This is our second yearly survey, where we hope to learn more about the pixel artist community.

Afterwards we will publish the results on Lospec, you can view last years results here.

Take the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSch48tN8gTF-Mf3-TqYqw6HUsZ_Pd7wxRfcNo5xGvugQOrVHw/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.830074701=PixelJoint

The Group picture collab was our way to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of PJ Discord Server. It went great so we've decided to make it an annual event to visualise how our Pixel community grows and changes! Read the post about it here, and see the final result here.


The Official 2023 Pixel Joint Group Picture is open, and the topic is Photo Board. We will be making polaroid photos of ourselves and combine them all into one huge compilation. This compilation will be hosted as a photo board for all to see!

The rules:

1) Choose one of six templates of a polaroid photo. You are allowed to flip it horizontally, so there are 11 possible photo alingements

https://i.imgur.com/zt6cgKA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/tBOYehq.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/73WERTg.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/EpOvVnf.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/DuRMxl1.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Ra21fS5.png


2) The dark square is your photograph area. You can completely change the surface of it (including the backgound colour) but not it's shape - after you choose your template, you have to stick to the square tilt it has. Draw yourself or your character, avatar, any form of representation of yourself, and the surroundings significant to you, whether it is your room, your workplace, your safe space, your favorite place or your imaginary dream world, but try to make it look like a photograph. It doesn't have to be contemporary with polaroid technology. You can be a princess in a medieval castle or posing with your alien friend on a space ship. Time travel and alternate reality travel is allowed.

3) The bright border of the polaroid cannot be changed in shape or colour, but you are allowed to scribble or write on it to enchance your photo with additional information. Try to imitate pen, pencil, highlighter, sharpie, typing machine, printer or any other tangible means.

4) You can use our sample pins and adhesive tape but not edit them - we want the photoboard to be a coherent whole. These are the only things which can partially stick outside of the polaroid template.

https://i.imgur.com/n5I1sJE.png



5) You have to use the Lost Century palette only.

https://i.imgur.com/VZPYBQF.png


6) There is a soft deadline on 9th March 2023.

We will be discussing the collab and collecting finished entries on a dedicated channel on discord server. It will also be a great place to post your wips and get feedback. Join us and have fun!

Hi, I'm skeddles! You might know me as a pixeljoint elder, or from my website, Lospec.

Well after years in the making, and a successful kickstarter, the Lospec Gallery is now open for public use!
 

https://i.imgur.com/bdp5QpI.png


In addition to pixel art, we also accept similar low-spec art forms like Low-poly, Voxel Art and Textmode. Our modern web viewer lets you zoom in on pixel art and create thumbnails automatically.

https://i.imgur.com/xYlidi6.png]

Another great unique feature is "Monthly Masterpieces", which lets you give a boost to the pieces you feel are most important!

It's still being updated constantly, so come check it out! And if you want to support continued development, consider joining our patreon.

The fruit of our PJ Stamps Challenge is this beautiful collection.

Stamps published after the regular challenge time have been included. Some submissions didn't exactly follow the rules ;) so I had to make some tiny edits to make it all fit together (hope you will forgive me), and the palette also needed unification, becasue there were some colour discrepancies. It came out great so I want to thank everyone who participated. Be proud of contributing to this wonderful stamp stockbook page.

It's that time of the year! Beware for the horrors of Pixelween and get ready for rewards!

This year, you will be crafting 4 mockups of your own horror video game over the course of four consecutive weekly challenges. Each challenge will be another scene of your video game, and all the mockups together shall be your Pixelween entry. Summon your inner demons!

Rules:
To be eligible for the Pixelween prizes, you must submit to at least 2 of the 4 weeklies. As long as at least two of your submissions are on time, you are allowed (but not required) to submit more up until October 24, the final deadline. Technically having a complete set is not required to win, but the fates favor a finished franchise as was the case with last two years.
The winning mockups will be chosen from all eligible entries by a jury of select PixelJoint members, perhaps with the help of some dark outsiders who for now remain in the shadows...
The weeklies also function as normal weeklies, with the usual prizes. Your success in the weeklies does not influence your chances in Pixelween judging.

