Sprite Jam 10th July -- 17th July

[Gilbert]

Ok, this week:

AGS Sea Monster

What does that mean? Basically it means that you think of a sea monster which is AGS related, how it's related to AGS is not important, as long as it composes of feature(s) recognizable by AGSers that it's in some sense relevant to AGS. For example you can draw a giant squid carrying a blue cup, or a fish with Larry Vales' head, or a crab with m0ds' face on its back, etc. So it can be anything as long as 1. it's related to AGS (no matter to AGS community, the AGS engine, AGS games, etc.) and that you can convince yourself that it's a sea monster.

Here comes the specs:
Size: Not more than 100x100 pixels
(note that means it's horizontal res. need to be <=100 and same goes to the vertical res. I don't want to limit it to exact size because that's not that important anyway, as when your sprites are smaller than the size, you can always add empty space to it already, so you don't need to do this this time.)
Colour: Unlimited
(As different people like to use different tools for their artwork, I don't want to limit the number of colours now, as previous experience told me that even if you limit the colour depth, someone can just draw a say photorealistic sprite in true colour and dither it into lower colour depth anyway, which made the colour limit pointless, so just use as many colours as you want.)

[Pesty]

Fun!

[BOYD1981]

ohnoooo! it's teh AGS CRAB!!!

[Gilbert]

woah crab with NUPPL35!1!

[Ghormak]

Not really a sea monster... it's just Roger... being a monster... in the sea.

[Vel]

Why do you all draw roger so ugly? Im not saying that he's very beautiful, but baldy with black eyes and mouth....

[n3tgraph]

......

that's roger....

[Vel]

No, THAT is roger!

[Flippy_D]

No it ain't  



Hotlinking, eh?

[Dunezone]

Color Compression kinda got to it but you get the idea.

[Minimi]

Ok, here is my cup-a-sea monster! First you'll see the 100x100 version and under that you'll see a 400x400 version, to give you more detail I hope you like it!

[Minimi]

oh crap... I just found out, I copied someone elses idea... well, ill see if I can make another picture  

[Sylpher]

Not a monster you say? See the Black dot on the beach? That is an 8 bedroom beachhouse with a 3 car garage...Yeah!



(Rodekill, Don't hurt me.)

[Synthetique]

3d renderings in a sprite jam?

[Minimi]

3d renderings in a sprite jam?

isnt that allowed?

[Gilbert]

Since there're no written rule about it, so it doesn't matter, I don't even care if it's just the shrinked version of a large picture, given that the pic is recognizable and clear when it's at the size restricted by the rule. So it's up to how the rules are written, which don't need to be the same every time.

[Nostradamus]

Vel, the Roger they are talking about is Roger from the official AGS demo by Chris Jones which comes with the program, NOT Roger Wilco.

[Gilbert]

That is our Roger Wilco. I think people are just jealous of the talent Pumaman has.

[evilspacefart]

nessie vales!

[Vel]

Aint tthat the same person, nostradamus?

[Rincewind]

Well, here's my little contribution... No too good, but it seemed quite funny when I did it. Heh.

[Minimi]

this one above is nice... green! Is it allowed to post 2 entrys?

[Rincewind]

Very nice and very green, yes. Hehe, thanks.

[Minimi]

but this is my first time doing any competition here, where is the voting system??

[SLaMgRInDeR]

what do you mean where is the voting system? when the jam finnishes (in this case the 17th July) evryone posts wich one they think is the best. Btw yours was great, exept it was the same monster as somone else.
(   (   ( <( -_-)> )   )   )

[Flippy_D]

Wrong. The person who hosts the sprite jam picks the winner.

[veryweirdguy]

It just so happens that the last two jams were decided by vote, but traditionally the host picks the winner.

[Minimi]

ok, tnx for the info!

[Minimi]

I already posted the 3D rendered sprite, but I don't think that's fair so im posting another one... I drawed this one with my new drawing tablet... and I suck at drawing tablet... but OK



see this monster got tatoo of AGS! and if you look real good, you can notice that it's a male

[misterx]

"The lochness Roger "

[Mikko]

Here's my entry. I'm pretty happy how it turned out.



AGS-relation should be pretty obvious.

And here's how I did it step-by-step, in case anyone is interested:

1. Sketch on 300x300. I think it's useful to start with big and then reduce.
2. Resizing it to 100x100. Then basic outlining&coloring.
3. Adding details and shadowing.
4. Changed the head, because it looked awful.
5. Made it darker, some detail work too.
Final: "Rodifying" it with wig. Added noise, so it would look like scaly (this was quick way to do it, more working pixel-by-pixel would grant a much better result).

Hope you like it.

Edit: Damn! Just noticed that Rode had been used once before already. Sorry, Sylpher.

Well, It's Rode's fault, he's too cool.

[n3tgraph]

looking good mikko! :o

[Minimi]

ok, times up... who won?

[Flippy_D]

Wait and see  :

[Gilbert]

Thanx to all who participated, I like all the entries, it's fun to see that roger monster and crab monster are having the same pose . But there must be a winner...



I personally (yes, personally, that doesn't mean the other sprites are not good in comparison) like it's clean style .

I'm looking forward to the next competition.

[Scummbuddy]

I really like Rincewind's.  Made me laugh more than any other one.  And I like that it's been the first post of this second page, so I always see it.  I like the originality of it. *like, the different perspective on the subject.

But, yes, Congrats to Pest!  Good job.  Its very scary  

[Pesty]

Yay! I am such the winner!

Which means I have to think of a topic for the next one...

Arrr...

[Mikko]

Thank you, N3TGraph.

Congratulations, Pestilence!

[Gilbert]

Hehe okay, new one's up, this one's cut!
