The Two-Faced 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!

Hey, can it be like when you do that double special move in Marvel vs. Capcom?

13 colors, methinks. I should go and check. Anyway, I had fun doing this one. Traced a few lines for reference, and then pixel'd from there.

It's Rorschach! Rorschach's awesome. Drawing beans is not. Forgive the terrible hand and the terrible terrible beans. Also, any suggestions welcome! Especially about the palette, which I made countless changes to. Thankyou. That is all.

edit: I'd rather not give you the reference pic, because mine pales in comparison with that masterpiece, but here you go anyway ;): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PeV5Fgv9e7A/SP1u4kd7sTI/AAAAAAAAEPI/-DQvTdn9MWQ/s400/rorschach01w.jpg

Should I fix the beans or not?

editedit: If it's not clear, the two faces are Walter Kovacs and Rorschach. Read the comic if you're not sure why they constitute as two different people - specifically the bit where Kovacs is remembering how he became Rorschach.

There is no transparency, but I have a question can I do a animation where the half face slowly fades into a skull.

I like it, but the beans could look better. As you said. Go ahead! 

Meh, I'm sure this counts as an okay first effort. Used to show the two "faces" of the mutant-human conflict. I'd happily accept pointers on how to improve.

dithering is not a must in the pixelart process, specially dithering doesnt mean shading. its one of the main mistakes people tends to do at the begining.

i'd rather not dither at all. unless you need a certain texture or you're limited on colors. otherwise is quite pointless to do such thing when you can easily use another shade of colors to do a more suitable trasition of colors(or generate a better palette in the first place, so you can use more eficiently the colors you already have).

True, but I'm a sucker for low colour counts and I think dithering is one of the most fun things about pixel art. Also I think it looks a lot nicer that just using a separate colour.

Edited by Cesque - 04 March 2009 at 10:25am

if you're going for dithering a specific aesthetic purpose, go ahead. but its completely diferent when people teach or believe that shading an object means a 50x50 dither pattern wich is at must, ugly.

I'd say it qualifies.

screw the challenge, finish it anyway.

What have you honestly never seen or heard of a penis?

you know how i feel about penis's ... people here denying my hotdog penis to be my avatar. DO THIS, FINISH IT!

Hello, first post here.


Maybe my picture is too bordeline to be entered as a challenge entry, but the rules do not mention it has to be left/right side after all ...



What do you think ?


Edited by oCo - 07 March 2009 at 3:06pm

This is my entry so far, I think i have hit about 15 colors at this point.

Heavy WIP

EDIT:



Made some fixes, still not done
