Congrats Yazoo! You are flying high - a worthy winner. :) And thank you grasstust and Raffox for your great pics. Thanks PAL for organizing this; it's a great idea, and you are a great artist. Keep it up!
About my picture: I wanted the idea of my pic to be the thing; if you miss that, you miss the whole point: it's a paraphrase of a well known masterpiece: "Die Toteninsel" ("Isle of the Dead") by Arnold Böcklin. Thank you Zyron for lending me your awesome and spooky tune "Clowns Insane" from 2005. Merry Pixmas everyone! |

YAHOOO!!! Thank you very much for 2nd place! I absolutely loved this little compo initiative, it was very inspiring and I had such a great time both pixeling and cooperating with the very cool bunch of Hoaxers. And Yazoo - f### y##!!!!! ;) Just kidding, you really deserved it, great pic, man! Also Hedning and Raffox, great stuff!
Edit: As for my picture, it really was drawn without too much planning. I just wanted to paint a morbid, kind of gritty world. Several times I just put some random pixels on the screen, stared at it and said: Hey - I can see a face here! And after some experimenting, something I liked appeared... :) |

Unbelievable. Thanks for all your effort with this pal and everyone who competed. Will write more tomorrow
edit: ok, after (too less) sleep i wanna let you know that i am quite happy now. though i had expected a little more quality in the compo. but when i think about it - romppainen may be absolutely right.
short before xmas ppl often have no time because of family-business and so on. and right after xmas it may be almost the same (new-years day, hangover... whatever).
also i did only make it because of the extended deadline to be honest.
but in the end it did not become a desaster i think, as some nice entries are there (#2, #3 and one or two more) - and i hope you are not too disappointed pal. the fact that you have sponsored such price-money yourself shows again how much love and enthusiasm you put into whatever you do

Ok so we have the results of the Offence PIXMAS2012 Graphics Competition, the result is based on the csdb votes and the jury.
------------------
Winner is:
Santa Can Fly by Yazoo
csdb vote - 8.9
Jury: This is the real spirit of pixmas... there is warm special light and a happy and cozy mood, the image is beautifully executed in a style we have all got to know and love: Yazoo style! Congratulations and you are a deserved winner in our book. You made a "professional" - funny - cool and super illustration for this compo and we love you for that!
------------------
Seccond place goes to:
Hoaxmas 2012 by grasstust
csdb vote - 7.3
Jury: This is the work of some really weird dude and we just love it, this is really imaginable and creative and totally something we have not seen before, it is good in pixel work too. The whole production holds the great image and also a fantastic tune and scrolltext. Hoaxers you make pixmas worth while!
------------------
On third place we have splittet it up, two winners here:
Hokuto Claus by Raffox
csdb vote - 7.7
Jury: Your image is really something that could have been in a print ad back in the days and it holds much joy and also the best gift that anyone could ever get for any pixmas, ever!
Tomteninsel by hedning
csdb vote - 7.5
Jury: Hedning, it is so nice with the instagram old photo look(he he) and the clever move of keeping the colors to let the viewers eyes land on the happy center and also then at the santa!
------------------
We hope you that made art for this compo will also create new art for future compos and that you all had a great time doing this. We must now get some floppys and prepare the prize for you all, send me PM with your adresses so that we can send a real swapping letter to you with the floppys, we just have to make them and so on so it will take some time. Our great winner Yazoo, PM me or send me a fb private or e-mail me and give me your bank information and the prize money will soon be on your account.
Congratulations to all of the winners and also to the ones entering the compo, young and old... the same... happy new year and see you next pixmas!
Your member of the jury, PAL

| I can speak only for my own behalf but, no matter how nice the idea for this compo is, in this case time of the year was its worst enemy: All the hassle with christmas preparations followed almost instantly by new year's eve was more than enough to keep me away from all the time-consuming stuff, including pixeling, and I'm quite sure I wasn't the only one with similar obstacles on the way :( |

