Cool 7 people! :beam: Is that most so far?
- Soul :goatee:
its a fair few…
lots of competition
Alright, I’ve mostly finished mine… Here’s the first version before I clean it up a bit. And try and make it a bit less dull…
I dunno, I didn’t go with the 3D isometric view. I just drew it. So it looks a little weird…
I liked the view point=) I don´t dig that 3D isometric stuff that much either:-\
I´ll post mine in a min.
Its nice Kit :beam:
- Soul :goatee:
Kit no offense, as i can’t even make smilies (pixel art is HARD) but the castle of yours looks like something the water did to my beautiful castles after the tide came in…it looks muddy and like its melting unless of course, thats the effect you wanted?? lol, i think ur idea to go for the ruins might have backfired this time…
That’s nice Kit But aren’t you a bit early?
Probably. But I know I’ll forget to post it up otherwise.
Mak: I know, this one does look very weird… The sandcastle thing is pretty accurate, even though that’s not what it was meant to look like. I don’t think Soul is going to have much competition from this quarter. The whole ruins idea was good in theory, but in practice it looks… well, weird. (-:
I stuck it up on deviantART so I could stick it in an IMG tag and not have to attach it, and for once I’ve got loads of lovely comments on it. It even made the daily top favourites in that section! I’m amazed, I never realised there were quite so many pixel artists out there…
but to say that you (kit) drew it pixel by pixel, its pretty intense and also to say you haven’t stuck to the coventions and managed to still make it look 3D then well done…
pat on the back for you… :cowboy:
tip:
sit a bit back from kits picture and squint alittle…
then you will truely see how good kits picture is… looks real from here…
maybe not conventional but still really good
I defy convention.
I laugh at isometrics.
I drop ice cubes down the vest of normality.
Well noticed Star, it <i>does</i> look better if you view it from a distance and squinting. Obvious when you think about it. :sigh:
I was going to post mine, but now I´m not sure if it´s ok to do that:-\ I spend almost 4 hours in the castle and now I´m sick of it:x
My castle mix isometric with 3d, taking the worst of each 
If this doesn’t have to be 3D, count me in! My entry will prbly come last but heck, lol :elderly:
Michael 
not 3D but definatly pixel art…
That is…
CORRECT!
update:
I’m up to 17 layer sets, and about 100+ layers so far…
And I’m not even nearly done yet… 
geez…
still have the marketplace to finish (start)… and the ppl in it…
Eilsoe, you are seriously scaring me now… :!:
OK…
I’m up to 25 sets, 150+ layers now…
Just finished my fountain w. statue, two tents (complete with shadows, stripes, and holders + wires to hold it in place.
AND… a ****load of bushes everywhere…
In addition to that, I now have a front castle wall (with bricks), “trees” out front, railing, courtyard, grass, water (WITH ducks + duck-reflections), hedges, banners, flags (big + small) and two towers…
and I still need: Booths, people, animals, walkways, more tents, goods, food for the animals, toilets, and a bowling alley =)
I REALLY have my work cut out for me… geez… :sure:
Anyone frightened yet? Except Kit? :beam:
And I’m not kidding about all those things… really… I WILL make them…
<b>thump</b> <i>(sound of me passing out cold on the floor)</i>
Excuse me everyone. I think I need to sit down for a while… In fact, if anyone wants me I’ll be having a nervous breakdown underneath my desk. Please leave a message if you hear me gibbering.
Thanks.
This is the time when I wish I’d come up with a better idea and was a better pixel artist. Damnit. Still, I’m going to try and claim a creative victory by my abandonment of the traditional 3D isometric view and lack of any skill whatsoever in my entry. Conventionality went out the window. I am unique! Mwa ha ha! Victory is mine! :evil:
I am a nut :beam:
And kit, Lost didn’t use the standard isometric view either when he got creamed in a pixel war 
I’m having a blast with my entry! 
Dunno if I’ll win, only by details then… IF…
