I recall this competition from last year...
I recall it from the blender forums.
several several months ago.
Belias. If you want to do this. Head over to P&P section. Create a thread called "Pixel art comp" or something. Explain a few simple rules. Invite people to join in FOR FUN.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT INVOLVE MONEY OR LICENSING AGREEMENTS!
edit: i thought posting this in p&p would be a mistake since these are not by me.
ps: never heared of any minecraft contest, searching.
everyone likes pixel art.
I'm surprised at the hostility. Am I missing something?
