Greetings Fellow Sosarians! Do you have a knack for crafting digital masterpieces one pixel at a time? Whether you're a seasoned pixel artist or just discovered the magic of 8-bit, join our Pixel Palooza for a celebration of all things pixelated. Break out your virtual paintbrush and showcase your creativity in the pixelated realm! Deadline for submission: December 20th 23:59 UTC Prizes: Each category winner will receive fabulous prizes, allegedly. 125 Platinum A full set of bed addon deeds A full set of AMIB chests There's also a bonus for the "best in show" between the three non-rooftop categories! 1 Million Gold And of course every winner gets a sweet trophy! In addition, each category winner will be on display in the event center (or on the KoS event complex) until May 1 2024! Categories: 12x14 Ultima themed (from Underworld to Ascension and Online too!) 12x14 Christmas themed 12x14 Miscellaneous Rooftop complex at 835, 938 (A fortress, 15x16, with two flanking towers, 11x12) Entry Guidelines: Open to pixel artists of all levels, from beginner to expert. Pixel artwork must be posted to this thread by December 20th 23:59 UTC. Each participant can submit one (1) entry per category. Artwork must be original and inspired by the contest theme. Artwork must use standard dye tub hues, undyed cloth, and black (0-1001) Hues used must be included on the submission so we can recreate your winning artwork! How to Enter: There are two ways to enter the contest! For those of you who have access to large enough areas you can submit in-game photos. But don't despair newer players! You can participate too, through the magic of MSPaint! (Or Photoshop, GIMP, etc) Create your artwork using the approved color palette and save it as an image matching the size(s) for the category (yes I know these will be tiny by default, but we can zoom in!) Example image: Post your submission(s) as replies to this thread Judging Criteria: Creativity and Originality Adherence to Theme Overall Aesthetic Appeal Join us for a nostalgic journey into the world of pixels! Because in this contest, the only thing sharper than the pixels is your creativity! Helpful info: Dye tub palette - https://www.uoguide.com/images/a/a9/Dying_tub_colors.png Formula for matching a standard color (hues 2->1001, 1000 hues total):
Miscellaneous I guess lol. I would like to enter the Chicken Tower for your consideration!!! I cannot load the original image, keeps giving me an error. I am not computer smart like you. 11x12 is the roof size, and I gave you the hues. It is the chicken image off of the website of UOR...... 11x12 Hues 33 530 42 1001 53
Great submissions so far! But I'd like to point out something. You also need to include the hues used in creation of the art. In this case it's 242 (brown), 49 (yellow), and 158 (green). This way, your artwork can be replicated in the EC, or on the roof of the KoS event complex, in case you win. We want the winners to be able to display their artwork in game afterall!
I've updated the first post with the prize pool, so get to creating! Each category winner will receive fabulous prizes, allegedly. 125 Platinum A full set of bed addon deeds A full set of AMIB chests There's also a bonus for the "best in show" between the three non-rooftop categories! 1 Million Gold And of course every winner gets a sweet trophy!

This event sounded like so much fun! I will submit a place marker for each category and come back with proper hue, and placement information. If I can get an in-game photo I will try.
