What kind of requirements are there for the WIP? I tend to reversion my pixels rather sporadically.

This is pretty interesting.
Spartan, remember to keep it in a 64x64 canvas. Also, neat idea, being a spartan n' all. I would keep the style of the image though, make your skin very pale. |

The gears of war background (or maybe just red and black marbling) with a white spartan. |

I wouldn't think so...my impression was that you have to make all of your entry from scratch starting from the time of the challenge announcement

indeed. it wouldn't be fair for those users who didn't have something ready before the competition, in terms of time. we're all suposed to have one week to finish and submit our entries.

Regarding the rules may we take a rl photo and copy it without tracing (like the pose I mean)?

OK, if we must do a WIP, here is mine. And I've vowed a looong time ago to never put a photo of myself online (for your protection, not mine, LOL). So trust me when I say it's a good likeness (the head, not the body. I'm actually skinnier!).

Well, I was going to participate but I doubt my idea will enter in this challenge, I was thinking in doing a portrait of me in a tingle body Xd, the title was going to say.. "I want to be a fairy boy.." then the description was going to say " ...but not like this :(" dunno really

Here's my WIP of me as a mini demon incubus called "mincubus". I didn't use a photo here (I mean I am pretty easy to pixel this small. I have a beard, shaved head, and big ears). Anyone should be able to tell this isn't a trace any way.
 He will eventually be set in a petri dish, with a needle in his chest.  |

i'll clarify some points before anyone gets in trouble.
first, the challenge is not meant to (or not necesary) make a "pixelation fantasy portrait", its mean to make a representation of you diguised as the fantasy character of you choice. be creative with the pose, you don't need to be directly facing the 'camera'. WIPS ARE A MUST, means that you MUST put a link to your WIP(Gif animation of your sucesive progress is a good idea). the more detailed the better, but remember, is a MUST. no WIP = fail. the idea of posting a photo reference is optional, but its main goal is to compare how much you achieve to portrait yourself as a fantasy character. since we or anyone else knows you in person, its the only way to prevent that you just draw a random guy and add him elf ears :P Posting a photo reference doesn't mean that you don't need to post a WIP. WIPS are a must. Photo references are optional. Edited by Metaru - 13 November 2007 at 8:46am |
