Open battle. FK Pixel Town

[mr_malee]

Rules:

Updated - 24 Jan

-Cannot modify someone else's creation, this includes deleting it. Objects can only overlap parts of other objects
-volleys must add to the previous image, let your imagination run free
-added objects must be pixelated (no photos)
-provide a breif description of your creation in your volley post
-image size can be extended from 800x500 (don't go to crazy though)
-submit images as a .png (compression should be avoided to preserve colours and quality)
-Copy the image to your computer rather than copy and paste before editing the file. This preserves colour

so who can build the best friggen pixel town FK has ever seen. Here's the serve. Its not very creative, hopefully someone will volley something better.

I can provide the .psd if necessary



Malee's takeaway restaurant is a nice place to wine and dine with loved ones.

He he - nice idea mr. malee

[nordberg]

wow, great idea, and possibly a first here in the arena.

JUST THE VOLLEYS - PAGE ONE
JUST THE VOLLEYS - PAGE TWO

[mr_malee]

yeah, i guess so. I'm new to this dark corner of FK so i don't really know the trends

[DaVulf]

I'm guessing that everyone adds to this, right? So that by the end we have a huge metropolis going on?

Wicked idea Malee. I'd like to join this eventually.

[JWin]

this is amazing! Maybe I'll do somethin after the steelers game today

[lefteyewilly]

hey Mr Malee...do you have any resources on how to make pixel images, just in case someone wants to join, but has never done such an image?

[DaVulf]

I found this link, it seems to have some pretty good information.

[silverx2]

if you guys dont mind ill make the next building



the cloud is far away so it looks small.

[mr_malee]

thats cool silver, i'm working on something right now.

the secret's in the shading and lighting lefteye, start with something simple. I'm always constantly zooming in and out when making pixel art, because the smallest change can have a dramatic effect.

this is an excellent image for reference *NOT VOLLEY *



nice link daVulf

[mr_malee]

Citizens rejoice over newly constructed FK monument, one guy enjoys a tasty beverage from malee's while he admires the giant Domo

[Dave-O]

really good idea, can't wait to see how it looks next week

[mr_malee]

When there's a few buildings i might crack out some godzilla action

[JWin]

jwinmedia erects the first skycraper in FK town (hehe, I said 'erect')

[mr_malee]

thats prime real estate right there.

hey just thought of another rule. try and keep the images .gif, this elimates those jpg compression dots all over the place. So I don't suppose you could update that image jWin to a .gif?

[>flashl!ght<]

let me know when thats properly giffied, i am ready to lay down my volley

great battle idea BTW, has serious potential.

one concern though: the background is a gradient. The more stuff gets added, the harder it is going to be to try and keep that gradient unbanded. Eventually I expect it will be pretty much impossible, unless we limit the pallete. I'm guessing that's why JWin made his a JPG?

[JWin]

give me two shakes of a monkey's arse
./edit
good to go

Not sure what you mean, can't you just create a new layer in photoshop and then when your done with your object just merge the layers. Don't save the image to the harddrive, simply copy it and paste it in a new document in photoshop. Hope that helps

EDIT - good to go >flashl!ght<

[JWin]

jwin made his a jpg cause he doesn't know whats going on

worst comes to worse every 20th image we extract all but the sky and lay it over the original?

[nordberg]

for the health of our netizens, we need to keep some green spaces around...looks at jwin. maybe we can keep the shrine the city park. all you big city developer types can go fly a kite!



<<EDIT>>hey, you guys did a bunch of talkin' and postin' while i was making that.
flashy, if you need me to move my kite, just let me know.
