All challenges aside, I am still sponsoring this years Pixelween
competition. Huzzah! You have a much longer time to compete and
complete this contest than the weekly challenges. So there's no excuses. The Contest: Pixel a scene depicting a menacing alien and/or robot. Think retro science fiction movies such as:
First Place
 Have fun and good luck! |

All of the examples are in Poster format. I don't see that as a requirement, but is that preferred? Like having a movie title and text? ------------- And now for something completely different... |

You can do it if you like, but it's just cus those images could only be found in poster format. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Almost all of those examples include the Robot/alien holding the maiden in their arms... very typical of those retro posters the Forbidden Planet was awesome, with a young Wesley Nielson and Robie the Robot. Since when does Pxeljoint have spell check? Edit:: Who can be judges? ------------- I have plenty of emotions; It is Sleep that i lack |

Most of those examples have giant monsters holding on to beautiful women. Most of the women are in the same pose, too.

Wow, those posters have been really misleading. Not only is this challenge not a poster, it's not vertical... So now my robot is going to be sideways.
 I'll figure something out. *sigh*
Edit: Figured it out.

You might also make the girl pop out of the background more. With color or outlines or what have you.

iST that really is wonderful, and hilarious lol. I do think you could make a proper arm for the crab though, if you haven't planned it already. His eyes make me giggle. Nice colours too.

I understand the requirement of having a sci-fi horror film. But does it have to be straight retro, or have options like making a non-horror science fiction a.. horror? Like E.T Evil version or something; not that I was going to make something like that. |

@Shiraku: no it doesn't have to be straight up retro, but it will definitely help you in my judging process An evil E.T. would still be E.T. which is against the rules. C'mon and get creative! @Frankie: dude, that is looking boss! @MashPotato: Yes, adding it to your gallery with an appropriate description would be the best. Something along the lines of "My Pixelween submission" in the description or title would help alot. @kendi64: An awesome start! Love the perspective of the robot but not the building in the background. @Doomcreator0: it ends on the 29th... specifically midnight PST. ------------- |

Cool prizes though, and also, you forgot "bragging rights" edit: oh and, I have plan 9, and its awesome (to anyone reading this and like, contemplating to participate but who cant quite make up his mind) So painfully horrible!

| Haha, thats funny. Yes its supposed to be there, it was supposed to be a cut in the pipe that oozes out drops of purple sludge at some select times during the animation. I completely forgot to add the drops themselves! Good call, Greenraven! |
