Hey hey! I won the sprite jam for my birthday! What a present!

So, I always have trouble thinking up topics for sprite jams, but I think I have a fun one for you all to do. It's something I enjoy spriting, so hopefully you guys will enjoy it too!

Rules:
Dinosaurs!

I prefer useable sprites, but if you feel like doing something elaborate, go for it!

Restrictions:
Max Size:200x200
Max Colors: 256

So have at 'er! YEEHAW.
ACHTUNG FRANZ: Enjoy it with copper wine!

This is for threatening to pull a lawsuit on me Barney, you sack of crap.



Colors: 15, I would say. I probably broke a rule anyway.

I beileve Pesty ment 256 actual unique colors on your sprites.
Arangel, you use 294 colors, and HilBilly 584. If you save it as a .gif it will automatically be reduced to 256. Just don't use mspaint for that.  :)

Although it seems to you guys that you used a small amount, your programs automatially anti-aliased it creating much more than 15 or 8 colors.

HillBilly

Yeah, well, it's the thought that counts. Hi-res graphics are way too ugly in 256, so you can just withdraw my submission.

Sam.

not to contradict you, but this version fo your sprite only has 256 colours. I see little difference.

Bye bye thankyou I love you.

Here is a big one.



He actually is SO big, that he exceeds the dimension restrictions.  ;) Well, since I don't have the time to make him look better, he wouldn't have won, anyway. Not that I ever would win the Sprite Jam ... Guess, I'm dreaming again.

Mordalles, I really like your try-serra-tops. The first time I saw him I thought it was a photograph ... I then realized, that there are no photos of prehistoric beings.  ;D

cheers

There. 200x200, although he doesn't fill all the boundaries of that size (he's prolly like, 180x165 or somethin'), with only 6 colors...

EDIT: I hate myself... I saved it as a jpg, and now it sucks... I'm so ashamed :(

Here. I don't know if we're allowed multiple entries, but in case we are or in case the jpg doesn't count for some reason, here's another. Let's see if someone can come up with what I used as a reference pic  :P

I'm a bit new to this, but anyway...



Yeah, it's not really a dinosaur but it's sorta a mix of various dinosaurs.

I'm also very bad at legs/feet as you can tell.

QuoteDamien,

Well, your first version was in .png format. I saved it to disk and opened with IrfanView and clicked on image information or something simmilar. Then a window poped up showing the number of unique colors.

A .gif file is restricted to 256 colors (correct me if I'm wrong) so if you use a program that can convert to gif without distorting the image (photoshop, gimp, graphics gale,...) it automatically converts it to 256 colors or less.

I hope this answers your question.  :)

Arcangel

Yes Damien,

I rework the image with Fireworks MX 2004 and export to .gif with option of 128 color only ( I have the option to work with 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 colors or custom color palette. I chose 128 fit good for me.

Thx for your observation.
