I don't have time for a smoother animation, maybe another time :)
Edit: decided no moon :D
Will work on the post of how I made this now ^^ Didn't want to be late :D
That animation is very sufficient
x3 version
Open in new tab for better preview
Maybe better without the moon?
Wow ... at a loss for words.. This is EPIC !
My name is Cthulhu - #pixelartweekly entry
Original post
aw yeah man, it's like babyCthulhu ... just like babyGroot ... it's awesome!. The bar is set !
Love it!
Please add a 1x version of this to your entry.
Thanks
ok
So cute! :D
Great job.
Here's my entry for this week :)
link to my wip/entry post!
You know what I think of this awesome piece girl. Common, show me the flat one Do eet. Dooo eeet nooaw !! (say this in an Arnold voice)
the flat one? like the one without shading?
YES ! this (to me at least) is so much better than the one with bevel&emboss ... it's an awesome design
thank you! I spent a lot of time on it :)
Great job. The depth and layers in the tendrils is what I loved the most.
Thank you :)
Hey Guys! Was really fun doing this theme.
Here's my entry for this week:

Hope you like it!
Cheers,

Without background :)
Cool beans. May I advise you to go smaller next time ? Have the smallest eye build of 2x2 pixels max ! If you start small, you won't get lost on those large surfaces and what to do with them (lots of flat shaded areas right now). Just some friendly advise. awesome entry nonetheless
That's a great advice. Thank you :)
Will keep it in mind next time.
But I'm happy u like it anyway. :D
Love it
Yay thanks :D
I am Cthulhu
I just cannot resist these awesome themes .... must resist next time !!
small wip build up animation over here
view at 100%
view at 200%
Love it!! :D
Thanks 😊. Would've been great if I was able to animate the tendrils, but no time this week.
Very cool. The highlights and shading is on point.
This was fun wish I had more than a day to work on it. I can't wait till next weeks.
Essence of Cthulhu. Well done.
Thank you.
ok so hows this ?? @jonny-clearwater & @eqko >>
lol , this was fun animating this ! Cthulu be like " so ?? what do you want kid ?? (blink blink , sniff sniff ) " lol awkward stare.
completely pixel painted from scratch , no reference image , no tracing !
here is a link to my original blog post
oh and also @jonny-clearwater @eqko ....... in context to .... "I always prefer when one of the contest regulars calls bullshit. Gives it that "community" feel." ...... here is a work in progress :
and i have a strong feeling that by putting this comment here i may be shooting myself in the foot for this contest, but agree with it or not , photobashed and photomanipulated pixel art exists , is out there and professional artists use photo-manipulation techniques now at a single pixel level too !!! just sayin' !!! you agree or not , its still pixel art, i may not have done it well myself, but it should be explicitly mentioned in the rules at least , and if its not , then check yo rants !!! of course photo-bashed matte paintings may not be as valuable as real hand-made art , but that also seems to depend from client to client. Its just all about how it looks right ? at least now i hope you know i'm a genuine profile and not here to bullshit anyone anywhere ! ban me from this contest for all i care.
Not shooting yourself in the foot. This entry is great.
Your first entry was neither an original piece of art nor "pixel art" as per the contest description, which includes a link that clearly defines pixel art.
Glad you stuck it out though and turned in a new entry.
ok sure thanks , i understand how it wasn't original because i used that image. but still just saying,
what do you think of this one ?? Photomanip of a 3D modelled spaceship render specifically made for different angles in pixel art !!!
looks like a cool art challenge. Wish I did pixel art. Always wanted to, perhaps I will try it some day in the near future with one of your pixel art themes that I just won't be able to resist. I'll keep a look out on your page.
When it gets down to pixel art, that @kristyglas is straight-up GaNgStA!
Thank you xD
Still doesn't compare to your insanely detailed steemit pixel art train haha :D
very nice :)
I just learned a shit load about an art form i wasnt familar with. Thanks for sharing. I dont think im ready to join your contest, but now i have a great level of respect for the art form.
who's to say you're not ready. Give it your best shot. It's all about the fun of creation man. Do it. You know you want to !!
Congratulations I'm sure you worked your hardest turn @jonny-clearwater approval
Omg!! I was going to sit out this week so it's more fair to everyone, but the theme is too good! o.o
I wanna see @eqko @overkillcoin @circuitshark @nanosesame @mrslauren and @kristyglas battle it out
I'm sure you would. But you have me otherwise chained up in work brother ! Maybe I can sneak in a little entry like I did with Bugs ... we'll see ...
Found my cute old little sculpture that I made ages ago :D
Cthulhu survived all those ages ago!
:D
Congratulations! :)
Thank you! :D
Wow great Theme @jonny-clearwater! :D
Here is my entry for this weekly !!!
Cthulhu !!!!! :D :D :D
here is a link to my Entry post !
hope you all like it ! any comments and criticism is most welcome :)
@jonny-clearwater , did i do this right ? also @RawbinHutt made me notice this weekly contest
@eqko
Thoughts?
Thoughts are that if his real name is not Dominic Qwek then this is an invalid entry and plagiarism to boot. It would be invalid anyways, since it's an upscaled image instead of truly self pixeled.
I always prefer when one of the contest regulars calls bullshit. Gives it that "community" feel. 🤓
no upscaled photo-manip pixel art gif entries ?
this is the image that i used. Only pixel painted pixel art from scratch ?
lol , more i think about it , the more i feel it should be disqualified. Meh , 'twas fun making Dominic's Cthulu sneeze pixels nonetheless haha. shall i delete these comments and the post ?
Yes, only original pixel art made from scratch, no upscaled photomanipulations or anything. Also, if you DO use some sort of 1:1 reference for your pixelart, share the source from the get-go (i forgot this too once)
Wow! so many awesome Chthulhu´s, too bad i just found this pixel art contest :s
There are only a couple entries so far and you have till tomorrow night.
Maybe next time! Great contest man!
Here is my entry :)
https://steemit.com/pixelartweekly/@dksart/cthulhu-pixel-art
I learn something new each week. There are some great entries so far.
I don't understand why my entry is not included in the top 3 @jonny-clearwater, because of the votes...but anyways, great entries from all of u guys! :)
The top entries are selected by myself personally.
Votes only matter once the top entries have been selected.
Hope you don't feel discouraged.
Your entry was great, especially for someone new to pixel art.
Keep at it
Ah okay i See! :) I do understand your choice, I just thought the votes decide which work is under the top 3. But since there is a contest every week I just have to try harder next time ;) Love your contests!
We're really happy to have you be a part of them.
Practice makes perfect.
People like @eqko will often give some advice and it's usually very good.
