Most of us know about werewolves, werebears (diablo fanatics like me) and wererabbits.
Now make a sprite of any werecreature you can imagine (land, sea or air), or do one of the ones mentioned above.
Restrictions:
no more than 32 colours
size: 150x150 (upper limit)
hope the topic is alright, and atleast one person enters.Ã, ;D
edit: sorry if it wasnt clear.
Size doesn't matter. :P
EDIT: Here is my entry.

Ãœberhyena. Sorry, due to fact I'm writing the exams for the whole May, I don't have the time to finish it.
Enter whatever you want, the point is everybody has a unique style and by making it higher some more high res people can enter.. not all the high res entries won the prior jam...

A Wereman.
Eytmology and tautology are fun.
You've heard of werewolves and werebears and even wererabbits, but here in Africa we have werelions. We live in constant fear. They appear during african sunsets.
150x150, 13 colours
drawn originally entirely by me, deal with it. ;D

I'm not sure if I understand the topic correctly. To me, a werewolf is a person that changes into a (normal) wolf from time to time. So, unless I draw the sprite during the actual shape-shifting (something that should probably done with animation rather than a static sprite), it would simply look like an ordinary human or an ordinary animal. Or are we supposed to draw anthropomorphic animals? And if that is the case, is there a distincition between "werecreatures" and "furries" I should be aware of?
To Anym: Mordalles is the last word since it's his theme, but my understanding based on the etymology (so aptly seized upon by Las Naranjas) is that any sort of combination of a human and a creature would be acceptable. "Were" just means "man", so "werewolf" means man-wolf, "werebear" means man-bear, and "wereman" is of course a man-man (though Las Naranjas' sprite doesn't look nearly manly enough to warrant such a categorizationÃ, :=).
That a man-wolf might be something different to you than it is to someone else doesn't seem to be a problem, in my estimation, though if Mordalles says it's a problem then it is. ;)
Oh, and here's my entry:

I'm not even sure if this qualifies, but I enjoyed making it and I thought the paradigm was looking a bit complacent.
I drew a werething.

Now if someone could tell me what the hell is that thing?
Is that traced pslim? If so could you put a reference up?
WOWÃ, :o krysis that is amazing!! I wish I was as good as you!
privateer, krysis, buloght and pslim all have the right idea of what i meant with "were".
werewolf = halfman halfwolf. atleast that what i meant.
sorry, i didnt go and research the word to get the specific meaning.
las naranjas, the sarcasm is duely noted.
Buloght, that is just :o :o :o , superb !

It's heavily photoreferenced but not traced. I actually tried to trace the human body initially, thinking I couldn't possibly draw it, but when I squished it down I discovered that tracing what I thought were the outlines (which didn't turn out to be the outlines when I referenced the full size photo) looked awful.
The oriental shorthair (drool) I used is here:
(http://img348.imageshack.us/img348/2087/sidecat37ke.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
The human I used for reference can't be posted here, I don't think, but I could PM it to you.Ã, :=
My entry is not all that spritey, and I don't mind too much if it's disqualified on that account. It was fun to make and I like it (despite some glaring flaws) and I thought all those half-naked chicks that get posted needed some balancing out. ;)
All better.
Here is a post from the usual gang of idiots! (one of them anyway ;D)

Here is my half-serious entry... Weresaddam. Didn't spend more than about 10-15 minutes on this one as I was feeling a bit uninspired. Wheter this is a sprite or not could be discussed, but let's not get into that. ;)

Oh, and it seems like my orc decided to go offline (it's back now) just in time for the judging of the last sprite jam. Krysis, did you get the chance to see it?

I'm not sure if it fits the requirements of this topic, but whatever...
here's my first entry : it's a Weresquirrel.
(http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7195/weresquirrel25sb.png)
The picture should contain 17 colors, but I might have used some more by mistake. But as I couldn't find any freeware program which can count colors and is running on a mac, I can't tell you definetly how many colors it contains. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And your sprites are great...

That's anti-aliased to the max! Did you downsize the image or something? Because it looks like there may have been 17 or so colours originally, but now you've got all the intermediate anti-aliasing colours too.
Ok. Sorry, now it's corrected.
15 colors.
Thanks a lot.

