It's a story, something which I have seen rarely in different pixel art contests around the interwebs. It's almost a "short film" instead of a gif because it establishes a world, a world which we can populate with our imagination. In which war is that child's father fighting in? Will he ever be back?

It kinda paints the horrors of war, not the ones on the battlefield, but the ones back home.

@mrslauren has my vote :) All very cool work though!

Congrats to the top 3! My vote goes for @mrslauren who did such a beautiful pixel art! Impressive with the steemit logo included! Team M2W!

Wow! These are all really creative pieces!

Personally, I feel attached to the first, by @mrslauren - the sky is incredible... I feel like it's me out there watching those fireworks ;)! Best of luck to you girl! My vote goes out to you!
