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!
Victory is mine!

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.

clip, my little brother would love your sprite, for he is a huge toy story fan ;D
Yeah, mozza, if you put it on top they are almost identical. Also, it is way more than 7 colors.
Excluding the AA it's only 7 colors. But it's still more of a trace-over than spritework.
Here is my entry:

Hmm, granted, it doesn't look like it, but PSP counts 85 colors in that last sprite.
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.

It's not brilliant, but it's Donkey from Shrek.
17 colours.

Hey, look, I mirrored and resized (badly, too) a Finding Nemo cover:

I think tracing over reference pictures is okay, doesn't show much effort though.
I have made another entry because this is such a great topic and its good for more practise, I hope that is okay.
It's Simba from "The Lion King", 10 colours.

Wasn't this sorted some time ago? Tracing pics is okay when you include the reference pic with your work.
i only took the outline of the head and shell the rest of my work was done on my own actually and so what if u think its rubish :'( would u like me to take it off or something :'(
(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k218/Lilemx/nemo.png)
its NEMO!!!
ok i did this totally free hand ::)
hope this is ok...
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.
Your new on'es better anyway lilemX

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.
thanx chickyÃ, ;) sorry i got a bit wound up yesterday about it all, i dont actually know why but oh well its only a bit of practice and funÃ, :) i wont trace an image again :P