Every week there will be a new theme and surprise set of colors you can use, and for every mockups the canvas size will be 160x90.

Prizes:

  • 1st place will receive a printed Masters of Pixel art book volume of your choice, and a software key.
  • 2nd & 3rd place will receive a 25$ steam gift card, a Master of Pixel art e-book, and a software key.
  • 4th and 5th place will receive a Master of Pixel art ebook, and a software key.
  • 6th - 9th (and possibly more) place will receive a software key, see info below.

There are 3 Aseprite, 3 Dr. Kobushi's Labyrintine Laboratory, and 3 Lone Survivor keys, which will be divided among the top 9 entrants. The highest placing winners get to choose first, and if a winner does not need a software license it will be moved on to the 10th place, and so on.

The winning mockups shall be announced on the 31st of October.
All who participate shall earn the rare Pixelween trophy.

How to enter:

To participate, your works need to be submitted to the Pixel Joint challenges, details are in the challenge posts:

The first challenge is: SPLASH (September 26th - October 2rd)
The second challenge will run from October 3th - 9th
The third challenge will run from October 10th - 16th
The fourth challenge will run from October 17th - 23th

If you've missed out on one of the challenges you can still submit your entry to Pixel Joint, as long as at least 2 of the mockups are posted as part of a weekly challenge within the deadline. While it probably won't be necessary, poking Gecimen or Gawrone when you post your entry after its challenge deadline is a good idea.

Will you terrify the judges? Will you show them something hauntingly beautiful?

Should you feel frightened on your own, the community is here for you in the challenge forum threads and in the Pixelween channel on the PJ Discord. You're welcome to share your WIPs, so that we may conquer our fears together!

You can find the results of the 2020 Pixelween here.

You can find the results of the 2021 Pixelween here.

Another collab project has been completed over at the PJ Discord, the street collab.

View the result here at the Wepixel gallery, under construction by Umbohr.

There are too many houses to talk about all of them, but to name a few we have the very first house of the street made by Taks:


And Gawrone's Art Gallery, winner of the Non-residentiall weekly challenge:

Non-residential Challenge

And last but certainly not least, the very last house of the street, made by Weerdmeester:


In total, the street contains 73 houses were contributed by 47 artists with an average of 1.55 houses per artist. The street ended a total of 6944 pixels long.
 
Hopefully PJ can collaborate with WePixel on more pixel collabs in the future!

(moderator note) Wowza, our last awards of 2021! Last year was full of challenges, and I don't just mean the weeklies...but it was also marked by an astonishing amount of master-class pixel art produced by Pixel Joint artists new and old. I hope as we celebrate these top 10 works from December, we also take a moment to appreciate everyone who created art last year, and contributed to keeping this community vibrant.

- Christie

Greetings! And Happy New Year!

I put together a little survey for pixel artists (and beyond) to try to get some insight on our communities. It includes things such as what software you use, when you started, what communities you use most, etc. At the end we'll release an overview of the data we've collected with everyone.

So if you have time, please take this quick google survey.

Thanks!

Over at the PJ Discord we did a collaboration using a painting as a template.

Here is the result:
 


And the painting it was based on can be found here. It is the Mariage Feast at Cana, previously attributed to Jeroen Bosch.

This year's Secret Santa is now open!

For those who have signed up to the event, you have until December 22nd to finish your gifts!

