Ok, Sumea Pixel Town has been going on for 7 months, and it's almost complete. I think it's time to begin the next pixel activity soon. I haven't prepared anything yet (so don't even start anything - I have to do some guides first), but I'm just letting ya all know that the next one is Sumea Pixel Class!!
Basically, it'll be a Sumea class room and you'll get to do a pixel art of yourself sitting on a chair behind a desk. How you draw yourself, your chair, table and whatever is on it is up to you! The more talented of you can submit animated gifs if you like.
Anyway, like I said, I have to draw some guides, but in the meantime, you can think of ideas of what you're going to do! [:D]
Ok, here's how Pixel Class will go!

This is just an the example of what your submission can look like. Try to place your pixel self in the same spot as the character above. You can change absolutely anything you want, but don't touch or draw over the green parts! Your pixel art HAS to have you in it, and some sort of desk or other object (it doesn't have to be a desk - be creative as you like. It could be you sitting on a toilet for example). Please submit your pixel art as gif files, and yes, you can use animation as well!

This is the floor tiling. Download this and use it as your floor. Don't edit this around the edges though because they kinda need to connect to your next classmate's floor.

This is for people who can't draw too well - use this as your reference. Download it, Delete the red parts and place the floor tiling in another layer below, colour it in / put in any details you like in Photoshop, and you should be right!
I'm still building the page, but as far as placements go, as soon as you finish your piece, then you can choose wherever you want to be placed! And again, be as crazy, zany, funny, creative as you like!
From now on, when you submit your piece, let me know where you want it to be placed by telling me "above left", "above right", "below left", "below right" in relation to someone elses's piece already on the page. Also give me a link to your website or Sumea profile page as well if you want your piece to link to something.
Whats acceptable.. after seeing alot of cut'n'paste art in pixel town.. could I just take a photo of myself, and re-size it?
like this?

(p.s. obviously this isn;t me.. I'ts the closest art I had to cut'n'paste)
A photo would look odd (especially when mixed with the other contributions), unless it was taken from a certain angle.. take a look at the perspective of the example - it has to be from that angle.
Anyway, it's preferred that you pixel it in yourself. Use the example as the base to draw on if you're having trouble!
And come on people, let's get this started.. [:)]
well heres mine thus far...I may add more to it later, cos it is relatively unexciting...

there are a whole bunch of things in this pic so feel free to ask about any of them!
Ok, I'm looking out for those guides Souri!!! But in the mean time have a look at this... I hope 3 frames will be ok. Souri, if this is no good tell me and I'll try an fix it up.

How "restricted" is the 'dont draw on the green area...
I mean, is 1-3 pixels ok.. or none at all..
Do I need to "edit" this:
[img]http://www.users.senet.com.au/~bannistr/art/class002.gif[/img]
Oh sorry guys.. This is going to be a sorcerers desk with a pretty little succubus seated on the left... I'm not sure if I will be seated or crawling under the table.. LOL..
Ok.. I 'tiled' the image over and over.. I figure then that anything that goes into the 'lower green' will be cut off? or are the blue tiles your own background, which has our tables placed OVER it? in which case the lower green would be free for all, but all other tables 'might' cover it.. giving more depth...
as for mine.. I'll pull back the skull heads 2 pixels.. I dont want to cover someone elses brilliance
Heres my homework. I dont think ill have space to animate a hop around but im going to try for a bit of head banging.
ahh cant you just hear those power chords..
hiiiight way to hell da da..da da da...

Hey, are n00b's allowed to try and get in on the action?
[img]http://www.meeze.com/dpm/frames.gif[/img]
...just workin' in the dungeon cuttin' some code.
Sorry, I'll try and get the page up as soon as possible. Been holding off I guess since I was focussed on redoing the site in css layout (god knows how much work I've put on msyelf >.<).
Did I mention that my 19" monitor made a buzzing sound then gave a loud "poof", followed by some smoke on Friday? [:(] I went out and bought a new 19" Flatron LG for $340, and goddamn, it is so bright and clear. I'm not used to the screen being so bright that I find myself squinting a lot of the time. I can put the resolution up to 2048x1536 ..[:0]
That's a mighty fine and clever piece you did there, mcdrewski [:D]
Actually, this might match the style a bit better.
Go impossible desk!

Just need to draw some pixel art walls/windows/tiles etc so it looks more like a room.
From now on, when you submit your piece, let me know where you want it to be placed by telling me "above left", "above right", "below left", "below right" in relation to someone elses's piece already on the page.

Here?s my desk. [8D] I?m just chillin? playing some old school console games:
[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/palantir/200410147635_palantirs_…]
I don?t care much where I sit since I?m too busy playing games to notice people around me [;)]. But some cool tunes would be good to play to, so next to Angus would be great! [:D]
I suppose it should link to my profile (not that I've posted any more work since I joined [^]): http://www.sumea.com.au/sprofile.asp?member=277
ooooOOOOOH im likin this
question, will it be set out in orthographic view? because unless the desks are placed pretty far apart there will be a LOT of overlap. Atleast im guessing there will... we shall see >.> <.<
