Title: Spit Jam: Nov. 24 - Nov. 30
Post by: big brother on Wed 24/11/2004 06:48:34
It's been a while since I've hosted one of these competitions, so forgive me if the topic is uncool (hopefully not). And the topic in question is:

Main Characters From Famous AGS Games

!


Description:
Here's the assignment. You must draw the main character from an AGS game in a different style. For example, you could draw Larry Vales in a Indiana Jones FOA style, or Jake McUrk in a quirky Day of the Tentacle style. It can be any main character, as long as he/she starred in a game made with AGS.

Restrictions:
Size: No limits here, but please keep it practical. I want to see sprites that would potentially work in a game, not a 640x480 piece of digital art.
Colors: To enforce to sprite aspect of this assignment, you are limited to 35 colors.

I just realised I'm posting this on Captain Mostly's birthday. Seems oddly fitting.

Indy was the player character in a really old, non-Indy-based AGS game (made by Abstauber, I think). Can't remember what it was called though.

I think you better take a closer look...
While it may not be the same as the original it looks like the stile is the same. I goofed it up. But since I made it I posted it here just becouse of the principal. Maybee it's becouse I resized it to 200%

DAMMIT!

I made this one up and THEN realized it was supposed to be a character from an AGS game ... not just and adventure game.Ã,  Oh well ... not an entry then, but I'd thought I'd share anyway:

I went a different direction with 'style' ... rather than a different art style, I went with a different fashion style.  Guess it doesn't matter since it's not an AGS character.

Yeah?  Okay then ... I present you Santa Claus (from AGA's message) in Le Chuck (monkey Island) style!

Ok guys, the verdict is in.

We had a decent turnout for this Sprite Jam (actually, the sprite competitions in general don't seem to be doing very well as of late). While everyone submitted a good entry, I was impressed mostly by the pieces I can imagine in a game. Notables include Darth's Santa Claus (although his rationale was a bit thin) and Mr. Frisby's Hermit (although I'm not really sure what style he put it in). But for me, the clear winner is --

Geoffkhan's A Tale of Betrayal in DOTT style. Everything about this sprite screams Bernard from DOTT, yet simultaneously depicts the lead from A Tale of Betrayal. I can totally see this character in a low-res version of the game. Excellent work.