Follow these submission instructions carefully, to not spoil any surprises:

  • When you've finished your gift, first choose Submit Pixel Art from the main site and upload your gift wrap (see Gift Wrap section here) as the preview (small) image and do not upload anything else. The description should only say “secret santa” and should not include the name of the person you’re gifting, at least until Christmas Eve.
  • Note: For the Secret Santa purposes, you can upload the template gift wraps below. Still, custom wraps rock!
  • Now, send your real gift to Christoballs by PM, Discord or email. You can use imgur.com, or if you can't, you can send it to c.m.kelsall@protonmail.com. We will edit and change your pixel art submission with the real one, so we can reveal all presents at the same time. Please don't post your gift anywhere else before 24th, that would spoil the surprise.

Deep within Pine Cone Forest, the adventurous Ayla and her adoring dog Falafel often made their coolest discoveries. Until one day, deep inside the forest, Ayla and Falafel stumbled upon an ominous, steel-and-stone tower... Now Falafel is being held captive by maniacal Dr. Kobushi and his henchmen and Ayla has to save him through 100+ levels of mind boggling labyrinthine levels.

With 100% pixel art graphics by Gecimen, Dr. Kobushi's Labyrinthine Laboratory is now on Kickstarter! Be sure to check it out!

We know many of you can not see the comment boxes, this is a bug that we're trying to solve!
 
In the meanwhile, there is an easy workaround:
 
Visit https://pixeljoint.com instead of the http:// version. Here the comment/pm/description box should work fine. Good luck, and hopefully we'll get this fixed soon!

This year, you will be crafting posters of your own horror film series over the course of four consecutive weekly challenges. Each challenge will be one more part of your series, and all the posters together shall be your Pixelween entry. Call forth your darkest nightmares!

Rules:
To be eligible for the Pixelween prizes, you must submit to at least 2 of the 4 weeklies. As long as at least two of your submissions are on time, you are allowed (but not required) to submit more up until October 24, the final deadline. Having a complete set is not required to win, but the fates favor a finished franchise.
The winning posters will be chosen from all eligible entries by a jury of select PixelJoint members, perhaps with the help of some dark outsiders who for now remain in the shadows...
The weeklies also function as normal weeklies, with the usual prizes. Your success in the weeklies does not influence your chances in Pixelween judging.

Every week there will be a new theme and more colors you can use, and for every poster the canvas size will be 80x120.

Prizes:

  • 1st place will receive a printed Masters of Pixel art book volume of your choice, and a software key.
  • 2nd & 3rd place will receive a 25$ steam gift card OR one item of choice from the Lospec store, a Master of Pixel art ebook, and a software key.
  • 4th and 5th place will receive a Master of Pixel art ebook, and a software key.
  • 6th - 9th (and possibly more) place will receive a software key, see info below.

There are 3 Aseprite, 3 Pixaki, and 3 Pro Motion keys, which will be divided among the top 9 entrants. The highest placing winners get to choose first, and if a winner does not need a software license it will be moved on to the 10th place, and so on.

The winning posters shall be announced on the 31st of October.
All who participate shall earn the rare Pixelween trophy.

How to enter:

To participate, your works need to be submitted to the Pixel Joint challenges, details are in the challenge posts:

The first challenge is: The Beginning (September 27th - October 3rd)
The second challenge will run from October 4th - 10th
The third challenge will run from October 11th - 17th
The fourth challenge will run from October 18th - 24th

If you've missed out on one of the challenges you can still submit your entry to Pixel Joint, as long as at least 2 of the posters are posted as part of a weekly challenge within the deadline.

Will you terrify the judges? Will you show them something hauntingly beautiful?

Should you feel frightened on your own, the community is here for you in the challenge forum threads and in the Pixelween channel on the PJ Discord. You're welcome to share your WIPs, so that we may conquer our fears together!

You can find the results of the 2020 Pixelween here.

10th PJ-Official ISO collab, CarnISOl begins!
 
This time, the theme is decided by long term collab participants: Carnival! The idea is to combine a circus, a theme / amusement park and a zoo. But anything related goes, such as joyrides, parties, Chinese new year events or Rio carnival. The carnival has hit the town!

The collab will feature Irenaart's award winning palette, Magnifiso-19.

