Agh, that 'X' is killing me *twitch*
Not sure how to go about this one. I mean, reasonably it would be a couple of pixel art pieces peeking into what's going to be in the magazine, but a pixeljoint magazine would entail looking at the pixel art of other people, and I can't steal other people's work... |

You could make it about the "up and coming pixel art genius Ashkin"!

Har. Would be a good idea to advertise an interview with a more skilled pixel artist on the front, though- maybe steal a quote from one of the features you can find in the gallery.
Are we allowed to tweak the lettering at all? Please? |

Can i post this here?
or does it have to go in to the WIP? Heres what ive done so far and i dont even think i can use the head... Only reason why i used it was because when i think of Pixel Joint thats first thing that pops up in my head. W.I.P ![]() (Yes i know that we cant have transparency its just until i make a background) Edit: Gave Pixel Boy Girlfriend/Friend :) Edit 2: ![]() Edit 3: ![]() Edit 4:Finished ![]() What do you all think so far?

There are always creative ways to celebrate other artists works without copying their original work.
One example: check out the Weekly Challenge "Mimic Me": http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/challenge_item.asp?id=1280 |

Depends what you mean with "tweaking the lettering". Certain restrictions is what's making the Weekly challenges fun and ... well ... challenging.
You can always show your WIP here on the forum! |

Originally posted by maganegorap Sorry, im trying to make the correct texture. sandpaperfaceman? But seriously, dithering can be a way to achieve certain textures if done skillfully with the right colors and style, but for skin, a smooth surface, you probably want to avoid dithering or at least keep it to the very minumum or if you are limited in number of colors etc. |

@MatWarner - you can't use it as is, because it's not your own work, but you can do your own rendition of the nerd head.
I'm going for "Horrors of the Deep" special. WIP ![]() Edited by a3um - 16 July 2012 at 8:31pm |

I'm working on a "the best art of Pixel Joint" edition, re-inventing PJ's iconic No.1 thropy. Furthermore I'm thinking of just using gold and deep blue colors. WIP:

Very funny cover MatWarner! Looks like a Baywatch special!
I would change the hair a bit - now it looks a bit if PJ's nerd got a star fish on his head. |

TheoVision your work looks very promising even at this stage :)
I only criticize, but when you paint the cup, then these errors are more noticeable than the prospect now. ![]() I'm lying as a matter of fact plotting of this perspective is easily and intelligibly, I just was too lazy to do better examble - I want to sleep already :D Z-z-z-z... TheoVision, твоя работа выглядит очень многообещающей, даже на такой стадии :) Я всего лишь критикую, но когда ты раскрасишь кубок, то погрешности перспективы будут заметнее чем сейчас. Я вру, на самом деле построение этой перспективы выглядит просто и понятно, просто мне лень было делать приемр - хочу спать уже :D |

Think I'm done, here are the SFW/NSFW final versions:
![]() ![]() Gonna give it one last pass tomorrow. Think im using the SFW as a preview/warning, and submitting the full UNCUT UNCENSORED RAW version. @TheoVision : Dude, that background! wow. You even inspired two new users to do a first-post about it :D Edited by Dredlockz - 17 July 2012 at 10:25pm |

@Dredlockz:
You're gonna need to clean that up. It's obvious you have scaled the girl about 150%, which is a huge no-no unless it's properly polished afterwards. Edited by DawnBringer - 18 July 2012 at 4:50am |

Ouch, I didn't scale it at all, I guess that speaks to how terrible I am. Are you referring to those "blocky" parts of some outlines like the hair and eyes? I'll smooth it all out some more. Thanks for the feedback :) Edit: Is that any better? I tried to get rid of all those thick edges I made everywhere. Since I suck at AA, I usually just fill with more black. ![]() I still haven't got the hang out of AA, need to practice that a lot more. I guess I could add more colors, I haven't used all 32. Edit2: Shortened the hair a bit, made her smile, and some more AA here and there. Edit3: some better shading, and some texture for the hair highlights. Edited by Dredlockz - 18 July 2012 at 8:30am |

Todays progress:
![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see I started with the cup. Not sure about all the colors yet - I think it needs more contrast. But then again, it's something I better fix when the entire picture is (more or less) finished. @Yaran: many thanks for your keen eye. I made some adjustments in the top left section! |

@ a3um: sudden updates are always welcome (damn I love your color palette and your lighting)
@ Lehmure: Is the figure holding a lightsabre, or shooting a gun? When it is a lightsabre it seems the angle is a bit off... And what exactly are the yellow stripes on the ground? @ brunoip: like the idea - some cool old school low key sprites would make a great backdrop! Edited by TheoVision - 18 July 2012 at 11:36am |

Unless you're meaning he should use this because the cup is an iconic piece of Pixel Joint's icon set. If that's the case, then your argument is invalid because it is his rendition and is not directly copied in any way. Besides, the idea of a golden "First Place" cup is very common anyways. It's not like PJ was the first to use that concept. |
