I didn't write this one up, but I'd say it's a go for transparency.
3 colours is gonna be a bitch of a challenge. Thinkin' I might actually take part in this one. |

What exactly does "limited to 3 colors...", "...it can be any shade of red, yellow and black" mean?
Does that mean the palette is limited to 3 entries of which each individual entry can be any shade of those or does it mean that the palette is not limited in its' entries and that participants can use as many shades of red, yellow and black as they please? (not saying that I'm going to participate, just curious) |

I think its just 3 colors, and you may choose those colors yourself (however they must be yellow, red and black, but you may do Dark red, very light yellow and white too.....
Im working on this temple, but there is something wrong.... How do I get it right?? I think I am totally going to redo it ![]() ![]() |

Hi there!
Do these colors qualify as shades of red and yellow?
![]() Also if someone has tips how to select the colors to make the text more legible, please share them. On the LCD I'm currently sitting at some of them are a bit hard to read.

So far this is waht I have..
The line art still needs detail, which I am working on..but I cannot find the right shades of red/yellow/black to make the image perfect.. Also can anyone please give me any pointers on a good dither/shading/lighting style. 3 colors is a new thing for me..this is very hard.
Thanks for your time guys..
Basically those are flaming boulders flying over the sky above the soldier. as the fire balls get farther away, the flames slowly turn into big smoke clouds! (will detail face later)

Hopefully the judging will be semi lenient on the shades of the colors due to the fact that you can only pick the 3. I think this picture matches the greek art style very well. Kudos!
(Kudos from the Greek κύδος kydos) <-- on topic, kinda funny

2. im not to smart on the computer side of graphics...can we hand make our transparency in MSpaint? or does it have to be done in a program that makes the transparency for us?

I mean can I hand pixel my transparency using MSpaint? I realize that it does not feature a transparency function. But I feel that if someone else is allowed to use it just because they have access to PSP, am I allowed to do it by hand in MSpaint? (This would technically be using more than 3 colors though)

then no, you cannot. you can get someone to do it for you, but it is red, black, yellow, and transparency only

(This would technically be using more than 3 colors though) There are free programs out there that allow you to add a transparency to a gif. Pardon the plug, but I typically use 'Giffy.' It can convert .BMP to .GIF, .GIF to .BMP, as well as add a transparency to a .GIF file. http://www.hultshome.dk/b_b_makers/vej_blink_not_psp_en.htm there's also GifAnimator on that site too. It's a simple program that makes animations...but if you're just looking to add a transparent background to an image, just download giffy. |

Some progress:
![]() The BG is 99% done. Just the characters and some final touchup left. And maybe a new menu...
I hope I'll have time during the weekend to finish it.

WIP!
![]() Wow, this will be my second pixel art piece that I will have completed. Just thought I'd do this to see if I can make the deadline. I decided to do a magazine cover for "The Roman Woman". The front cover features the "flavian" hairstyle popular among the elite women around the time of Emporor Hadrian. I drew this from a photo of a bust from my art history book. The hair is going to be the most difficult but I'm having trouble deciding what kind of dither pattern I should use for a smooth surface. Any suggestions? The finished product will have the title as well as captions or whatever you call them. :-) Edited by khorin - 14 March 2007 at 8:07am |
