Sprite Challenge #8 -100% Shawn free (do these pixels make me look fat?)

[Gors]

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!

Well Shawn, challenge accepted

Spoiler

^^^^this shit is going to happen^^^^

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

[Gors]

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

[[robo9]]

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

[Alex IDV]

Is this from a Commodore 64 game? I think I recognize it from somewhere, but I can't remember where.

[Gors]

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

[Boo]

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.

[Glitch]

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?

[Gors]

nope, 2x1 grid.

[Vipershark]

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?

Isn't this technically the same thing?

Either way, everything is 2x1.

[Gors]

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.

[Kitsu]

FINE I'll enter something

[JuninFC]

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

[Gors]

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'.

Já que você parece ser brasileiro,

Não tem como te dar tutoriais de como fazer pixels com a paleta do C64. Você tem essas cores para usar, não há segredo nenhum nisso.

É só seguir o limite de cores e o fato de os pixels serem 2x1.

[JuninFC]

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
