Drummerpete Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 April Contest - Pixel Art!Some people are concerned that the [April Fool's Graphics Contest](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,79029.0.html) isn't serious enough. Some people were interested in a pixel contest; I remember that some of the best contests were the pixel art contests held by Zoso a while back.So, with that in mind, I decided to hold this contest simultaneously with the April Fool's contest.I like to think of this as the "Official Contest", since it has a more serious tone about it.The contestPixel art weapons! This is a particular favourite of mine because every past weapon contest, there have been some extraordinary entries. This weapon can be anything you want, BUT! It has to use the colour palette provided (see the rules below).Rules- All work **MUST** be your own. You may NOT use someone else's image.- You must **NOT** copy someone else's idea.- Once you have submitted your entry, you may edit that image **UP TO TWO TIMES**. You must also keep the previous versions uploaded.- You upload your submission to **THIS THREAD**.- The colour palette to use is:(This palette was found on [this forum](http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139392#139392). I did not create it.)- It must not be larger than **64px _x_ 64px**DeadlineThe **24th of April**. This means 3 weeks in to April. This is to allow time for lots of entries and not to intrude on the other contest.After this deadline, this topic will be locked and a new "voting" topic will be made in which all of the entries are displayed and people will be able to vote, via a poll.If anyone has any question or suggestions, feel free to ask! Good luck!**Note**:_Don't worry, I'm not going to be holding any more contests this month.I am thinking of holding contests once a month from now on, varying each month. Next month, I was thinking of a writing or music contest, however, I'm open to suggestions._ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmeyana Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 @Esmeyana:> I just made this one.> > This is the animation for this sword, a good idea if the animation plays if the player gets a critical hit, also if the critical rate is very low. It took me 2 hours to make this animation, so credits would be cool.It's all the same colors string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
