Should it be a bitmap or can it be a vector with pixel art look, I can work with little square "pixel" vectors so the art is scalable and looks like pixel art without being a bitmap what do you think?

I was planning on making a script to translate bitmaps into SVG but I 've found one! that saved time. If anyone needs it I can share it here just ask.
I made this robotdog I know it has nothing to do with other IPs but robot dog is like a meme right? I will submit the svg, I am trying to optimize it but having many rects makes it huge, like 500kb or more

The script I found is not optimizing for same color pixel connected components, I will need to change it. May I submit this unoptimized version and then optimize it and repost a different PR?
Found an amazing optimize tool for this! It took my svg from 500Kb to 37kb!
looks great! pls submit

Ok! What do you think about this johnny5 that I made? Short Circuit was one of my top movies when I was a child. I hope you like it, should I make a version with Gitcoin's bot big eye?

im not super particular about it having to be the gitcoin bot. looking good :)
hey all, i've been minting them as they roll in. if you submit work i can start paying you out.
i've submitted both mine, but i wouldn't mind designing more 😁
Two questions:
-
Is there a guide or a more robust hexagon file that can be used as a template? It seems that some people's designs are getting distorted during the final minting process. It may make it easier for new designers, like myself, to get their proportions right.
-
After submission, how do payouts work? Do they go out in rounds like the gitcoin grants, or just kind of as they are submitted?
@omnianalytics
- yes there is a template linked on gitcoin.co/kudos/new
- im planning on issuing tips on a rolling basis. aiming for NET-7
just issued tips to everyone who submitted work ( merit-tech,kushmd,writeprovidence,omnianalytics,l-kh,kvndigs,azizyano,melvinalvarez ) . as more ppl submit work ill pay out on a rolling basis
@owocki hi, it's kvndlgs, just in case since i don't see any transaction yet 😅
@ kvndlgs my bad, sending now!
@owocki no problem, thanks a lot!
Hello @owocki, shall we submit kudos on gitcoin as well ? https://github.com/gitcoinco/creative/pull/224
@owocki I accidentally submitted the kudos without checking the in-browser rendering. Turns out, there is some pretty intense anti-aliasing on the pixel art. I'm trying to fix that right now, and will resubmit when possible.
EDIT: I fixed it by manually adding some style. Seems as though it still displays a bit weird on safari, but chrome and firefox look fine
@owocki No transactions here too😅. Happy memorial day to all US citizens, here in Argentina it was a holiday too, we celebrated the anniversary of the first national government
this here are mine kudos wish is good mykudos.zip
@Roundtree-Larry your kudos need to be 100x100
@federicosan txid is 0xe3e636cd81231aeab4831df9f75fc1e36b4d1f17af441f982f76aa99ae968ce6
everyone else, ill issue another round of payouts this week. pls submit work on this bounty so i add u to the payout list
Hey @owocki i submitted before the 1st payout and didn't receive yet. Thanks 👍
https://github.com/gitcoinco/creative/issues/217#issuecomment-630986836
@owocki I think the anti-aliased kudos that I accidentally submitted were the ones that were accepted
