Hello all, Florian speaking.
Let me introduce to you first
Name: Florian
Age: 18
Interested in: Pixel art 'nd Photoshop
Country: The netherlands
Site language: English

Oke the following idea camed up

- Ultimate design 'nd Pixelaters want to compeet each other in a competition. We both make 2 village's. At the end of the summer holiday will get our village's together and watermark it then some pro pixelartists will vote for them.

We are looking for young designers because its a great opportunity for them to learn 2 handle pixels as quick as posible. The idea is building a village compleet from pixels. You can animated them if you want. Will build an 2000x2000 BG and create pixelt grass. You can design youre own building,people,shops etc etc etc.
Here is an example:




Again: This is an oppotunity for young designers to pick up pixels as quick as posible.

Note: This is not obligatorily 'nd for this straight thing. Please don't leave Pixel joint forum cauze they are really awesome!!!!  

Take it a shot :)

Kind regards,

You're best Friend,
Florian Check it please

Very nice site layout and great idea to throw in pixel art in a Photoshop based site.

@Souly, I think he means to build a village over a period of time which both improves your skills as well as teaches others how to make pixel art using Photoshop. Settings, tips, tools, techniques, etc. The emphasis being on Photoshop a s a tool :?

yeah thanks alot of explaining  So any applies ?

Its a competition  Please replie if you want to get in

@ ensellitis oh oke didn't know that :) But like jalonso said

anyone?

that would be good:) And yeah a few things on our site don't work. Won't be a problem and will be fixed as soon as possible. We have all time to 1 august 2006. But it would be grate if we started with a Background for our village. And thanks for the applie :) Really appreciate it

This is so popular! You can hear the enthusiasm go "Chirp, chirp!"

 

...or is that something else?

You mean the fact that the banner for the pixel art battle has nothing whatsoever to do with pixel art? Yes. Haha.

The cheek.

spam

Well florian would sudgest you make a pixel art themed banner and then start your part of the city. I guess [osting anything here that is nptr pixel art would e like putting an orange in a banana vendor's cart.

What i was offiring advice......

Sign with a Skull on it.. I mean.. what else would I put on it?

A few mins and 10 colours.. marvel at it.

shark why are you flaming me on this topic? You should be happy I registerd AND ask for help AND this is a great way for BEGINNERS.

final note: If you really wan't to flame everyone off, go make youre own flaming forum.

Shark, maybe his English isn't that good.
His site is mostly about Photoshop and its possibilities, uses and tools. One these is pixel art, therefore the sig and graphics do not need to be made using pixelart. He wants to have a section dedicated to pixelart when using photoshop which is very original because no one else has included the capabilities of Photoshop for pixelart. He means to show these tips and tutorials by makng a collab where members and others supply examples that are combined collab style into a village, rather than a sample gallery, very original.

Like I said in my first post of this topic: Pixelaters is not finished yet and does not have ''lots of'' people with the quality to build their own citty. Thats why we have chosen 2 months of building time. If you can understand we can fall back for help if something goes wrong or if we have problems making something in our citty. And this is a great forum with lots of pro's were youre and our beginners can learn alot from making a citty.  

I understand now, so we'll be working on your team.

On the art side of things: wouldnt it be easier to make the template
square so it tiles better?

Post an example?

 

 

oke like an psd file ?

I changed harddrives and it says I need to register it wtf.

Florian here is a block template to get you going  They can be tiled as things get added. People can use the entire area within the tile so cars and things can be placed on the street as long as they don't go outside the tile. I'll make you the beach tile in a couple of days too.



Also people for scale since some people have trouble with that. I also included the lamposts so that your city has a consistent look to it. A car too.



The last thing is my block which is still a WIP.

Nice work jalonso, looks great.

florian, this is my submission for your city. I don't know wether you will place it over the templete or as a whole tile :/ post what you prefer here and I'll update if needed.

i modified jalonso's car a little bit because some of it was bothering me.
