Pixelation

I spy with my little pixel eye, something that begins with the letter 'A'.
Your goal:
Figure out what thing has been spied. It could be anything.
When you think you have the answer, you must pixel it!
Pixeling the correct thing will stop the activity, and the secret will be revealed. The person who guesses right will be declared the winner.
Throughout the week, clues shall be given pertaining to what the thing is.
If nobody figures out the thing being spied with my little pixel eye, then the pixeled image will be revealed at the end of the week and the activity will end.
Rules:
Use a minimum of 4 colors.
Your pixeled image must not be rushed too much.
Winners:
Those who spy the secret pixel thing are invited to pixel the next secret pixel image for the next activity.
You'd be required to supply the pixel image and handful of clues to a moderator so as to set up the next activity.
Please make sure that neither the actual object or the clues are too specific or obscure.
If the invitation is declined, the offer will be open for anyone.

Always lurking around but never had the courage to register in any of these pixel forums, but this thread compelled me to do so.Since I'm already registered I may loose this fear :) (so, hm, yeah, hello! =D)
Anyhow, are we allowed to more than one guess per hint?If we aren't, please, only take this Alf entry ;D

If we are, I'm also willing to make this joke-entry on Australian Bearded Dragon:
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n47/jaolao/ispyaustralianbeardeddragon.gif)
That bunch of pixels are pretending to be the Australian Flag.
-
Anyhow, are we allowed to more than one guess per hint?

It feels smooth & hard

Dammit. I started before the clue came.. but owel.
You know, Ganondorf does feel smooth and ..er hard.. (in a sense of difficulty and style) heh.

An axe?

-
I won't pixel but I think it know it.
Does it involve weaponry?
-
"When you think you have the answer, you must pixel it!"
Dun break the law. The law is law.
I have absolutely no idea what it is, or I'd attempt to pixel it.

-

*involves a slot of some kind
EWW EWW EWW! Thats nasty, mate! :P

Atari?
Congratulations Takai Soyokaze,
You have spied the Atari!
(http://www.finalredemption.com/stuff/eyespy_atari.png)
You are invited to supply the pixel-art and clues for the next eye spy activity.
-
Heh, I knew it right when I heard the 3rd clue.
Umm... when is it, like right now?
-
The next eye spy activity will start on the next saturday from whenever the invitation is completed.
If you wish to pass on the invitation, someone may take your place.
-
okay so the limit is like this friday? I'm in btw...
-
Well done Takai! Wasn't actually what i was thinking of.. lol :crazy:
-
I thought of ATM
-
I thought of ATM
Me too. Couldnt be stuffed pixelling it though.
-
Well...this is useless then.
I thought the letter A :huh: (http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/3002/afi3.gif)
-
Shoot! Was just about to make an Atari. Ah well. congrats Takai. :y:
he obviously has a reference.
In this case, I did compare both pieces of various photos. I checked length and shapes on the 747 and I obviously needed do find out that the heck an Aardvark was.
(Just know it's the first name in the dictionary :crazy:)
I hope you're not referring to tracing though, as I really... really don't like tracing.
I could elaborate my thoughts futher, but it's better if we leave this discussion for a topic more suited for it.
Allrighty. Looking forward to the next item. :y:
-
If a man like snake, who has consistently provided the best critique I've seen in months in pixelation, was cheating with inadmitted tracing, I'd be so extremely disappointed. C'est impossible!
-
I think we can safely assume these are the references, which just prove how good snake is, since they don't help except for general shapes....

cool ill be in on the next on,
btw snake your sprites kick ass :y:
-
Is the new challenge going to be up soon?
-
waiting for Takai Soyokaze to send in his thing and clues.
he can pass his invitation to someone else if he chooses.
I could put a time limit of a week(from when it gets spied) before the invitation becomes open ended.
This would make it Oct 11th his due date.
-
I'll do it if he doesn't want to.
-
Or you could win it and earn it. :P
-
Or you could win it and earn it. :P
That's going to be hard when someone else already won, you should really read the rest of the thread :)
-
I meant win the next time. :-X Great clarification on my part.
-
Friday. Times up. I spy something slimey.
-
megajosh, I believe Takai still has two days left, according to Alex's ruling. Besides, he gets to choose who takes over for him if he does not want to do it. Good that you show interest, but you're jumping the gun quite a bit.
-
Indeed megajosh, this is not how it works. If Takai does not deliver or announce anyone until a certain date a random number generator could help to pick a member.
-
At the start of the next one remember to pm me that extra clue. ^-^
btw I was pixeling a bottle (alcohol) but obviously im tooo late, doesn't even slot in anywhere.. :-[
-
I think ypu should be able to post them after its done (or when a clue has appeared that makes it impossible for your guess to be true) and the one who hosts the ompetition can collect all the answers in the first post so that someone can have a look at all the pretty guesses long after the competition is over.. I mean atleast if you have put down some work into pixeling something but you are just late posting...
-
Takai? Does it take a week to come up with an eye-spy word?????
-
Alex said he had until Friday. But I think for the next time, the winner should have only up to 2-3 days after guessing the object correctly, and either accept and put next guessing item (within said 2-3 days) or pass it onto someone else. Otherwise this activity will die pretty soon.
Edit: typo correction :X
-
Alex did not, in fact, say that Takai had until Friday. He said:
I could put a time limit of a week(from when it gets spied) before the invitation becomes open ended.
This would make it Oct 11th his due date.
So I guess he has until the end of today, then the invitation is "open ended".
-
well lets say he dosent make it... those of you who are really into making it instead should get some hints ready to send to Alex
so we dont have to wait ages before the substitute comes up with something...
-
Alex did not, in fact, say that Takai had until Friday. He said:So I guess he has until the end of today, then the invitation is "open ended".
Ah heh my bad, for some reason I thought it was friday, but I guess I mixed it with something else.
Anyway, anyone willing to be the next one? (or is he still doing it?)
-
ok, times up for takai.. it's been a week.
dogmeat says he could do it, anyone else?
I need one by the end of friday, so i can post the new activity saturday.
I'll need the pixel graphic for when someone spies it, and the clues to give out every day or so.
the first clue does not have to start with a letter.
example: I spy with my pixel eye, something that is blue.
the clues should not be too specific and the spy thing shouldnt be too obscure as to not be guessable.
-
oh well, idc really
I'd rather guess it again anyway
-
next I spy will be up saturday, so all you detectives get ready :)
