Pixel Art Challenge: Happy News Year


icon

Have you ever wondered where news icons come from? Whenever a news post (other than these standard weekly challenge posts) gets posted, it's given an icon pulled from the works in the pixeljoint gallery. You can even click the icon to see the artists gallery!

The only requirement is that the piece is exactly 50x50 pixels big. Since it's an unusal size, there are only so many works to pull from, so here is your chance to have your work featured on a future newspost!

Your challenge is to create an icon that can be used for future news posts. Choose one of the following themes:

  • Monthly top art
  • Top Commenter & Faves
  • Palette contest
  • ISO Collab
  • Group picture/ other collab project
  • Pixelween
  • Secret Santa
  • Generic Anouncement

It is up to you to interpret the theme however you wish. Just remember to give your entry a relevant title so the mods can find it when searching for icons!

Canvas size: Exactly 50x50.

Colours: Max 32.

Transparency: Encoraged, but optional.

Animation: Optional.



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