Art Contest! Special Holiday Edition! Win Steem!

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)




Welcome back everyone to a special
Holiday Edition
Of
Pixel Art Weekly!!


Due to being under the weather, I skipped PAW last week...sorry.


I'm back this week though, with a fun holiday challenge for you fine artists of steemit.


Christmas is quickly approaching and it's most definitely my favorite time of the year.
I wanted to create a challenge for the holidays that's not only fun but also allows artists of all skill ranges to compete.


So, without further ado, this week's challenge is...
Ugly Christmas Sweater








Your design can have any theme behind it, as long as it feels festive and is done in pixel form.
My personal favorites are gaming related...








Maybe you're more into sci-fi...








Pick your poison and show us your design for the
Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest!!


Depending on the amount of entries, there may be more than one winner.
My top picks will each receive a shirt with their
Ugly Christmas Sweater
design printed on it!
(Yes!! I will print your design and send it to you regardless of where in the world you live!)


The contest begins now.
Submit your entries in the comments below.
On Saturday I will announce my top picks and let the lovely steemit community vote on their favorite.


Ho Ho Ho Fuckers!






Happy Holidays from
Pixel Art Weekly!!


🎅🎄🎄🎅

My entry! This is my first time doing pixel art, but I'm really proud of it :O My boyfriend loves Godzilla, and I love Pacific Rim, so I figured, why not both? Originally was gonna have them fight, but I thought xmas carols was more in the spirit of the holiday(kudos to whoever can catch the little easter eggs i snuck in)

This is ABSOLUTELY what I was looking for!
Fantastic job!

ahhhh thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it!

Nice one! :)

thank you! :D

I need a version of this with a transparent background

Sure thing! I went ahead and made 2. One for a white bg, one for a dark bg (respectively)

Hi Steemians and Jonny! I would kindly like to submit my entry to the "ugly Christmas sweater" contest here:
don't tread on minnow
sweater example
*the sweater template background was taken by Joan Rocaguinard under the cc3.0 share alike liscence.

(sorry for selfvoting, I needed to bump it a bit)
I had fun making this design. this is a bit of funny homage to Americal liberterianism. Also I'm a newbie here too. Hope you guys will find it interesting.
Thanks you for hosting this contest.

I love it!

Thank you very much :)

This looks like an awesome contest! I will patrol the pixel art weekly tag and give a little vote to as many cool ones as I can. That guardians of the galaxy one is my favorite. But the Star Wars one under it is pretty awesome too.

You should enter a design!

Dude I am the worst artist I know. I am not just saying that to be modest. Luckily my self esteem isn't based on my artistic ability... or I' be a wreck. LOL

But I am looking forward to some truly hideous creations.

See you said it yourself... Hideous... Right up your alley!

You should have seen my lousy tree, when @jonny-clearwater was just getting started. atrocious does not even cover it!

Oh please do enter. Would love to have it have a positive effect on others!!!!

Nice post! What will happening, if someone resteem your post?

Awesome idea. Upped and Resteemed... I am thinking about a motive still ;) But I have some ideas already ;)

What part of that didn't you understand?
Don't ask for upvotes nor share your links on other people's posts!

Steem Contests are great! @ackza showed me this and I support all of the steemspeak.com contest giveaways ! I do some contests myself from time to time and they are a GREAT way to get very low cost publicity on this platform. I may end up supporting a future dolphin or whale who I may end up getting upvotes from in the future!

@tytran I definitely agree with you about steemit contests and the publicity it makes. Regarding your contests, I was waiting to see the one for the Nitto Finals. In any case I think everyone or most of the people would have lost because neither Nadal nor Federer were in the finals, Delpotro was 1 win to be there within the 8 finalists, and finally Dimitrov won. Upvoted your comment. @gold84

By the way, it would be great to have your feedback in one of my lastes idea contributions to utopian-io, if you get the chance to chec the one of adding the "Contribution tab or link" to the front-end of steemit, I would be glad to have your thoughts on it.

Sounds like a sweet little contest and I love the prize!

I was kind of wondering the same as @justncase : Is there a programme that you recommend me/ us to use to make pixel art? I could use paint of course ;)

You can literally use just about anything to create art at the pixel level.
If you're looking for something free that's specifically for pixel art, try piskel... https://www.piskelapp.com

cheers jonny, I will check that out. Or, know I think about it, I might just cheat and ask my younger brother - a successful game designer - to make it for me ;)

No shame in that game

He is vacationing on Malta right now, so I don't think it's going to work. Will try my best to create something myself.

That is pretty cool. How do I go about doing pixel art? I think my computer is too advanced for that now.
I look forward to seeing the entries though!

Your computer is definitely not to advanced for pixel art...lol.

sound like fun ;)

This looks like fun! I've always wanted to do pixel art, but didn't know how to go about in psd. I just looked up a tutorial tho, and im literally getting my mind blown :O hoping I can chug out an entry this week!

Excellent !! Its an innovative idea. Designs are so cool. upvote @jonny-clearwater

Five minutes with Google and you'll know all you need to design an amazing ugly Christmas sweater

Oh. Thank you dear.

Upvoted and Resteemed .... Now I am going to go draw something for my submission. Stay tuned.

Ahh! My weakness.. Pixel art & ugly sweaters. xD Now that I took a look at your contests, they're all pixel art related. T-T Aww, man. Even so, I think this is a great contest! Upped & Resteemed!

I run #pixelartweekly

Really would love to see you get in on this one though.
I'll be printing shirts for the top contestants.
Normally the prize is SBD only.

LOL! Prize is a t-shirt! I'm in!
Expect my work in few days :)
