May Contest Discussion Thread
This thread is for discussing the contest and its entries.
The judges are currently me, The Black Hedgehog and Houndoom1. Discussion Rules -If you want to know how people feel about your entry before submitting it, show it here. -If you're going to criticize work either posted here or at the entry thread, make it constructive criticism. -No spam, of course. |
i can be a judge if you want i all ready judged the PokéCommunity Artstravaganza two times
so i will be a judge |
Okay, you are now a judge for the contest.
|
can I be a judge for the may contest?
|
Don't forget the rules of the contest and what others should comprehend if they enter.
|
alright. I'll go REread the pixel rules just in case.
|
Im here if you need a Judge, I know my way around the Art Section, with a number of Comics and Fakemon to my name.
Therefore i will put myself foward as a judge. |
Enu, you are now also a judge. I also added rules to both threads. Maneachicken, we don't need any more judges, sorry.
|
Fair Enough! Good Luck to all the Participants! I Might Enter one, but it'll turn out quite bad!
|
Well, try our best.
who knows? it may turn out good. |
Well, at the Moment I Can't get any inspiration.... I know you lot don't want to give away idea's, so ill keep my mouth shut. Another good luck to all future participants that read these comments!
|

Zone, you do realise accepting the first people to apply for judges is possibly the most stupid thing you could do right? Did you even give them a test?

Perhaps I should've thought otherwise to what I thought when I allowed you to host this contest. If you don't consider what you have to comprehend when hosting a contest along with having judges then perhaps you shouldn't be hosting the contest. Don't let just anyone become a judge. Only those you see who can give out decent comments on artwork. Otherwise you shall be deprived of any judges and be forced to host the contest on your own, which isn't something I'd really take any pleasure to enforce upon you. ;/

Allstories and Signomi are right ya know.
I fore-see a repeat of september's contest >.< |
Quote:
You should choose your judges wisely |
No! Not another September! AARRGGHH!!!!! Somebody Do Something! And Zone, could you PM me a Test? I would quite like to have a go...
|
Plus, we already had a season-themed contest, and no one went to great lengths to adhere to the theme then either. We need to stop using such vague, retarded themes that people construe to fit their pixel art, instead of just making the pixel art go along with the theme in the first place.
|
How about 'Popular Disney Charachters?' That hasn't been done before as far as i know...
|
Okay, I'll completely change everything. New judges, new theme. The judges didn't do too well in the tests I had, so I'll get rid of them.
The new theme: Arcade games from the 80's. Is that good enough for you, or is it too broad? The current judges: Me. PM me to become a judge. |
Maneachicken's entry isn't pixel art. This is retarded.
|
i am with Allstories on this
that is no pixel art come on ppl please get with the program |

Hello...To keep my Dignity Intact, Stop Flaming me, and don't call me retarded. I swear that there is a rule against that. and that is my First ever Pixel art. an isn't the definition of Pixel Art: art drawn using pixels? and sorry, i didn't realise that space invaders was 1978.
Oh, and a little encorougement doesn't hurt...and yes, my entry is crap...maybe because its my first EVER pixel art, give me some grief! |

:paranoid: |

I think that age thing was meant to be sarcastic. anyway, is anyone going to give me constructive critisicm as well an enu? instead of, This is Retarded, its not even pixel art...
encorougement wouldn't hurt either...so lay off me for a bit please... |

