I might consider drawing a detailed vagina for this challenge, but I think that would be crossing the line between art and porn... QQ

SMK, what are you thinking of doing a vagina?
Just because it's a vagina or what..? doesn't seem to have anything to do with the challenge Off topic, i know.. |

Well, I don't know which world you've lived in, but for many men a vagina is both a Gate to Heaven, but easily also a Gate to Hell. (or a path that leads to the gates of hell).
Both having many meaning and variations. For some sex is heavenly. For many sex leads to things unwanted and makes your life a living hell. But yeah, I probably won't be doing it, as it would be a tad too controversial. Edited by smk - 01 June 2009 at 12:22pm |

so it's not literal sense.. More of an innuendo for you.
Also, not for controversial reasons.. just it's not exactly that clear i don't think All up to you. ;] |

Well, the rules state that it does't exactly have to follow the original meaning, for different people different doors/gates/openings, can be symbolisms for the Gates of Heaven or Hell :)
It might be interesting though, to make a mirrored image with a nice and beautiful vagina and a horrible on. (Representing both heaven and hell, or vagina/anus might also be an interesting comparison ;o) Edited by smk - 01 June 2009 at 1:11pm |

Don't know whether I'll participate in this, though it might be quite interesting. This masterpiece of Gustave Doré could be a good reference.

I love it. It's not what you'd expect to see, which makes it all the better. A very nice, abstract, interpretation. Keep at it.

Is it just heaven or hell, or can you use both?

I'm sure you could probably have both next to each other. It doesn't specify against it.

I started out making a gate to heaven, but as it didn't look very "holy", I changed the palette, and here you have an early version of the gates to hell:
![]() I'd like to make the picture with as few colors as possible. Background is coming, but it might take a while, as I don't have much time for this. |

I like the perspective, making it larger than life, but it still looks like any old door. What makes this door special?

It is still pretty rough, and at the moment, it does look like any old door, yeah.
I will of course add more detail to it. Here's a small update: ![]() Does the open door look natural? I've planned making a hand, or flames, or something come out in the gap between the doors. |

The door should be more angled at the bottom. The top part of the opening door is angled to make it look like it's opening, but the bottom isn't.

Originally posted by AdamPlays Quick sketch, going to add some cool lighting effects over the gate and detail the clouds. ![]() I think this is a great idea, but you may want to rework your perspective in there. For instance, if the two things at the top of the gate are supposed to meet in the middle, it should be located at the position marked in blue by this image: ![]() (Sorry for the jpg) The same idea could be applied to the separations between the different bars, and optimally also to their thickness. Not to mention that there should always be the same amount of bars at each half of each gate. Just a quick hint, and keep it up! Yuji Edited by yuji - 03 June 2009 at 9:07pm |

Here's a small update: ![]() Does the open door look natural? I've planned making a hand, or flames, or something come out in the gap between the doors. I think you're doing a great job, but I would like to point you to the lighting in the horns. Even though it's properly dithered, it looks much like pillow shading to me, and the lighting is not coherent with that of the rest of the door. I know it's a very difficult angle, and I'm not so sure I could do it myself. But since the light is coming from the top, and the viewer is below the horns, I'd say most of the horns would be quite dark. Keep it up, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final piece! Yuji |

Hi everyone,
Sorry for dropping in late. There're some really fantastic stuff going on here. :) Just to clarify the rules a bit, it's required for the scene to have a gate/door structure thingie. It's fine if the gate is designed to look like a... *ahem*... vagina, but it doesn't count if you just drew a person lying there with legs wide open. :P A simple hole on the ground doesn't fit the requirements unfortunately. Portals are OK as long as there's a solid gate-like structure supporting it (something like the Stargate portal). It's best if people knows where the entrance leads to just by looking at the scene. You can have it "ambigous" and leave it for viewer's interpretation too if you think you can pull it off well. :) Hope that helps! |

Here's another update:
![]() I've changed the lightsource, and done a few changes on the open door. What do you think of the skulls on the sides? Yes, I admit it, I used a reference (from one of my old schoolbooks). I'm trying to find a better way to make the skull on the right side, and remove the outline. What is dithering, and what is pillow shading? I am new to this forum, and rather new to pixelling in general. |

Dithering is what you've done to show a blend of colors. Like the lights on the door. Making the skull blend in and not need an outline can be done with dithering.
Pillow shading (a bad thing), is lighting anything 'head-on' instead of off-center even minimally. I don't see any pillow-shading on you piece. Take a look at the noobtorial thread in the resource section for quick explanations of pixel art techniques.

Thanks for support!
I have uploaded the image to the gallery now. I will unfortunately not be able to work with it any more until Sunday. Eldorn: Heh, I like the idea of a random door leading to hell :P But maybe you could add some more detail to it, like a telephone beside the door, or a picture. Lucas Irineu: I like it, but it's hard to see that it's a door :P Maybe you could make it look more like a structure, with steps up to the door. Eldiabolito: Your devil is great! |
