Pixel Art Challenge: Finding Unusual Beauty

Beauty is about more than being skinny, having perfect skin and hair, ripped muscles or big breasts, more than being new, shiny and perfectly formed. Portray a person or object from every day life that does not conform to classic standards of beauty, but in a beautiful way.

32 colours max
Transparency & animation optional
NO canvas restriction

The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

This is hard, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder ha

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 5/28/2007 08:52

What a cool challenge idea.

MashPotato (Level 7 Underboss) @ 5/28/2007 08:52

This sounds interesting, I hope I have some time this week. Heehee, insects are what came to my mind first too ^_~

Ensellitis (Level 11 Sensei) @ 5/28/2007 08:49

bugs are ugly, just ugly... no beauty at all

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 5/28/2007 08:47

I expect a lot of BUGS

Hapiel (Level 11 Admiral) @ 5/28/2007 03:08

In that case, I hope I have the time to do it in a week :p.. Ok ill enter this time :)

Ensellitis (Level 11 Sensei) @ 5/28/2007 03:06

sure you do... everyone has the skill, they just need to take the time and effort to use it.

Hapiel (Level 11 Admiral) @ 5/28/2007 03:02

I have an idea.. but the question is, do I have the skills to do something with it?

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 5/28/2007 02:29

finite: thats fine by me, I suck at art :(

Fool: I suppose if you're ugly enough ;p

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 5/28/2007 01:43

Heh, tough task, I'd say, when everythig around you is ugly and terrifying - people, places, things and only one ... well, are selfportraits allowed?

NuffinInMyMuffin (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/28/2007 01:39

I have an idea...*snicker*...

finite (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 5/28/2007 01:07

Cool idea... this is a lot more cerebral than the usual challenges, more akin to fine art than pixel. ;) Will make a nice change. If there's one thing I've learned it's that you can get way too bogged down in techniques and technicalities, and forget about the art. I do it all the time. :)

I really like the sound of this challenge. Looking forward to seeing what people do!
