I think 'extrnded idle' or maybe 'bored' could work

been playing this off and on in spare moments and just want to say it's really fun! Haven't gotten nearly as far as I'd like in it though, this must be what they call 'speccy hard'! :)

Sorry, I guess I phrased that poorly. I totally get your point here and agree the standard shouldn't 'would someone sue'. I think I meant it as a suit would never happen because there is zero copyright issue, but I understand if not everyone would see it that way. If you do seek legal consul be sure to let us know what you hear.

Gotcha and I see where the Shillary work clearly crossed a line where this work is maybe more on the line. I am probably just a little extra sensitive on the topic because the site was accused of favoring some speech over others on another recent thread. I don't think that's true, but could easily see where removing the Shillary work and keeping this one could be used to argue that it does.
Well, I'll admit I'm just a worry wart about this type stuff, but I'm sure you're well aware of the slippery slope into toxic soup hosting political stuff could be, and I trust your (and the other admin's) judgement to keep that from happening. I'll add that you've done an amazing job of it so far!

Great stuff! Mad props for doing it all in MS Paint!
Palette makes me think of DB16 and DB32, have you seen those? If you like them and they match what you are thinking of they are great to use because it'll make it easier to use your work with a bunch of other stuff on OGA. Just a thought, no problem sticking to your own palette, it's certainly works! :)

Separating the Wyvern from the image is fairly tricky because the edges of it are so heavily anti-aliased.
If anyone on OGA knows a good way to do this I'd love to hear it.
Attaching my best effort just using the fuzzy wand tool in the Gimp.
Also two variants of that effort, flattened to black and white masks which can maybe useful.
Going back, I found flattening the dragon to black but leaving the sky as original was kind of pleasing so I've posted that result as well. Also posting a variant with just the text and dragon in black on solid white. You can use the 'Colorize' tool in GIMP to easily change the fill color on this one if you like it but want a different color fill.
Reviewing the submissions guidelines and faq, I guess there is nothing in there about political stuff, must have been thinking of the forum rules. Although, I do know the 'Shillary' images were here and they were removed as blatantly political even after the author had taken some steps to ensure that the images were legally clear.
Adding my two cents to the rest of the discussion, Doland is now president elect of the usa, if his likeness is not fair game for parody or use in art works I don't know what is. Even granting Doland's sensitive nature, I can't imagine any case ever being brought let alone granted hearing for using this sprite, with the possible exception of the endorsement use described above. And even then you'd have to work hard to make it anything a reasonable person would mistake for an actual endorsement and not an obvious paradoy.
Huh? I thought political art was expressly forbidden? We went through a similar discussion with some HRC images that were posted recently. Granted those were more overtly political as they contained text with a pretty clear message.

Holy crud this is awesome! I've been twiddling on my own submission for 'Rebirth' and all I can say is 'Why the heck didn't I think of this!'
Great stuff! Really nice of you to share with a CC0 license too!
That Sonic 'extended idle' animation was classic btw. I'll never forget seeing it for the first time at my buddy's house, blew all our minds!
I could see 'long idle'
I think 'extrnded idle' or maybe 'bored' could work

Zip files are also not allowed. :(
