June Pixel Art Contest
 

June '09 Pixel Art Contest



This month will be a little different than usual. You have both a size limit, and a limited palette.
Your entry may not be any larger than 50 x 50 pixels, and may use no more than 4 colours.

You must design a character of some sort, while keeping it small and using only 4 colours.


Rules & Contest Information:
  • Your entry must be 50 pixels in height and 50 pixels in width, or smaller.
  • Your entry must contain no more than 4 colours. Transparency is not included in those 4 colours.
  • Obviously, follow of the Forum-wide PC Rules, as well as the Pixel Art Rules.
  • Your entry must be entirely your own.
  • You may submit one entry. If you submit more than one, then only the last one will be judged.
  • Your entry may be a new piece of pixel art you created for this contest, or any of your older works that may be relevant.
  • Entries must be submitted before July 1st.
  • You may edit your entry as much as you want prior to July 1st, just try not to go overboard and edit it every single day.
  • If your entry is disqualified for breaking the colour or size restrictions, you may enter again.
  • If your entry is disqualified for sprite theft, you may NOT enter again, and you will be reported.


If you do not have access to a program which allows you to make your entry transparent, you can upload it to Iaza.
Just click the link on top, upload it, click on "transparent" on the fourth column, and select the colour you want to make transparent.

Sorry it's so late, I was hoping someone else would do it this month, but.. that didn't happen.

Chesu June 10th, 2009 3:30 PM

Four colors? Well, this will be.... challenging.

edit: Here's my entry. Some sort of strange purple being, with a creepy mask. It's just the first thing that came to mind, I'll probably replace it with something completely different.

I think it looks really good how I did it~

Amaruuk June 10th, 2009 8:47 PM

Oh, I'm entering this one fo'sho'~

I'll edit this post when I make my entry, which will probably be tomorrow or the next day or something. Free time FTW~

EDIT: Here's my entry. It's Kina!

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q124/SilverFoxie/Pixel%20Art/kina-icon-1.gif

And if I don't win, at least I have a new dA avi (50x50 is their size)!

...Why do I get the feeling that 'good work; not enough detail' is gonna be written in my review someplace?

Doesn't it say that your entry has to be a character?

Tropical Sunlight June 11th, 2009 6:44 AM

Oapes[.]<-- in XSE this would be displayed as ...

Making a new one, then...
Couldn't you just change the rules?
I'm just trying to get a cheap way to get around it, waiting for a reply.

No. We don't change contest rules, either you follow them or you get disqualified.

BurstX June 11th, 2009 1:34 PM

ok i got my entry
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/burstninjax/junecontestentry.png
its a little psycic trying to master his powers by levatating a rock...yea i probably will think of somthing better cause idk i dont love it.

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 11th, 2009 2:20 PM

Wow, 7 entries in 24 hours... this is going great so far. I think there were like 7 entries total in the last one, and it had a whole month. XD

All are accepted, except for the Chibi Robo and ~Watermelon. You may either incorporate a character into your entry somehow, or make a new entry.

*bolds the word "character" in the first post*

Chesu June 11th, 2009 2:22 PM

Hmm... it has to be an original work, and it has to be a character... but does it have to be an original character?

edit: Dang, just missed him!

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 11th, 2009 2:56 PM

Yes. But it doesn't have to be that original of a character. Just a person or random animal could be considered a "character", I suppose.

Nicolas June 12th, 2009 4:47 PM

The rules are kinda hard don't cha think? well, I'll try to enter my entry :D

Sylphiel June 12th, 2009 5:43 PM

Awesome, I love challenges like this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/nepryne/snailwrie2.gif

It's a...snail thing. Something about it still bugs me, but I can't figure out what and I don't know if I'll feel like editing between now and July.

Really simple, but better than nothing.

And yes, it's meant to be slightly square, that's the originality. I'm creative, aren't I? It was in a box for too long.

Azumi June 13th, 2009 7:08 AM

Good thing we had to do a logo out of THREE colours in our art lesson before. Although it's different, and we had to use markers. Two different things.

Anyway, here ya go.

EDIT: Thank you for providing a link. Now I can use one more colour~

http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd343/MoritaMasami/junepixel2.png

Ooh yeah, it's transparent.

It's George!

Compared to the likes of Kinarii, Lornami, Sylphiel, etc., he doesn't really stand a chance.

I hope Sockivoranges are original enough!

Despite that fact that they have no teeth, Sockivorangers are in fact carnivorous plants, which, strangely enough, highly resemble sock puppets. They are the main inhabitants of Orangeworld™.

I made a new little avitar of Cody... i like it way better than my other entry... not to mention, it has actuall elements of spriting in it... it's easier to decipher... and it's just cuter!



Some times black and white is best ^^

Got rid of the color thing... it was just confusing... and to be frank, stupid...

And for fun... i colored it differently... don't judge this part... just the first one!

In case you didn't read the rules completely, they only judge the last one you showcase. I would recommend switching them so there are no mistakes.

In the spirit of the new HGSS I pixeled a young determined picture of gold.

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 17th, 2009 4:09 PM

Um... disqualified? Well, it seems to be some sort of accident, but it caused you to have more than 4 colors.

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/341/06172009190232.png

There are certain places with slight differences in color, the most obvious of which is in the eyes. In the top three gold pixels of the eye, you can see that one is a darker shade of the skin color. The gold is also slightly different than the hat and shirt's.

~Teh Panda~ June 17th, 2009 8:23 PM

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 19th, 2009 2:48 PM

Um.. I can't tell... is that a character?

Fox♠ June 19th, 2009 2:55 PM

It is, I was a bit lost too at first, but there's a face, it's just the hair is big.

Y-yes. ;3; It looked clear to me... It's just the hair is a focal point.

;_; Ah, maybe I should redo it again...

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 19th, 2009 9:14 PM

OHH. I see it now. I wasn't look at it right. XD Accepted.

Vannah☆ June 20th, 2009 5:41 AM

My entry...hopefully maybe. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/nightpaw/goldensteedim.png Its a creature sort of inspired by the legendary dog trio. He's about to drink from a small pool. Might fix it up later.

Alright... i'm changing it once again... don't like the last one so much... i came up with something entirely different! This I LOVE!!!

http://f.imagehost.org/0581/Cody_contest_devamp.png

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 21st, 2009 9:42 PM

Could you please make it 50 x 50 pixels? You're welcome to fill those 14 pixels with transparency, but the size of the canvas should be exactly 50 x 50.

= GPR = June 22nd, 2009 1:43 PM

Okey dokes! Thanks for letting me know!

Disqualified. Sorry, it has more than 4 colors. Black, white, the green/blue stripes, two shades of blue, three shades of yellow, and red, which comes to a total of.. 9.

Azumi June 22nd, 2009 10:40 PM

Ah, sorry~ Will take away the extra colour~

Gary, the Magic Fairy June 29th, 2009 9:07 PM

Accepted.

Just a reminder: Today is the final day of the contest. If you have any last-minute entries or edits, get them in now.

Also, someone else better friggin' host July's. I'm not doing it again. XD

inb4 contest close. I'm probably giving everyone the impression that Zephyr (this character) is the only one I draw xD That's not... erm, exactly true... I did have another entry started, but I couldn't get a good background going for it. So you'll have to settle for this I guess.

...I might possibly be able to host next month if you told me what I needed to do. :x

Yay. No more entries, please.
