What is 1Bitober?

It's where we collab with other artists or musicians, to create art using 1bit art (art using 2 colours).

Any art style is welcome (though keep to the 2 colours rules), same goes for any music genre being allowed as long as it fits the spooky vibe.


    🎨Art brief:

    Create a haunted house with the following prompts (see below). Use as many rooms as you want, and keep it to 2 colours max to match the 1bit aesthetic

    Music brief:

    For the music, produce a soundscape or theme to accompany each room. Any genre is welcome as long as its a spooky vibe.

    📅Duration:

    This event lasts all of the month of October! So do as little or as much as you want!

    Example house:

    Here's what the house could look like! Room arrangement is up to you.

    This house was made in collab with @0pels1n4ik



NOTE

No pressure if you are from other time zones, use your time to do as much or as little as you can!
