The sillyness part :)

Just where exactly was my "insult"? The first part of my comment was directed at me!
Elwin (Level 5 Sniper) at 11/16/2007 11:39:55 AM
Hmm not just you black... I'm not going to give a referenc epic, for exactly same reason ^^ And dumbo, I don't think it's a good idea to insult people... No matter how many balls you have 
BlackDragon (Level 10 Capo) at 11/15/2007 3:20:01 PM
I mean for Identity purposes. I don't care how good or bad I look I just don't want someone to know who I am and what I look like. Maybe thats just me, but still. dumbo (Level 10 Master Sniper) at 11/15/2007 2:37:17 PM
That's kind of silly in my opinion. Im not a looker myself by far. But I at least have the balls to show others online, what real world people see every time I go to the grocery store.
Sillyness... 
My actual point was that many of these entries I am guessing don't look like the person doing them. I thought that was one of the main stipulations in this week's challenge. I mean it is called a self portrait for a reason. They even asked people not to trace. Why would they ask that if it wasn't a clear point for tis week. Thats why I asked for the rule to be enforced. Not just the work in progress process to be shown.

I mean WIP...as in showing the steps they used to make the piece...your WIP doesn't need to have your photo included skamocore (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 11/14/2007 8:06:25 PM
and I reckon the WIP thing should be bold and underlined...people are really missing this part 
...oh and maybe italics too 
dumbo (Level 10 Master Sniper) at 11/14/2007 6:26:07 PM
I wanna see some photos with these entered pieces (enforce it please)...

Wow, I wish I have time to give it a go.Heh, it was submitted ages ago :)

The username above is spelled wrong its ''gas 13'',not ''gas13''.I freaked out when all gas pieces wasgone,I thougth he had deleted them

Your piece does not follow the rules either. It can't have transparency. Usually a portrait is a close up focusing on the face. It's not in the rules but it's something to think about.

Okay, this challenge is wacked. The imortal pixel art, though great, is way too big, and mine is not on the list( It was accepted into the gallery). AdamPlays (Level 6 SWAT) at 11/13/2007 11:32:05 AM
Funny I was just working on a Self-Portrait. Guess I'll have to make a new one.

Yes a WIP means showing the process to the final pixel.@skeddles, say a portrait of you as a fair princess fairy
surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 11/12/2007 6:43:34 PM
I think they mean a WIP animation or sequence, not a WIP thread. gamer404 (Level 1 Jukyu) at 11/12/2007 6:10:55 PM
I don't think they are being that strict on the WIP thread required rule
BlackDragon (Level 10 Capo) at 11/12/2007 2:58:03 PM
Link to Gas's profile is wrong, there should be a space between Gas and 13.

when canvas size says "64x64max" it means that 64x64 is the maximun size allowed, it could be smaller, but not larger. when it only says "64x64" it means that 64x64 is the only size allowed. it applies too for colors, and other rules specifications.

Очень полезное задание. "А вот сейчас мы отделим действительно хороших художников от просто хороших пиксельшиков" surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 11/12/2007 4:31:36 AM
You are not required to post a ref photo.In the olden days of darkness before the dawn of humanity rose over the barren earth humans used a device called a "mirror" to view themselves.
