CHALLENGE AWARDS

The Remote Village pixel art challenge is complete and we have three new champions. This week's challenge awards go to the following pieces:



Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

I'm not op, but it seems pretty self explanatory - a village implies multiples families are living there, so there will probably be at least 3+ buildings (though I'd say start at 5). "Village" also means there's a limit, though, so keep it small, no more than 20 maybe if it's REALLY remote.

For your other question, however "remote" it needs to be to make the word meaningful. This is going to mean distant shots since you can't discern a location's remoteness up close (remote, in this case, also meaning isolated. As with anything else, when in doubt, Google. I just did the Google images search of "remote village," and the bulk of them are shots of clusters of houses in the middle of nowhere.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking :)

I've already posted it in the main page. Can it be a fantasy (remote)village?

WIP....!

this is my sketch. it's a remote village from the future

Remote RPG village still lost in the 1980's.  Made using the NES' color palette.

Point and click game mockup in a remote using snes colour palette

I hope I will have time to finish it

I started by considering just what makes the village remote. I had various ideas, but went with the old "it's super high up" thing. Buildings are just starting to be placed, so it's not quite a village yet. The background will be transparent.

I haven't done pixel art in forever. I just started a little while ago and I probably need to finish this today because I'm taking my computer to the apple store to hopefully get the display or whatever is scrambling my screen fixed and I don't know how long it'll take.

Cure: Yeah I was thinking of doing a different piece probably just upload it as a normal piece

I started to think the village part of the challenge wasn't being meet because of only having 3 houses in his finished piece. According to wiki, a village's population ranges from "a few hundred to a few thousand (sometimes tens of thousands)." I don't think Peytonisgreat can be penalized because a majority of the submitted pieces have a small structure count. I suppose size/structure count shouldn't matter because the worlds population could live/fit in texes.

Kaze> Strange perspective but I love your idea, it will be fun and original. ;)

My WIP tonight :



I don't know what I can make with the house on the foreground but ... i will do my best. :c

@Salomon: Thanks :) I love your colors and line style, good luck for your foreground !

@Losm: You could to put some shading to give them a better texture :)

A little update, I tried to do some roc's texture but it's not finished yet...

@Losm: I suggest darkening that blue. And I personally think it looks better if if the clouds/smoke are 1 pure color and not dithered. Keep at it its looking pretty spiffy.

No, it's nice, juste a different style. ^^
So that is my (little) WIP tonight :



I hope I will can finish it tomorrow.
But I don't like the house on the foreground ... :/

The AA'ing is very easy on the eyes
Nicely done.
