1. Welcome to the Art + Literature sections! Some things to keep in mind:
    • It's a good idea to specify whether or not you're looking for critique from your fellow members. Please don't let friendly criticism turn into an all-out flame war.
    • Art and literature often deal with mature subjects. This is fine, but please keep in mind that we'd like to keep things PG-13. Don't let discussions get out of hand, and if they do, please alert a moderator.
    • If you've got a request, please use the [REQUEST] prefix!

    Welcome. These are community-run pixel art challenges. New winners every Saturday. All may enter, one will win.
    [​IMG]

    Anybody can enter their own pixel art. It must fit with the week's theme and requirements.
    The contest takes place every week from Sunday to Friday. You can submit your entry for each week's theme in this thread.
    The entry with the most likes by the end of the week wins.

    It's not against the rules to win multiple times in a row. In theory, one could hold the winner's crown forever.
    This contest is made so people will try to outdo each other, and become better pixel artists in the process.​

    [​IMG]

    Make sure we know it's a submission when you post your entry. Maybe title it with something like ENTRY.
    Present pixel at a visible resolution. If it's too small to see, try multiplying the size by 3 or 4. [Tutorial]

    Just wondering, how do you properly resize pixel art without it being all messed up? Because when I try using the 'Resize' tool in Paint.Net, it makes it look all blurry and hurts my eyes.
     
  7. Hwo Thumb

    Hwo Thumb Scruffy Nerf-Herder

    In gimp, you can just turn interpolation off. There's probably an option for that in paint.net too.

    By the way, I've never heard of that program. What is it?
     
  8. Lord Octopus

    Lord Octopus Starship Captain

    In the Main post for the thread, under RULES there is a tutorial for resizing with different programs. Click on that then the paint. net
    just by glancing at it change when resizing image to nearest neighbor

  9. I really should reorganize that eyesore.

    Search 'Paint.NET' in Google. It's a free art program that is really easy to use.

    Ok.

    EDIT: A test for the resizing in Paint.NET like Lord Octopus suggested. I think it turned out pretty good...

    Does the theme 'Mythical Creatures' include any creature that we make up, not just from mythology?
