Pixel Joint Forum: CHALLENGE 2/27/2012: Seeing Diamonds

Message

This challenge seems to lend itself well to portraits, all looking really good, in particular I like -

Voltali obscur and the little guy in the wagon cart
Nevercreature and all the facey blobs
orange08, that candle and butterfly reminds me of the spectrum, in a good way
kantankerousmind, could be general zod in the phantom zone, which was my original idea.
bgraybr, I like the isometric idea.
failureboy, the heraldry is also nice.

So far I have - 

Very much WIP and I think I may need to go through the rookie tutorials (edit - again) to make this good enough to call finished.

	This is my first challenge entry and already so many entries! The diamond shape seems like a challenge itself, the first thing that came to mind was stain glass window, here it is so far.

	I have to say, Grain, that since you've been collaborating with the other members of PJ, your art style has really flourished past that of elaborate placement of triangles. Congratulations on working hard to develop your own sense of style, and being uniquely inspired by the world and it's people to create shocking, mainly weird-looking (:P), works of art.

	Got this today (start of cave L in BoulderDash II): The anim is going too fast and i'll try to add glow around diamonds... Making an animation is a bore, otherwise a run through the whole level would have been cool. Not very good, but was fun to do (8x8 tiles is really tiny) and might lead me to level 2 (hi FailureBoy ;p )... C&C welcome. @iMoose: your diamond shine is so much better!

	Bah. Tough to decide. Please give some input. Been working on the background details and trying to tweak. I like the diamond shapes but it blurs the animals. Blargh!

	@failureboy: I like the second one myself. The first is a bit boring, the third is a bit busy, and the fourth reminds me too much of default "transparent" backgrounds in some software. Edited by cure - 03 March 2012 at 12:02pm

	Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll probably do a combination of 2 & 3. @cure, lol I didn't even think about the similarity to the default BG. Funny.

	What I have for my second entry thus far: Inspired by this quote from Friendly in Joe Abercrombie's novel 'Best Served Cold': The dice came up two and one. Three years ago today, Sajaam bought Friendly’s freedom from Safety. Three years he had been homeless. He had followed three people, two men and one woman, all across Styria and back. In that time, the place he had hated least was the Thousand Swords, and not just because it had a number in its name, though that was, of course, a good start. I'm thinking of having the BG to show a silhouette of three guys (one being Friendly) and a girl walking away from a prison.
	The world is but a shadow of emotion, cast in shades of grey.
