Pixel Art Challenge: Top Ten


icon

Make a top ten list based on a subject matter of your choosing and represent those things in the form of a piece of pixel art. Just make sure it's clear what your list is, what items are in your list and what order they are in (everything should have a number between 1 and 10). You can add these details in your description if you like.

The way you present your top ten is up to you; so you could scatter your top ten around a large canvas or maybe animate it in the form of a countdown. Just keep in mind that even though the canvas size and colour count are unrestricted, you needn't go overboard.

A few possible ideas to get you started:

  • Your top ten movies of last year.
  • Your top ten favourite foods.
  • Your top ten IKEA products that contain an umlaut it their name.
***CHALLENGE UPDATE***

Your list may now include a minimum of 3 items and a maximum of 10.

Canvas size - Unrestricted
Colours - Unrestricted.
Transparency - Optional.
Animation - Optional.



The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

Noo, I was just kidding.

Also, I had another idea (and posted) =)

I've got a good idea, neat sketch but no time :( Being stuck in the Finnish military service sucks once again.

Go for it! I was just passing out ideas. =)


user
EdJr (Level 9 Nidan) @ 1/27/2011 05:19

Hey, this was my idea! XD

Anyway, you certainly can do something much better than me. =)

Favorite pixeljoint artists?! (avatars or certain artworks)

Thank god it was switched to top 3, I might try it out now if I can find time away from work and school. :)

I want so badly to do my favourite fashion houses but it seems unlikely that I will suddenly spout the motivation to make that happen, even I just narrow it to the top three. Which is easiest really. Once I get past Rodarte, McQueen, and Garcons I suddenly feel no passion.

favorite animals, favorite biblical characters, favorite aliens from fiction, favorite warriors, favorite mythological figures, favorite monsters...

definitely one of the more open-ended challenges

 I've got an idea. I'm doing to ten. Want to see what you guys come up with first.

 @theguy

Good musicians from the 2000's? haha you're joking =D


user
theguy (Level 6 Hitman) @ 1/24/2011 08:49

I'll pick one from each era, it wouldn't really be a top 3 though, is that still ok?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just picking my top 3.

@skamocore: Thanks for the prompt edit to the rules! I really appreciate it!

 If I did that it would probably make it easier to choose, but then I'd be forced to draw bands, and honestly, this is already hard enough drawing one person per place xD

By not drawing bands my entry might not be entirely accurate as to what I really like, but it should be close enough.

 

I think you should probably keep it down to one list too. Three entries give you less chances of winning (or winning all three places like cure recently did, but that's pretty rare) xD


user

Perhaps It would be best to create three different entries then.


user
theguy (Level 6 Hitman) @ 1/24/2011 08:14

Can we do categories? Like I'm doing musicians, but I have a very wide taste, so I would like to do a top 3 from 3 era's, 60's-70's, 80's-90's and 2000's. Making it so I would pixel my top 9 musicians overall.


user
Reo (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 1/24/2011 08:05

Good choice imo, ten was a bit overwhelming.


user
skamocore (Level 11 Dolphin) @ 1/24/2011 07:51

Alright, I have updated the rules.


user
ellie-is (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 1/24/2011 07:44

 Hope you don't mind but I will be stealing your idea, okay.


user
theguy (Level 6 Hitman) @ 1/24/2011 06:01

Ah coooooool. Musician's it is. I do agree though, top 3 would be better.


user
EdJr (Level 9 Nidan) @ 1/24/2011 04:59

Great idea! Now I'll kill some of my brain cells and imagine what I can do.


user
skamocore (Level 11 Dolphin) @ 1/24/2011 03:24

@SpaceSalmon - You can make an entry about it. I'd be interested in hearing what the other 9 are :P


user
TheManuz (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 1/24/2011 03:18

Sorry but i don't see the point of making ten pieces.

Making a top three would be the same thing, but give users more time to do things better.


user
SpaceSalmon (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/24/2011 03:12

In my top ten worst challanges this would get high on the list.