Well here is the fact... There are most not that great entries but there are some great ones too... And I am a man of many silly words, but I am a man that stand for what I have said and will continue to do so. The money prize is there and it were never a issue of removing it from this compo, there are actually some that has worked a lot to make great images here, and if there were only one that did that, the prize would ofcourse be up for grabs too...
I did arrange this compo because I got really inspired by the music compo from ole and I just wanted to make something for the art departments too.
It is something I have to consider if I want to do again, that is just what it is... I think it is because some of you really did great work for it and I also know that some others have struggeled and I hope they make it til the deadline.
Maybe it was wrong having a money prize, maybe that is what made this differ from the rest of the compos? I do not know why not more did art for this as it were just nice for pixmas.
I did one piece to inspire you all but we kind of thought I could not be in the compo because we in a way said that we would hold this and also be sort of jury here. And if I had entered that would be wrong for some to and I just did not want that discussion.
Now it is soon Datastorm and maybe LCP in the summer, just maybe we can arrange another compo in between those two... I do not know!
I hope more will make it in the last day, if not I think we already have some great ones.

| still i want to try and compete - because i think pal deserves to have more pictures in the compo. the stretched deadline may make it possible (without guarantees) for me. doesnt matter if i win or become last (ok, thats a lie - i want to win that handshake, hehe). but those csdb standalone compos need more support. and i really hope that pal isnt disappointed and is going to organize another compo of this kind |

| Although some of the pictures are quite nice in a general cosy way I wouldn't blame the organizers if they don't pay those prize money. None of the pictures had that top quality character. Seems that the CSDb users agree.. The average score for the entries is only 4,7 which must be considered low (I think) even when one takes into account that several pictures are more of the joking kind. |

actually i planned to partitipate but had no time (due to a current project at work).
imo this is a good idea for worth repeating. do not know why some compos are highly popular (rambo revisited) and others less. pretty sure it is not the compo price... enthusi and me had similar issues with quantity of entries with the double screen compo two years ago. |

| NO - music and pixels can be from different... it is not hard this... make your own pixmas graphics that hold a santaclaus... put on music and animation or what ever but not a big part changing demo!?!?!? I think that is pretty much the drill here. Ofcourse one can use the music one wants! |

Fredrik: well, now you have to pixel something yourself, guess you want to participate this compo, well.. you have my pic I did, but it should be your own creation, do your best. The Santa I did for you, is actually from the web, not that important. Go pixeling.. :DD

Remember the rules now: AND YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY ENTRIES YOU WANT!
1. Must be your own creation from start to finish, you may use what ever software and production lines you want!
2. Must be in a .prg or d64 disk, and must run on a real c64 and all borders are allowed, even long scrolling images.
3. All formats, overlays and tricks but rau, must run on a standard c64 with diskdrive.
4. Santaclaus and his surroundings is the theme, must hold a santaclaus in a way and rest is up to you.
5. The entry can hold graphics and music, but not be a demo... just one part... and that is it... you can fade out text before and so on... you may load more graphics from disk for image or animation but not change part... so please do understand no intro and part and effects and so on... it should be graphics, or graphics with sound and that is it. |

There is reason for adding compo entries on-fly. Motivation of other people to enter the competition. With compos running online I never did it other way, so I can't tell for sure if there is far less entries that way. As you could see with Rambo Revisited, it got plenty of entries in the end.

OK... Dudes... will it be the best if all entries were sent to me at my e-mail... in that way I can upload them all at the same time and it will be a more spectacular bombing here that if they came like one now and then... I really think it will be coolest if all were to be displayed at the same time really... whay do you all think?
I really hope that a lot of you are making stuff for this one too... the highscore compo made me smile so much and let this one put on a big smile too... I want to make one toooo... hmmmm....
Let there be love in PIXMAS!

| Nice initiative. Part from finishing H's graphics, perhaps I should finish C's things, SOA etc before taking on more... :) Hopefully in one way or the other there will be more Joe'ish things before the end of this year. |