Umm clip that doesnt look like a were penguin.. . :-\
It looks like a PO'd penguin.
Afflict, could you tell Mordalles that the SJ time is over? He haven't been on the boards since 3rd May.
Hey yeah sorry will try and get hold of him on the other forums...
I don't mean to jump to conclusions, but has Mordalles left the forums?Ã, Not only is his avatar gone, but his games are no longer available in the database :-\.Ã, I hope it isn't the case...
Maybe he felt offended by that argument he has some time ago with Farlander?
Doesn't matter at the moment, maybe Afflict will find out something more.
Guys I have very sad news. MOrdalles had an encounter with the were penguin while at the zoo. So now hes also a where penguin and as everybody knows he cant type anymore...
Ps : So hes doomed to live out the rest of his life in the zoo and on full moon nights eat other penguins :(
No really no idea cant seem to get hold of him.
Afflict
I think Krysis should choose for this one by default, as this Mordalles character has not shown up, and it's already 2 days past the closing of the comp. And since he is unattainable, it's just the right thing to do...
I say Krysis should choose because he was responsible for the previous SJ.
But Krysis is competing in this one, so that wouldn't be fair to him (since he wouldn't be able to choose his own sprite). If Mordalles doesn't return, maybe get El Drey to judge (he was the runner-up last time), or open it up to voting? Or maybe get one of the mods to do it again?
Seems like voting is a good idea. We have 24 hours. Same time tomorow a winner will be anounced. Does it sound ok?
I got hold of Mordalles, he asked Darth Mandarb to judge before he went.
[edit] and he handed darth a trophy ... for those interested :)
Please, vote... Darth Mandarb won't be able to take care for the forums in some days.
Okay, so I vote Krysis, as his sprite seems the most functional and is also well-drawn, at least for me.
I vote Khrysis, for its silliness as well as functionality.
Though I've never participated myself in a Sprite Jam, though I often follow them and enjoy seeing the wonderful art that people here come up with, I hope my "vote" will still be valid.
There were lots of good entries. Good imagination you guys have and so much talent *I envys you* Ã, ;)
But, my vote goes to: buloght
Ã, What a totally freekin awesome sprite ya got there. Good stuff!
Your juicy sprite choice and style of this one brought back memories of the great classic "LionHeart" (http://alexh.umcus.org/games/lionheart/lionheart2.html) game I used to play on the "Amiga" system when I was a much younger man. Ã, ;D
Thanks barbarian :)
I vote for krysis, the master of cartoon ;)
All round cool sprites!
It's very hard for me to choose between Krysis and Buloght, since both sprites are cool for very different reasons...
but I will go with Buloght, for pixelling all that hair ^_^
Las Naranjas
Mr. Frisby's is the most hilarious.
I vote for pablo, for the sheer absurdity of his entry!
1st Buloght
2nd The amazing lardo
3rd Krysis
I vote for MashPotato because I would so love to see that sprite's talking animation. It doesn't look evil so much as like you've gotten on its last nerve, and I wonder what it would say to you.Ã,Â
I look at it and imagine that it was just a normal flower until you irritated it to the point that it developed sentience just to be able to tell you off. ;D
I vote for Buloght. Cool lion. ;D
Me votes Puddin'! What a great sprite! :)
I vote
1) Buloght
2) Krysis
3) TheAmazingLardo
And a special co-op prize for Pablo & pslim for cracking me up like almost never before.
I vote
1) Krysis
2) Mash Potato I think its cool because nobody else drew vegetables
3) Buloght
1) Krysis & Buloght
2) The Amazing Lardo
3) Vacant....
So, my vote goes to... Buloght
I vote for buloght since he put the effort in and it is a sprite (thanks petteri)
thought krysis had an excellent sprite too.
I think we should close voting by the end of tonight its been 3 days already without a new SJ so we have voted for two days ???
Anyway get your votes in people so we can get a new SJ!
So what well say by 12 tonight.
Krysis.
Kudos to Pablo and Mash Potato for originality, and Buloght for technical brilliance. Krysis' shines in all aspects. I'd love to see it in a game!
buloght
It's been more than 24 hours of voting, so I delare myself Closer of SJ and will announce the winner ^_^. Here is the tally of the votes (I only counted first place votes, feel free to make sure I didn't miscount)
Buloght - 9 votes
Krysis - 6 votes
... plus a bunch with 1 vote
Congrats Buloght!
Thanks mashPotato :) and thanks for all the votes :)
Is this final then? Can I start a new one? if so, I'll start one in a few hours (2-4).
Yes, just let the activity live on!
