    January Pixel Art Contest - PC Emblems

    Hopefully this one won't fall flat, haha.

    So anyways, I'm sure most of you are aware of the recently introduced emblems system PC has in place. Emblems can be awarded for a variety of things, and so I figured that the winners of these Pixel Art Contests should receive one in recognition of their creative abilities. I'll definitely award these retroactively to some degree.

    But yeah, I'm a lazy bastard, so the contest is that you design the emblem to be used \o/

    Requirements: 80x80 pixels limit (not my limit it's the emblem sizes soz), and that's about it.
    Though... If you want to create a larger piece I guess I could let it be, but it'd just have to be shrunk down to size, ruining the work. Up to you I suppose.
    Theme: Pixel art in general, but Pokémon or maybe tools of the trade could be considered as well considering that this is a Pokémon forum and you're all pixel artists.

    Any discussion can go into the Spriters Showcase/Discussion thread k? k.

    I hope you all participate and make this contest a successful one! :)

  • Well, I saw these and thought I'd go more for the "Pixel Art" angle than the "Pokemon-related thing that just happens to be sprited" angle. So I thought I'd enter this:

    Edited.

    I tried out a secondary layer of shading, but it totally ruined it. I might try it again later if get around to it... assuming we can edit our entries. If not, oh well. XD *runs off*

  • You know how some people put their pallette in the corner of their work? It's supposed to be like that. I was considering taking it out, I'm not liking it as much as I originally thought I would :\

    I dunno if this counts as "discussion", but since you asked here I assume it's ok to reply XD

    Well yeah but that's only done on WIP's so people can see all the colours on the pallete.
    This way it becomes easier for people to tell what they think about the pallete so you can make changes to it.
    But it's not something you should leave on the finished piece.
    It's a 'tool', if you must.

    That's what I was going for :3
