@lollge
yeahhhh... I'm so happy it got in, but I'm really learning a lot here. I've read the links Jalonse gave me, and I completely agree with everything he layed out about AA (thanx to dpixel to figured out what AA means), transparancy and color counts. On new pieces, made for the pixeljoint, i will try to better my ways knowing what I know now.
The new knowledge really inspires me and a ban would have done the opposite. I'm happy to know that exceptions are made so that in the end the level of pixelart will get better. This add, even if it is against the rules makes me want to do better. My thanks go out to Jalonso. I've seen your art and the respect I have for you is out of this world. Your approval means a lot to me.
the tiny ppl shadows amaze me honestly, it has a lotta depth to it
@ Lollige, I have directed her to several threads explaining the issue you point out.
Please click the reply button under my comment next time, than I get notified about if you replied :)
As for the rules: They are not written. That is a bit of a problem, but it also allows the moderators to bend the rules on cases with exceptional quality, like thisone ;)
And it got in, so don't worry about the rest you did :).
wow! how exceptional! love it! everything is just prefectly placed and fitted. D:
Hi shadow-dancer,
it would be a horrible if i have to remove it. I really wanted to show this to the world since the site didn't follow through and i have been keeping it a secret for about 6 months... That was hard... !! I just hoped you guys would make me feel a bit better, but now I'm starting to feel worse knowing the pixel society i love so, so much doesn't accept it as true pixelart. I don't want to feel like i cheated, expecially because it took so many hours to make it.
But if it is invallid, what do you think i should to do to change it...? Delete the shadow layers and draw in the same colors by hand? How would they see the difference?
Well, I don't know why it was let in. But transperancy used in that way is not allowed. The only transperancy allowed is for the background to remove it if it is uneeded. Unless it has changed, which I don't think it has.
Hi Lollige,
thanks for your reply. Maybe it doesn't look like it, but it is all done pixel by pixel. I've made my own little Photoshop brushes that help a lot. They are made by me, so I don't think i break rules.
I first made the gras 1 color green. Then I selected it and threw my brushes at it. Then I choose a good bit with even coloring and no very evident patterns. The good bits are copied over and over until it looks right to me. The water is in a layer below it and shines through, but is done in tjhe same way. Isn't that ok?
And i do use semi transparant layers for the shadows. 4 layers to be exact, ranging from 5% to 20% transparancy. Only black is used on those layers. Isn't transparancy allowed? I don't think i can do it without it.
Another technique i sometimes use is saving bits using only a few colors and then re-opening the saved bit and using the results. I just think those are things you learn and although photoshop does the work here, its still my own method i perfected by trail and error...
I really hope they don't reject it. Can i find the rules somewhere?
I hope for you that it will be sold, I have watched them all and its worth it :)
The amount of detail is incredable on some parts, the fences are my favorites.
But could you explain how you have created the grass outside of the soccer field, and the water?
Things have changed here, pixeljoint became quite strict, and I believe that as it is not made manually pixel by pixel, it does not fit to the rules we currently have here.
That is so cool!
Ilike the detail
