I Spy With My Little Pixel Eye.. (Sep 30 - Oct 7)
« on: September 30, 2006, 12:24:36 am »
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:



That bunch of pixels are pretending to be the Australian Flag.

Dun break the law. The law is law.

I have absolutely no idea what it is, or I'd attempt to pixel it.

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:
