Will it be less boring to vote, YES! ;)

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 7/23/2008 4:18:04 PM
This is probably one of the reasons i'd preferred some kind of submission limit, but the size restrictions themselves i'm quite happy about. This is pixel art! This is the kind of resolution you guys should be able to work with well.

To be honest i think the really good submissions will stand out. Will it take longer to vote? Sure. Will it be harder to vote? Nah.

dogmeat (Level 7 General Manager) at 7/23/2008 11:13:45 AM
You have a really good attitude Broli, thanks for sharing :)

CaKsTeR (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/23/2008 11:10:01 AM
I think I'll try to make one more piece for this, as it's good practice and usually I have no inspiration to do pixel art.

Broli (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/23/2008 11:05:11 AM
Eh, I'm sticking with only my Kilroy picture. :S Every other competitions I've been on only allow one entry you can submit and that's what I always like to do just to make it fair. I already see pieces that I love and hope win. Good luck to everyone who enters. :)

ceddo (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 7/23/2008 10:42:33 AM
I didn't say I wouldn't refine - with 32 x 32, there's only a certain amount of refining you can do before you're just wasting time and aren't contributing to the piece anymore.

Vertigo-Zero (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 7/23/2008 10:32:10 AM
Agreed, the rules practically invite you to make a LOT of pieces, but its supposed to invite you to create good quality... I think its because of the canvas size combines with no animations...

Its quality not quantity!

dogmeat (Level 7 General Manager) at 7/23/2008 8:49:37 AM
So many entries so far! Just proves you can issue a simple but fun challenge that's actually challenging :) Reading the comments and looking at some of the entires, I don't think some folks are "challenging" themselves by submitting multiple entries instead of challenging themselves to work on one single piece for an extended ammount of time to refine and make it perfect.

Ndsfreak (Level 5 Soldier) at 7/23/2008 8:38:10 AM
Ah. I guess I'm not used to the rules of PixelJoint challenges after entering MFGG sprite compos for a year.

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 7/22/2008 10:24:15 PM
Yeah, you can do that with every challenge.

Ndsfreak (Level 5 Soldier) at 7/22/2008 6:27:28 PM
Wait, we are allowed to submit multiple entries? Awesome. I never knew that.

cantdoright (Level 1 Gangster) at 7/22/2008 4:03:20 PM

I only submitted two good entries I think, rest are bad.


A.B. (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 7/22/2008 3:42:16 PM
Aaah, I submitted an entry anyways.

drZool (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 7/22/2008 2:33:08 PM
I'm going for telling a story by lining up my entries side by side.

ceddo (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 7/22/2008 12:07:42 PM
Alright boys, I'm gonna try to stuff as many (good) entries as I can in here. hahahah

CaKsTeR (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/22/2008 10:21:18 AM
Oh well, the least he could have done was allow animation. =|

Vertigo-Zero (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 7/22/2008 9:51:27 AM
Yea this challenge sucks, they could have seen all these entries coming :S noob challenge I tell ya!

Edit: And what an easy way to gain points! Probably is going to be accepted like all the other lousy entries! http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/34224.htm

A.B. (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 7/22/2008 5:58:32 AM
I won't vote in this challenge. There'll be waaay too many entries.

cantdoright (Level 1 Gangster) at 7/21/2008 9:15:11 PM
dang now I got to go edit some more }=v{ 0 <mario angry!

CaKsTeR (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/21/2008 8:49:27 PM
It cant:

 - Canvas: 32 x 32

cantdoright (Level 1 Gangster) at 7/21/2008 8:48:02 PM

no i think it can be smaller


purpletree (Level 6 Major) at 7/21/2008 8:36:01 PM
umm so the the cnavas has to be 32 x 32 not smaller or bigger right?

cantdoright (Level 1 Gangster) at 7/21/2008 8:26:45 PM
140 or so if it keeps going like this. Plus im make another one right now.

Cheshire (Level 1 Intern) at 7/21/2008 8:24:00 PM
I think it will be.. ermm.. 111 entries, yeah
Who want to bet?

skamocore (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/21/2008 7:49:31 PM
90               

skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/21/2008 7:46:23 PM
I say we try to break the record, anyone remember how many knights got? (I think that beat pokemon...)

I'm really spammin' up here

CaKsTeR (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/21/2008 7:41:31 PM
There's going to be a lot more than 32 entries... Look how many there are today, and its monday. How are we going to be able to vote. D:

skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/21/2008 7:08:56 PM
I couldn't spend 30 minutes on a 32x32.

cantdoright (Level 1 Gangster) at 7/21/2008 5:03:46 PM
I dont think any one needs a week to work on a 32 x 32, but what do I know.

CaKsTeR (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/21/2008 4:54:08 PM
Or spend all week on ONE icon, and blow away the competition ;D

cantdoright (Level 1 Gangster) at 7/21/2008 4:10:56 PM
that might be true for me if I can get enough ideas

7even (Level 6 Hitman) at 7/21/2008 3:13:27 PM
It's like the 7even Knights challenge, but this time the canvas size is serious.
I sense 32 entries for each person.

dogmeat (Level 7 General Manager) at 7/21/2008 2:25:56 PM
Not too small, don't limit yourself :)

when you say "too small" i smell "challenge"

BlackDragon (Level 10 Capo) at 7/21/2008 2:13:01 PM
Gonna be daaaamn hard to pick just 3 for this one...  I might enter but I dunno :/

skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/21/2008 1:59:37 PM
I agree this is too small. Especially since we can't do animations. I might skip this one. Or I might enter just in case everyone else skips.

tomic (Level 10 Lieutenant General) at 7/21/2008 11:51:03 AM

ALERT! THRESHOLD ERROR: canvas to small. cannot achieve synergy for avatar use.

may cause core meltdown, continue? [Y/N]:


Elwin (Level 5 Sniper) at 7/21/2008 10:16:51 AM
made a bow icon :D

Ndsfreak (Level 5 Soldier) at 7/21/2008 9:33:13 AM
Dibs on a hand grenade.

skeddles (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/21/2008 8:04:19 AM
rofl                                

Stickman (Level 4 Deputy) at 7/21/2008 3:34:48 AM
Aaahhh...it's a shame that animation isn't allowed as the canvas size is small enough to make it do-able.

Good challange idea.

purpletree (Level 6 Major) at 7/21/2008 12:55:59 AM
lol yeah hopefully i can submit somehitng for this~

Zephiel87 (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 7/21/2008 12:14:51 AM
I am sensing 32768 entries.

skamocore (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 7/21/2008 12:04:27 AM
Ah, finally, another awesome challenge :D I wonder if this will beat 7even's challenge.
