I will be tallying week 5 and week 6 together! After 24 hours is up I'll round them all up and we'll be back to speed.
We're going to do things a little different this time. Pixel Challenge #7 Atmospheric a study of merrigo :pokeball: You are to make a pixel art with works of the pixel artist merrigo (amanda) in mind! Many of you might know that she did some of the artwork for Undertale! There are many amazing things I can say about this artist, but we are to focus on the atmosphere of her pixel and landscape works. She often has a very limited but amazing pallet that tackles large swaths of clouds and skies with minimal, if not any dithering! The lighting in this artist's work is something that should be studied closely. I don't want you to copy her work, but to let it inspire you, or try and use the color pallets that she has. I don't have any set restrictions, but it's recommended to go large! Examples of Lighting: http://49.media.tumblr.com/34b3a6b2b47f2c5da7e1f85f4746186e/tumblr_o32yfhsavk1qc2xm1o1_500.gif http://49.media.tumblr.com/df6e0ae22d74fae6ffdc820144f4547a/tumblr_nttdijDlvn1qc2xm1o4_500.gif http://49.media.tumblr.com/fcd2f0396cf124607bc232eae49f4a00/tumblr_neaby1N1uL1qc2xm1o1_500.gif http://49.media.tumblr.com/17f1f6c1cc9ec33edcaff6f8060f054d/tumblr_nh86exUUg61qc2xm1o1_500.gif Examples of Landscapes: http://49.media.tumblr.com/5010d089c0dd1fe22834f3628521580e/tumblr_o1c95rnBzr1qc2xm1o1_500.gif http://45.media.tumblr.com/a8e8623fc8b4f3d89a916ca640217bfc/tumblr_nk1p2qpKZC1qc2xm1o1_500.gif http://49.media.tumblr.com/4d30032c533701d444d0218ed4d42728/tumblr_nj2daz7uxh1qc2xm1o1_500.gif http://49.media.tumblr.com/1e56bf2e4891cba2c06dd8cd4aa9e23a/tumblr_nubqp9ZLey1qc2xm1o1_500.gif :pokeball: For this week.... (#7) You'll get 20 points for doing your first sprite. You then will get 15 points for every sprite after, up to 2 extra sprites. I'm willing to give partial points for WIPs so please post them too! |
Ok, actually I couldn't sleep so I'm just going to tally them up right now. If you have a last minute entry you can still submit it, I'll just edit the points in!

WIP 1.5
http://i.imgur.com/K7NJSlK.png Started off on Miiverse for the black and white, now going back over in MS Paint to tune up and colorize. The blue thing in the middle of the sky is supposed to be an airship, transitioning from New Camalot up in the background to [unnamed techno-city] in the foreground. Having some trouble making up my mind on the palette - I'm looking at merrigo's work to help with detailing and colors that blend well, and I may keep the blue or revert back to the hot pink from v1.2. WIP 1.7.4 http://i.imgur.com/iOultJf.png Thinking I'll need to expand clouds all behind [techno city] to help break up the fleshy-tan background. I have to say, this is a surprisingly fun expedition. I'll trying to keep in mind techniques I've learned and put them to use as I proceed. Not so sure about the airship though. WIP 1.7.9 http://i.imgur.com/NCb9dk7.png WIP 1.8.3 http://i.imgur.com/utvOgI7.png |

Meanwhile I'm struggling with mine at the moment, I'll go ahead and post a WIP in case I can't finish it. http://i.imgur.com/Uxw3NM5.png http://i.imgur.com/DbfMQYj.png |
C-can we maybe request an extension on this one? Or can I just turn one in after the allotted time for no points because this is literally the best thing ever but I dunno if I'll be able to participate! /cryyy

WIP 1.8.5 http://ultraimg.com/images/wklspttun8_4.png I'm experimenting with window style on the towers, kind of aiming for a gothic influence I think? Not sure which tower's panes looks better if either, I may scrap them both and try for something else. Maybe those things gargoyles sit on jutting from the 'floors'. Quote:

Edit WIP 1.8.7 http://i.imgur.com/mE58m0p.png Not a great deal improved but I'm satisfied with the windows on the towers now. Added some extra clouds in the background as they weren't looking right in the foreground as I'd intended. Not sure what more I'm going to do with this but I have so much free space remaining that I might have to throw in some extra townage to fill things in. WIP 1.9 http://i.imgur.com/eS7bXyf.png Pretty sure I've got this licked. I really don't know what more I can add to Rose Tokyo now that I've got the major architecture finished for the towers. They're supposed to be resting on islands of stone jutting up from the sea, so I suppose I can add a last few textures to indicate stone beneath, but that's about it. I'm really happy with the way this has turne dout. |
Sorry to double-post again. But... I'm done. At least as far as I can tell, at this point.
Complete. V1.9.4 http://i.imgur.com/DlJ91F9.png Feels good. Really good. I really didn't think I could do this. And... well, it wasn't easy but it wasn't the struggle I was expecting, either. Kudos to Nina for this challenge! Edit Also, have a delightful gif of the process from start to finish. |
I'm lifting the double posting rule on this thread - the way it is for a personal gallery. Art doesn't happen in such an orderly fashion and if someone has multiple entries but for whatever reason can't edit a previous post, they shouldn't be punished for contributing regardless. Just don't go too crazy with it, kids!

