The theme of this weeks Pixel of the week is an icon. You may pixel anything which represents the place from which you come, or, perhaps an important historic event. For example, you could choose to pixel a symbolic building/monument, or even a representation of what your country, city or town means to the world e.g. it could be that a world changing invention was created there.

Restrictions:

Maximum dimensions of 120x120

Maximum 20 colours

Animation Permitted


*Try and tell as many people as possible about this, so we can boost entry numbers, lets aim for at least 6 entries.

As an incentive, I will be making pixel awards for the winners!

Good luck to all participants.

Gonna give this a go

So it can be like the empire state building or effiel tower?

Sounds good, ill give it a go as well

Round where I live it's all castles and countryside.

I guess I'll do the UK as a whole.

Finally a decent theme Ill give this a go for sure.

That is correct

Done mine


What better to represent yorkshire

i'm making mine!!

Heres mine



woot go NZ!!

(Its a Maori tiki if u don't know what it is)

Heres mine. It's better than last weeks.

It's from my country New Zealand/Aeoteroa its the Maori traditional weopon the Taiaha. they crack peoples head open.

Go NZ

sorry i did transparency wrong it desnt have a black out line

I'm going to submit, so give me about 2 days to get it done, i have to start getting ready for school and soccer so i may not have too much time.

I'll be entering this, I'm currently working on my entry. I'm currently up to 17 colours, I doubt I'll go more than that.

EDIT OFFTOPIC: Morfius, I just realised your avatar is a smiley face.

EDIT ONTOPIC: Finished!

I can't think of a larger stereotype than British people drinking tea, so I made some tea.

Seems I'm progressing with my methods of shading. Well, who's to say I'm progressing into something better?
Next PotW I might try AAing.
It's probably going to end badly though.



I counted 19 colours, by the way.

D: i just noticed cause u said that, always though it was just some artistic random blocks nice

workin on mine atm, will be done in like... 15min maybe, i hate dithering D:




EDIT: Done

D full is a symbol of rs.. for the most part anyway

You come from RuneScape?

that. read it more.

My entry.

Even though the mask is fictional, it represents an idea, and ideas never die.

Looks like the mask from V for Vendetta.

EDIT: I just realised it probably was supposed to be.

i believe kingy is suporting anon's iconic guy fawkes mask and therefore has an bird butt hair afro suit blocking haboo pool close



but seriously it looks a little odd

Some nice entries this time, lets try and hit the target of 6 entries, then i'll close this.

I've been really busy, so haven't yet got round to making pixel awards. I was thinking that a good idea would be to set the next POTW competition as making pixel awards for future winners.

almost done with mine- I'll edit this when I finish.



Transparent one.


The actual art is within size limitations. 19 colours I think.

Stylized "Icy Touch" icon.

Verrrry nice.

Very nice, from where does this hail?

I gunna go out on a limb here and say WoW??

Yeah, even if isn't part of my rotation.

D: if balmugs WoW gets in my rs should too

For the sake of misquotation. He said anything. Specifically an Icon, so I imagine your Dragon Helm would qualify just as much as a WoW spell icon.

"You may pixel anything which represents the place from which you come" .....????

Unless you live in a virtual reality, then it appears you have not followed the guidelines.

Morfius, your signature is pwn
Loving the John Smiths entry, there's some really nice work here!

Your guide lines sounded quite loose; Specifically due to the word "perhaps". The first sentence also simply says "Icon".
So, if you specifically wanted something only based on place of residence or, in reference to a historical event, you could have worded your post different.
Either way, the deadline is passed and if Mine and Mike's pieces do meet the requirements, then so be it- I'll simply enter the next competition.

Morfius uhh

Your put "For Example" unless you want it to be changed.

But to be honest you made it sound like there was no guideline to the icon.

when is this finishing?

This really needs to be closed.

Saying 'You may leave' is a polite way of saying 'Piss off'

'You may pixel anything which represents the place from which you come' is a polite way of saying 'You must pixel anything which represents blah blah blah'


Also, morfius hasn't been active since the 12th.

If he takes to much longer some one else should open the voting.

EDIT: ok hes taken long enough i'm going to open voting tomnmorow if anyone thinks I shouldn't speak now.
