Title: El Sprite Jam: July 6th - July 13th!!
Post by: Opo Terser on Tue 06/07/2004 05:45:25
Draw any character you want, doesn't matter at all, no restrictions or anything...

But they must be wearing a hat of some sort

Size limit: 150 x 150 pixels

Not sure if improving my spriting skills is necessary because Big Brother already does all the art for our games.

Here goes:

Since this is a sprite jam.. Does anyone agree that more actual Sprites should be drawn.. That anime girl is cute and good and all.. But it's not pixelated like REAL , old skool sprites... I just want to see more of THAT.. But you can still do what you want to, as long as it meets the requirements.. i didn't mean to start a debate.

What do you mean by vector?

Post by: Privateer Puddin' on Wed 07/07/2004 22:09:54
woah, a sprite is a sprite, be it pixel art or high colour non pixel art.. as long as it meets any rules (like colour or size limit) then it should be treated on it's artistic quality and on it's idea, not whether you think it should be done in a different style

Post by: Mr Jake on Wed 07/07/2004 22:10:11
ths comp was , iirc, originally for pixel pushers to show their stuff, but vector has become incorperated, that is what LGM means I think, thats what I mean.

Hell, if Im wrong just say and I can go stand over there instead :)

What do you mean by vector?

Vector drawings, drawings that don't use pixels and thus can be scaled, and edited easily, as well as being much smaller. Generally used in Flash and other such programs.

But this isn't titled "Old Skool Sprite Jam", just "Sprite Jam", and there's no restrictions in this contest about that. A sprite is a sprite. Who's to say you can't use any sprite in a game?

Maybe someone should start an old skool pixel art contest if we keep coming back to this argument.

Hey, they don't have to be sensible hats.   He's a weather man, by the way.  Note the microphone.  I just rushed this to get some more entries shoveled in.  ;D

Al's idea. A hat, wearing character.

3x Zoom

It's a little boy wearing a friendly mind-controlling alien from outer space with a hat.
He just got that knife out of the kitchen drawer and nobody knows what will happen next.

Btw, I like Pixel-Sprites more than Vector-Sprites, but since there are no restrictions in the rules, I think Vector-Sprites are OK for this Sprite Jam.

Post by: TheSaint on Thu 08/07/2004 11:31:54
first thing i wanted to say is sprite is sprite, meaning u can use it in games as EGO sprite
second thing: girl was made in photoshop 4.0, drawn with lines and pencil meaning no flash and curved lines were used believe it or not. and it was made in 300X300 screen/canvas but since she didnt fit 150x150 i scaled her to 50%.
original size:

Post by: Ali on Thu 08/07/2004 14:08:00
I don't think it would be fair to outlaw vector-drawn sprites -

Surely I'd be allowed to enter this fella even though he was created in a 3D app:
(http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/http://themonkeyhut.tripod.com/Blob.jpg)

(Except that I made it a couple of weeks ago, its too big and it's not very good)

The Saint's sprite is great, but the Sprite Jams have seen many equally good pixel-pushings. It's not as if the art is dying out on the forum, is it?

The original image was just a still, made a month or three ago. I thought I'd animate it and enter it, and get that damn walk cycle figured out and practiced. It's also pixely, for the purists out there. :P

Here's my awesome entry:

(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/hat_guy_man_dude_gonna_win_now.gif)
It's a guy in a black suit with a black top hat.

Here's a closer view:
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/hat_guy_man_dude_gonna_win_now.gif)
You can't get much more pixeltastic than that! I dare someone else to put more detail in a character using the same resolution. Think of the file space it'll save! No more 2GB games! We can finally go back to using floppies!

Edit: I just realized I should have made his body a bit longer than his head/hat. Oh well. I'll probably still win, because it rocks so much.
