Yes! Im having the exakt same problem, those cylinders and circels on the side are a bugger. Been looking on the few tutorials on ico that I fond here, and have fondout the basic idea, but a more detailed explination on it would be great.

Well, might acully redo, or not be able to finish by project for this challange, but would be very good to know for future reference.

@Igor K., The rules for this week are "ceddo challenges you to pixel a single isometric household item of your choice, drawn using fantasy/steampunk/sci-fi theme"
I added your compy to your gallery but removed it from challenge entry because you made a literal compmy and not a fantasy/steampunk'sci-fi one, k.
If you can correct this and wish to update it and do so before Sunday night, PM me to let me know and I'll add it back in. Must be before midnight my time. (US-EST)
You can also edit details and re-submit as weekly challenge. Or even make a whole new pixelart :)

@ska, I don't think the soda will quality as a household item :(
Add to your gallery anyhow its real cute :)

Soda not a household item??? HARSH!!!!
 
I'll go out on a limb and say that this site has some eager participants who appear to be continually bashed down by a small group of purists constantly moderating every detail of every entry under the guise of constructive criticism. Yes, it's a "challenge" with rules and guidelines, but sheesh.... if every submission must fit through a tiny doorway of preconception then I guess my experimental involvement with this community is going to be short lived.

Its too bad you feel that way fenstalker.
I will admit that this week's title is very wide in scope. For some reason we thought household item was kinda clear, you know. Obviously we were very wrong.
I suppose if I drove my car into someone's house by accident it would technically be a household item. Or even if say a house has a garage a car would be a household item too.
Would you approve a an isometric pixelart car this week?

PJ IS a community site and this week like every week (has been done before) rules can be ammended a bit if the community overrules or generally feels differently. When members do not get involved, we have to do so. In no way has any bashing happened here this week.

Igor K. - I must advise you to go to google and check out photos of computers made in steampunk themes.. You'd just have to work on your colors on that comp. :)

My work is progressing quite nicely. I'm not gonna show it now, but when it's done.. :)

Still have some shading and coloring to do.  Its supposed to be a phone.  any last minute crits (ie don't bother telling me its sh*t and I ought to re-do the whole thing).  the red panel on the right is where the pipe's and such will go into the wall and hasn't even been line-arted yet.  I had bigger plans for it but didn't start until yesterday, and 2morrows the ol' b-day so I don't want to devote too much time to it.

@Jal...well I've already put forward my case as to why I think this fits the challenge. It is a vague term, and once again the author of the challenge hasn't come here to clear things up...

Anyway, when I submit this I'll submit it to the challenge, if it is deemed "unchallenge worthy" so be it...

Also, if we're complaining about things that don't fit the challenge, technically an electrical outlet would be considered less of an 'item' than a bottle, since usually electrical outlets are fixed to the wall and wouldn't really be considered a seperate object...
Would you approve an isometric pixelart window this week?

(not that I'm saying that Fenstalker's electrical outlet should be removed from the challenge this week...!)

While I'm at it, this is my current revision:

aha, but maybe in steampunk land an outlet would be an item, seeing as how its seperate from the wall?  i don't know, just specurlatin' 

maybe put your soda in a little copper steampunk single bottle cooler?

Skamo, it looks like he is saying drenk meh now ;p

And I have to agree with Jal, I don't believe this is household, and its surely not sci-fi, steam punk or fantasy.

You joined PJ, PJ did NOT join you!
That you have used an IP cloak to become a member can only mean you have previously been banned here ;)

But you do understand sci-fi and fantasy right?

Steam punk
Its some sort of a fantasy form of the industrial revolution, were steampowered machines were introduced. However, in steamPUNK the steam part is very very much overdone, and so you can see a lot of modern items (think computers, airplanes and HOUSEHOLD ITEMS) are drawn or described as they would be running on steam.
Often you see a lot of gold, a lot of wood (and less other metals, no plastic of course)

Example of a steampunk movie (and book): The GOLDEN Compass
If you watch the trailer on http://www.goldencompassmovie.com/ you will surely understand better what I was talking about

Also there is some great art on deviantart:

Search for it yourself too!