This disscution thread is turing into a flame war. Just over a pixel art entry? come on! I meen it's just art. art...0_0
|
Zone, that is actually my own space invader sprite. each square is 8x8. I did make it myself, and i'll kindly Improve my entry if necessary, but i can't see how a 80's game sprite is mean't to have shading when it is 2D...
|
Ok, everyone. STOP the controversy and CALM DOWN. There's no need to be insolent for any reason. Atleast tell him what may be wrong with his entry so he may edit it to appropriate standards. Meanwhile refrain from anymore arguements.
|
I agree. If there's an entry you dislike, just give some constructive criticism to the author and then move on.
|
Me too. I just hope the contest entrys don't bring up anymore arguments.
|
So any advice anyone? If not Zone, give me the Judge test through PM, but i doubt ive prooved that im any good. But, just becasue i can't pixel art doesn't mean im no good at judging it...So any CC?
|
I'm not using the test. I have other ways of evaluating people who want to be judges.
|
Oh...so i guess im not in...sigh...
|
Uh... I don't see how Maneachicken's entry is not pixel art. Looks like pixel art to me. Where are you seeing anti-alias or signs of it having been drawn with tools?
|
I drew the thing on MS Paint using loads of shades of Yellow, and i even drew the Space invader Myself! I would like to know the definition of Pixel Art!
|
Pixel art = art created on the pixel level (drawing one pixel at a time or at least cleaning up one pixel at a time).
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_art
It's obvious that you didn't edit anything on the pixel level. You created Pacman with the circle tool, and the space invader, whether you made it or not, is just a bunch of bloody squares. Pacman's expression and the question mark are just a bunch of ugly scribbles which you clearly made no attempt whatsoever to clean up, and the text was created with the text tool. There's nothing there that you actually created on the pixel level that can actually be called art. Pixel art is NOT just drawing while zoomed in. |
Hey what about shadow raquazza. how is that from the 80's. And he did not make those chao unless he is this guy http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5362/chaoamy7bf.gif
none of the chao are his. all he did was the backround |
Quote:
just finished my spring entry to see the theme changed ¬¬ |
Quote:
Shadow Rayquaza, your entry is disqualified for not being based on an arcade game from the 80's and for just being a compilation of stolen sprites. Even the background of it is stolen, you can still see the credit tags. |
Shadow Rayquaza: Do NOT use material in your entries that belong to other people. Everything in your entry has to be your OWN work. And your entry must be applicable to the theme. So therefore your entry has been disqualified.
|
Quote:
While the question mark looks jagged and rather ugly, Pacman's mouth is clearly either drawn pixel by pixel or at least cleaned up, because if you zoom in, you can see that all the 'lines' of pixels that make up the mouth are joined at the corners, but never by two pixels one above the other. When you just draw freehand with the Pencil tool, the outcome never looks like that. |
Quote:
|
The mouth's odd curvature is indicative of poor use of the curved line tool. |
Hmm, you obviously seem to have done this as Pixelart, well at least it seems that way, and the part of being from the 80s game is correct, not sure if its an Arcade game though, but otherwise i see no problems, except it was called "Duck Hunt", and not "Duck Hunter", okay?
|
Kakashi...can you please STOP posting non entries in the entry thread? You did that once in the other one, I expect you not to do so again.
|
+blinks+ I'm a judge, so i was just stating stuff >.>, i can't do entrys if i'm a judge can i Sis?
|
I meant you're not allowed to comment in the entry thread, regardless if you're a judge or not. People can only post entries in that thread. Why do you think we have a seperate thread for discussion?
And no, you can't. |
+falls over+ Sue me i saw judge stuff being done once before on the Entry Thread ¬_¬, anyhow that was my mistake...sorry Sis, i think next time i should of asked about that.
|
And so the May contest begins...
|
Yes...so it does...and that was a retorical question Sis, anyway, can we please try to not have anymore of this spam, and fighting, its obskure, and its un-needed, so no more of it, make constructive critisicm, and thats all, and remember all work must be your own, enjoy!
|
Well yes sir Mr. Kakashi Hatake the Mod. Oh wait, your not one. :rollseyes:
None-the-less, good advice though. |
^_~, yeah i've had the experience as a moderator and a administrator so i'm pretty used to backseat modding lol, anyway, now i'm spamming, so yeah, enjoy yourselves ^_^

thanks for all the nice comments yall
it was hard and took me 4 hours to do it and i think i did good btw if you dont know what the real one looked like this is it |
I agree with Esupio, it looks like a big copy & paste job. A more complicated one because of its isometricness, but still just copy & pasting. And recoloring.
|
It's not that it's not pixel art, it's just not that impressive. There's nothing dynamic about it.
|
I was going to say the same thing, if you ask me it looks like he simply used a line tool, and colored in, but thats my opinion.
|
I like G-Man's, shading may look somewhat bad i don't know I can't shade well anyway, but I still like it.
|
Thanks, oh, yeah, the shading on what??
|
Jsut liek in general, i believe i only saw like two colors of green and brown ans such ( for like the buildings and the like) but it looks fine. I can't tell, but did you make the circles by hand or use the circle tool?
|
I did 1/2 of it by hand, then, copied it, flipped it, then, put it on next to the other 1/2 I did.
Wait, which circles? |
i did not use a line tool i did it pixel by pixel
i have seen a lot of ppl use this same thing on a very good pixel art site but w/e it dose not help that one judge dose not like me –_– |
*is wondering what Allstories is brewing up for the contest*
|
Didn't mean it like that, just simple observation.
|
Fire Mario wasn't in any arcade games from the 80's, so I'll have to disqualify Unseen Idiot's current entry.
|
Wait, I didn't see it, what was it? The only Fire Mario I can think of that you could mean is Mario with fireball power, which was introduced in Super Mario Bros in 1985.
|
As much as i hate to agree....i beleive that was true....
|
Quote:
And it seems he reposted it. |
Nah, actually I restored it. I wanted to see feedback from someone else so I'd be certain with what to do with the post.
|
Ehh, I think I kind of regret defending it now, but there's not anything wrong with it theme-wise (It is a JPEG, however).
|
Super Mario Bros. for the NES did come out in the '80s. But, I made Mario entry first. -_-
|
Exactly what i was trying to refer to anyway, the main descision comes down to Zone i guess o.o
|
You're a judge too. So, it's up to you both. Well, when I was first told that he did a Mario entry like mine, I thought you meant with all the dot people and stuff.
