in #art8 years ago (edited)

Hello friends!

Well, I did it! But I'm not out of the woods yet. Here's a quick run down.

Last week I posted this pencil sketch:



It only got three votes from these very charitable people:

I had spent quite a bit of time on this and wanted to get more mileage out of the artwork :)

Pixel Contest

My dawg @jonny-clearwater has been running a pixel competition for a little while now. I missed last week's one due to a lot of business meetings. I figured this was my shot! I'm actually a bit new to pixel art, so while I've dealt with photography pixels for years and years, this is a new tangent for me.

This week's challenge:

Create pixel art with only FOUR colours!!!!

Here it is!

And I've got bite-sized too!

Please stay updated with the contest— I think I may have a chance at this! Thank you everyone (friend, foe or otherwise) and I'll catch YOU later! XD

Sort:  

this kickass and is super duper!!

Thank you so much for your support! I have a new one that I'm trying to finish up tonight or so. :)

cool just took a look and voted for the one I thought was the best

your pixel art is so good! hope you win

Thanks so much! I don't care too much about winning, as long as I don't lose ;D

Awesome attention to details! ^-^
Definitely followed, upvoted and voted on the finalists!

@kristyglas Thanks so much! At this point I'm really slow at pixel art, but I'm getting better with practice. Planning to have some more on monday. Take care :D

Yeah i know how it feels xD
My very simple one took at least half a day and more for test.
How long did this one take approximately? :D

Errr it took an obscene amount of time, I've illustrated for a while now but this was a different animal. Maybe 20 hours? I'm challenging myself to cut that time in half though... Mr pixel turtle over here...

Wow :D You definitely deserve the win.
I say keep up the quality and let the time decrease by itself.

Oh we definitely got a top 3 contender for #pixelartweekly
If you would be so awesome as to edit your tags on this post so PixelArtWeekly is included.
Thank you

Thanks, still a bit new at this :)

No worries.
It isn't required, but I do ask that any personal posts regarding the contest use it's hashtag.
Helps the contest grow

That is kick butt!! love that you had it going from sketch to finish.

Thanks. Maybe I can recycle some other sketches in the same way ;D

Also, I really wish I could have added white to the color mix. But rules are rules, right?

Just beautiful.

when is the deadline? what is the procedure for voting?

Oh I see. Voting in comments.

I think the winner is announced tonight. To vote, it;s just a matter of following the link and posting "@overkillcoin" in the comment section :D

did it. Good luck!

nice, this is great. I need an animation like that hahah to make it my logo!

how complicated would you need it to be?

lol I don't know hahhaha just something that changes color will amaze me lol. hahahah I have no idea on how to make anything like that

An animated signature is something I really need to do for myself as well... and little icons to post in the comment sections... Hopefully next weekend I'll have them made. Might give you some ideas for your own ;D

yeah. teach me the basics :D that will be cool

Hats off to the true pixel artist. I voted you..

Thank you @pinagpala for your support! :D

You deserve it sir

Haha! Amazing

It was a real pain, although I learned a bunch of short cuts so if I do another one, it'll be way quicker :)
