No, just a monkey from north pole?

That a seiken densetsu 3 tree? Man, square musta had the maddest pixel artists ever back in them days, SK3 and such ruled *_*

Although you can't really compare a tree to a monkey, because trees are made of like loads of little leaves. In my extremely limited experience, the need for detail can sometimes replace the need for shading and such. Tiny tree leaves are detailed, a spanky monkey with a banana isn't, really =x

Also, no zen, keep it at 15 or else i will perish x_x

I love Tony's.

You are aware that there isn't any penguins on the north pole right? :rolleyes:

Using few colors isn't that hard, it can give a better result in the end than a lot of colors ;) But you might wave goodbye to colored outlines and stick to the black though ;O

hah
 

dont even bother posing anymore entries, for i have won.
it could be betterer, but im ultra lazy right now....so blah

Jello The Monkey!

tahts cute

Black outlines are gross unless used properly. What are you talking about?

Black outlines can infact improve an image if used propperly, and i'm talking about that you would have to use a black outline if you have a lot of difrent colored items on your image, you would use too many colors on the outlines to be able to shade it propperly. And black outlines somehow "focus" the veiw on that area, it and also darken the colors close to the black pixels, black outlines isn't really that bad, they can ruin your shading though ;O

Edit: look at scott's monkey's face, if he had used a colored outline at the areas he's using a black, the face would have become "blured", and it would hard to tell if the jaw is a part of the body or infront of it...

Black outlinings, especially shaded ones, does look awesome in most cases. Using black and a shade of gray you can create a cel-shaded feeling to the picture.

This is what I have got so far, I am currently working on the head.

well I think we should get to use as many colors as we want but have a limit of three shades per color. But I can see how this could be abused..

Wtf, is this what i think it is? x_x

No, just no. You don't need alot of colors.
You don't need them.

No, its a foot. Someone allready tried acusing me of that. PERVERT! :P
And Tony...
You don't need many colors at all, plus thats the point to a challenge, its ment to be a challenge, nothing easy.

In that case, hows my 2nd submission?

Jay Leno...

Thats your opinon.

No, it's the truth. If you're good enough you can get by with this project just fine with 16 colours... It's not THAT complex of a project... Monkeys are brown, bananas are yellow... You only need like 2 colours there... Wow, thats like 7~8 shades for each... Then again, who would want to use 7 shades on a banana?

Awesome job, Matt! I cant wait to see the finished product! :D

no your wrong. You can not judge how many colors are needed for someone else to do their BEST... So don't even try to give me that crap. Of course I can work with the color limit but if it were limitless I could make it a hell of a lot better.

cuz its faster to use more colors.

lolomg cuz brush whoring is such a talent omg lollzomg

....

i blur shadow layers but w/e

edit:
I also didnt read the rules! a little too big lol.

AGHAGHAAGAGFS! You stole my idea of a shades wearing monkey! :O




j/k, looks cool :P

16 colors are plenty enough.

It's in the rules, work with it or don't compete. Simple enough, won't ya say?

(Submission 2)
8 Bit Monkey Adventures.
New for the NES this fall.... >.>

I think they're going for a certain style, which does not require thousands of colors


them's some good monkehs... wait, my name is Chad... o.O

Hey I kind of like that!

scott, graphics are graphics. Everyone has different styles and to insult anothers style just because it is different than yours is foolish and imature.

I sugest you shut your ugly face up. Theres alot more work that goes into the kind of detailed graphics that I do then one would think. So dont you go saying I use a 5 second filter/brush and vala instant graphics.

I know art is art, and everyone is has their own style. However, to include yourself in the pixel art style community by saying you need 657659043 colors is wrong. I've seen wonderful peices of art with brushes, and other tools. Stuff that I know I could never do, without practice. T


In my opinion Butz's NES retro style is one of the best ones here, besides Galdors and Gobooms.

I'm typing, not talking with my face. Also, the cheif comment from Kai is old, get your own lines. Ps. Blur, dodge, and burn tools are not hard work. ^_____^ That robot I did earlier, while it may not be good in my opinion and others, it was bloody easy using those tools to make it look detailed. Atleast when Galdor uses brushes he has a specific style, and it looks good.

Ofcourse, this is a mostly biased post: Don't take it seriously, yo.

Look stop trying to assume the tools I use your fregin ass hat. The way I use them, it is hard work when you want to use them correctly.

Gwharhahaha. *Ganon Laugh*

As some user once posted:

Ok you have just gone from stupid to idotic.

You can type with your face?! That's amazing! You must teach me someday! :D

And donald, it is easy to use brush-like tools... There's no denying it. The restrictions on this contest were placed here for a reason... Because this is a pixel art contest...

That's not the only thing I can type with, sexy. ;)

THANK YOU haunter i was just about to step in and say the same thing

anyone who wants to say that using brushes to color and throw in 5,000 colors instead of 20 requires just as much time and skill... is either lying to themselves and others...or is just a *****

it takes less talent to just throw brushes everywhere....then of course if you wanted you could take the brush strokes and just turn THAT into a lower color piece that looks exactly the same but still XD

the monkey actually played prince of persia (the first version yes :P) and felt in a pit o.o he luckily survived the spike pit (well, more like bar pit) and now hes trapped within bars :( sad eh?, and the guards putted a banana in the pit , >=( the bullies >=(

k?

Oh man, i don't know why, but every once in a while when donald gets angry, i jsut can't stop laughing at his posts, his expressions seem so funny and out of place. Reminds me of one of my friends, who just says the most random things -all the time-, and he never shuts up. He just sits there talking to himself, or anyone, about random things. Like, a bunch of us slept in a tent on friday or saturday or something, and he just wouldnt shut up until like 3am. I got angry at him but i still laughed at everything he said because it was so weird.

Congrats donald, i don't care who's right about how many colours you need to shove up your ass, you're a funny guy :D
