The great folks at IGN.com are on board as sponsors of this contest; plus, IGN.com‘s Editor-in-Chief, Casey Lynch, and Harmonix developer Ryan Lesser will serve as guest judges for this gamer-centric group! Submissions are now open for artists to enter their 8-bit designs through June 1st; customers will rate the submissions from June 15 – July 6, with the winners announcement taking place on July 27!
It’s time for to take your imaginations into the digital realm, artists – retro style! One of the most popular and best-loved by geek culture of all of our trend categories at WeLoveFine.com has been the Pixel Art or 8-Bit group, in which vintage 8-bit video game style is the name of the game – so we decided to make pixels our game for this latest contest! We want to see some bits, bytes & bobs of classic pixel style, and we anticipate getting the word out so that the contestants will come up with some delightfully unique applications for this enduring pop-culture look. Artists can submit a unique creation of their own, or they can utilize licensed characters so long as they are licenses that we have rights to at WeLoveFine.com.
