[Collab] Pixel Poster Reboot

[Ashman]

The Idea
just under a year ago, Charlie started the pixel poster collab, it got off to a great start, got a fair few submissions then sort of fizzled out and never saw completion, my aim is to get this done

What you can do
theres 2 things you can do for this collab
make people to populate this pixel cityscape, for this there is a few templates you can use
Hand down
Hand up
Both down
Both up

or

you can make isometric buildings/scenery for this collab, size should be proportionate to the people so keep that in mind, heres an isometric grid to help out, and heres a huge one, light source should be from the top left to fit with the rest from the old thread

-all work must be your own
-post work here, and link to a higher quality version in the dumping ground if necessary
-PNG would be the best bet for high quality, with transparency on
-if not jpg or gif at full quality in the dump
-pixel art can be done in any program, photoshop is the binary brush, flash has a plugin for it
-ms paint is allowed, but graphicsgale would be the best free option

the work will be compiled into a flash poster, similiar to this

and heres the original thread in case you want to check it out

Deadline somewhere near the end of april, since iv already got a few submissions

the pencil tool

[Luwano]

Also in GIMP you can use the pencil tool and choose "pixel (1x1 square)".

I really think of attempting a building, but I can't promise anything.

[Kinsei]

.PSD

the glassy stuff on the corners look weird imo

nice texture though, did you make it yourself?

Yeah... the window on the far right is messed up as well... but SHH don't tell anyone.

Yeah.... but it's pretty easy... I'm sure even a trained monkey could do it....

Ok now the Wave of the future.... Flying Hot Dog Stands.... I mean, how do we even expect to survive with out these walking health violations......

Our little guys have got to eat some how......

Also a small hot dog is on it's own layer in case anyone wants to give their little character one...

[Kinsei]

I think I may have to revisit this one..... but in case I don't. Here....

Reports have just been confirmed. Kinsei has no alcohol and is keeping his mind off of that fact by pumping out pixel art.

Bull, I made a Pixel Pika in the old thread almost a year ago (last post on the page). I can remake it if it's not good enough, although with a poster with so much stuff on it, I don't think the little mistakes will be that noticeable.

Thanks :)
So you would have the 'ff' right over the door? The text would have to be smaller but it might work..

[DerangedDuck]
