Hey people,
Wanna play one drawing game?

Here’s a basic brick texture, do whatever you want with it. :wink:

Just scale it down to something by the power of 2 (16x, 32x, 64x, 128x, 256x, etc), if you decide to use it in a game.

A … drawing game?

elaborate! :wink:

#5

I’m definitely a programmer and not an artist. However, I learned to work with Paint.NET a bit and now I can do a little pixelart and create for example some acceptable-looking planets:

#6

Acceptable? Those planets look very nice :smiley:

Don’t underestimate your abilities :point:

#7

Have to say, those planets are better than anything I can currently do in that style. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#8

Here’s a piece of concept art I did a while ago (for a game I never got around to starting)

Still using it as my desktop background.

#9

I find it much easier to draw on paper than on the computer.

Well, while we’re posting random images, I also made(make) a fairly popular minecraft resource pack, and run a adult minecraft server, so I made this background sporting my resource pack’s art and my Resource Pack’s logo:

…and the original drawing:

…that eventually became the official logo/title of my new game:

Thanks :slight_smile: Here’s some tutorials I played around with to get there:

I personally feel that I’m actually quite good at pixel-art, though I can’t actually make anything to put in this thread because I’m on a separate computer out of town, where I don’t have access to my editing software. :frowning:

Anyway, about the game.

It is called PicFight and rules are simple:

  1. Master of the game (usually it is me) publish one drawing subject and a deadline.
  2. Each participant draw at least one artwork for the subject, hide it from other participants and secretly send his finished/unfinished works to the master of the game.
  3. Then after the deadline the master publish all works.

Here I have a few examples from the previous fights I was running:

PicFight: “Robots-Killers, PixelArt (32x32 pixels limit)”

“I’m sorry Dave”

Then there was another one about postal stamps:

The fight is not really centralized somewhere or attached to a specific social network/forum. Mostly I run it by e-mail. Right now I have at least three participants and current subject is “Game Concepts: Imagine yourself being a game-designer and produce as much game concepts as you can.” Looks like quite rich subject.

So I was wondering if anybody here want’s to participate in the fight?

Here are the instructions for you:

  1. Draw as much game concepts as you want/can and send them to jgo-picfight @ jfixby.com Don’t forget to attach your artwork and your profile link.
  2. Try to do it by the end of the 6th April. Or at least drop me an e-mail that you are drawing and you just need some more time.
  3. Wait for the publishing day.

Deadlines are flexible: we prefer to wait a bit more but to get more fun in the end. So postponing deadlines is quite a regular practice for PicFights. Everything we do is for the sake of fun!

Are you good to go?

Wow! Really good art, I love all of it. There´s different distinct flavours, but all are very pretty (well, or creepy). Well done!

#17

thanx,
authors really appreciate a lot of comments ;D

#18

That last gif reminds me of this: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=31&weekday=tue

(tip: sound on, preferably headphones. Also alone in the dark at 2a.m)

#19

So how about next fight? Any volunteers? :slight_smile:

#20

I’m not necessarily an artist, apart from pixel-art at least, but I opened up Paint.NET and then this happened.

Any psychedelic artists here? 8)
