(no black and white).

No. Only the seven colors in the class of knight you choose. All seven of them.
The palettes were designed to be a little challenging, so adding your own would defeat the purpose.

Hi all :P I from Poland and i don't speak English so good :P I have question... We must make seven knights if one?

Posted By: jalonso
Date Posted: 17 March 2008 at 9:49am
no, make only one knight that uses the seven colors of the palette you choose. Number one through number 7 on a 100 by 100 pixel canvas.

you can enter several pieces into the challenge but each one would then use the seven colors of the palette you choose. Number one through number 7 on a 100 by 100 pixel canvas.

Royal knight.

Basically whats going on is its a game mock up, and the knight on the left side of the screen is highlighted.
We got some tile floor and stair steps, as well as a royal red carpet with fringe.
Any ideas? Please help!

here we go.

EDITS: you can see the heads now, the royal knight "words" are more clear, i added a dither background style to the pop up, lengthened the pop up banner. also made the knight lvl 99, because Jal thinks all royal knights are higher than lvl 37

anything else i could do to make this better?

p.s. accidentally erased the old version so u cant really see the edits

Ya know, I hope this doesn't count as a stupid question, but if we make a beast rider, do we have to use the Beast Rider pallet, or can we use one of the other 7?

Posted By: JerryPie
Date Posted: 17 March 2008 at 1:48pm
I think you have to use the same 7 colors as labeled for that type of character. So you have to use the purple colors for the beast rider.

I would assume you would have to use the beast rider palette. Of course, you can always use another palette and try to include a beast somewhere in it without the person you are focusing on being a beast rider. Don't take my word for it, though.

Man, I wish I could have it both ways... >.>



I started pixeling it with the thought that he'd be kinda evil, like a "fallen knight" then I noticed there's actually a pallet for someone that rides a beast. But since it says I can't mix, and the beast part is more apparent than any evil part, I guess I've got to go with the all purple one...

Anyhow, I need to work on the Dragon's head some more, the shield, his legs, and do something interesting with the background. Any suggestions for those particular areas?

Posted By: JerryPie
Date Posted: 17 March 2008 at 2:28pm
Id say with the dragon, give him some fangs, and some horns that come out of the top of his head or side, he needs holes for ears (the dragon). The shield, I would either put studs or gems. And maybe give the rider a lance or something in his right hand, that should eat up some of that background space. Background I'd do part of a castle and mountains.

By the way, can we enter up to 7 different entries on this one?

"It Ends in Defeat"

Major WIP, lol. Those little stick dudes are, of course, not final, and are just put there to show the idea I am planning on going with. The sunset is definite, but lacks major detail. I plan on revising it later.

FlyGuy: I like the pose of the knight and the way you shaded the armor but I think the background(red carpet) is very noisy and it would probably look better if it was a bit more cleaned up(smoother and less distracting).

Woah, Blackbeltdude, yours is very cool, no idea how to improve the things you mentioned.

---

I'm trying to make an angry paladin.
Anatomy is fully made up, I might even completely start over if I can find some good reference material to get the face anatomy right.
Progress so far:
Anyone else think he looks a bit like Arnie?

I'm hardly the person to be commenting on anatomy, but I do believe yours is off, Aleiav. Her hands seem kind of tiny compared to her head, the right most one especially (which also seems a bit too twisted). And again, I'm hardly the person to mention this, but her boobs don't look correct...

Really, I think your best bet for this is finding a nice reference of an angry woman. Can't be too hard to find, right? :P

Good luck with yours, Dennis! I think you picked a tricky pallet for that face! XD

I like this challenge idea, but I have a question. (This may seem obvious. XD)

for some reason, I still have blocks on my computer. (XD) I guess I should have known the second I joined this site that some amazingly powerful cosmic force would be blocking the page that I need to go to to submit my pixel art. - Anyway, if I asked a someone else to submit my work for me when I finnish it, would that be alowed? I know that there would probably be a lot of confusion of whos art it is though... :/

Edit: Regardless of weather it will matter or be judged, I'll try my hand at it anyway- as I always do. ;p ^^

Edit2: Thank you jalonso! ^-^

Oh, I'm not an expert in anatomy by any means. But keep in mind she IS a barbarian. :P Her boobs actually seem pretty right to me. When you've got big tits, despite what most MMORPG graphics would have you believe, they really aren't that perky. XD I actually thought that the hair looked more f**ked up than anything.

