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.

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.

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!

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?

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

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

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

Sylphiel June 12th, 2009 5:43 PM

Awesome, I love challenges like this.

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~

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.
