Pixel Fads Poll

[Lick]

I think the best fad was probably the one with the fighter sprite fad. It was supposed to be a parody on C........'s work. (What's his name?!)
Anyway, I made a clown. Thing is, it was very low pixels (a la low poly) so everyone could join, but it still allowed for much creativity. And back then, I had time, hehe.

I've only ever been involved with one fad, and it started by accident after Kable adopted that bloody awful image I drew as an avatar. Now that was a fad anyone could join because you had to draw 'em as bad as possible...

[Conzeit]

I hated your fad doctor! mind you, when you and Kable did it, it was one hell of a badass statement

afterwards it was just a plauge of bad art

Whatever you think, fads got people pixeling. (Might just have to revitalize some of the older fads!)

My current theory is that it's a subconscious desire to do 'doll' work that makes fads so popular. ~ Peppermint Freud

I rarely join fads, but I finally caved to the current one. I haven't been around here long enough to remember any others, unless you count "style bandwagons" like the random dither style, and the "Only-Use-Teal-Gray-Bronze-Slate-Purple" trend.

I like your "doll" theory, Peppermint Pig, hehe.

Pff! All the art which resulted from it was excellent! See:

on the one hand, I admire it, and along the line join in somewhere (not in the least because it takes time to understand the fad)

on the other hand I say do your OWN thing, be creative don't let yourself get comfortable riding coattails ...

[Darien]

I think fads are a fine and fun way to practice adapting to another style, which help you expand your comfort zone.  Though I don't know if I ever joined a fad... besides the Colin Sick one.

I usually just sit back and watch but I have joined in a few in the past. I remember specifically the Kenneth style portrait one. Oh who was the guy in the 5th row, 3rd from the right in the picture Dr Derek's posted? Wasn't his name like Mr H or something? I seem to remember a lot of popularity with that guy or his art for some time. I wish someone still had that stuff kicking around.

[edit]
Ok I looked around a bit more and found I had some of the Mr. H pieces that Pep had made. Hope it's ok if I post these Pep.




Could have sworn there was more out there.

He's back



Mr.H made some pretty aweful (awesome and awful have a child) art and was a bit of a sensation around 3 years ago I think. That blue-faced dude with red gloves was his avatar.
