That's definitely pixel art there, yes sir. You shouldn't have to worry about being disqualified anymore.

 

[Allstories]

It's pixel art, but you're still not getting it. As a regular paint drawing, it's pretty bad. As pixel art it's even worse. You're still not getting what pixel art is all about.

OK, Allstories, I get it, but I still don't get what Pixel Art is, I mean, I thought that pixel art is placing the pixels carefully.

 

[Jedite1000]

i like it shadow, it is really cute how its sad :D

 

[Shadow Grovyle]

Thanks Jedite1000, I really like yours too, especally Voltorb's eyes, how its mad. Good Luck on the contest :)

I posted my entry. Just so we're clear, the goomba is supposed to look like that. It's part of the joke.

 

[Jedite1000]

allstories it not bad ur entry, but what emotion is it?

 

[Allstories]

...I thought I spelled it out in bold white letters pretty well.

angst, nice choice and the whole thing is that your definition of pixel art is like a picture with a 1 pixel outline and our definition of pixel art is a picture made in a paint type program and draw it very carefully while zoomed in and ive read the wiki on it and nowhere does it say a pixel art picture has to have a 1 pixel outline

allstories yours is excellent! and so far jedite1000's is cool too, on my opinion i was hoping for more entries.

 

[Shadow Grovyle]

Allstories please don't double post. You have the edit buttion for that.

What on earth are you talking about? My definition of pixel art is the same one on Wikipedia. Pixel art is defined by the method with which you create something, not the end result. There's no clever, formulaic way you can just make your crappy oekaki drawing into pixel art.

Haunter, your piece can barely be considered pixel art, if at all. It's blatantly evident that you put almost zero effort into fixing up the lines. It seems entirely probable that you merely scribbled it up with the pencil tool and colored it in. That's not sufficient. If you want to take it a step further and clean up the lines so it flows nicely and looks pleasing to the eye, go ahead.

Jedite, your entry is still not pixel art. C'mon, you're honestly not fooling anyone. 2-3 hours? Honestly, even if you did hand-pixel it, I really doubt it would take that long. You're just using the circle tool for the body and the line tool for the rest. That is STILL NOT PIXEL ART.

In my opinion, using things like the curved line tool and the regular line tool is all right, but only if used to make things convenient. It should not comprise almost the entire image. Jedite, Kris, and Shadow Grovyle are all guilty of that. Even if the latter two at least have some elements of pixel art, I'd consider it a serious detriment to their entries, at least in pixel art standards.

what on earth r u talking about alstories, everybody accepted my pixel art, i even liked ur pixel art... u just love to say these thing right?..oh i see lol u want to win, u want everybody to be disqualified...ok alstories beside urs is their anyone else who did a pixel art?

 

[Signomi]

jedite1000, have you actually paid attention to his post? He doesn't say these things for his own enjoyment, he says them because certain people still cannot grasp the proper concept of what Pixel Art even is, and it's sad to know that they still don't. And no, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want you all disqualified. Infact, his entry is the only proper pixel art entry in the contest.

 

[Jedite1000]

what about maxxa, maxxa's pichu is pixel art right?

 

[Signomi]

It's a sprite. But only a sprite.

 

[castiboy]

*no one knows what pixelart is!!!*

true... imo that goomba needs some shading man, it just looks out of place in that pic... good exemple of what you're saying though... it was intentional i guess.
