Challenge #1: Pixel Art
Pixel Art Challenge
A bit of a warm-up. Create a scene from your favorite old school video game, make a low-res version of a renowned portrait, or just about anything else, you are challenged to make a pixel art masterpiece. Pixel art focuses on making images with the least amount of blocks possible so remember, less is more. Be as creative as possible with the use of your blocks, using dyed wool and diamond blocks alone won’t cut it.
Timeline: 2 Weeks
Overall Requirements:
