I think I've got the head done
quite a tedious process, plus you have to keep in mind the final product is displayed at 50%.. lots of over AA needed

Only complete entries (with all the information as requested below) will be accepted as a submission. Entries will be accepted between May 16, 2007 and May 31, 2007 (the "Contest Period"). No other methods of entry will be accepted. Only one entry per name and email address will be accepted. All entries become the property of THQ and will not be returned.

So are we sending in character designs in along with the pixels, or are these automatically being converted to hi-res JPEGs for us?  :-\

Heh, i remember hearing about this. 

Your buddy, eh?  That Jeremiah guy?   He was talking about hiring me as an assistant background artist and they suddenly stopped responding halfway through wage negotiation, nobody ever told me why.  I'm not holding a grudge or anything, i just thought it was very strange >.<.

Its an interesting project no doubt, if a slight bastardization of the pixel art aspect ^^
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Er... Instead of asking us, ask IGN as they are holding the contest.

I wasn't so much asking as pointing it out, but, yeah, I probably should ask and find out for sure...

The contest was supposed to be over like 2 weeks ago... I wonder what happened?  ???
I guess I'll post my entry if I don't hear anything about the contest in a couple of days... Did anyone else submit anything?
