Pixel Art Collaboration

Post by DarkAuron »

Latest - Will be updated daily if possible.

After seeing Goon Base, I think it'd be great as a community to create a random pixel art collaboration. Anyone can participate so long as you are registered to the MaxCoderz forum and abide by the following rules and guidelines:

-You can add at any size, shape, color, or amount at once. However, don't just add one pixel or a single color of 5000x5000 and call it art. Also don't add just a square, triangle, circle, etc without having some detail or significance to it. At least TRY to be creative (like adding a pixel inside of a square with inverted colors and a weird bit of text below would be interesting).

-Keep language to a minimum. As in, there are some words you shouldn't use around anyone, and a repeated amount of less violent words is just as bad as the more offensive ones. Use proper judgement.

-No pornographic material. If you have to ask, it's probably not allowed.

-If you do have nudity, keep it on an artistic level.

-It can ONLY be your own work. If you steal someone else's work or slap down a sprite from a game or something, that's not your creation, it's someone else's. However if you wish to make a parody from a game, you can mimic the graphics and recreate the sprite or scene with your own style, thus making you work for the art you display and improving your own skill.

-If you add something huge, have a least some complexity with it.

-Sprites are very welcome, especially if they're posing.

-Keep in bmp format unless someone can suggest a good substitute that all participants can use easily. JPG is lossy, GIF is limited to 256 colors, PNG has a few issues in different programs and browsers, and many raw formats are program-specific. So I'm saying we stick with BMP for now.

-Increase the ongoing number in the filename when you submit a change, and do NOT complain if someone submits before you do.

-Link, not image insert, the picture. Be sure the link is valid and viewable to all people; in other words make sure it works and that the host doesn't care about outside linking.

-Respect others' art and do not erase or destroy their work on the collaboration.

-Expand the picture when you need to.

-Optionally, for the good of the collaboration: Add a description of what you added for each of your updates so I can build an index of all the things in the picture.

-By no means does your pixel art have to be good at all. Just add anything :)

-Have fun!

Rules are subject to change. Respect them and I will respect you. Breaking the rules may result in art removal and/or ban from the collaboration when necessary. Warnings will be given of course.

---

And now, to start off..

The beginning.

It's tiny dude being surrounded by a mass of tiny ninjas (what little sense that makes) and kirby flying at the massive crowd happily (and possible hungrily!).

And as you should notice, the ground is just green, so if you wanted to add dirt to it or whatnot, you could. Or, you could add a pool of water, a building, anything really. Doesn't matter! I didn't really create that ground, so I don't care if it gets pasted over :P And of course, expand the picture when needed.

I saw the image and was inspired a bit by LOtR. The statues are supposed to be like the 2 pillars of argonath from Fellowship of the Ring.

Could have spent more time doing the draping clothes but meh :).

NanoWar, you should only post a link ot the image, not the image itself. Also the canvas size is not limited to what you see there, eventually it will get bigger.

At my school, there's this game where you doodle something, then the next person doodles something to destroy whatever was just drawn.

Add a tankies hill and tanks fighting each other, expanded the view, removed Nano's spiky thing since it's not pixel art (I can tell it's from an image made by other means, plus when I expand it's not going to look right), and added Blitz asleep on the ground.

Also guys, please try to refrain from using gif or whatnot. I know the filesize is kinda.. icky, but gif is often lossy in most programs, changing colors and losing colors, etc.
