Title: Sprite Jam 23.05-30.05 Steel Angels? (We have a winner!)
Post by: Krysis on Tue 23/05/2006 21:48:07
Steel angels! OK, this one gives you some freedom doesn't it... Make something that could be called a steel angel. What exactly that is I am not sure so feel free to test your character creation skills. Could be an character, a vehicle, player, a villan, etc. I want to see is some good metal shine or feathers.

Restrictions:
80x80 pixels.
16 colours.
usefull in a GAME.
Must be made by you... for this sprite jam.
some metal, wings and/or cool stuff like that.

Yup, If that is your best idea and you think it fits the requirements. This one is about originality - how can you incoroporate two little words into something good for a game and make sure people (me!) like it. It was either this topic or another Knights/Robots/Elves/Cowboys.
I want to see good ideas and good sprites.

I think it would be hard to draw a plane in that small of a size... I'll try though. when I enter sprite jams, I don't enter for the idea, I usually enter for the art.

Wrong. With a good idea you can make an interesting sprite/stuff without too much artistic effort, but without it -- it always will be something that you throw out after one glance.

Are we allowed 2 entries? I remember a previous Sprite Jam where we could do that..

Make a GOOD ONE first, then ask for another.

This is a katana, but for our hero Hirohitsu it is a 'Steel Angel' as this was a gift from the Gods. the weapon itself has a great legacy. It was wielded only by the greatest of warriors and it's power is amazing.

The steel angel: a rare species of butterfly whose delicate wings shine like thin sheets of metal.

I wanted to do something that was not actually made of steel! ^_^
How to use in a game: background scenery, or a quest that involves finding this elusive creature...

Hello all!

It has been few years since I posted in forums and I think even a year that I last visited, but yesterday when I came back to look how things are I got this sudden urge to at least take part in SJ.

Let's see if I'll be around more on this summer and maybe even work for some games. Anyhow, it's delighting to see everything still up and running! This has always been a great community.

Now back to the topic. My steel angel:

300%(http://koti.mbnet.fi/paajanen/ags/mikko_steel_angel_3x.gif)

80x80px, 15 colors + transparent.

Even though I don't think myself as a top-artist here's also a step-by-step progression:
(http://koti.mbnet.fi/paajanen/ags/step_by_step_steel_angel.gif)

Okay, okay. It has it's influences from Eurovision song contest winner Lordi (the demonic face), but that was part of my idea (steel angel->heavy metal, you see).

Wings and armor are steel, as clearly can be seen from the image, thus he is: The Steel Angel. ;)

Good luck all!
