I'm working with connecting the words first. The first one is wildly inappropriate in action and may make a sailor blush but I think it's humorous written down. (a) Journal (of) Zealously Xenophobic Quotations 180x180. Hrmmm, This may get interesting... (the) Jubilant Quest (for the) Zircon Xenolith Before I craze out and start up, would use of filler words be allowed? |

Zoogenic Xylocarp Jabirus - a stork with wooden skin/feathers or made of wood.
Zoogenic - originating, or produced by animals rather then plants. Xylocarp - a hard, woody fruit. Jabirus - a large stork found in Mexica and Argentina. What do you think about it? And if I will do it what would look better? Standing or flying Jabirus? ![]() ![]() Edited by TechNine - 20 October 2014 at 4:52pm |

are semi-real words allowed (like zillion or jewfro)?
so far i got Quantum Jello Zebra Xylophone also xanthocyanopsy (form of colour-blindness in which only blue and yellow can be distinguished) - awesome word for straightening out the palette. Dibs! Edited by Volrak_Rutra - 20 October 2014 at 10:31pm |

@Mrmo; this is great, and you're damn fast. Would be even greater with a background.

Since everyone else has got their WIPs, here's what I've done so far.
![]() It's a Juvenile Quetzacoatl. I don't even care if Quetzacoatl doesn't count as an English word; I've gone too far to back out now. Edited by Crimso - 23 October 2014 at 4:31am |

Ok, here's the first update...The next step would be adding details to the hat, feather and spine parts.
(Truth be told, this is one of the most complex pixels I have been working on so far, therefore, suggestions and/or advices would be really welcome ^^) ![]() |

Hello, I am new here. I hope my submissions are enjoyed, I am just learning the techniques and aesthetic of pixel art. I realize I'm unlikely to win at this early stage in my pixel artistry but I wish to submit to these competitions regularly to continue to improve my skill.
![]() I had a lot of trouble with the 10-colour limit, I really wish I had a new colour or three especially for the fabric on the legs. |

Drazile: Darn, just re-read and realized it was supposed to be a 2-4 word phrase and not just any word beginning with those letters. Yet, his hands are almost set to play a xylophone or break a cross to become xenophobic; I suppose that adding that would be a good challenge.

![]() I present: Qadi Juice! I already submitted the previous one so I've probably missed out for this contest, but will check back for next week! And I would be happy to hear critique as well, I realize it's far from perfect and that I have a lot to learn! Also, it has been pointed out to me that the black background counts as an 11th colour, another reason I'm disqualified. Edited by KPJFormat - 23 October 2014 at 7:03pm |

Originally posted by KPJFormat ...I already submitted the previous one so I've probably missed out for this contest... These are challenges designed to help you get better thru motivation, not contests, k. ![]() You can update your entry if you need to at any time tho its best to try not to because most who already saw/rated any entry is unlikely to miss an update. Some do add 'updated' to the preview file when needed and does help. To update any entry go to art page and hit the ![]() under all art to upload the revision. |

Thanks for the help, folks! I think I will do a bit more work before I re-submit; perhaps animating him.
