Weerdmeester Masterclass Challenge Streak
Episode 12
Create a standard PJ avatar without any stray pixels. Every single stray counts, also those meant for anti-aliasing/dithering.
However, this is not the end of the challenge. Your avatar picture cannot have a stray head too. You have to include at least two heads on your 64x64 square. We completely don't care if this will be a touching heads selfie with your friend, a rat on your shoulder, you holding a cabbage head, your conjoined twin or you as a two (or more) headed monster. If you can convince us that something has or is a head, it will be ok for this challenge.
You have to use the adl16 palette by adelfaure
Canvas Size - exactly 64x64.
Colors - Max 16.
Transparency - Forbidden.
Animation - Forbidden.
I don't think it holds the same currency as clusters/single pixels do. Especially in this community what with those terms being in Cure's Tutorials and Helm's theory posts.
You are correct. There are so many stray pixel types we are friends with or we need or even love, and some stray pixel types that makes us cringe or get furious. I agree that single pixels / clusters differentiation could be much more intuitive. We just haven't thought about it before. I personally don't even know anymore if wide or narrow understanding of "stray pixels" are both correct or not.
I think the confusion comes from not using the terms "single pixels"/"Clusters"? Stray Pixels implies a pixel that is somehow in the wrong place. Like when I deliver a finished animation to my employers and they tell me there's "stray pixels" in the transparent portions of every other frame :)
This one has a looot https://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/158548.htm
For example: eye highlight, nose holes, dithering on the face, some in the black outline, the last pixel of the smile, and so on...
This doesn't have stray pixels https://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/160572.htm
At least I cannot find any.
I'm a little confused by the 'stray pixels' part?
.Are there any example pictures you can show of the stray pixels description and an example of that same picture without?

Isn't "Orphan pixel" the common term for this?
