CHALLENGE AWARDS

The Isoamerican 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!

Well, previews should be cropped parts of the detail file, or at least related to the detail file. So I guess if you really wanted to you could snazz up the preview with animation.

Love the topic, but isometric is really not my style :/ Maybe i'll give it a try though

Does the rule "Only new pixels allowed." include pallettes or I can use somebodys pallette (of course with permission)?

100x100 for the  SMALL image (icon). Any size for the actual image.
Started mine, this will take a while.

palette by mrmo tarius
i hope it fits challenge topic

nobody owns colors, you can use it

I'm working in this baby.

hope I finish it

WIP, I am having trouble with lights and shading, tips and comments are welcome

ooh I ahve competition. You'll keep me on my toes?

@ SturmgewehrKreuz , I think that canvas is too big. It would need a lot of detailing to be done on time and there is little time left. Think smaller canvas.

You might find something like imgur.com a better imagehost that ImageShack for pixelart so that when members click to zoom it doesn't go to imageshack and their crazy zoom/blur madness.

@Bokeblender: is the temple supposed to be off-centered like that?

What you guys think about this? (SturmgewehrKreuz I got your post)

@bokeblender: wall blocks remind me of minecraft.:)

@Airstyle: nice one!it looks all right now than your previous work.

everyone: think of apocalypto!

@Hiroshi_CO: Well, first, you'll have to post the picture correctly. :P Try imgur; they work well, and they give you the code to add to your forum posts when you click on the picture.

Same here :S. I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish on time, I had tons of ideas I wanted to add to my pyramid :<...
