Pixel Joint Forum: prejudice against orange

Message

I don't know why you didn't accept this:
I posted the WIP @ pixelation and it was suggested I use alpha trans on the outer edge so I did and I put a good effort into the palette. This is the second piece that has been declined I understood the reason for the first one.. but this was just prejudiced.  (The only reason given was it didn't meet quality standards)
If it's cause you think i used some fancy tools or something you're wrong look at some of the AA and you'll find some shared colors.

	If you want a good AAing program, you can use Paint Shop Pro 7. Even though it is expensive to get, there is only one site which I am a moderator of that gives it as a download for free. It comes with Animation Shop which can do what you need. However, they have a policy with the company that created PsP, just register tot he site and then go to the PUBLISHER SECTION, it is there. Here's the site: ZONE Edited by Climax - 25 May 2011 at 7:19pm

	I saw your thread at WOTP and I never questioned that you had pixelled this at all. I don't always PM to explain a rejection or discuss an issue. Especially, when I think the artist knew he/she was pushing the limits when submitting. Ignoring all the art itself and all c+c given to you at WOTF regarding the pointless exercise of making this in pixel form and all the other vector vs. pixel commentary. I agree with most of what was said to you there but hey its your artistic call. I can't judge you on that. Honestly the preview file is cool and looks like a great logo/avvy, the wheel art borderline (as pixelart, not art) for me. But forget all this stuff. This was sent back for 3 reasons. •PJ does not add semi transparent pixels, especially in the way you have used it. •The preview does not match the art. • Almost every vote in the public queue were no :( This can be discussed and or explained further if needed. I/we don't want you thinking its a personal thing against your artistic sensibilities. Original pixel art (the post above got all jpg'd) Please note that hybrid pixelart has its place in the world but is a can of worms in the pixeljoint gallery. You let in ONE trans pixel and everyone wants in. **@Climax, don't spam. Edited by jalonso - 25 May 2011 at 7:29pm

	That explains it, thank you very much. So it's not a conspiracy; I can now rest in peace. I just thought people personally didn't like it or thought it had too many colors to be real pxl art or something and cold rejected it based on a matter of taste.. Or they liked orange more than I thought. I now understand about semi transparent pixels not being allowed.. makes sense

	I've read several times you referring to a conspiracy or similar. You did this last week on your great mockup piece too. What's it all about?

	I'm no Carnac the Magnificent, but I think he's talking about queue voting. And every time a mod gives the "too many NOs" response.
