Sould the image just show the mentioned controller, or should this be a scene showing the gameplay particularities of the controller (and the controller of course...) ? Nice challenge anyway!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by gameplay particularities. But the image should just show the controller on its own. Remember you can discuss the details of the controller in your submission's description.

2 pointer-finger analogs :D
No more multi-tasking thumbs!
Also, both halves separate for maximum fatness while sitting on your couch, if lifting your arms over your body is too tiring.
Pretty much a WIP, I'm not sure what to add, it still looks like many other controllers. I don't mean the shape, though, can't go too far or I'll just make it uncomfortable.

Procrastinating on homework :D needs more depth IMO.

I have a question, how do you do the transparency? I tried to download the thing that they have on it but it messed up and didn't work. So will anyone help me?

Hi everyone(it's my first post here)!
I have made this(something like half nun-chuck, but with edge ;] )
What do you think?
SerenaOmega, you can use Gimp/PS, add alpha channel and delete color witch should be transparent, or save as with transparency box checked in InfranView, picking transparent color. Not all file formats handle transparency. For those with layers you can use tiff, png and gif is good for flat ones.

Greetings.
I was wondering if I could elicit some help from you guys. I entered this week's weekly challenge with this:
but Tronlet noted that it was a bit flat. I agree with him, but I don't exactly know how to fix it
He also recommended using a different shading method. Any ideas or helpful hints?
Any help is much appreciated.

Change the perspective, its so boring to look straight at it. It should also help with some depth issues.
Preview for my idea: (No pic yet) The Nentindu Zii: E-motion control.

It may not come out right

I don't know how to make it transparent in paint, but you could download the free version of graphics gale. For graphics gale you just click the ... on the frame your on and then enable transparency.

Or use http://iaza.com/ - Iaza , which doesn't need to be downloaded.

I dont really understand how this works, when i try upload this pic it says:
Error!There was a problem processing your request. Please correct the following: - All pixel art requires a valid small image.
So its not allowing to upload larger than 100x100 and still when i try upload it with small it says that pic is too big.
But its okay, i dont really mind about it.. i suck anyway at drawing

When you make a piece larger than 100x100, you must also make a small version 100x100 max, which will appear in the gallery as preview (don't resize: you can crop a meaningful part of the image, or make a different, but related, image). Upload this preview as the small file, and the larger main piece as the detail file.
Sucking at drawing is the best reason to practice and upload! ;D

Maybe true ,but i dont really know how to pratice it, nobody likes my drawing style because its like "candy" but only ugly.. everybody start whine about lines or anything inveigh.
So i never start draw much pixel art because i just badly sucks in everything.
