Pixel Joint Forum: Teamwork Competition

Message

Hello everyone!

We're going to try a new kind of compo here at PJ.  There will be 
participation awards for everyone involved so be sure to  take part!

This teamwork compo works as following:

Everyone  has a bit over two weeks to submit line art, or any image 
which uses  only 2 colors (which matches the image requirements and theme). The day after the first submission deadline 
you will  receive a message containing line art from another random participant,  you will have 3 weeks to finish this other persons work into a colored  pixel art.

After the competition is over, non-part taking PJ mods and selected  judges will look at
 the end results and select a top 3. Both the  submitter of the line art
 and the submitter of the final result will  receive trophies, so you 
can win twice! Everyone who submits both a line  art and a colored 
artwork will receive an award.

Image requirements:

The theme for the image is: An unlikely couple

Canvas Size - exactly 150x100 or 100x150

Colors - Max. 32 for finished work, exactly 2 colors for line art.

Transparency - No.

Animation - No.

How to submit line art:

Upload your line art externally (I recommend imgur)
  and send the image link to me (hapiel) in a PM on the forums, or the  
gallery site. If you're having trouble, you can also email it to me, but
  be sure to include your PJ nickname. My address: hello@danielsimu.com

I  would recommend not to share your line art in public. Possibly the  
receiver of your line art might contact you, but I think it's more  
exciting when we all discover who made what at the end. I will post a  
list of all participants when the line art phase is over.

If you submit line art you are expected to also take part in the coloring phase,
  for which you should have plenty of time. If you are unsure if you are
  able to do this, please do not submit line art. It would make everyone
  involved really sad if some line art is left uncolored...
You're allowed only one entry per person, so make it count!
Deadline of submission:  Sunday 29th of April 

How to submit the final colored image

Once you receive your line art on the 30th of April you can start working on the final image.

You can submit your colored artwork to the PJ gallery. 

Please  add the tag "teamwork", that way your artwork will be easier to 
find.  You can also share your artwork in this forum thread.

You should credit your partner and possibly link to his line art in the description of your artwork.

Deadline of submission:  Sunday 20th of May 

Dates:

Friday 13th of April - Sunday 29th of April Lineart Phase

Monday 30th of April - Sunday 20th of May Coloring Phase.

Good luck everyone, and I'm looking forward to receive your entries!

Feel free to ask questions below.

	Submissions have been closed, all line art has been sent to a random participant, I shuffled the order on random.org Let me know if you haven't received anything or if you have questions, or feel free to contact the person you've received line art from! Good luck coloring, show off your skills and transform this 1bit image into something epic, and upload it to the gallery before the 20th of May! :D When you submit, feel free to also share your work in this thread.

	This is the line art I received made by the masterful Jackhummer! It's suppose to be a poor man and money, hopefully I didn't stray too far. The one big correction I made was flipping the old man, I felt the composition of the image wasn't as strong originally facing left. I'm pretty busy normally, but this was so fun I just decided to finish it in one sitting. I thought a Mrmo approach would work best with this type of line art. Here's a work in progress gif.

	The competition has finished! Thank you all for submitting your entries on time :D Within 2 weeks the results will be published, but before that I want to know from you guys: How did you enjoy working on this? Was it a fun/learning experience to be forced to work with someone else's material? Should there be more challenges where you're (randomly) teamed up with another artist? Suggestions and feedback is welcome :)

	I liked it. I don't know if I could find the time to partecipate again, but it was surely a good experience. Maybe I've got the most interesting and inspiring lineart and it was an honor to work on it, and at the same time it was nice to see how another artist would have colored my lineart. @Jok: very nice work ...even if the original Falbalà* had skirt (* english wikipedia calls her "Panacea") It's like having a baby... I look at this art and I know I partecipated somehow in its creation but I can appreciate also the work of someone else... or something like that...

	Working with someone else is totally my thing, but somehow the theme wasn't very inspiring for me. I ended up drawing 2 unrelated character sprites. Perhaps a theme that somehow tells me what to draw would help (e.g. like the ones we have in iso collabs). Otherwise the main idea is fine and I'd join again.

	I had a lot of fun with it! I do agree that the theme was a little vanilla, but I understand that this is a first time thing and we're kind of experimenting with it. The concept rocks, though! It puts and takes away pressure in different areas. In the one hand you don't have to worry as much about your own vision when it comes to coloring, but then again, you have to take into consideration what someone else was intending. I think the greatest part about it was that it evolves into something you didn't quite expect by the time you've finished it. I'd definitely try again when I have time. I liked having more time to work on it, but that's another double edged sword because I hate the waiting game to find out the end results.
