I'm not 100% sure I completely understand this thread. Do you want people to make 32x32 pixel art every day and post it here? I think it would be better if it were some personal exersise among PJ members to do this every day for a specific amount of time, say, a month or something.

Maybe have people sign up to this before a certain date, and then all of those members would be a part of the 32x32 pixel art club and would have to make something everyday for a month, under 30 mins and 32x32. etc...
</rambling>

Anyway, I made a pack of cards in 30 mins:



Reference: Pack of cards on my desk. This is an image from the internet of the same brand of cards.

Sure, why not.

Something gone wrong and image not shos in IE (although it works in Opera). Maybe it deals with png format or that link has .jpg extension while it is a PNG file. How much time it took?



That's it - we need to set some deadline! Let's say 15 minutes for an image - and then, whatever state it is, it should be considered finished. With more time it becomes over-rendering - after all, 15 minutes is 0.8 of a second for a single pixel out of 1024 - a lot of time!

You can work for hours on 32x32 pieces if you want. I like this challenge, but I am not participating now. Good luck ab making something every day!

When image is not showing, you can't save it. Maybe I'm the last one still using IE, but why not to use some universal variant?

15 mins. I decided not to do another object sitting on my desk. The only reason I was doing a pack of cards and a highlighter is because I misinterpreted the topic as 'everyday object' creativity thread. -__-

- Ra's Al Ghul from the Batman franchise.  I was sorely lacking inspiration the day before, and ridiculously sleepy yesterday (I started this yesterday) which is why I haven't been keeping myself challenged, but it's probably a good thing I didn't try to practice yesterday since only perfect practice makes perfect.

Around 30-40 minutes, including what I began yesterday.  Reference: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7608/dcdrasalghul.jpg

Also, trying tinypic again.  Just learned that I can change the file extension of the URL to .png and it'll still work.

I like this thread!

15 minutes:

I couldn't fit the other arm in there. Uh, I mean, he has retractable arms.

I made a slime, took 11 minutes. This challenge sounds fun .

Yeah! Now it's working! I'm against spending so much time on 32x32 piece.



These two are great! Speaking of time limits, would you be able to do second pic in shorter time?



Unfortunately it will be too hard to keep track of wether there is something new going on in this thread or not. Better to make it all continual.



It would be hard to maintain and not much point in it anyway as every piece benefits from commentary of it's author. Now there's more pics than talk about them, so picking them out and putting in a post is not necessary, - one can easily find them briefly looking at the thread.

But maybe if we hit a certain NUMBER?!..

@ska: what? But it's bad! well at least not what I wanted... It's almost unreadable, the truck is totally out of persp (from a car's point of view). I wouldn't have uploaded it if it wasn't precisely the point of this thread... ;-)
And, your 5' were well used!

@AB: well, if I did it again in a shorter time, it still would benefit from the 1st attempt, so that would make it closer to 1 hr I guess!
Your Swinging London is my fav, perfectly readable even without zooming.

Less than ten minutes this time.

No reference, decided to just wing it and not care about screwing up.

Post-it note.

Again pics ain't working in IE.

Good one.

I think that technique will work better if you will darken or brighten whole letters instead of their parts - in crowdy places it is hard to tell which letter's part you looking at and it hinders readability. Whole letters are better. I may be wrong, but give it a try.

Yeah, but maybe I am wrong after all: now it clearly reads "NOE HRE"...

Another one:

8: I worked inside this bridge this morning. 13'.

I see western theme here.

9: road tunnel; 22 colors :(  25' >:O

@AB: neither! I see stuff as I drive then sketch them when I get a chance to stop! Not today's though, this one is just without a ref, as well as the watertower.
I did sketch while driving too, when I was caught in a 1 hr traffic jam last Monday. Coming soon!

@ Lollige, Reo: nice stuff!

@ Walrus: what are these?

Haha!!! You got me there... :D
I'll now have to think of an appropriate answer...

15-20 minutes


This challenge is a great idea.

 5 mins

I tried to do one yesterday, but it was coming out terrible so I stopped. Here's today's.

I like the idea of making 32 of them, that'll be my goal. Because 1024 is way too many. It would take years, and that's IF you were amazing enough to do one everyday. Well maybe it'll happen someday.

But for now, we could aim for 1024 as a group! Who ever wants to compile them, it'd be cool if you did 32 tiles across.
