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.

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! ;)
Just started training with a graphics tablet hope you like ;D

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.

Go, Annie Android!
Cool a golden Promocard
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... )
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!

That is one lovely card, Amelie!
Auuuugh! I'm late! I'll draw one this evening, I promise! I MUST!
I am amazed by the sheer quality of the entries! Clap clap everyone!
I might not make it before the downtime, but will post immediately after! Just need to clean up the sprite some more!
Np. I'll wait until after the downtime.

Sorry this is a little late. I lost the grue trophy*, so I had to do a stand in.
Kinda a tough decision due to the sheer awesomeness of the entries here, but;-
(http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/z1zh1p6z6ljfxk0olvms_gold.gif) First - Amélie
(http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/g6zz7uj0knlh2r9d64_silver.gif) Second - Eric
(http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/wpczfbcqtl06ouq2mx_bronze.gif) Third - WHAM

Congrats to everyone who entered. Amélie gets to host the next round.
* Finding it would involve extinquishing the light source, a potentially being eaten.
Whee! My first Sprite Jam trophy! :) Congrats Amélie!
Oh, what a sporty jam!
It's gallant that in a line of equal unique entries real gentlemen let the young girl win. I feel honoured by this golden bunny - we all know in real life always the purple tentacle wins. ;)
See you all back soon.
Btw, Victor6 - the pixel artworks in your recent posts look both cute and arcade, I'll have to study them in detail.
A win well deserved for Amélie! Thanks for choosing me for a trophy as well. This is my first trophy!
Congrats all around- this has been one cool theme! (And the standin-trophy's awesome too!)