First 10 tiles can be picked from anywhere (but the borders), be sure to reserve yours now!

Join the collab HERE!

The 19 color palette competition for CarnISOl ends! Phew what a competition. All entries (except one but I won't tell whom) got votes from at least 3 judges, in the end most of them forcing their way into the top 3.... Excepft for Irenaart's Magnifiso-19 which got almost double the points of its closest competitor(s) - Christoballs' Biome19 and SeDiceBisonte's Coney Island, whom shared the second place with exact same points.

Thanks to each of the all-star judge team - all of whom that took their time to examine all the entrants closely: Reo, Cyangmou, Vierbit, Jeremy, Wolfenoctis, Trick17, StevenM in addition to two moderator judges, Gecimen and Hapiel.

The winning palette will be used in the upcoming iso collab CarnISOl starting.... TODAY!

The latest of Pixeljoint's traditional ISO collabs, ISOrd & ISOrcery just got complete! 27 different participants, made 98 tiles in only 4 months 24 days - which is a record hard to beat. Not to mention the final result is nothing short of amazing! Many thanks to all the participants who made this real! Special thanks to Reo who provided the palette (and made great use of it), gawrone and cjlm123 who made 15 tiles each!

Please stay tuned for the color competition for the next collab - CarnISOl! The theme which consists of amusement park, circus and zoo elements, was suggested and decided by frequent collab participants this time.

The Longest Road on Earth is out on Steam and Android/iOS! It's a monochromatic pixel art adventure published by RawFury and developed by Brainwash Gang. The game features four different wordless narratives with a collection of heartfelt songs. Pixel art has been developed by pixel artists Edu Verz and Atskaheart. Music has been made by Beicoli.

The game combines different shots, from open panoramic city views to detailed descriptive close ups. Pixel art has been the best visual approach to produce this contrast between suggestion and description by playing with different resolutions.

There has been numerous applications for image to pixel art transition but Pixel Art Workshop is developed over years by a veteran pixel artist Mbeytekin and brings numerous tools for different styles of pixelization. It's quite effective, too. You can find it on Steam.

The Johto Redrawn collaborative project is a pixel art re-imagining of the Johto region, from the Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal games, released between 1997 and 2001 on Gameboy and Gameboy Color.
The goal of the project was to redraw the entire Johto region in the contirbutors' own sprite styles, not unlike a reanimation collab.

It was started and coordinated by pixel artists audrey, Dewdneym, Foofarawr and PJ user Zaebucca!


The project has now reached a close, so you can look at the whole map on its dedicated website:

Our latest collab Planet ISO is finally complete. Gawrone has become the all time record breaker with an incredible number of 19 tiles in total!!

The new palette compo for our next ISO collab -which is medieval themed- has already begun, be sure to participate!

You can drop the name suggestions for the medieval collab here. The only rule is that it has to have ISO within the name just like our previous collabs - ISOtopes, PrehISOria and such.

I've built a tool that allows you to browse the Pixel Joint gallery by searching for colors. It's online and free, go play with it!

Here is also a video demonstration of how you might use it.

Our current collab Planet ISO has only 4 tiles to go out of 98. Be sure to grab those last tiles before it runs out. However its ending also heralds the new palette compo for the new collab, which is soooooon!

Lospec (most known for their pixel art palettes database) has launched a kickstarter to fund an online gallery!



The gallery will let people share pixel art, chiptune, voxel art, low-poly, textmode and more! Our goal is to make the website as easy to use as possible, and display low-spec art without compression or scaling!

Learn more on our campaign page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skeddles/lospec-gallery

Happy new year!

To celebrate the new year, we'll host boardgame sessions over at the PJ Discord. Come meet your fellow PJers and join us for a quick game of connect-4, chess, uno, or one of the many other games in our library!

Games will only be online until January 3rd, from on January 4th it will be all about pixel art again.

See you there!
