Look and Pixel Competition

[Delicify]

I was a bit bummed that I didn't win when I read the article, but I was in tears when I saw the wining entries. I thought it was common knowledge that MS Paint's spray paint tool isn't a good way to go with pixel art...

I know it's not the best, but I was hoping it would win one of THIRTY spots.

In all honesty I didn't know what it was until I took a good look at it. Would have benefited with a higher contrast.

Where can I see the top 30?

I'm bummed that they picked a cloud for the winning design.

[Delicify]

You just have to look at the list on Habbo Stories of all the submitted and compare it to the winner's list. There are only about 2 good ones that anyone would ever wear.

[MKR&*42]

SOME OF THOSE DESIGNS... NO NEARLY ALL THOSE DESIGNS ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE HOW DID SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WIN WHAT THE HELL.

Anyway, although yours is considerably better than a few others it still seems a bit 'blurry'. Higher contrast is the way to go (as db has said).

[Delicify]

I clicked pixel by pixel... I'm kind of confused as to how it came out blurry. Any tips?:S

some good some bad ones

Don't save as JPEG. That actually might be why I had trouble seeing what it was.

I'm actually appalled by the quality of some, no most, of these entries. Most of these wouldn't even worse as designs in hotel so why the hell they were picked is ******* ridiculous and if I had entered this competition and lost I would be outraged.

[MKR&*42]

^^ Yeah I realised that when zooming in haha. It's Sulake's fault for the .jpg partly as in their article theyve put example as "______.jpg" when you're actually allowed to use any extension i'd imagine.

The outline around the eyes and the mouth was too light, it nearly blended in with the duck itself hence why it was so faint - this might have been down to .jpg, but just in case it was you yourself who did it - compare these 2 ducks:

much easier to tell the eyes and the beak or w.e. on the left one than the right. Also the eyes looked weird imo so i made it so they were both looking another direction >.

no the duck's not meant to be perf jus proving a point :P

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind. What's a better format? I have it saved as a .png aw well but I didn't really compare the two.

I used MS Paint to make that screenie... haha. I use it for quick cropping for pictures like that or before moving pictures to GIMP.

This is what I'm dissing.

You just dissed a Habbox staff's work :P.

Yours is ok, but a lot of people did ducks - also looking at the entries, why is yours posted like 10 times?

not even sorry.

I think it's because I uploaded it multiple times on accident because I got an error message. Staff told me to reupload until I didn't get the message, so... Lol

From an old episode of a tv show "Spitting Image", i can find it on youtube if you like? It's relatively funny i find.

Just now saw this, thank you so much! This helps a lot. Yeah, I did that myself because I was scared I wasn't shading enough. I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks again.

Not a completely terrible graphic, better than some of those entries at least lmao :P.

Absolutely fine :) And I meant up there don't do the duck cross eyed opsie :P

Well I massed that the winners were not that good and that they weren't really 'add ons' and more full t-shirt designs and Sheba replied saying the staff vote in competition and that's what came out on top (those 30). I'm not that bothered of losing, I'm just more offended that a cloud won.

I agree, and it's kind of a big deal too, seeing that the winning design is going to be added to the clothing line.

[DryRash]

Not too sure what this look and competition thing was about as I have not been on Habbo for a while.
However if it means who ever won we got to wear that thing... Then who the hell doesn't want to wear a duck :D
I like the design well done :)

[Liva]

You've done well, but I wouldn't be disheartened by it. Winners always aren't accurate, and there may be a reason behind it but it won't be mentioned. Just like the previous comp, they wanted an invitation and all the winners had habbo people included in them but it wasn't specified at all. Just keep trying, that's all you can really do. :)

Habbo have never been fair with the winners of competitions and stuff like that. They seem to choose the same few people for the winners of each competition. That's just habbo for you I suppose.

Good graphic though!

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the competition though? You had to take a selfie to win, right?

Nope, this was an old competition where we had to design a T-shirt print.
