Nash Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The Tip.it Gallery Presents... A Pixel Art Contest There is no theme for the contest! That means you can make anything you want! Be creative and draw something you feel best works with your style! Deadline: VOTE NOW What is Pixel Art and how can I do it myself?There is a really great guide on PixelJoint that covers everything you need to know about pixel art. As for how to do it yourself I recently made a guide that helps beginners (Theres a link to it in my signature). Theres also a ton of really great guides on Pixeljoint that explains how to draw certain things such as people; youll just have to look around on their by following the link I provided. Keep in mind just because youve never done it before doesnt mean you shouldnt try! How the contest works: The contest will be taking entries between now and June 4th. Following June 4th, the Judging Panel will decide on which 2 pieces are the best! Once the Judges have chosen the first and second place winners, the winners will then receive their prizes! Although there is no actual deadline for signing up (besides having your work in by June 4th) We ask that if you do plan on attempting the contest to post on this thread so that we can get a proper head count of how many people to expect!Prizes: 1st Place; 10m RSGP and a Custom Pixel Signature made by me2nd Place; 4m RSGP and a Custom Pixel Signature made by me Note on the RuneScape GP Prize: The prize of RuneScape GP is one time only and has been approved by Jagex as an exceptional one time prize event. Rules: 1. Your canvas must at least be 300width by 150height (measured in pixels) 2. Your piece MUST be Pixel art (no GFX, digipaint, etc for this contest. They might be allowed in future contests however.) 3. You can enter at anytime as long as its before the deadline 4. If you miss the deadline you wont be counted. 5. Save as .PNG or .GIF. NOT JPEG. It will ruin the quality. 6. When youve finished your Pixel Artwork post it here and I will add you into the entries on this post! Hope everyone has fun competing and goodluck pixeling :D Current Entries; Pixel Signature Made By Me.Pixel Art Tutorial * Pixel Gallery * My Free Pixel Sigs Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: I would love to enter if I had any kind of pixelling talent. I might have a mess around in paint, but if it's no good don't expect anything from me :P RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I might have a crack, not for the money but to try my hand at Pixel sigs. 1 question, is there a downloadable version of MS paint from XP for windows 7? I did all my work with that and this Paint 2.0 on Win7 isnt accurate, pixel by pixel :< Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Might aswell join. Haven't made a pixel in a while, but as I promised already to make a proper pixel signature for one friend, could aswell "get two birds with one stone." Assuming that is alright by the competition rules. :razz: Good luck to all! PS: Cowboy your personal signature is very nice. I must say you've come long way from since you started. I remember seeing your earliest works some years back, and you've really made progress. Good job keeping pixeling alive. And good job making signatures for people, they are really neat. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racheya Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 My first attempt at a pixel signature. I know it's not brilliant but I'm hopeful :D I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog]. I am an [Ex-Moderator]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkw Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Shouldn't this be against the rules? No matter how you look at it, it is exchanging rsgp for an item/service outside the game. Winning a contest is still exchanging something in-game for something out of game.

Harpy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 My first attempt at a pixel signature. I know it's not brilliant but I'm hopeful :D Ocean needs abit more "watery" looking details (not just squiggles). And I'd try to make the fire more 3-dish. Oh and add some more cloud detail (inseatd of just white bubbles). :) 92 Fishing | 92 Firemaking | 92 Dungeoneering | 99 Cooking100% FTP | 800+ Total | 19 Combat Optima dies.. prima fugit. .::.
