Oh...so i guess im not in...sigh...

Dragonfree May 6th, 2006 1:01 PM

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?

Chizzy May 6th, 2006 1:02 PM

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!

Dragonfree May 6th, 2006 1:06 PM

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.

Sorry about that. >_>

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.

Signomi May 7th, 2006 3:13 AM

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.

So basically you want to disqualify it on basis of quality, not on basis of not being pixel art.

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.

Megaman? It's Pac-Man. And who cares about the mouth possibly being made while zoomed in, it still looks horrible and took about 30 minutes to make.

Allstories May 7th, 2006 5:16 AM

The mouth's odd curvature is indicative of poor use of the curved line tool.

Kurosaki Ichigo May 7th, 2006 6:08 AM

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?

Signomi May 7th, 2006 6:12 AM

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.

Kurosaki Ichigo May 7th, 2006 6:15 AM

+blinks+ I'm a judge, so i was just stating stuff >.>, i can't do entrys if i'm a judge can i Sis?

Signomi May 7th, 2006 6:16 AM

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.

Kurosaki Ichigo May 7th, 2006 6:18 AM

+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.

Lokhlan May 7th, 2006 6:51 AM

And so the May contest begins...

Kurosaki Ichigo May 7th, 2006 6:58 AM

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!

Lokhlan May 7th, 2006 7:12 AM

Well yes sir Mr. Kakashi Hatake the Mod. Oh wait, your not one. :rollseyes:
None-the-less, good advice though.

Kurosaki Ichigo May 7th, 2006 7:14 AM
