@Opacus, We didn't think about first pixel revisions. This is now updated. Fix that wolf thats under revision. ps: Checking your gallery, my how you've improved o.O ------------- |

I'll be fixing the wolf aswell. They're both small pixels and pretty fast :) And thanks Jal. I still suck at volumes and anatomy though :( ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Shadowwwolf/?chartstyle=Bones">

yeah i got some problems and concerns with this too jal, my first pixel ever, "USBeauty" submitted here was obviously rejected and i cant even view it in anymore and the only place i saved it was on a jump drive which evidently got stolen a week ago, can i revise my 5th piece? The "Simon the mouse entry pixel?" I guess THATS what i wanna know cuz the rest previous pixels are small avvy-ish ones... ------------- "Hate is my enemy, Life is short and Life is plenty, keep my eyes on my path cuz i know who sent me" |

  Well it's gonna be a huge challenge, but i'm confident i can improve anatomy and shading. The difficult part is that for that peice i used an unoriginal lineart. redoing it from scratch at that size is gonna be crazy but fun :D wish me best of luck ------------- c==3 |

Pretty much the same question as l3m0n5: Do we re-submit (edit), or do we re-create (make new one, just better than the old one)? Yeah, and um my first has already been done and re-done time and again. So I think I'll move on to the second...  edit: Furok guardian for the win.  -------------  "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

Well Im not sure if I will qualify as I submitted my first pixel last night and well any improvements would simply be due to more time spent on it, but I'm reworking my first ever pixelart, which apart from the decentish linework was terrible. Whether or not I can enter doesn't really matter to me as it's a good challenge, altho would be nice to be entered;). |

Entering your own challenge is also a perk of winning. In this case not much of a perk since we all have the same edge and it depends how lame it was to how much you improved. anyhoo, finally she'll get legs XD ------------- |

We, and by we I mean mostly me, only correct typos and minor things like that. The only edits that happen are discussed with the challenge winner so that its simple to understand yet a challenge. @all, I am just a regular member here. Yes I Mod, yes I do a lot of behind the scene stuff but please treat me and think of me as a regular PJ community member. I love pixelart, everything about it but I am not in another league or anything like that. I get a little sensitive when I am not treated like everyone.  ------------- |

'Regular member' and 'moderator' are somewhat of a contradiction when used together to describe any one individual. Technically you are in another league, the justice league. And by that I mean the staff.  But fine, we (at least I), won't thing of you as just another suit, cog in the machine, ivory tower bureaucrat.

The showcase your coloring skills or better yet combine that with your version of the original lineart. Sounds like a winner concept to me : /

I'd have her positioned with feminely crossed legs. Also, I'd add slightly bigger, and longer fingers, to give her that sexy slender look to go with those sexy long legs... |

I think the legs could be a bit more .... elegant/dainty/slender... i dunno the right word, but in comparison to that waist and perky chest they just look *clunky* There's a definite improvement, but they could be more feminine imho

Uuuh, something i don't get... My image is 128x128 pixels but it was denied saying that i have to provide a small image (100x100). Obviously other participants have bigger images than that. I have reduce my image to 100x100 but now i'm not happy of the result. What image will be considered? I would be bitter to see the small image in the challenge. |
