Art / Hay Bale Pixel Art
« on: April 12, 2010, 06:55:26 pm »
Introduction Thingie-
So, some of you know of the popular 'Farmville' game on Facebook. Well, it's created something of a form of art with their hay bales which take up exactly a 1x1 space on a grid that can get as big as 98x98. As such, several people have taken to arranging hay bales into art. Unfortunately, not only do you need to spend some time to level up and get enough money to upgrade the size of your farm to its highest but it costs quite a bit to get enough hay bales to complete your work.
Anyway, this is the whole reason I started Farmville in the first place. For now, I only have one design done (since I only just recently upgraded to the 90x90 farm) and thought I'd share my little hobby with you guys.
Available Hay Bales-
So... as you can see, you're really limited on colors which makes this art even harder.
Finished Designs-
FF1 Practice
(98x98)
Finished with it a a 90x90 farm so I couldn't fit in the bottom GUI thing. I would finish it, but I want to work on another design once I get to 98x98.
Though, I made that GUI pixel-by-pixel. I can't believe how perfectly it fit. =D
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Um...Doggie!
(98x98)
The checkered part is where the crops will be planted. (216 spots) The rest will have scattered animals/buildings/whatever. I'll just have to wait and see.
Anyway, these are Pokemon from the dropped project Pokemon BattleFire. They just looked so great together, I couldn't resist. Hope it comes out well.
(It was a pain in the ass trying to get it down to just using the colors available at 2am while suffering from insomnia and a headache. D= )

). It' snot a big hurry, though. It might be good to test on one skin at once, too, in case.
