    Ryugotchi Scene Creation Contest


    Ryugotchi Scene Creation Contest

    After some light arm twisting, Bat has given this contest the green light. Hooray!

    The concept: propose a new scene (background) for our Ryus. Entries will be judged on creativity by cK staff, and the winning one will be added as a Ryu background, live on cK!

    The challenge begins today and closes on February 2, 2021, at midnight NST.

    Rules

    • One entry per person
    • Entries must be 158x20 pix in size, submitted in .GIF or .PNG format. (Do keep your source file on hand, as Bat may need it if you win!)
    • Entries must use 8-bit colors. (you need an account to see links) is a 256 8-bit palette site as an example (it also helps you find colour harmonies!)
    • Entries must be created from scratch (no copied resources; if you use general references, please link them)
    • Entries must abide by classic pixel art principles (more on this downthread, but for example, no transparent or semi-transparent pixels, no fuzzy brushes)
    • Entries must abide by the (you need an account to see links)
    • The winning design may be modified before final implementation in the forum


    Pixel art tips and tricks

    Nothing too complicated here - we shan't delve into heated pixel purist ideology debates or do too much gatekeeping. New pixel artists are very welcome! To make sure we're all on the same page for these creations, as the Ryu scenes have a specific pixel art aesthetic, (you need an account to see links).

    In the context of this wee contest:

    • Try to use a fairly restricted colour palette in your piece
    • Whatever your drawing tool is, make sure it's set to zero transparency or maximum opacity (e.g. pencil tool at 100% opacity in Photoshop)
    • Most pixels should be hand-placed (but we are not such fusspots that floodfills or other shortcuts are disallowed, just make sure those tools don't fuzz up your edges)
    • Don't use your program to add lighting/shadow/particle effects; keep it crisp and hand-crafted
    • Use the pencil tool, or equivalent hard brushes to keep your art pixel-perfect. Avoid using any soft brushes, scaling tools or filters which may muddy your work. Pixel art is about paying specific attention to the placement of each pixel.
    • You don't need fancy programs - MS Paint will do perfectly

    Existing scenes, for your inspiration: compiled by @(you need an account to see links) (you need an account to see links)!

    Any questions, praising peoples’ entries, etc., can be made right here on this thread. When you are ready to submit your entry, please use the (you need an account to see links).

    Can't wait to see what you come up with!



    Credit and love to @(you need an account to see links) for the Ryu gif dividers!

    Ooooh, this is exciting. Thanks for hosting and I'm glad it gets to happen! Have a couple of super vague ideas, so let's see if I can pull it together to make something that makes sense and also do pixel art for the first time.

    Hell yes, I'm off to the drawing board then!

    Recommending Aseprite as THE BEST pixel art software there is just in case anyone needs something better than Paint! It's not free but it's absolutely worth the money
