Post by: Matti on Sat 26/09/2009 14:54:23
Theme: MAGIC!

Let a magician cast a spell, a witch mixing some magic potions or whatever comes to your mind. It just has to do with magic somehow..

Rules:

- No size, colour or frame limits.
- You may animate the supplied sprite or draw and animate your own sprite.
- All entries must be posted in this thread until 10th October
- The host of the competition will judge the winner.

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... :D

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:
