Noburo, add the words "Magikarp wins!" and I would call that magic XD Mrmo, as always, your's is simply fabulous, even as a WIP. Meatermen, it seems you've really overdone the dithering and it gives an unwanted texture to the cloak especially. ...What is that even meant to be, MIERDINSKY? o.o Either way it looks okay. I might try and enter this contest if I can get a good enough idea. Here's hoping. |

This is my WIP so far (about 2 hours). I need a lot of help, so please share all the wisdom you have! I'm sort of embarrassed to even post this  ...but I figured I'd give it a shot.
My plan is to have some mystical power forming in his hand. I also am dreadfully afraid of shading that hand  . Anyways, I hugely appreciate any help with this piece.
I used this as a http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/files/costumes/1786/34093/Jace-Beleren0.png - reference |

Could someone please give me some feedback on this dithering? It's my first attempt at using it to such an extent. With so few colors in the palette, I really want to use this challenge to practice dithering. |

These are my two test to choose which is the best.
I know, I should move the texture of the sorcerer, but I liked the effect of the explosion of magic. |

Been a while since I've pixeled anything. No idea why this is what came to mind, but hopefully someone gets it.

It's perfect, but you have to reduce the green light. |

Here's what I've got so far: If it's not clear, it's a guy trying to bend a spoon with his mind. I'm hoping to animate it in time for the challenge, but first anything I need to fix? |
Posted By: Mr Special
Date Posted: 24 August 2011 at 2:40pm
The earlobe looks a little swollen. And it seems like there's some jaggies, but that may be because it's a WIP. You're off to a great start! I'm looking forward to the animation, so you better do it

Yeah, I was trying to go for a big lobe like some buddha statues have, but I don't think I did it right. And yes, there's some jaggies, but no, it's not because it's a WIP. It's just because I suck :P I'll try and fix them, but I've never been too good at it. Thanks for the feedback and I'll definitely give the animation a shot, but whether or not I finish it in time is a whole other matter. |

Dude. Finish this. Now.
The concept is amazing, and you only really need to clean it up. (also thanks :) |

stealthnachos, that's some sweet stuff. Reminds me of artwork in Tool albums. You definitely need to finish it!
Here's my ever so slow progress update for the night: http://i.imgur.com/Aaydw.png Edit: I lied and decided to keep working on it some more

@Tarius: O ma gah! I don't wish you were a bird, because how would you be pixelling then? You're being too modest. Your style works (and you have a style, that's still an improvement over me) and your pics always got more favs than mine do. Why would you want to spoil that? @Reo: good job on the face. Fix the arms and hands and you're good to go |

@whomever, made some small running legs this week. Its no longer in the gallery and was a most confusing entry...where's the magic in that? Why has it disappeared? Where did it run to? ------------- |

also mrmo tarius yours is sweet looking This is just too much in the oekaki side of pixels for the PJ gallery. I see you submitted but I just don't think enough Mods will allow it in (PJ member voting isn't that good too). Next time you start a weekly challenge entry before placing the first pixel cut the canvas by The main thing in defining Pixelart is pixel placement precision and your entry is very uncontrolled. --------- Speaking of Oekaki...I love this Oekaki to pixels WIP ------------- |
