Back in the midsts of time, there was a much unloved hand-held gaming device known as the Neo-geo pocket*, and on this obscure format was a strange fan-service card game known as SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash, which was packed with caricatures of popular videogame franchises;-


They tend to get nicked, recoloured, and used as forum avatars.
a full list can found at http://sdb.drshnaps.com/game.php?game=860


The task is as follows;-

Using the card format above, do a card for any Adventure or AGS game character (or characters). You don't have to use the SD art style (or anything Japanese), but you may find it helps when trying to pack as much detail and personality as possible into a small area. There's a limited overlap you can use to make the character(s) 'leap out' of the card.

But, just to make things interesting, there's a few restrictions;-

* You can't draw any of your own characters. So Ponch can't do barn runner etc.
- In the case of shared IPs (RON, OSD, etc), Characters that you have previously drawn are restricted. If you're in any doubt, it's probably best to assume I'll be a b'stard about it.
* You have to draw the whole thing yourself. - No copy-pasting a sprites from existing titles. 
* There's no palette limit, however bonus points will be rewarded for clarity. Pixel art is preferable to scaled images.

For some reason the trophies this time around are card playing bunny girls, everyone else will receive a Schrödinger's grue trophy.

- First - Second - Third - (I've lost the grue somewhere)

Am I allowed to 'reformat' the card to high-res?

Nope. The characters card art must occupy the 74x64 area, although there's nothing to stop you from drawing high res and scaling the image back down (beyond some arbitrary points deduction that may or may not have any effect).

I'll try to come up with something, this is a pretty awesome idea!  ;)

Nelly Cootalot!

I tried to do this in pixelart first but for some reason I failed miserably. I also have to admit that it doesn't have much personality, it's just a standard pose of Nelly.

I took a few liberties with this one.

Time's almost up folks, any late entries had better get their skates on.

Judging will occur tomorrow, when my hangover subsides (roughly 2pm GMT).

Vic, just out of curiousity, are there actual rules to the original game somwhere? It would make a very cool AGS game with a couple more (AGS) characters!
(Shame on me, I never owned a NeoGeo... )

Victor6

There's not much of a write-up anywhere. Your best bet would be something like gamefaqs, although none of them really do it justice, since it's as much about the reference humour (like visiting the resident evil mansion) as anything else.

A properly done AGS version would be pretty awesome though (replacing the locations with ones from AGS games too), if you could get around all the potential IP pitfalls.

Shoot! I have one in the works, but haven't had much time to work on it. I'll see if I can get it finished tonight!

EDIT: I DID get it finished!
