Made this template using L-shaped clusters in case anyone is interessted.
![]() Warning, the "grid" is highly irregular. ![]() This more or less accidently happened during the process, will probaply be my "backup piece" in case I don't get a decent Idea. |

@Voltali obscur: Cool idea... Some diamonds maybe in the back.
@mrmo: superb as usual! @Nevercreature: it's crowded in here, nice. @9_6: 3 colors=9-6, and wow! When seeing the theme i wanted to join in and try to make a boulderdash remix. So i'm currently working with 8x8 tiles, here's a small preview. I'll try to have the diamonds glow on the surrounding tiles... The layout is same as level 3 on the commodore 64.

@kantankerous mind
Looks nice, almost as if it was going to be an entry in the previous challenge (noise), cuz the guy is holding his ears. ![]() I've changed around a few things, how's it look? :) 11 colors including the purple background around the diamond. |

My first attempt using diamond (cross) pixels and using 4 colours:
![]() I used this template: ![]() Kind of really bad. Can anyone even mildly recognize what is portrayed? Honestly I'm not even going to submit it because it's horrible. @orange08 - Your idea of diamond pixels is way better, may give that a go instead. |

Well here's something.
![]() I struggled with the rocks, namely giving them a good texture and getting depth between the foreground and background ones. The whole thing is a little flat, actually. I think I'll try again :| How might I improve this one? Oh and I used this palette, with a few colors omitted to fit the challenge: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12795 |

VERY WIP. So ignore the fail colors. I just wanted to share my idea lol. It's a Minecraft cave with a diamond block at the center. Will probably add Steve and a creeper.
I decided not to use evenly sized blocks because I felt it limited the shape of the room too much, and there's not much space. ![]() Later: got some colors, added a torch and tried to shade it so that it looks shrouded in darkness. I need to move the torch and have another go at it, but now I'm off to bed (lava was replaced by water so no light from that). ![]() Edited by bgraybr - 28 February 2012 at 10:46pm |

@cure - Well at least it was partially readable then. =|
Gave up on the diamonds though: ![]() Hair is unfinished and I haven't touched the BG but added some AA because the jaggies were pissing me off even though I know I still had to fill in that area. =D @Voltali obscur@ - I honestly don't like the weird rock texture as it kills the depth of the image. @Graindolium - Add some damn purple in there man! @Mrmo Tarius@ - Damn that's awesome! @iMoose - Removes i from name... I mean... rocks generally look better when they don't feel smooth. Imagine them made up of flat surfaces. |

![]() I've only just started. At first I was going to make a window, but then I thought it'd be interesting to make something leaning. The basic plan is a mario style castle, but maybe with something to show that it's leaning. Maybe someone falling off the top. |

you can edit things up until the deadline, but not after once voting starts. I think the thing about final art is that all submissions, whether for the contest or not, are supposed to be finished works. The second rule of submitting work here says "No works in progress (WIPs). We're not too strict on this one...just don't submit half finished pieces." Of course this very thread is meant for the unfinished works for this contest. :)

@tanuki: yeah, I know, so I just chose the pj default gray. It started out as a square manhole-ish thing so the gray border would be where the cover would fit. Then I thought it might be fun if it looked like the pic was outside the diamond. Kinda like an easter egg :P
@iMoose: looks lovely! Edited by offwhite - 29 February 2012 at 3:06pm |

Are you aware that the template is lopsided?
Top corner is at X46, bottom at X45, left at Y46 and right at Y45. I think the template should either be 89˛ or 91˛, or have doublewide corners - to make it symmetrical. |
