About my design

by rodrigobhz

Ya know, sometimes Democracy can be a crazy stuff. ;)

This is my sub for the Democracy Challenge and my first pixel art design! I tried to be very democratic and make a design with the democracy spirit that you can wear anytime and any place in this... Galaxy! I picked up iconic leaders from everywhere (Betelgeuse included), every etnic and gender. And every single one are examples - some are good, some are not, it's up to you to decide. So, remember: Choose yours wisely and don't let this game over!

Hey, don't forget to tell me who you'll choose to beat 'The Galactic President'!

In the spirit of democracy, I would like to cordially raise an issue about the term "crazy," which is often used as a metaphor to indicate incompetence or ridiculousness as well as to stigmatize people who suffer from mental illnesses. While using the term this way almost never means to offend anyone, it operates similarly to how "gay" and certain racial and ethnic terms have been used uncritically in the past. Thank you for considering this point.

I LOVE the Hitchhiker's Guide reference! Level 42? Brilliant. Good design overall, too. :)

Funny, but the whole "democrazy" thing has been done at least four times.

I love the Super Mario Bros 2 intro screen look to this piece. El Comandante is an awesome pixelized representation!

Harfangoria on Aug 16 '08

Mid- to latter-day 8-bit.... genius!

rodrigobhz on Aug 16 '08

Thanks FRICKINAWESOME and Harfangoria! I made every single pixel on Corel Draw and I'm proud of this ;P

Yeah great ! Pixel fever !

Goldendust on Aug 17 '08

Oh wow. I remember back in the day when I used to do that with MS paint... badly. The colours are pretty mint, too.

I hit play, it doesn't work! Bah! $5

Love the pixel people and the likenesses. There's a whole nother concept in there somewhere. Or you should start a web site offering pixel portraits, (at a price, of course).

rodrigobhz on Aug 17 '08

hahaha, thanx quister!

btw, that's a good idea! is it will be my pleasure to make your pixel portrait (for free, of course!)

:)

awesome.

WanderingBert on Aug 18 '08

This is great!

I think Zaphod Beeblebrox should be "The NothingTH", not "The Nothinght".

Other than that, I'm not crazy about this design - I get the idea, but I just don't think it's that good. Good pixel portraits, though.

rodrigobhz on Aug 18 '08

Thanks people!
