Win official Witcher jigsaw puzzles and wolf head medallions!

We have a couple more gifts to hand out before our 5th birthday celebration comes to an end. For starters, just to spoil you all, we're giving away a free copy of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition with every purchase on GOG.com, until Thursday, October 17 at 9:59 AM GMT. If you haven't had the chance yet to meet Geralt of Rivia, the white-haired monster slayer, this is your most affordable ticket to the Witcherverse. That's not all, however. CD Projekt RED was kind enough to share some official Witcher merchandise with us, and we want to give it all away to you, dear users! But, as you may have expected, this does not come without a challenge.

Are you good with pixel-art? This competition is perfect for you! We want to see your Witcher-related pixel-art. Be it scenes, character's, classic 2D or isometric, 8-bit or 16-bit palette, invented game screen-shot mock-ups--it's up to you. There are two important rules: your image needs to be up-scaled x2 (that means 2x2 pixels) after it's done, so it can be viewed without too much squinting, and the resulting up-scaled image must be no larger than 600x600 pixels in size. Apart from that, it's all you and your creativity!

The two top submissions win the official Witcher beautiful jigsaw puzzles, and a code for $9.99 GOG.com game. Three runner-ups get Witcher wolf-head medallions and a $5.99 GOG.com game. You have time until Monday, October 14, at 9:59AM GMT to submit your work in the forum thread below. Good luck, and have fun!

Notice: You retain rights to your submitted work, but by entering the compo you grant us the right to present your submission on our site and social media channels (with all due credit, of course).
Never done pixel art before so I thought I would give it a shot, although looking at other entries, I don't stand a chance.

Anyway, I hope I did the rules right, I present, Saskia the dragon slayer! Doing it from scratch was hard, and I didn't realize I had so little time, I have no clue how people made such amazing stuff so fast

I'm very excited for the upcoming apparition of Yennefer, so there is my entry, a pixeldoll (100% by me, not traced) of her (scaled x2) :D
Attachments:
Second entry, if you can only submit one, consider this my only entry.

Thanks :)

SuperForace: Here's my entry... I've always been rather bad at pixel art, but this turned out pretty good, imo! One of my favorite scenes from W2, with a classic point 'n click twist :)
Done with Paint, took me around 7 hours.
(I took some pics of the progress, but can't post links now :<)
Nice work and great idea, I'd sooo play that :D
Here is my silly entry.

So here comes my final Pixel Art...

The epic showdown of Geralt and Letho in the burning Loc Muinne: letho_vs_geralt.png

There is also one with Letho alone...

I hope you like it. Good luck to everyone!!!

edit: I also added my first attempt, although I think it is not allowed for the competition.
Because of:

jamyskis: Random question: Does it have to be original pixel art or can it be original assets image-processed?

G-Doc: It needs to be original and made from scratch.

Liksmaskaren: This is my entry. A 16-bit version.
I love it !

ioxles: Geralt having fun in the Forest. Be nice.

Edit: Added some falling leaves and extra blur
I think the one without leaves and blur is better. ;)
This is actually something I've done a long time ago. Nothing fancy, but fits the requirement :)

It's Sunday so... why not? :-)

Little pixelart Geralt + the Witcher logo (1x and 2x).

My first pixelart ever! I hope you like it!
btw in the remote case that I finish in the 1st or 2nd place, I will prefer a medallion over a puzzle :P
