CHALLENGE AWARDS

The Glass Life pixel art challenge is complete and we have three new champions. This week's challenge awards go to the following pieces:



Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

@Whisper Heart- Sorry, it's a nice scene so far, but it's not a still life. A 'still life' is a specific art term for a picture of an arrangement of inanimate (not alive) objects. Things like fruit, books, or bottles etc. Not people or animals or outdoor landscapes.

Here are some old master paintings as examples of still lifes:
By Paul Cezanne


By Pieter Claesz


By Vincent Van Gogh


There was a still life challenge here on PJ if you want to see some pixels: Still Life Challenge

I hope this clears up any confusion on what a still life is :)

@tyrant- I am familiar with the fact that this still life. I just decided that it is not required =)

Tyrant has decided that it is required :p

I was joking Tyrant. Of course the challenge couldn't be clearer but instead of any Mod correcting I thought Whisper Heart could just attack you...we need a break :p

I really shouldn't speed read, where tyrant wrote burn I read bum

Hi guys <3 Attempting the additional challenge. Still haven't figured out my lighting entirely but it'll get there eventually...

My current WIP. It's a cylindrical vase with 2 flowers in it. I'm not quite sure what kind of flowers I should make those.

@slym, that wine looks tasty :P

@felchqueen, It's looking like you have a good start. Ice and water are all about reflections and refractions, so as long as you have a lot of contrast, they should end up working. Just play with it? :( One of the only passable/not–a–literal–cube things I found on dA was this b/c it feels like it has the right sorts of textures for a realistic ice cube, at least. Does that help at all?

I've got some stuff blocked out and some stuff more detailed, but I'm probably going to go over everything like 10 more times. :) I messed with the glasses for awhile (which need plenty more messing with), but I'm back to the window... Currently in the middle of trying to get rain condensation on the top right pane.

@ speedycube yet will enhance colors, thanks.

Okay, okay, here ReWIP... =)

@Mrmo Tarius- A ship be in the bottle? * _ *

@Whisper Heart- glad you decided to do a piece more in line with the parameters. Nice colors so far!

Anywhooosit...I wasn't going to do a pic for the challenge, but then I thought better of it, so here's a pretty rough WIP:

@Lusque: I prefer the left one, but I find it weird how the bricks are aligned with each other, rather than having the usual brick pattern.

Also, here's my current go at this:

Someone suggested I try snapdragon flowers in the vase. I think they came out alright.

VEGETA!!! What does the scouter say about tyrant's power level???

Update. I can't even

Aff had not I had thought that 175 was the maximum width and height 200, now I have to change almost any pixel-art .. :(
Now you will have to stay that way :/

@Motrox- Thanks, man!

@Mrmo- Haha, I wish it was over 9000, but it's probably about one Raditz worth :P

small update:

Not too happy so far, just keep tweaking the whiskey glass and ice but can't get it right.

@Skoby- I empathise with your ice issues. I think the table angle needs work. It doesn't seem to match the viewing angle of the glasses.

I really like the look and colours of you piece though, especially the glasses in the background on the shelf.

@Tyrant: I'm loving this so much. I look forward to continued refinements. Why did you add those shadows to the front, where are they coming from? They also might be a bit dark.

nevermind i suck "still life" i suck really
wtf
edit: i suck
-.-'

Edited by philippejugnet - 13 June 2014 at 10:01am

@Skoby, the bar makes much more sense but isn't the pump too small? It makes the bar seem very wide at that scale.  The rear grey line on the beer towel could possibly be reduced to one line to push it further into background.

Looking forward to seeing this finished.
