Spit Jam - June 11-17 - WINNER: ALI

[big brother]

After much deliberation (about 5 minutes of my snack time), I decided on a topic for this next JAM.

Fearless Leader

I want to see renditions of a military genius (or moron, you decide) who lived in the past or will live in the future (or alternate futures, you decide). The astute reader will notice that I do not want to see sprites of present leaders. If you submit a present leader, I will censure you. Believe me, that it hurts a lot.

My guidelines require you to draw aforementioned sprite with a maximum size of 150 by 150 pixels. You can use up to 40 colors.

I am looking for (and will laud) creative choice of subject, superior technical execution (if that term isn't puffery, I don't know what is), and the viability of the sprite in an actual adventure game.

In summary, your entry must be:
- Military leader, past or future
- no larger than 150x150 pixels (sorry for any confusion)
- 40 colors (or fewer)
- Totally sweet


Good luck and happy spriting!

Whew...just in time. I can only think of 2 easily caricaturisable past military leaders, and I got 1 of them:

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

150x150 39 colors

In a dark future where radioactive monsters plague the earth, one hero will rise to lead mankind...

[Tiki]

150x150, 40 colors


2x:

Cap'n Danny Treadmill

Well, pirates count as fearless military leaders, right?  Ah, and that's a possum he has, rather than a traditional parrot.

[Darth Mandarb]

Conan the King ...

Dimensions: 65x120
Colors: 37

[SpacePirateCaine]

70x150, 17 colors
x1 x2

Edward "Blackbeard" Teach - One of the pioneers of psychological warfare.

It's not exactly the most original idea I've had so far - I got it looking at Tiki's, but he was definitely one hell of a leader.

Napolean the conquerer who continued his conquest after breaking out of his island prison!

Ho ho, wee wee!

I had to enter. The topic was perfect. I made this a year ago. The only problem is I used 256 colors. Perhaps we can bend the rules?

[Andrew]

I know "I'm with stupid"!!! But my MSpaint is sooo old I can't save anything else but bmps. Frust!

By the way the link above shows a "x2" pic.

[Ubel]

First: MSpaint does save in other formats. For example PNG's. Second: Don't double post, use the modify-button in your post.

Okay, now I stop pretending to be a moderator. Moderator_mode=off;

Third: That's some damn wonderful art! Too bad it has too many colors.

Only if you use Windows XP. Otherwise it's limited to gif, bmp and, I think, tga.

[Ubel]

Hmm, okay sorry. I didn't know that.

[Mozesh]

Well on my old pc I had win95 in which paint only could save as BMP, so I used Irvanview to save it to png or other formats.
Good entries all!

[skw]

NOT AN ENTRY!

The only problem is I used 256 colors. Perhaps we can bend the rules?

Not a problem. Just decrease colour limit to 40 in some graphic program (e.g. Paint Shop Pro). I've done it for you:

(40 colours)

You probably won't see any bigger difference.

[=The=Brat=]

[Chicky]
