As some of you know, 2 weeks ago our community and the Pixel Art Discord server ran simultaneous weekly challenges to pixel each other's mascots. They have recently published their contest's results! Since not all PJers are members of both communities, we have taken the liberty to make the pieces that were submitted available to a greater audience.
You can check out all of their contest entries here!

PJs next isometric collaboration has begun in the forum.
This time, we are going to build a pirate island(s). First time this round, the borders must end with water. Anything related to the general pirate feel is cool. Several examples are: caves, buildings, forts, piers, ships (floating or not), pirates 
, palms, treasures, ghosts, skeletons, and any fantasy element as long as they are pirate-y.
Welcome to the ISObbean. Yaaaarrrrrr!
This project features Dawnbringer's 's award winning palette.

Hello PJers!
1st December makes 10 years since one of PJ's oldest bugs, jalonso, joined Pixel Joint.
To celebrate his anniversary, we wish to surprise him with a flood of jal themed avatars this week!
To participate:
Create an avatar (max 64x64), in the theme of a birthday party. Cakes, the number 10, your character dancing, scarabs and other bugs, anything goes!
Use the palette of the original jal avatar + transparency: 
Optionally animate this, ideally with just 2 frames (like the other jal-atars)
And don't forget to use it as your avatar for the jal-atars week!
If you feel creative and can improve your work by bending the guidelines, feel free to do so!
Please don't forget to tell Lakelezz via this news item, PM or within the description of your piece, if it is okay to let Lakelezz use your piece in a collage in order to keep the memories saved : )
The collage will be posted via another news post and not be uploaded on a PJ user account.
Last but not least:
A big thank you from us to you jalonso, for your great work as moderator and as community member!
(note: this isn't a weekly challenge, so don't check that box when submitting)

This app is not reviewed by Pixeljoint but for US$2.99 it might be worth trying out.
