Wow, I love this initiative - pixel art is really cool. I look forward to seeing the entries.

Okay, here it is:

It's so bright.... Love it!

😁Thanks!😁

When I was a teenager, I would dream about the day we would have touch screens as I sat making datapad art in Paint.

I am in like Flynn :)

Hey creator. How's life on the ban list ;p?

It is hella a good. Now I move on to the other fishes....scammers beware -- I am digging deeper now.

I'm hoping his fall from 800+ dollars to less than a red lobster meal on his post is enough to discourage most scammers that would come on here.

There are more on here than you realize... but I will start writing more once @steemitqa has the daily paper up :)

What are we referencing ?
Or...who for that matter

Sorry :) it has been a doozy of a 12 plus hours.

His rep is a whole 1 right now

Interesting.
Now let's keep this about pixel art 😃

I love this contest so much! @tomekkk had a beautiful idea with the connected universe thing, so I paid homage with a lil hook of my own

#PixelArtWeekly

Oh shit... Animated
Bonus cookies!

Do me a favor and make an edit with the hashtag PixelArtWeekly
Thank you

will do :)

Added a bit more for fun's sake :p

That is some quality material right there, I love the fact that the octopus is eyeing out the hook :]
Good work @circuitshark

Thanks so much, tryin to fall headfirst into the pixels.Might edit in your fish for continuity, if you dont mind anywho v:

No worries, use as you please.

that darn octopus keeps getting in the way of fisho. drat!

lol that is great ;D

This is awesome and I already have my pixel octo done! However when you say put it in the comment, do you mean upload it to a site like imgur and post the link?

Post it in the comments so the image appears
You can use any hosting site of your choice

Or you can drag and drop if your browser allows...I use steemit from my phone and can't do that personally... So I use photobucket to generate image urls

Ohhh thank you very much for the help! I'm sorta new still.octo for prize.png There you go!

Oooh this looks great!
Any chance you can resize it or perhaps get a screenshot of it larger?
When and if it comes to votes, I want people to really be able to see your work!
Love it!

octo so bigg.png
Alrighty, tell me if that's too big. I either work on a tiny scale or a giant scale hehe. Thank you for being so kind I'm really not used to how nice people can be on this site!

Fantastic!!!
It's excellent!!

Also...you have till Friday if you'd like to try and animate it.
I give bonus cookies for animated gifs

Cool, I'll try my hand at it, but I might not get to finish on time.

You till Friday early evening

So the computer and I agreed that I need more practice.... like lots more practice.

I shall remain silent.

Oh no.. go ahead... do your worse :) I at least made a pixel art. Can we maybe start on a learning curve... maybe a square or circle LOL next time?

No no the effort alone....I'm speechless
😘

I will gladly participate. I want others to see that you have to develop a talent -- this includes their posts on steemit ;)

Here goes nothing! First try at pixel art :D

Fantastic first effort!

Thanks!

That is awesome! I love the octopus :)

GREAT IDEA!

However...

What if I don't like the theme?
What if I submit something that isn't an octopus?
What if it's better than everything else?
Can I submit it every week?
Should I stop asking stupid questions?

Also, can you link to previous week(s)?
Also, also, what was the prize?

Also, also, also, most importantly, can you recommend a good upload image site that I can still retain all my rights, and possibly earn from?


For example, I designed my pixel art avatar.

His name is "Ottopush".

And I've got more... never seen by the public, ever, anywhere.

My desktop wallpaper, shrunk here by Steemit, has a background pattern of pixel art:


Out of luck if you don't like the theme.
It isn't.
No.
Always ask questions.

https://steemit.com/art/@jonny-clearwater/weekly-pixel-art-contest-winner
I can't think of one.

Thanks. I had already found them today and realized I had seen them before. I meant for you to include those links in your post, say at the bottom, for everyone else, say as incentive, publicity, or something.

Also, shouldn't you wait a week for all the votes to roll in?

What are you talking about in regards to waiting...the post clearly describes how the contest works...votes are only counted over the weekend.

Why? That seems short.

You could overlap - In 1 week you could have 3 posts for 3 contests at 3 different stages: a) theme announcement, b) voting, c) winner announcement.
In this way each of your posts could collect votes and be interactive for a whole week and each contest would actually last 2 weeks plus a congratulations week.

Maybe I'm just talking out my ass. Or thinking with it. I dunno.

Just trying to help.

Nah... Only because I really don't have to let anyone vote... I'm simply doing it for the additonal interaction...to help it build some following.
Besides, with steem contests, people like to win and get paid quickly, not wait weeks for it.
Besides...I literally just started it...as it grows, I'll make changes if I see the need.

It's a week long contest.
You have from Monday to Friday.
People can vote Sat and Sun.
Winner announced Sunday night
Rinse and Repeat.

Silky smooth.

Octopus is interpretive however...for example you could do doc ock.
Either way, you got some pixel in ya...so enter the contest!

Me, by me.
I don't have pixel in me.

I AM pixel!

(Hear me bore.)

So figure something out for 'Octopus' and win some steem.
Bring your talent to the table.
Your suggestions are appreciated btw...my answers are a lil short because I'm at work.

meh beh

What's the best image hosting site?

You'd think it'd be easy. They're all rigged. Seems like you've gotta own your own.

Pretty much.

OMG!!! It's sooo cuteee
