You can also modify punctuation and spacing (the letter order needs to stay the same though). Make sure you mention what the original game title is. Examples:

inside a tar-filled sky?))
Since most game covers and posters are in portrait rather than landscape, can we flip the canvas around, or is it set in stone as is? Also, calling ALF-Life before anybody else thinks of this. Edited by Volrak_Rutra - 10 November 2014 at 9:00am |

![]() The other ideas here are way better, but I'm doing Gunpint (Gunpoint). Not the best idea or execution, but heres a WIP, even though I consider it pretty much done.. Any critique? |

One important thing to think about when doing tiny pixel art portraits is to try and focus one the person's distinguishing features ( which can be pretty hard with a face like Hank's ). For Hank, he has a bit of a double chin, a bulbous nose and an awkward smile and a high forehead. I wouldn't say my edit nails the likeness very well either though! It's tricky! As for the general pixelart you gotta use way more contrast than that! Edited by Reo - 11 November 2014 at 1:24pm |

Wow. I have a lot to learn :-O
The contrast it's always my failure (one of more). I'll try to improve the image and contrast. Thanks! |

Ok, I was trying to get away from pixel art due to my lack of artistic skill. I though I would pop on here to see what was going on and this one seemed like to much fun to pass up. I hope this qualifies. "Assassin's Reed"

I just realized I'm not yet good enough with my pixelling skills to take on a challenge like this (at least at the level I want it to look), so if anyone wants to take on Fatal Fur, feel free.

It's not a matter of challenging myself as much as it is knowing my limitations. My skills are limited right now (especially with backgrounds), and I don't want to make something that looks half-assed for the sole purpose of getting an entry into this week's challenge.
But I've still got my work file, and I'll go back to it as my skills improve (i.e. as I get in more actual practice for my pixelling). Who knows, maybe I'll turn it into something worthwhile by the end of the year. ![]() |

Thanks for the feedback again. I finally quit the challenge. The idea was more ambitious for my pixel art level. I must continue practicing.
Thanks again. |

If I discouraged you from doing anything, I apologize for it. My intent was merely to free up a "called" suggestion for someone else and admit to my own shortcomings vis-á-vis my pixelling skill level. I never intended to discourage anyone else from working on their own entries for the challenge, and I'm sincerely sorry if you or anyone else interpreted my posts like that.