We will be continuing this week's into next week, but will also be having another challenge! So you can do either or both this week!
Pixel Challenge #8 Mockup :pokeball: Make a game mockup! Even if it's just a start screen, just make a screen that looks like it could be from a game! I'd probably stick with gameboy or gameboy advance games, to keep it simple. Example: http://i.imgur.com/AQu5Ic5.gif http://i.imgur.com/pijImLu.png My example for a show opener. :pokeball: For this week.... (#8) You'll get 15 points for doing your mockup! There's a bit of work into this, so I don't expect multiples. |
howve i not seen this yet o.o these are really interesting contests lol
|
We will be on a break now! Due to other things to be dealt with and reformatting of Art School, this challenge is going on a break and might be reformatted/refreshed!
During this time, feel free to make art from any of the past challenges! I will be awarding points for any of them you do. So if there was a cool one you missed or just started worked on and couldn't finish, now is the time to do it. : ) Thanks guys for all you've done so far. |
Presenting the most impressive 3D jousting game you will ever see in your life in 8-bit glory... Knight MII Jousting!
http://i.imgur.com/RahLLcc.png Oh, uh. Where are the knights and horses? Drat! It's one of those games that blanks out the on-screen sprites when you pause it! Well that's a complication. But hey! Look at those beautiful stats! And the intricate depth of that background! What a stunner, eh? ... Sorry guys. I wanted to actually give something worth while here but I just cannot capture a horse or knight on horse back and I'm finding the process to be a lot more frustrating than fun. Edit Well crap, I guess that's what I get for opening the post tab a few hours ago and not refreshing while I was tinkering away at the above. |

Just joined but I figured I should try all of these challenges out for some good pixel art practice haha Silhouette: (tried to cram a Mantine in there) http://i.imgur.com/AoOxggW.png Byte Sized Food: It's a melon! http://i.imgur.com/hO2Kqw4.png Tiny: Tried to do speakers but idk if that's clear http://i.imgur.com/n0oOMSy.png Resize: Tiny melon! http://i.imgur.com/hO2Kqw4.png http://i.imgur.com/qUhdnJh.png Card: It's a Starmie http://i.imgur.com/E6hLJJz.png Tamagotchi: Tried to do Vanilluxe lol http://i.imgur.com/a7uFAbg.gif http://i.imgur.com/crV5YkW.gif Atmospheric: Good ol NYC :) http://i.imgur.com/6veoHcO.png Game Screen: went a little lazy with this one haha http://i.imgur.com/8rNeN5i.png |
This is my first ever pixel art. I know it sucks, lol.
http://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/371794eb-072d-11e6-ab83-4f5d209f20fe.gif (It's really small so you'll need to zoom in if you want to see it.) EDIT: Just realized I put it in my sig too. xD |
WE'RE BACK AT IT GUYS
CDB SHOOTS into first by making up the rest of the old ones! Pixel Challenge #9 Cursor :pokeball: Make a mouse cursor! Pretend it's the early 2000's and everyone had to have that custom cursor on their webpage. Yes, people still use them now, but usually it's ironically unironically...oh you know! Examples: http://cursors3.totallyfreecursors.com/thumbnails/justinbieberglitter.gif http://cursors3.totallyfreecursors.com/thumbnails/doll13glitter.gif http://cursors4.totallyfreecursors.com/thumbnails/dragon.gif (glitter not necessary) :pokeball: For this week.... (#9) You'll get 10 points for doing your cursor! +3 if it's animated and +5 for each cursor, up to 5 total. :pokeball: When's the deadline?: When the next week's challenge is posted, you have 24 hours left on last week's prompt. Current Standings (Week 9) http://i.imgur.com/9SMJ6rs.gif CDB: 130 http://i.imgur.com/9SMJ6rs.gif ZKE: 120 Nina: 119 Kirby: 108 Vendily: 60 Logiedan: 49 Lostelle: 45 M.L : 42 Juno: 39 zappyspiker: 23 Cyberglass: 15 http://i.imgur.com/9SMJ6rs.gif Shibui: 10 JohnnyMustang: 10 Foxrally: 10 Merlin: 10 Deltakirby: 10 Loki: 10 Tobiasu: 10 PoLlOrOn: 10 Spherical Ice: 10 |
Wooo guess all that work got me to first haha
tbh I didn't even notice this thread; the A&D School is a bit quiet in terms of activity so I didn't even realize that this was moved here, but I will keep this in mind! I don't have anything for the cursor yet, but I have an idea of what I want to do :) |
Quote:
I knew that it would have decreased activity, but I'm trying to help art school itself get more activity so...it'll be here for now. Hopefully it'll be joined by more challenges! :D |
Same here, didn't realize this got moved, haha. Made a little blinking onigiri cursor for this week!
http://i.imgur.com/BDZ2B5o.gif |
I guess my announcement needs more sparkles and emoji for attention! :0!
|
This sprite took way longer than it should've. But it's here now, right?
http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p481/CatmanDaPhotographCat/cursor_zpstvip1xvx.png It's a tree. With fire swirling around it. :S How is it? This is my first time doing this kind of thing, so all feedback would be appreciated! EDIT: P.S, is it too late to do Challenges 1-8? |
Quote:
Next challenge coming soon. After I...stop being lazy. ;p |
| All times are GMT -8. The time now is 2:42 AM. |