Posted By: JerryPie
Date Posted: 18 March 2008 at 4:58am
Aleiav, Blackbeltdude makes a good point on his anatomy issues with your pixel. You may have a great reason for it, but on a judges standpoint they don't usually take that into consideration. Most people are looking for a woman with a sexy body if shes going to be holding a sword now a days. Especially since all these new RPG's have tainted the minds of millions. I think it would be in your best interest to fix the anatomy of the areas he mentioned. Good start though!


-------------

Posted By: Aleiav
Date Posted: 18 March 2008 at 5:21am
I don't disagree with her anatomy issues like her hands and such. My pointing out she was a barbarian was to remind him that some of her traits are going to be exaggerated and to keep that in mind. Like her shoulders are a bit more broad than your average woman and she's a bit more manly in general than your average human woman.

When it comes to her boobs, eeh, I don't care what most people are looking for. She's an Amazon woman, kickass barbarian. And breasts aren't immune to the power of gravity. :P

And is he supossed to be 50 meters tall?
Also a few readability isues, but it looks nice overall.

Here's my WIP.
I've always been paladin fan so meh.
Anyway, I WILL finish this. If not I will eat my monitor.

(I know it has one colour too many. It's a double white I think)

Female savages wouldn't have very supportive bras.. if one at all..
So I reckon Aleiav is correct on this one.

Dither the skirt, it looks weird without it since you did it everywhere else.

Thanks Leroy. I though I'd keep the dithering of the cloth to show the difference between cloth and metal, so they don't get confused.
Tried it anyway though.

thoughts?

Aleiav, her boobs are set too in the horizontal, rather than the angle the rest of her body is positioned. Her farthest breast should be ever so slightly higher, smaller and set more to the left. The cleavage lines should be fixed with this too. Make sure to show off her neck more obviously aswel, so it looks less thick, and remember to put it in shadow where it's needed.

Great stuff everyone, keep it up.

Did you try other solutions for the transparency of the wings.
The left especially stands out and doesn't quite read 'see-through'.
Maybe ramping one color down as much as possible ?

Oh that works way better, indeed.
More c+c... The veins in the wings are missing altogether. I thick adding opaque veins would really help. Like thick at the neck and thinning as they get further from the head. Once they are the thinnest then that thickness coming down, like bats have.
Look at the eyes too, four yellow pixels are reading big or too close. Maybe add the next darker yellow on the top, dunno here.

E: typos 9.9

He's supposed to be a young page, playing at being a knight, though maybe that isn't coming across too well.   He's wearing a chain mail top as almost a dress, a pot for a helmet, a beat up, old, wooden shield, and a big wooden spoon for a sword.

I honestly had no idea it was a carpet until you said it was. :P I think it's because the background seems to lack depth to me. Really, I thought it was a random kind of background ala Earthbound. I think you can fix that by making the carpet look less random.

EDIT: D'oh! Didn't see the next page button. :P I was talking to Flyguy.

I adore these palettes, and and subject matter. Even if I know nothing about what I'm doing, at least it'll be fun. 8D

Skull Master, your retouched wings look amazing. Very nice.

My progress before fleeing off to bed. It's still very (obv.) rough, but after many false starts.. I've never worked with a limited palette, so it's interesting learning how to try and manipulate these colours. 8D'

Hehe, it's interesting to read/see how everyone is struggling with different issues.

And yeah, these pallettes are challenging to work with, I often wished there was an extra dark and an extra bright tone in it when I tried to shade mine.

So, I spent some more time on mine, fixing the issues that I got in the comments when I submitted it prematurely:
