Title: Sprite Jam 20 - 28 October
Post by: Ago75 on Fri 20/10/2006 10:02:07
Here' s the subject for the new Sprite Jam:

Create a character suitable for anÃ,  adventure game inspired to a Cartoon Movie or a CG movie.
For CG (Computer Graphics or Computer Generated) movies I mean Ice Age or Finding Nemo...
For Cartoon Movie I mean something like Lilo & Stitch or Ghost in the Shell..
Every style is accepted of course...
Limits are:

Size: 150x150
Colors: 32

I'm Preparing the Prizes! Good luck !

P.s.: I'm really sorry for doing so late... and I already know that this contest is a little like the previous one, but I really like animated movies so.. don't blame me..

3 colours + transparency. It's from Princess Mononoke by the way. Wow.. I really worked hard on this. I don't usually put this much time and effort into a Sprite Jam entry. Must mean a good topic!

Mozza: That is perhaps a bit too close to this original image: http://www.visionmelody.com/myspace/stewie.png

SergioCornaga: That is lovely! Well animated too. Those little creatures were one of the top things in that movie.

Sheriff Woody (from Toy Story), an old-fashioned pull-string cowboy doll. He is Andy's favorite toy, with a special spot on the bed, and as such is the leader of the toys.

Yeah, mozza, if you put it on top they are almost identical.  Also, it is way more than 7 colors.

Post by: monkey0506 on Sat 21/10/2006 19:37:00
Excluding the AA it's only 7 colors. But it's still more of a trace-over than spritework.

Hmm, granted, it doesn't look like it, but PSP counts 85 colors in that last sprite.
Title: Re: Sprite Jam 20 - 28 October
Post by: Theeph on Mon 23/10/2006 11:18:18
Yeah that happened when I saved it... I think it's a transparency problem, because when I drew it I had my brush set on 95% opacity until I noticed it and remedied. Visually it doesn't effect the image, the colour change is so imperceptible... still if it's going to be an issue I'll try restrict it to only the actual colours I used somehow.

EDIT: There, I restricted it to exactly 32, and put the pallette in as well.

I think tracing over reference pictures is okay, doesn't show much effort though.
Title: Re: Sprite Jam 20 - 28 October

Wasn't this sorted some time ago? Tracing pics is okay when you include the reference pic with your work.

Sorry.
I didn't think it was rubbish, but IMO you sort of missed the point of a Sprite Jam. And you didn't include the reference.
The sprite didn't look original, and there have been people who cheated, so I hinted at that possibility. If I am wrong, again: sorry.

What exactly are the rules on reference pictures?
On this picture I didn't "copy," "paint over," or "trace" anything, but I tried to recreate the character.

If you used an image to directly trace or reference from it, you should include the reference image. Of course, it's up to one's own judgment. If you look at pics as reference and draw based on them, it's not serious. But when you have a specific image that you trace to make your 'own' image, it should be clear that you need to show the original pic as well as your 'version' of it. I guess the old rule applies: It doesn't count, if you don't get caught :D.
