You know what day it is kids! Today's Nelson Mandela's birthday (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela).
Okay, I AM a month early. But not everybody has to realize that.
So, these two weeks, we're having a Mandela Memorial Sprite Jam (If he was dead). Topic is:
PRISONERS
Make a sprite that represents a prisoner, be it a real criminal in jail or just a goose in a cage.
Just something that is trapped within something else.
- Colour limit: 20
- Ends June the 30th.
- As always, bonuseseses for animations and backgrounds!
Trophies coming soon (hopefully), unless somebody volunteers to make some.

Think you're a month early. Unless you meant June 30th? I'm a little confused..Ah I see what you meant now I think=)
Good theme tho. I have an idea already so will try to enter this.
Psssht, don't blow my cover :P
Awesome theme, will try to pixel something before the 30th. :)

Nice!=) Glad you remembered the air holes ;)
EDIT: Not my entry, just practising my animation. SpacePaw can claim as his own if he likes, otherwise no harm done=)

LOL! I love that :) I really do :) I don't claim the rights though... It wouldn't be fair :P
Great entries so far! Didn't expect this to be such an interesting theme. 'Specially like Greenboy's optimist...
By the way, 3 days ago. Is there already someone with an entry that he wouldn't finish in these days?

I agree. She looks like she belongs in Fear or Bioshock. Well drawn though.

(this image is supposed to be animated. If you can't see the animation, then blame your security settings or your web browser or the Soviets).
Haha SpacePaw, do you know how that fairy ends up as?
Spoiler
The oversized Sprite Jam trophy that I gave to the winners in rounds I hosted. Like this (http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2007-5/1259240/eunconterwinc.gif).

Too bad the bubbles aren't animated. ;)

Yes, I got lazy. I was using a very awkward tool and it would have required me to manage the eyes speed and the bubbles speed independantly . So I said "SCREW IT!", because I'm a man of moderation.
This will be closed at 16:00 (4 pm) GMT. Or does anyone need an extension?
Can't see myself managing to enter this one, with or without an extension, sorry.
All really good entries though, I look forward to the result=)

AWESOME SPRITE
NO, IT'S NOT FAIR! IN THE LAST FEW HOURS!
I hate you. :'(
Very nice loominous.
Okay, so I am a bit late... but as an compensation: Fancy difference this time!!
DEMOCRATIC VOTINGS!
Vote for your favourite of the 6 entries. Voting will end at sunday, again, 16:00 GMT.

To be honest I've never be in a sprite Jam where there was a vote. Who votes? The contestants vote, too?
I think all can vote, with the minor nuisance of not being able to vote for themselves.
Exactly. It's just like every other competition with voting (except background blitz, which is a bit more complex). Everybody can vote, just post the contestants name here.
All for the democratic process, so here's a vote for SpacePaw, and his nifty take on the theme.
one vote for loominous!
My vote goes to SookieSock =)
I vote for SpacePaw. :)
same for me, SookieSock.
I throw my vote to loominous.
I vote for GreenBoy then :) it's my favorite in this thread :)
And thanks for the votes on me! :) I'm honored :)
Monsieur OUXX
loominous and the Mr. Bean sprite
I like the fishy...so: Monsieur OUXX
(plus I like voting...so I vote OUXX twice ;) )
Hey, aren't people supposed to vote for 6 entries?
I vote for myself Saberteeth, because his nickname is matching my profile picture so well.
I don't for 5 other people because nobody did it, so it wouldn't make any sense. :)

Nope. "Vote for your favourite of the 6 entries" can also be read, "Out of the 6 entries, vote for your favorite one."

"Vote for your favourite of the 6 entries"
Ooops, I kept reading "Vote for your 6 entries" again and again.
My vote goes to SookieSock. The sprite somehow reminds me of Emily Enough (although admittedly not necessarily the artwork!) which is definitely cool! :)
As much as I like loominous' entry, my vote goes for SpacePaw and his highly original and funny idea.
As much as I like Loominous' version (and hate Mr. Bean) I have to go with Sookiesock's for being colorful, creepy, and able to insert directly into a game.

Original? Pah, it's just some Sprite Jam in the early stage of production: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=33123.msg429301#msg429301 (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=33123.msg429301#msg429301) :D :D :D

Honestly I have never seen that before. I watched some "Let's Play" of Zelda and I sort of thought of a fairy in a jar :P

I know, I know, I was just kidding :)
Considering the lack of voting activity, and it being five days already, it might be time to conclude this one.
Just saw this, my vote goes to SookieSock.

Hey! Hand of God! Do your thing!
I go for Loominous, great entries everyone!! :D
Voting still going?
If yes, I vote for SookieSock's sprite, for it is not only damn cute, but also quite functional as it is.
Okay, so, I think it is pretty clear.
This semi-month's winner is SookieSock!
Congrats Sooks!
Congrats!=)
Yes! Congrats.
Yay ;D
I'll come up with a new topic soon.
