Sprite Jam 30-6May - Werecreatures

Mordalles · Sun 30/04/2006 21:30:37

Most of us know about werewolves, werebears (diablo fanatics like me) and wererabbits.

Now make a sprite of any werecreature you can imagine (land, sea or air), or do one of the ones mentioned above.

Restrictions:
no more than 32 colours
size: 150x150 (upper limit)

hope the topic is alright, and atleast one person enters.Ã,Â

edit: sorry if it wasnt clear.

Krysis · Sun 30/04/2006 21:41:08

Size doesn't matter.

EDIT: Here is my entry.

Ã,Â Ã,Â 2XÃ,Â

"I love the stench of wererats in the morning."

Ãœberhyena. Sorry, due to fact I'm writing the exams for the whole May, I don't have the time to finish it.

Enter whatever you want, the point is everybody has a unique style and by making it higher some more high res people can enter.. not all the high res entries won the prior jam...

A Wereman.

Eytmology and tautology are fun.

You've heard of werewolves and werebears and even wererabbits, but here in Africa we have werelions. We live in constant fear. They appear during african sunsets.

150x150, 13 colours
drawn originally entirely by me, deal with it.

I'm not sure if I understand the topic correctly. To me, a werewolf is a person that changes into a (normal) wolf from time to time. So, unless I draw the sprite during the actual shape-shifting (something that should probably done with animation rather than a static sprite), it would simply look like an ordinary human or an ordinary animal. Or are we supposed to draw anthropomorphic animals? And if that is the case, is there a distincition between "werecreatures" and "furries" I should be aware of?

pslim · Tue 02/05/2006 02:34:58

To Anym: Mordalles is the last word since it's his theme, but my understanding based on the etymology (so aptly seized upon by Las Naranjas) is that any sort of combination of a human and a creature would be acceptable. "Were" just means "man", so "werewolf" means man-wolf, "werebear" means man-bear, and "wereman" is of course a man-man (though Las Naranjas' sprite doesn't look nearly manly enough to warrant such a categorizationÃ,Â

).

That a man-wolf might be something different to you than it is to someone else doesn't seem to be a problem, in my estimation, though if Mordalles says it's a problem then it is.

Oh, and here's my entry:

x2

Were-Pink-Panther

Size: 104x142
Colors: 24

I'm not even sure if this qualifies, but I enjoyed making it and I thought the paradigm was looking a bit complacent.

Pet Terry · Tue 02/05/2006 10:25:55

I drew a werething.

Now if someone could tell me what the hell is that thing?

calacver · Tue 02/05/2006 11:39:23

Is that traced pslim? If so could you put a reference up?

WOWÃ,Â :o krysis that is amazing!! I wish I was as good as you!

Mordalles · Tue 02/05/2006 12:01:33

privateer, krysis, buloght and pslim all have the right idea of what i meant with "were".

werewolf = halfman halfwolf. atleast that what i meant.
sorry, i didnt go and research the word to get the specific meaning.

las naranjas, the sarcasm is duely noted.

It's heavily photoreferenced but not traced. I actually tried to trace the human body initially, thinking I couldn't possibly draw it, but when I squished it down I discovered that tracing what I thought were the outlines (which didn't turn out to be the outlines when I referenced the full size photo) looked awful.

The oriental shorthair (drool) I used is here:

The human I used for reference can't be posted here, I don't think, but I could PM it to you.Ã,Â

My entry is not all that spritey, and I don't mind too much if it's disqualified on that account. It was fun to make and I like it (despite some glaring flaws) and I thought all those half-naked chicks that get posted needed some balancing out.

MrColossal · Tue 02/05/2006 22:46:08

All better.

Strikingly, the infamous villain met his match sooner than anyone expected:
