A palindrome is a sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards.

We would like you to try to make an animation that works in a similar way.
Create an animation that flows well forward, but also flows well when reversed backwards, creating a loop. This can be done by either; copying your first sequence over and reversing it, or exporting the animation in a ping-pong loop. The more seamless the animation seems, the better!


Canvas size: Max 160x160px.
Colours: Max 13 (including transparency).
Transparency: Required.
Animation: Required, minimal 5 frames forward sequence

Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge! Check out the 22 To Rule Them All forum thread for more information.

Each rpg party must contain different characters from different classes with different sets of abilities, weapons, skills etc. They all have to fullfill different roles, so they can complement each other, and could be useful in different ways on a quest or in a battle. And preferably, the party should have a wide representation from difffrent species. It is so annoying, right? Why can't there be a party of all knights, all mages, or all archers?

Well, this week we are going break that boring rule. We will draw 3 different sprites of characters from the same species and class. You can give them different features, like different height, physique, hair, skin tones, clothing and equipment. They can have different weapons but they all need to be apropriate for the same class (for example, if you choose an archer, you could choose a short bow, a long bow and a crossbow, but if you choose a palladin, you will have a wider range of weapons to choose from). Of course we will not accept copy paste, but if you wish you can even go for identical triplets, with identical gear they all got from their mom. However, if this will be your choice, you will have to draw them all in different poses.

If this is your first time with this type of a challenge, please get familiar with all the previous editions:

Animal RPG Party, The RPG Party, RPG Party #2, The Monster RPG Party, Slime Family Gathering, RPG Band., RPG Tea Party.

Canvas size: Max 300x300px.
Colours: Max 33 (including transparency).
Transparency: Required.
Animation: No.

Kemono Games released on 15th June its first game: ProtoCorgi available for Steam & Nintendo Switch.

Some Pixel artists of the PJ community worked in the game as Metaru and me!

You can buy the game here:

-Steam  

-Nintendo e-Shop 

Are you playing Diablo right now? Maybe an annual rewatch of LotR? Whatever you are doing, if it has rings in it, PJ Weekly Challenge is here for you. This week we are making rings or signets.


Draw two different rings as game items. They may be tiny and clean - apropriate for a low res pixel art game, but you can go all out and paint some more detailed inventory illustrations, up to 100x100px each. They may be completely original ideas or pixellated versions of rings from existing games with cool ring designs - like Dark Souls, or any other rings from any other media.

But this would be too easy right? That's why this will also be another one of those random palette type challenges. You have to use the Jevelry_22 palette, which is a compilation of colours named by metals, gems and other jevelry components. And of course, to make an easy way out of 1bit image unavailable, you have to use at least half of the colours.
