J_Z-
I like your idea..


I suppose because it is so eerily similar to mine!  Mine should have more of a humorous twist though.  Great work... hope I finish in time.

J_Z, please post a WIP? I love it, but even .jpeg extensions can only add so many colors to a picture. D:

This is what I got so far.



This is dad, kinda pissed off that he has to do this every time the kid loses a tooth.

Why do I have doubts that you made this? *looks at ball and compares to other elements*

This is also a drawing style from a cartoon for children, I'm very sure it is.
The cartoon si about a boy (the one in the bed) getting scared all the time, I remember those eyes, that style.

Just read your second post, I think you confirmed it yourself.

The color count doesn't make sense either...it's like 125.

If Elk says there's an issue...there just might be... I agree that the ball looks very different from the rest - texture wise etc... but I don't like to even contemplate that someone would do such a thing so I'm reserving judgement...benefit of the doubt...
 
Please let this not be a malicious attempt at trying to post something that is not pixelworthy! 
 
Some of us here are working our butts off to try and meet the standards and things like these are very demoralising...makes us look like idiots for even trying and wanting to learn..

I just went back and re-read all of the posts.  My opinion is that if J_Z had really drawn that he wouldn't have gotten so angry about it.  He would have just posted some WIP and put an end to the questions.
It does suck that some people find the need to cheat.  I completely suck at pixel art but I have fun doing it, and hope I will get better with practice.
 
Peace-

Hear! Hear! 

My pixel art sucks the big hairy one!  I admit this and every time I post something i can't wait to hear what input there is so I can get better at this - It's amasing to be able to share one's ideas and concepts and be guided by those with experience and insight. 
 
 Heck I've only just started doing this so I invite all the help I can get with open arms - why do some people need to fall in trying to prove something!?

Celri,  Your pixel art doesn't suck at all especially for being new on here.  You could be more help to others than you know.  Heck, yours are better than mine and I've been here for a while and spend way too much time at it...lol

I like your take on this.  Are you going to make the background transparent?

Still a bit rough at some points, hopefully I can fix it when I'm colouring.

8 colours so far. I'm really not used to limitting my palette, this is goign to be hard for me. XD



Hopefully you can tell she has no mouth and those are stitches. That's why she likes teeth so much. :3

Working steadily at it..

Now the tooth fairy doesn't look like she fits in the picture! D:


[NotlikeTheOther]

He's lookin' great! Some lines need to be evened out, but overall it's coming along nice.

You're intending to shade it, right?

I hope you have enough time to do a whole comic. :3

@ Angel of The Great...

I wasn't sure about shading because it is drawn very "cartoony".   Maybe this is not good material for pixel art??  Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

You dont need to shade as long as your AA is awesome.

I dont see any AA there.

@NotlikeTheOther You could try a more realistic way of making cartoons shading it, or at least try to make some kind of difference between the original. Also you can make a great AAing, as lucas said.

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this type of question. I submitted my Tooth Fairy entry 3 days ago and it says that it is still awaiting approval. Is that normal? Should I resubmit? Thank you for your time. The WIP's look amazing btw.

Its in now, sorry about the delay. You could fix up some of the black lineart,
Anyhoo, pieces are added all the time and sometimes pieces get buried in the queue. The preview didn't say 'challenge' so it just got overlooked. Not that previews have to say challenge but you know, it didn't say 'click me'. Best of luck.

I feel I'm in a similar situation to TropicalSnowcone -- I'm new around here, and submitted a piece to the challenge earlier today, but it hasn't shown up yet. The clock is getting a little close to zero, so I thought I'd pop in here and ask about it!

Anything I need to do that I missed, because upload it with the 'Challenge!' box checked?

I don't recall seeing any pieces by you submitted earlier today (in fact your gallery seems to have nothing in it!)...Are you 100% sure you submitted it correctly?

I won't claim to be 100% sure of much! Of this, certainly not. I'll try re-submitting it now; maybe something wigged out before.

(The form is auto completing this time -- I definitely did it before!)
Ok; well, I don't know what happened, but it's in the gallery now, awaiting approval. Guess the flub's something on my end. Tomorrow, I'll have to give my router a stern talking to. :D

Not to be funny or anything - but I submitted mine a while back as well - followed the usual procedure etc - still awaiting approval. 
 
If there are any issues with it I was not made aware of it in the forum as....welll it must've been so horrible no one wanted to comment on it so I took it out (you'll see messages with little x's in them where they used to be)
 
I worked very hard on that piece and - admittedly I didn't have enough time to finish the way I wanted it too - but I think it at least deserves to be included in the challenge even if it won't come close to the other seriously cool entries (wow there's amazing stuff out there!)
 
... does any one know why it's still in the queue?
 
Never mind - just went on - Thanks guys...I don't know HOW we are going to vote!!!!!!!!!  THere's seriously no more than 3 votes available???
