BREAKING NEWS, guys!
We are changing the date! :P
I sort of forgot about CARNAVAL and set the date not thinking that we all would be partying and dancing and wearing our beautiful costumes (or not) for the past days, so...
QUEST002 will be postponed to next Wednesday, the 25th!
Sorry about that, folks! :D

Walkr galaxy adventure in your pocket
This is a game I've been playing for some time now and the art is really lovely and fitting to the quest002, which is why I'm sharing this game here.
Walkr is more of a gamefication app for fitness rather than a game itself, but as I've been playing it without really exercising I can't say much about it...
The main objective of the game is to explore the universe and discover new planets, you are able to do so by collecting food produced by your DFRs (Dynamic Food Replicator), feeding the planets you already discovered in exchange for goods, and with the products you gain money to finance your explorations.
When you walk with Walkr active on your cellphone, you gather energy that you can use to accelerate all timers inside the game.
The art is constructed using vectors without contouring, bright colours and a funny design to the alien creatures and planets. I recommend watching the intro video.

Second Quest!
Hello there, Players! :D
Sorry I'm late with the challenging! The good side of that is that we ended up having some extra time to have more posts on the First Quest! :D
Success!
For our Second Quest, I would like to get to know you guys even better! So how about we talk about our favorites a little?
The challenge is to draw some of your favorite ITEMS from some of your favorite GAMES! Right? Not gonna come up with a lot of numbers as I thought, 'cuz it doesn't feel right to say "Gimme 20 drawings from five games!" or anything like that... Some of us might not even have that many favorites anyways!!!
But I will specify it a little bit more:
- Draw ITEMS from GAMES (if you like the games they are from, even better! If you like the items themselves, inside the games, even better-er! :D)
- No limit to how many, nor how big. But I think it would be pretty cool if all the images looked a little alike, so: Place them as you wish in a 1024x768 artboard/canvas.
- Make them vectorial, for us to better understand the items! I think FLAT ILLUSTRATION (see below) would be a fun challenge! :D
Deadline will be Wednesday, February 18th! (I would like to try and maintain Wednesdays as a regular deadline! What do you guys think?)
Whoever posts first, gets the privilege of challenging us all next! (except me and Lids! :3)
Since I'm not even sure if I'm using "Flat Illustration" with the right meaning, I'm gonna post some references of what I have in mind!
Have fun! :D

(This is a really flat one! Not many details and effects. Clean, clear and quite geometrical!)
(This guy made some illustrations pretty close to the challenge, actually! :P)
(This is where I got the idea from - I think.... I saw this a long time ago and found it again today! :D - He uses A LOT of effects and shades and glows and stuff... No need for that, But if it is what you want, go for it!!!)
Anything among those exemples should work JUST as inspiration! They are there simply to try and make myself clear, okay? No need to MASTER the technique of any of those artists!!!

Pixel Art ID
So, yeah. Late but done.
Wish I thought about how to animate it. My goal was the same as Fabio, and for that i kinda used one of Witchmarsh's sprites for inspiration and trying to emulate the artist's style (YES I COPIED >:D). Not only that, For the close up face I went for another artist for inspiration: Vixel (www.vixels.net).
I don't know what to think of the results, but sure, it was fun. Now maybe I should try animating it or maybe just putting some facial hair/glasses. hahaha. ;)
Cesco's out.
Lids
Ops, got distracted and it is past midnight already!
well, here it goes, this is the original size:
here it is 200% (with nearest neighbour to keep it pixelated):
and the last one with 400%

Hello, folks! :D
I made it! :3 yeeeeeey!
I'm not entirely satisfied with the results... :/
The idea was to do something that really looked like it would fit right into the WITCH MARSH...
Anywayas... I had a pretty nice idea of animation and all, but since it took me too long to be able to define the design of my character, I ended up without enough time for that...
Stil, managed to do what I wanted most: TRANSFORM INTO A POLAR BEAR! :D
I'm happier with the polar bear then with the person, but I strongly feel like both represent me! :3 (cheater, I know...)
Well, here it is! :D
Will wait a little longer to post the next challenge, so then everyone posts the results before we move on! (but won't wait too long, otherwise, the blog gets weak - it feeds on posts...)
