Ryugotchi Scene Creation Contest

[LibraryFaerie]

My inspiration for this came from my grandparents. My grandfather bought a balloon ride for my grandmother on their 40th anniversary as a surprise. The entire family was at the field when she was brought in. It was and always be an amazing memory for me.

Oh wow, I am actually tearing up picturing this. How romantic! What a lovely story, thank you for sharing!

I know at the beginning of this I tagged a few of you, so apologies if I’ve gotten you twice! I wanted to wait until this ended to go back and acknowledge everyones scenes!

@(you need an account to see links) , I still can’t get over how realistic and amazing yours look! As the first scene entered in this, the bar was set high!

@(you need an account to see links) Such a lovely aesthetic and idea! I really love the branch off to the left and the blossoms floating across the scene. It gives off such a peaceful vibe.

@(you need an account to see links) I love the shading of the sand and how much depth it gives this! For a small bar it really feels like a vast desert scene!

@(you need an account to see links) This scene is the embodiment of 2020-2021, and its done so perfectly. Its hard to believe this is your first time with pixel art, the level of detail is amazing!

@(you need an account to see links) Your entry is so lovely! You’ve fit an entire rainbow into that bar, not an easy feat, and the little clouds are such a nice touch!

@(you need an account to see links) This looks EXACTLY like the piece its based off of, and its badass! Love your entry so much, super well done!

@(you need an account to see links) Your scene is SO enjoyable! I love the honeycomb pattern and that we have to make a pun in order to unlock. Super creative ^^

@(you need an account to see links) Your entry as well as the ones that 'didn’t make the cut' are all just so detailed and gorgeous!

@(you need an account to see links) Vapor City is a place id love to live, the aesthetic is so cool! The dithering (I think that’s the word) on the sunset is so well done!

@(you need an account to see links) Your unlocking method is so creative, and a good challenge fitting of your scenes name! I really enjoy the faint glow some of the mushrooms give off and the overall vibe of your entry!

@(you need an account to see links) Ahh! This has me so nostalgic right now. (Sonic 2 is hands down the best one) Your scene is SO detailed and honestly I wouldn’t have been able to tell it apart from the game if I hadn’t known it was a scene! So well done!

@(you need an account to see links) Your scene is so wonderful, it feels like were about to get lost in a nebula! The shading in the sky is gorgeous, I can imagine the little stars twinkling away! Lovely entry!

@(you need an account to see links) I am so in love with your scene! The colors you chose are perfectly fitting of a sunrise. The more you look the more detailed this becomes, from the webbing on the bridge to the glow of the lamps! Very cool and very well done!

@(you need an account to see links) All of your entry ideas have been so unique, and Amongst The Lotuses is no different! The shading of the water is a really cool touch, I feel like im waiting to see a Koi Fish swim out from under one of the Lotuses at any moment!

@(you need an account to see links) Oh my gosh, I love the title! ‘Its a-Me’ is perfect! Love this scene so much, it takes me right back to some fond childhood memories. Well done! ^^

@(you need an account to see links) So much a e s t h e t i c ! The columns and bust are spot on, I can’t believe you only used SIX colors?! SO impressive!

@(you need an account to see links) Your entry is so light hearted and whimsical! The details on the balloons is so lovely and well done! I really enjoy your entry ^^



It is SO hard not to just sit and gush over all of these. Everyone has created an amazing entry, and every one of them is one I'd love to see my Ryu be able to use! The creativity here never ceases to amaze me. ♥

The thread isn't locked, but we're definitely passed the deadline so I'm doing this!

@(you need an account to see links)

You really started things off great here. It�s so good and I love the idea of an underwater scene!

@(you need an account to see links)

Cherry blossoms are so beautiful and I love how you captured them. That soft pink, love it.

@(you need an account to see links)

Yours is so fun, loving the pink/blue combo and even if you claim not to be an artist, I like it!

@(you need an account to see links)

Can I just say what a fucking mood? A+

@(you need an account to see links)

I just really love the vibe of this, exploring there seems like it�d be so much fun and particularly love the aide of green you used for the background.


@(you need an account to see links)

Gimme all the rainbows, thank you.

@Aero

Holy shit, I�m so impressed with your ability to capture The Great Wave so well. Damn!


@(you need an account to see links)

I love honeycomb patterns so I�m all for this one. Plus I like the idea of more patterned backgrounds overall.


@(you need an account to see links)

Another really great capture of real-world art. I also have to say I�m in loooove with your ink/purple cloud one. I hope you can reuse it for something.

@GreyFaerie

Love this aesthetic, love the colors, love the concept. Plus you made a moving Ryu bar to go with it!

@Ariealle

I�m sooo glad you ended up going with the purple, it looks so nice. I love how glow-y you were able to make it! Plus mushrooms are cute.

@Alister

Holy details, hard to believe that�s only 3,160 pixels, which I guess sounds like a lot, but seriously color me impressed.

@(you need an account to see links)

This one is really fun, I love the idea of a Ryu being in space and I love the way you did the background!

@Danny Phantom

Love how you were able to do both a repeated pattern while still representing a place for our Ryu to be. Plus the color palette!

@(you need an account to see links)

I should really cut back on the self-deprecation so I�m just gonna say A+ 10/10 perfect colors you�re a star.

@(you need an account to see links)

Very on brand and love the idea of our Ryu being in a video game level!

@Digipoop

Holy shit impressed with how much depth you were able to capture in so little space. You really captures the vaporware mall feel and the colors are to die for.

@Beth77

Yours is so fun. I�ve always wanted to go up in a balloon ride, but have never had the chance, but I�ve seen a swarm of them a couple times and it�s always so cool, love how you captured it!

at-everyone

I just really love this and am proud of it and love how everybody just carved out a little corner. Thanks for indulging in my project. I know it�s not a real entry, but I�m proud of it and love y�all.

And thank you for that great project!
After my initial little carve out (the weird little green moth that is) it was this very project that was my first test in actually making the BG i made (jep that upper right corner was obviously me again :p)

why is this the cutest little doodley thing ever? love this little piece of history / signatures (of a sort) of those who were around for this contest. thank you again for making it possible, kitty, i know i've yelled at you a lot about how much i adored this concept and i still do *heartglow*

just scrolling through the submission thread and honestly floored at the talent, creativity, and skills on display. any one of these would make a perfect ryu backdrop. and yes, the deadline has come and gone - and so now we await judgement. can't wait to see what emerges from the mod squad's challenging deliberations. godspeed

[Anybody]

These submissions are fantastic! Good job to all, I’d love to have any as a background!
I started work on a submission myself, but got discouraged and didn’t submit. I think my mistake was jumping into pixel style and a tiny canvas without doing a rough sketchy version to determine colours/placement first. I’ll look forward to future contests

Thank you so much for creating this project kitty! I honestly had the best time mucking around in here and it turned out into such a cute little pixel mural, I love it!

I absolutely loved the project you created. I was able to pixel around and made the ladybug, so it helped me with my entry. Thank you so much for creating it.
I would love to see it as a collective bonus scene!

Aww thank you! But I didn't save anything. I tried making a little cabin in a forest with a tiny lake If CK ever hosts another competition I'll try it again! ^^

[♥ GreyFaerie ♥]

I feel like a thousand years have passed since the contest started! But since we are past the deadline, I am going to share the other drawings that I did.
I'm ashamed to admit how many hours I spent making them but I was sorry that this was left in a dark corner of imgur. I was tempted to post them all together but was afraid of discouraging someone if they saw that their idea was done.
