Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - Gors - 10-15-2011
I've sent a PM to Boo saying he'd be the next game host but since he never replied to me I guess I'll make the thread then, eh?
Challenge #8: WIDE PIXELS
Make anything you like, with wide, C-64 styled pixels. Instead of relying on square pixels to form images, they were done with rectangles of 2x1 px, as seen here.

There is no need to stick with the C64 palette, but if you want to be more retro, here it is:

this challenge will end on October 25th, so let's get started!

Also this five minute doodle is in the case Im unable to actually do something competent for this challenge and/or this is a explained in a bit more detail, since Im a tad confused over it
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free - Gors - 10-16-2011
well, just use 2x1 pixels instead of 1x1 pixels
what's confusing about it really? :I
if you need some examples of 2x1 pixelart, here they are

RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free - [robo9] - 10-16-2011
Wait, really? I guess I kinda miscomprehended it, I thought the piece it self had to be obviously made out of rectangles. Back to the drawing board then

RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free - Gors - 10-16-2011
I don't know, I just grabbed some random pixelart with wide pixel limitations.
to avoid this challenge from not having any actual attempts, I'll post my pixelart here

Maybe I'll do the next one haha. I have a good idea for it..
I've been busy lately so I read the PM a little late.
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - Glitch - 10-18-2011
Do we have to follow a 2x1 grid, or can we still put them on a 1x1 grid as long as every pixel we use is 2x1?
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - Gors - 10-18-2011
nope, 2x1 grid.

Isn't this technically the same thing?
Either way, everything is 2x1.
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - Gors - 10-18-2011
I think he meant if he could use 2x1 pixels without considereing the new resolution. That isn't valid, use 2x1 pixels in a 2x1 resolution ratio.

FINE I'll enter something
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - JuninFC - 10-22-2011
anyone have any tutorials on how to make a pixel art with palette c64? I'm wanting to do, but I don't have much knowledge about this palette
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - Gors - 10-23-2011
what
just... grab the colors I posted and make a pixelart
there is no way of 'teaching you how to use a fixed number of colors'.
RE: Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?) - JuninFC - 10-23-2011
eu estava querendo saber se havia algum tutorial desse estilo ( acho que é 2x1 pixel né ? ) igual aqueles pixel arts que você colocou como referencia e aquele sprite que você fez . Acho que esse estilo cai bem melhor com essa paleta
