[SPRITE JAM 16th - 30th June] "Prisoners"

[NsMn]

You know what day it is kids! Today's Nelson Mandela's birthday. 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.

So, these two weeks, we're having a Mandela Memorial Sprite Jam [...]

- Ends July the 30th.

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.

[NsMn]

Psssht, don't blow my cover 

[Saberteeth]

Awesome theme, will try to pixel something before the 30th.

[SpacePaw]

Fairy in a jar! Wanted to try a small sprite much harder than bigger ones...
17 colors
32x48 pixels

[straydogstrut]

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=)

[SookieSock]

Edit; ooops didn't see the colour rule

I will submit a modified one soon

Edit2: New one with 18+1 colours

[straydogstrut]

That's absolutely gorgeous Sookie, even if it does creep me out=S

[Saberteeth]

Holocaust prisoner.




72x120, 12+1 colors

[GreenBoy]

"I could do without the sodomy, but at least the coffee is good."

12 colours.

[SpacePaw]

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

[NsMn]

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?

[Xellie]

That's absolutely gorgeous Sookie, even if it does creep me out=S

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

[Monsieur OUXX]

(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).

[Gilbert]

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.

(If you can't see the animation, then blame your security settings or your web browser or the Soviets).

Too bad the bubbles aren't animated.

[Monsieur OUXX]

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.

[NsMn]

This will be closed at 16:00 (4 pm) GMT. Or does anyone need an extension?

[straydogstrut]

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=)

[loominous]

Another one heading for the clink.

[Monsieur OUXX]

AWESOME SPRITE

NO, IT'S NOT FAIR! IN THE LAST FEW HOURS!

I hate you.  :'(

[NsMn]

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.

[Monsieur OUXX]

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?

[Jim Reed]

I think all can vote, with the minor nuisance of not being able to vote for themselves.

[NsMn]

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.

[loominous]

All for the democratic process, so here's a vote for SpacePaw, and his nifty take on the theme.

[evenwolf]

one vote for loominous!

[straydogstrut]

My vote goes to SookieSock =)

[Wyz]

I vote for SpacePaw.

[Ryan Timothy B]

same for me, SookieSock.

[ddq]

I throw my vote to loominous.

[SpacePaw]

I vote for GreenBoy then it's my favorite in this thread
And thanks for the votes on me! I'm honored

[Jim Reed]

Monsieur OUXX

[Andorxor]

loominous and the Mr. Bean sprite

[Misj']

I like the fishy...so: Monsieur OUXX

(plus I like voting...so I vote OUXX twice )

[Monsieur OUXX]

Hey, aren't people supposed to vote for 6 entries?

[Monsieur OUXX]

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.

[evenwolf]

Hey, aren't people supposed to vote for 6 entries?

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

[Monsieur OUXX]

"Vote for your favourite of the 6 entries"

Ooops, I kept reading "Vote for your 6 entries" again and again.

[Intense Degree]

My vote goes to SookieSock. The sprite somehow reminds me of Emily Enough (although admittedly not necessarily the artwork!) which is definitely cool! 

[Ilyich]

As much as I like loominous' entry, my vote goes for SpacePaw and his highly original and funny idea.

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

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.

[Monsieur OUXX]

SpacePaw and his highly original and funny idea.

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 

[SpacePaw]

Original? Pah, it's just some Sprite Jam in the early stage of production 

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

[Monsieur OUXX]

Honestly I have never seen that before.

I know, I know, I was just kidding

[loominous]

Considering the lack of voting activity, and it being five days already, it might be time to conclude this one.

[cat]

Just saw this, my vote goes to SookieSock.

[Monsieur OUXX]

Considering the lack of voting activity, and it being five days already, it might be time to conclude this one.

Hey! Hand of God! Do your thing!

[Dualnames]

I go for Loominous, great entries everyone!!

[Crimson Wizard]

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.

[NsMn]

Okay, so, I think it is pretty clear.

This semi-month's winner is SookieSock!

Congrats Sooks!

[straydogstrut]

Congrats!=)

[Monsieur OUXX]

Yes! Congrats.

[SookieSock]

Yay

I'll come up with a new topic soon.
