The B.O.B.

Why is it that nearly ALL old western photos never have people smiling in them?

you win...

Metaru, that's just mean, lol

Yes, I can tell you'll make a great addition to the site; love your clean style. However, the site doesn't allow submissions with plain white backgrounds for quality sake; can you please transparify the backgrounds of your pieces that aren't scenes? Once this occurs, we'll submit these entries into the gallery for you.

Oh, and welcome to Pixeljoint! : )

looks to me as if you used Sakura's original sprite, and reduced the size, and worked/edited over it...which is a no-no here...only submit your own work, no edits please...

Birthday Cure happy to! GET!!

I apologize if you feel this way, but our views on this haven't changed. Also, please don't revert to cursing, it solves nothing here.

@Tomic: I agree. However, most of his negative crits seem to be childish responses or backlashes towards mods sending that user's own pieces back for poor quality; hence his ongoing attempt to try and call poor quality or work on every one else's pieces to make him/herself feel better.

   Still doesn't change my opinion of the user in question's works, and I will continue to keep sending that user's pieces back if they are done along the same lines of his prior pieces(border-line hentai, poor anatomy, less focus on pixel art and more on oekaki, unrefined lines, etc...). So for now, just forget about it, and the mod squad will be sure to watch this person a bit further, and if he continually breaks the "don't be an ass" rule, then he will pay for it...BY THE MIGHTY THOR'S VERY OWN, BAN-HAMMER!!!1!

   The piece WAS originally sent back for general quality standards. However, Pandafox submitted it back with new background, and the userbase voted enough points for us to notice, and submit it in. In my honest opinion, I think the piece still lacks severely in form, volume, and several other facets of artist merit, and hovers over a more abstract form that I'm not too fond of. If you were to take this piece, and color reduce it to a couple of colors, one would be able to see how bad the form of the skull is, almost comparible to that of an upstart artist, aged almost around 8-15 years of age...(don't take this as an insult, just a critical observation...)

   But although I voted against it(I'm not shy about my opinion), enough of you felt compelled to vote for it; and being a fair site, it was decided to let it in, as we care about your votes. The thing I find funny is even when we decide to give something a chance when people complain about it's inability to access the gallery, once we decide to let it in, than minds change and decide to argue to send it back. Can't please everyone....

   I agree as well, Blackbeltdude, the only issue is most of the time, people who use auto. tools tend to "overuse" them. ie, the lack of technique is covered by what the machine is designed to try and control...but by the human eye, we can tell when this happens; and this site is NOT about to let you guys cheat yourself on making great art.

   I'm fairly certain that some more popular users DO use auto tools, but the point is they use it to the point where clarity and control is definitely seen. Sadly, most demosceners back in the day lacked severe technical prowess(anatomy, form, you name it), but they tried to make up for it, in pretty designs, and flamboyant colors. Some were great in the technical portion, just not enough...it came and it went...

The difference with Pixeljoint, is we have already came; but we sure as hell aren't leaving.

I agree, the "o" of the piece screams it was automatically done...and if it was done by hand, I don't understand the need for so much banding and colors on it...not to mention random colors just sprinkled on some letters, that don't quite make much sense...

Heh, I saw this as your avvy on pixelation, before you submitted it here. I knew you'd have to succumb to the challenge Siren's songs sooner or later. : P

Anything with Nic Cage in it recently, has been a HORRIBLE cinematic experience, in my opinion.The is obviously taking any crap film job he can, to pay his ever growing bills....

Transformers 2 was bloated, and went on for too long. There is such thing as too much action in a movie.

Never really was a huge fan of Underworld franchise. Then again, I'm tired of movies about vampires, and the like.

ashamed to say I've only see bits and pieces of it...I did see the last 20 min. of the end of it, though...some awesome fight scenes...

Why do I get the feeling these flags were taken from some where?

thank you for transparifying...submitting...

thank you for obliging to our requests...submitting...

thank you for transparifying...submitting.

There's no reason for you to censor your own piece...NO ONE asked you to do this. I'm really  not sure who told you this, or why you felt the need to censor it...The only thing I asked about was the way in which the circle behind the character was worked. Color count still bothersome for my tastes, however. You've barely brought it down from about 117 colors, to now 108 colors. Not really a huge difference, to be honest. Also, I don't see a particular need for the white background...

The palette choice, and eyeball instantly gave you away...knew it was you, without even looking at the username...

ps, get your website up and running, old man, or else it's the retirement home with ya's... ; P

Well, some how, some way, you may have saved as jpeg initially, and resaved that same file as gif, as there are tons of unnecessary colors in the preview...there's an easy solution to all this: just recrop the detailed image, and save it separately as a gif file again, so it won't come out with so many colors...sending back for revision.

Please fix preview, as it's saved under a bad format for pixel art(jpeg), or else I'm sending back for revision...

happy b-day Skurwy87!

The circle behind the doll with clothes looks like it had some sort of automatic dither/transparency effect done to it(not to mention, it looks as if it was saved as a separate entity, almost in jpeg format, even though it wasn't...just loses that handmade quality, however which way it was made...). Plus at 117 colors with a piece like this, it's easy to see that at the pixel level, control has been lost...sending back.

Um, you CAN delete your own pieces...just go into the piece, click on "edit details" underneath the pic, towards the right, and click on the "delete" button, at the bottom of the screen.
