Pixel Art Challenge: Fibonacci Faces


icon

This week we want you to make a portrait, with each quarter of the face having a different palette restriction. Please make sure you read the restrictions carefully.

Canvas size
- Exactly 70 (width) x 90 (height). Use this template:



Colours - Restrictions for each quarter:
    Top left - Exactly 2 colours.
    Top right - Exactly 3 colours.
    Bottom left - Exactly 5 colours.
    Bottom right - Exactly 8 colours.
    You may use different colours for each quarter.
Animation - No.
Transparency - Optional.



The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

 Oops sorry about that.  I'm still pretty fresh to PixelJoint's social aspects.  I was always just a gallery lurker.

 

Good points though

I see absolutely nothing wrong with a lot of people putting candles on steaks.  It probably tastes better than those cakes that they sell at the stores that have been frozen for about half a year that cost about 2 dollars.  I do like steak.

I think I missed the point.

Okay, its a lot like when people used transparency to shade and AA on the B&W sprite challenge.  I think its because we're all trying to be creative, but we all think of the same thing.

Guess what I'm doing with the next steak I eat.

In the future, hit the reply button so I get it in my inbox.

I appreciate flavor and the fact that we have members that visit every facet of the restriction's capabilities.  But it's like having a birthday cake creation contest and half the bakers frying up a steak with candles on it, haha

Aaaaaaaand....

Is there something wrong with that? :D

Looks like a lot of the entrants are just taking this challenge as a reason to use 4 completely unrelated palettes to make some sort of pop-art out of their portraits.  Opposed to the 'Fibonacci' element of the portraiture, which would be the higher color sectors being where the focus lies - Fibonacci's holy grail - the bullseye of the golden spiral.  Since the psychodelic style portrait route has been pretty widely adapted, maybe when the Warhol Faces challenge comes up a lot of people will make fine art homages. :P

user
Robinhood (Level 9 Boss) at 3/2/2010 2:08:43 PM

EDIT: urgh, just remembered the "face" part.... Trees can have faces right? :D

I meant no offence Flarfy.

I like to give this challenge a shot if I can get my LCD calloborated (which seems unlikely at the moment...)

Thankfully it's quite easy to check programatically.


user
Robinhood (Level 9 Boss) at 3/1/2010 6:24:43 AM

Thats so weird. O_o

I'll enter :>

...or a sentient engine-thing partially submerged in orange undulating liquid inside a spherical container :P

Erm, anyway, I think it's ok allowing non-human portraits though, just as long as they really are portraits. I remember there was a line in the Omnivortrait challenge that said "You may let your appearance mutate if you like." Bad idea. >_<

Flarfy (Level 5 Detective) at 3/1/2010 5:22:53 AM

ceci n'est pas une portrait


user
Stickman (Level 6 SWAT) at 3/1/2010 5:00:30 AM

So I can draw myself as a pipe, car or a spaceship?

(Personnaly, I would of gone for human only to avoid confusion...)

"interesting challenge", good luck with verifying the entries =)


user
skamocore (Level 11 CEO) at 3/1/2010 2:53:41 AM

No. It's fine as long as it remains a portrait.


user
darchangel (Level 4 Murderer) at 3/1/2010 2:24:31 AM

Does it need to be a human portrait?


user
Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 3/1/2010 1:55:53 AM

Someone from the mod team; usually skamocore. He came up with this one.

 Interesting challenge! I want to ask, who makes up the challenges when its not attributed to a winner?


user
