CHALLENGE: Hidden in GeographyUse these simplified shapes of France and Sweden to create something using either Manupix's or Noet's award winning palettes.
In the red corner, we have Manupix's palette, from France. ![]() ![]() And over in the blue corner we have Noet's palette, from Sweden. ![]() ![]() Special thanks to Jinn for the idea of using country shapes as a pixel art canvas. Here are two examples to illustrate the idea.
Canvas Size - Use one of the templates above. You may rotate or flip the canvases as long as you don't distort any pixels while transforming the shape ie. you need to just stick to rotating at 90 or 180 degree angles. Colours - Max 17. Use only colours from your country's palette shown above (plus transparency). So, if you pick Manupix/France, use the first palette; if you pick Noet/Sweden, use the second palette. No palette swapping. Transparency - Required. Must only be used outside your chosen country's shape. Animation - Optional.

And which of the two of Sasuke's choices did you say "yup" to? |

My first time using a restricted palette. I'm so horribly lost. :/ But I really want to learn to use palettes better, so I'm trying to tackle it as best I can.

i couldnt help it--when i looked at the shape of france i saw this huge guy with his 50-th haircurl and the hillariously small feet.. either needs to go pee (therefore holding his belt) or trying to make a fancy dance pose ;)
He's just roughly colored to lock the shapes. Dont know if i have the time to finish him, but for the sake of it.. posted ^.- and hopefully noone in france feels insulted.. as this version doesnt make the country look very heroic... =) ![]() |

Perhaps a swirling cloud effect? It'll be small, but at least it'll fill the spot.

I think incorporate the green into the design, maybe armour on his shoulder and an axe/weapon on his back for the green on the right.
All Looking good so far, I wanna do something for this challenge but, I don't think I'll have time. This could be a running theme going through all the countries. |

@ dpixel:
how about "corals" lots forms of them have tones from orange to red. And it would fit the water-theme u started. Not to mention they'd prolly offer good transitions to the other adjacent colors as of their colorvaration and shapes. Speaking of the shapes those might also be usefull to fill the uneven free spaces / the country shape. f.x. > ![]() Edited by codewarrior - 22 November 2011 at 3:13pm |

Thanks guys. That's a pretty good idea. Whether I can pull it off is another story (At least making it look like coral). *Off to do some research*

@Kravvon - Thanks for the complement, but it's not easy for me at all.
Corral Added: ![]() It seems to look better at 2X. Still working at it though. |

Well, still VERY rough above and below the head, but here's my WIP. hoping to actually finish it sometime. I dont enter enough of these challenges (this will be my 2nd, and ive been here a while lol)
![]() Darn that palette for having no reds though. I'm going to have a heck of a time making that read as a giant leg of meat with a bite in it. |
