Question: can it be a GIF?

And follow up Question: can someone enter the contest and be a judge?

Yes, I forgot to mention that, it can be an animation or a gif. And I think if you were a judge and entered the competition it would give you an unfair advantage, so no sorry. However if you can see a workaround I'd be happy to let you be both.

Only a week? That's pretty short for new to pixel artists - or atleast, I probably would struggle.

(I cant compete anyway - I'm on holiday next week)

 

I may try though - I would love to use this as practice and see what people can do within that week :)

 

Also, how does the prize work? Is it a pixel award you can put in your signiture? Your avatar? or is it just a graphic Tsarmina draws us? or do we actually have an awards thing? o.o

Just wondering.

I think it's the prize that is displayed below your profile in posts (below RM Skill). Or at least I think it's that, because I saw some people have "User Awards" or something like that. =P

Okay, yes the prizes are displayed in the User Awards section. And ya, that why I said I might extend it, but I dunno. If a lot of people still want to enter or aren't finish on the 22nd, I may extend it.

 

EDIT: I've decided not to be a judge and enter the contest, but if we don't have enough judges, I'll go back to being one. Maybe I'll just be both, I don't know.

I can be a judge, if you need it. I'd suggest either extending the timeframe or giving a theme, though. That's not a lot of time to come up with something and make it from scratch c:

Alright sure, you can be a judge, and ya I'll change the time now. And I don't know about a theme, it's really just do what ever you can think of.

I might be interested in participating, fortunately, I am pretty quick at pixeling; so I can whip up a piece of pixel very soon! ^^ Just to clarify; where we should submit our entries?

"4: You don't just have to do characters, you can do objects, or even a scene."

So... there's no theme, we can do whatever we want, but there any preferred sizes or something? Can it be a icon 24x24 or a scene e.g. 640x480?

I'm really not sure if I should participate this contest, I'm not a pixel artist at all and it could take me some time or I'm not even sure if I would manage to make something, but it sounds interesting. =P

Ya, no theme, just do whatever you can think of. It can be anything, and icon, a sprite, an animation or gif, ect. And no preferred sizes, just make it small enough so we can see the pixels, ya know pixel art.

So... this lasts until 29th?

Perhaps I'll do something, but I'm not sure if it will be good enough for posting. =P

~ And it's quite unfair, because for example an icon has no chances with animated scene or something like that. ~

I wonder isn't it best not to show the entries before the actual deadline? That will make a contest much more exciting and a total better and fair for others.
Because a better artist can always be better if he can always see the others entry and don't submit until he everything and confident he could win :) just a suggestion tho. I'm still joining.

Not to be a troll, but really? A participant judging? In fact, Culai's a judge/participant too?

Now, this is not a slight on your characters, but no-one can be objective when they are personally invested in something.

 

I also agree with a couple of the other concerns shared here; its much more fair if there's a set criteria with which to judge off of ie. theme and form; you may say quanlity beats quantity but keeping a large scene coherent pixel by pixel is mark of quality in itself, no? This 'anything goes' style of 'judging' comes across as simply a 'gut feeling' which, again, simply isn't objective.

Its also much more fair if the entries remain confidential 'til the end, otherwise some entrants have an informational advantage.

 

That's how we always did things at R3 anyways, and we rarely received complaints (only from the salty ;) ).

GL to the participants, what I've seen is better than I could do.

Well, judges can't judge their own entries; I don't see anything that seems odd in participants who are judges too.
