I was thinking, and I decided to make an anual competition here, every year, to decide which was the best pixel of 2007. I think it would be interesting to havea banner in your sig saying "I had the greatest pixel art of 2007"

RULES :

- All pixels you have made in 2007 are able to enter.

- If you didn't finish a great pixel in 2007, you have until february 2 to complete it!

- You can start making a pixel for entry now, we're still in 2007 according to chinese horoscope!

- Up to two entries per person, double chances of winning.

- Everyone on the board will be a judge, this is an open poll, just that instead I'll be counting the votes manually. Voting period starts from february 2 to february 12.

- YOU can vote for yourself if you want. YOU CAN'T, thanks Doomcreator

- EXTREMELY PROHIBITED TO RIP OFF OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK.

- No harrassment in this topic, no blaming other people's work or any offensive language and its variations.

- ONLY PIXELS (no photoshop). If you use other type of program than MS Paint, please clarify it in this topic.

- Your free to use other images as guides.

- You can change yoru entries at any time, so don't worry, you can change it if you change your mind.

Prices :

I want that you people out there choose the prices for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mention, it's more fair if people in general choose the price that they want. Maybe a banner, avatar, sig, I don't know. NO MONEY PRICES, don't get confused people, I'm not trying to motivate any in-game trades.

If you want to make a nice option for a prize, post it here or PM.

um... you do know that money isn't allowed to be traded for anything forum related?
and besides, does the unbalanced trade removal ring a bell?

The forum rules also prohibit the use of money as prize, I mean a price for use in the forum, maybe a banner or something. I 'm totally aware of the rules. I think this clarifies things up.

-Lupin

Hard choice but I'm going to enter this





Also Dev Link here: http://anonjoe.deviantart.com/art/Medievil...racter-61330783

Wow anon joe thats really good

my entry

I will enter Lord Horace.



P.S: My first pixel competition

~Darth Atros~

easy choice

Nice pixels out there guys . I'm gonna add them all, also it will be a bit easier if you sahred the code... but oh well... Thanks for putting the code Anon and Mantanna .

-Lupin

hey, i may update mine abit, just to make it a full person

Your free to, all the times you want, until february 2 00:00 am .

-Lupin

none of mine have a chance against the ones up there but

Pretty nice pixel .
Keep posting your artwork people!

-Lupin

Ahh, I haven't really pixeled anything big in awhile.

I'll just submit this for now.




I guess I should finish this then?

Also, I use photoshop for my pixels now.

Woop i can enter this

Nice start doomcreator. And sweet pixel kingy, I think everyone has improved lots except for me .

Doomcreator : What kind of use, you mean you draw everything in photoshop? or just for adding text or other effects?

EDIT: KK no problem.

-Lupin

I use the 1px tool, layers, and 16x zoom. Occasionally 4px no aa tool.

somehow i just knew kingy would enter burning flesh...

Whats wrong with burning flesh.. part from the smell.

EDIT: My second entry

I think pineapple man has a shot at this. I'll take and add/remove more later.

FFS, Just rebooted my cpu.

Instead of voting, how about you get a judging panel?

And



I might submit my sniper

Because if I choose jduges, it wouldn't be like the people's choice. It's like a president election, democracy. I think it's fairier tha tway, because most people doesn't what dithering or AAing is, so they choose the one they like best, not the techniche.

-Lupin

Well that's kind of the point right?

That's my way of thinking. This is the best artwork, not best techniche applied contest. Your pixels are very nice, I don't know why you complain .

-Lupin

I don't care so much if mine are going to win or not really. I think a Democracy in this case would be better than a lot of people being biased and voting for themselves. Or perhaps even include a score sheet or rubric?

Also: You just contradicted yourself there.

You mean that a good techniche means a good artwork? Ok then, I'll change the rules so people can't vote for themselves. Even if they have multiple accounts, it's against the rules. WHat's biased? english is not my mother language. This is a nice little competition, and I think that we shouldn't rely on judges. If I went for example to a dance and I see this guy that dances so nice, but he loses because another guy who have been dancing horrible executes the uber somersault move of cheesylovers and he gets more points and wins, it would be unfair. I don't know if you understand my logic, it's kidna weird actually.

EDIT: How a scoreboard? To count teh votes? I was going to do that.

-Lupin

If we can submit several then I'm also submitting




and

you're only allowed 2
you have three now

I will only submit the one piece of work I already have done, as that is the only good pixel i have ever completed.

Anyways, does it really matter? I've entered my best piece of artwork ever drawn, and guranteed, i'm gonna get owned. To be honest, i'm not really worried about it anyways

~Hutton~

OIC, in which case forget the one with the pencil.

LOL the pencil one owns... But it's your desicion .

-Lupin

I know I have no chance to win this but, oh well o.0

--------------------













Naw, Just Kidding...o.0




I'll finish...soon...I guess, if this even qualifies o.0

Updated today, so it was mukidp or something? Sorry, I'm to lazy to check your name again, gonna check now.

EDIT: Oh I saw it now, fixed.

-Lupin

Any updates? Seems a bit dead.

~Hutton~

Well... if you guys don't update your pixel how I'm supposed to update? Finish everything by myself ? . Well I hope this doesn't die . Please post updates.

-Lupin

What i meant is more like, when is the judging starting, any more coming in, etc. etc.

I'm impatient! I want to lose already hehe

~Hutton~

Judging starts on febraury 2th, maybe earlier if nobody posts again... or updates. And I need people with ideas for a prize, please I need some ideas =/ .

-Lupin

A price? What do you mean?

Ok, Well i'll give it a try.

Here is my first:


Here is my second:


Lawl...

I uber leet haxxzorz...roxzorz boxzorz..

wow their pretty good you ruined it when you starting saying stuff like haxxzors but anyway thei pretty good

Well at least someone posted their stuff, I'll update soon.

-Lupin

Erravenden and Andyana should win, I Altair + Assassin's Creed and you can tell Erra is a great pixeler with lots of potential.

while he may have potential his pixels are not all that complex.
the shading is fairly simple at that.

my opinions lay in Kingy and Joe

For a prize, why not some pixel trophies.

What about me? I'm 12


Yeah, Andy and Joe will win

I need to get pixeling on some bigger projects.

update, infact it r done.

so yeah, this is my entry eh?

Mmhh pixel trophies, but they must be flawlessly designed. I was also thinking about a sig with the trophy + avvy with the trophy. Nice ideas. Kingy shall win! kingy lovers... anyone? Thanks for posting an update Balmung! Ihope this motivates the rest.
