Pixel Art Challenge: He-She

News Details


From challenge winner Ahruon comes this week's deceptively simple challenge. Pixel a famous character and make the opposite sex version of it, for examples:

  • Female version of Mario (from Super Mario Bros.)
  • Male version of Lara Croft (from Tomb Raider)
  • Female version of Jack Sparrow (from Pirates of the Caribean)
  • Male version of Tifa (from Final Fantasy 7) etc.
It may be a full sprite, a portrait, a scene, anything, be creative.

Rules:
  • 16 colors max (if used, transparency counts as one color)
  • NO animations
  • Max size of  216x172 pixels (vertical or horizontal)
The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

Man, it figures that the one contest I'm interested in in forever is during the one week I'm too busy to work on one. I can't wait to see the entries, though.

silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/2/2007 7:39:48 PM
thats just wrong, no way i'm even attempting

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 7/2/2007 7:14:42 PM
A character is fine. Why not Big Birdina, or even Queen Kong.

Is this only famous People characters, or can it be animals to, i.e chubaka, simba, snoopy...ect...xD

pixelblink (Level 8 Marshal) at 7/2/2007 12:00:47 PM
it's true, I really do. This sounds like a fun challenge for sure. Hoping I can find some time to do this one.

I cannot wait.  

Kobun (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/2/2007 7:08:00 AM
I am prepared for some very awesome and some very disturbing entries. =)

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 7/2/2007 6:42:25 AM

Genius idea, Ahruon.

This is going to be fun

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) at 7/2/2007 3:26:59 AM
great challenge, but you can make it yourself quite difficult too (like i do most of the times when pixeling a human or animal)...

ScarredShadow (Level 4 Deputy) at 7/2/2007 2:55:42 AM
this is gonna be one heck of a challenge!

jamon (Level 8 Marshal) at 7/2/2007 2:31:51 AM

pmprog (Level 4 Murderer) at 7/2/2007 1:12:41 AM

sedgemonkey (Level 10 Master Sniper) at 7/2/2007 1:08:42 AM
