heh does this count? Its hardly pixel art :p

Matti · Sun 27/09/2009 00:07:17

Of course it counts.

I just hope you didn't use some fancy effects program that did all the work for you.

Well it depends on what you mean by 'all the work'

I used after effects and certainly didnt pixel it myself.

but i still had to do things like lighten his body in places and animate the masks and stuff.
Im not really sure what qualifies as 'animation'

Let's just say it counts...

These competitions are meant to be practice and you certainly did practise with lightning, movement and direction, despite using a program for the effect.

Nice one, Nickel. I especially like the eye motion (and you know that

). Also, you reminded me of the deadline which ends today.

I haven't much time now and also have difficulties to decide the winner, so I'll extend the deadline for one day and post again tomorrow.

I was working on an entry, but it's not that great and its taken me three days to get half-way through it, so there is no way I'm gonna have time.

It was fun though, but maybe next time I should try something a bit less FXy...

Matti · Sun 11/10/2009 17:11:51

I like both entries, Calin Leafshade's has a nice effect and Nickel's has some facial expression and both could work very well in a game (well, both in one actually).

Since I couldn't choose a winner I flipped a coin and Nickel won.

Thanks for participating and wonkyth, I hope you'll enter the next one

Here are your trophies:

Thank you.. coin.

And now for something completely different -

YAY!
