dont worry about the amount of people that will sign up.
i have a few different ideas on how to handle that.
so dont fret overly about the amount of people.
I was more or less curious, if there were suggestions pertaining to the format and such.
Obviously the challenges will be different, but were they too difficult, were they too easy?
Was the way they were set up ok, or should that be changed?
any changes you would like to see for next time

you think only one-week rounds next time helm??
cause people were already finding it difficult with the 2weeks - even those who participated in all the challenges such as mirre and snake.

Oh wait flaber, pixel a trophy! 

Good to hear you're gunna keep working on it snake.

i hope to have it awhole lot more organized next time
with more flare and images and such

this was a test run

anyways - the prize was, that he would have a special title "Im the pixelator" or something along those lines

next time ill try and have it more snazzy with trophies and such
not sure when the next one will be though.
atleast not for a few months for sure.

i agree with that final idea.
The lineart thread is becoming rather disorganized too - its hard to find the lineart.

Id almost suggest - that for the lineart thread, have a mod put all the new lineart on the first post - edit each time a new lineart is added, then delete that post.
That way we dont have to search the whole thread.
Keep them all on one post - anyone can post a new lineart, but then it gets added to the main post and deleted from the single individuals post.
just a suggestion.

however, are we still allowing linearts that had time spent on them and effort to be put up in the main section for critique? I know atleast for me there have been a few things iv put some good effort into, and id hate to loose it just to a 'for fun' thread.

oh,
didnt even think about round 3 to determine the 3rd place.
I was just strictly thinking of the winner.

I posted the entries.
figured i would share them before the official results are done.
The official announcement of the winner will be shortly.

it shouldnt be others initiative to educate
it should be the individuals themselves to learn.

right now its like asking us to go into the middle of downtown and try to preach about pixelart..
most wont listen
alot of people will shrug you off
others will get grumpy for you even talking.

If you want us to go to dA to teach pixelart - thats not going to happen.
In order for people to learn they have to first be interested enough to listen.
If they take that interest, they will find here or pixeljoint much like you did.

this is a specialized art forum where you come delibertatly to learn/practice pixelart.
In any aspect of life - as soon as you get interested or good at something, you specialize into it. Whether it be a career/job, sport, or instrument, you find what you are interested in and go to that.
So if pixelart is whats interesting you or others then come to a specialized place.

dA is everything and anything.
its hard to fine tune anything specific when the board has such a wide horizon and cant focus on any one thing at once.

maby its just us though...
try conceptart or eatpoo. maby they might be more willing to help revolutionize the way natural and CG art go back at dA
hehe
