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!
