CHALLENGE: Pixeljoint Tales"Long ago, there were tales of a monster, who lurked the meadows of the scared inhabitants of the Pixel joint Village. Unfortunately, it only came out during the nighttime. And at that time, the myst and fog tends to flood the air, so a sharp eye was never cast upon it. However, though many lives it's claimed, some have survived to live and tell of the ghastly sight.A soldier who tried(and failed) to exterminate the beast, said it had 4 legs, and a hairy tuft upon it's back, shoulders and head. Almost like a Lion's mane! A disgruntled farmer whose cows and sheep had fell victim to the beast, claimed it's eyes were dormant and bright blue when hazing, but as soon as he raised his shot gun to fire at it, it's eyes turned a bright red, and it's mouth frothed with madness. He also said it had THREE horns protruding from it's head, where as smoke emptied from it's nostrils. Finally, the crazy old woman of the west said the beast is a calm beast if not disturbed, and enjoys the smells of her potted plants, which he visits some nights. She claims it does have giant, hairy arms, but only has 3 fingers for each hand, with one finger carrying a giant, sharp claw on each hand as well. Not to mention, it tends to sometimes knock over her plants with it's tentacle-like tail, making her believe it to be slightly clumsy. None the less, this beast has never been fully captured or seen. Maybe a brave soul can one day find and show us just what exactly haunts our meadows this time of year!!" Alright, so your mission is capture this beast with your trusty camera, and bring it back to us, so we can see just what exactly this thing is! The challenge is to pixel a piece of how this monster looks like, by using the above story and anecdotes as the monster traits, while at the same time making it look as if it's a photo, that was taken. As long as it doesn't conflict too much with the description above, it's look is totally up to you! Rules: size: 200x200 max colors: 32 max animation: no transparency: no Your entry has to be a scene since it's supposed to look like a photo, capturing the monster. Bonus for making your entry look like a photograph :) CHALLENGE RULES

Awesome Idea!
Well, seeing as nobody's posted a start here, I will begin! I first want to say that I've been working on this for 2 hours straight! and that allot will be changed and added, for example: .the third horn .tuft of hair on back .and the obvious claws on each foot. Secondly, I will probably change the colors I have now as they don't fit what I am ultimately looking for. Thirdly, there are 12 colors at the mome, so if you look at this pic and say there are many unneeded greys, then all I'll say is "those extra colors are from the line tool I used for the landscape etc, and I was lazy in this way as it is 11:00PM here.) Well here it is!: oh I almost forgot, I will make the light from the eyes apear, through light . Edited by Jim16 - 29 October 2008 at 2:11am |

I have a great idea I give away to whoever is willing to try.
since this entry is about making it look like a "capture photo"...
why not make it like a fake capture?
like all those fake Nessie pics, and the UFO's on strings. capture somebody in a monster suit, or maybe an origami monster silhouette etcetcetc
end.

Yes, but maybe change the backdroop. I'm sure that te beast will not change much.
@ CaTZ: really nice, good outline. @ Pipe: The face is something rare. |

Seems everyone is forgetting that besides the 4 legs, it also has arms.

That is correct. I said it had big arms, and 4 legs. One could say the front legs were the arms, or that it had 4 legs, and a set of arms as well...again, I did this to leave room for the imagination...don't worry about rules, you guys, just follow the description AS BEST AS YOU CAN, and pixel the scene....again, it's totally up to how your mind sees it.

CaTZ: do not ever save pixel art as a jpeg...or if you're saving it as a bitmap in paint, don't do that either. Save only as a png or gif.

Thanks Igor. I'll try since I am enjoying this.
Here's an update: ![]() No the smoke is coming out of his nose, it will not fill the rest of the image. I am not yet sure what to do with the background. |

I know that is from the nose, i am trying to say (my english is bad), that is hard to do a BG and a translucent smoke.
I recommend for you, do a black BG and only put the shadow. ![]() still wip --- edit: FINAL (Maybe) ![]() PREVIEW ![]() what should I do? (haven't post yet) Edited by Igor K. - 01 November 2008 at 11:36am |

The timer has nothing to do with time zones. It goes for exactly 7 days (168 hours). You have that amount of time to finish pixelling something. If the time on the counter gets to 0 by 11pm where you live, then that's when you have to submit your entry by.
