Sprite Jam Feb. 12th - 18th - Cutey Monsters!

Pesty · Mon 13/02/2006 00:16:26

Sometimes monsters can be really scary and they like to spook you! But sometimes they're not scary at all! In fact, sometimes they're downright adorable! So this is the task I set to you all: make me cutey monsters! It can be anything you want, so long as it's a monster and it's adorable!

Restrictions:

Size: None, but nothing more than 300x300 please. Let's be reasonable.

Colors: 32 and a background color (but if you go over by, like, one color, don't fret)

Make me awesome things, please!

P.S. I am gonna be gone for the most part of next week (monday to friday), so I can't make any comments or anything, but I will be around to judge when it's over. Whee.

I HAVE MAGIC POWERS. I HYPNOTIZED FARLANDER SO THAT I COULD WIN AND NOW I HAVE MAGICALLY LOCKED THE PREVIOUS SPRITE JAM AT AN INHUMAN SPEED. MWAHAHAHAHA.

Helm · Mon 13/02/2006 01:22:09

64x64, 15 colours, kind of a quickie but does the trick!

DanClarke · Mon 13/02/2006 01:59:08

got bored so knocked one up:

2x

I've named her the Domino Queen. Pink, adorable but ultimately deadly. Rumour has it she eats the head of male dominoes after mating! Eugh!

7 colours.

BOYD1981 · Mon 13/02/2006 17:35:55

not a proper entry, i made this a while ago for another sprite jam, but he is a monster (he's actually bob the pink-eyed snotgoblin), some people might find him cute...

MrColossal · Mon 13/02/2006 21:29:21

Less chatter more sprites please.

Mordalles · Tue 14/02/2006 00:02:15

mrcolossal, don't you owe us a sprite? farlander did enter your animation comp. a deal is a deal. 8)

here is mine, reference taken from a warhammer picture in a book that my brother has.

247x269, +-7 colours

oh, i don't do cute.

Afflict · Tue 14/02/2006 00:06:43

Wow, I want one Ill trade you my puppy!

Mordalles · Tue 14/02/2006 00:39:28

is it a really evil looking doorsto . . . puppy?

Afflict · Tue 14/02/2006 01:15:41

Yeah, really evl looking nowhere near as cute as yours!

My entry is still coming...

Squinky · Tue 14/02/2006 03:05:29

Pay no attention to his banana hammock....

Kinoko · Tue 14/02/2006 05:07:29

Wow, this is awesome ^_^ I'm totally joining! This'll be the second comp I've ever joined here (not trying to win, just wanna join the fun!). Let's see if I can knock something together in the 2 hours before I head home.

(Dan - my mouth just about fell on the floor when I saw your entry - beautiful! That goes for Mordy, Buloght and Helm, among others!)

Krysis · Tue 14/02/2006 08:04:50

The Funbun - This demon might seem harmless, even cute at first, but as soon as it jumps on your face, trying to poke your eyes out and eat your nose, you'll have to change your mind. Eats dogs.

Great entries everyone.

FruitTree · Tue 14/02/2006 15:22:01

such a nice theme I decided to enter!

150x150 - 4 colours

x2

it's Chutney!

this lil fella is usually invisible but I managed to capture him in paint!

his name's Chutney, he feeds on the feeling of dissappointment when you ask a girl out and she says no. he's most active around valentinesday!
I found out about his excistence right after my valentine cancelled our date!

monster-fact: Chutney bounces!

Revan · Tue 14/02/2006 16:03:41

here you go... Be warned dont turn your back on this lil fella...

rharpe · Wed 15/02/2006 05:53:09

Just a tiny update to make my little polka-dotted friend more "cute":

Thanks for the suggestions, Afflict.

Grapefruitologist · Wed 15/02/2006 06:18:41

What does 32 colors mean? I have to draw everything with only 32 colors as a limit? How do I find out how many colors something is? (I'm new sorta.)

all you have to do is count the number of colours you are using (can be easier somtimes if whenever you use a different colour you place a dot of it in the upper left corner.......)

Azaron · Wed 15/02/2006 14:19:47

My second contest entry ever, and my first sprite jam.

Hurried a bit due to procrastination....

225x300, 13 colors counting the background

Totoro · Wed 15/02/2006 20:29:25

I should have finished working on the hair, but I won't be able to work on the sprite anymore until the 18th... so I make this my entry

63x144
28 Colors

Grapefruitologist · Wed 15/02/2006 21:54:00

Um, is it okay if I have a couple different entries?

No more than 25 colors, but I don't know the exact number.

Kyle. He looks cute, but, believe me, he's a monster. 11 colors.

Cute little fluffy puppies/wild stray fanged wolves (as shown below, when they grow up.) About 7 colors, I think.

There are really two monsters in this picture-Kyle, on the left, and a cute, fluffy, little, rabid, fanged, wild, stray wolf on the right. But, this picture doesn't count, because there are two many colors, but I decided to show you it anyway (but, it doesn't count. You can remove it if you want.)

frankenberger · Thu 16/02/2006 03:46:41

This is Billy. Billy the Zombie.

143 x 264. 17 colours.

Not so much cute as pathetic and slightly unnerving.

=The=Brat= · Thu 16/02/2006 07:50:57

Thats Awsome....god, i love cartoony sprites. Kinoko! i wanna see your entry

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 16/02/2006 07:58:33

This is my dog and I find her adorable. Burglars may not, however...Particularly when she spits acid at them.

Kinoko · Thu 16/02/2006 10:48:04

Okay, a bit late but I felt like taking a break from my demo for a change.

These are actually gonna be some of the monsters in my game though, though I may redo them before then ^_^

(18 colours)

(17 colours)

(14 colours)

If I have to choose one to enter though, the Squirrel will do.

scourge · Thu 16/02/2006 11:27:10

Ah crap, why does girls always just GET that cute factor?

Those are really amazing kinoko!

ProgZ: Yours is awesome too.

Azaron · Thu 16/02/2006 17:22:24

Grapefruitologist · Fri 17/02/2006 22:26:28

Rharpe, that's horrible.
It's horrible for me because I'm gonna lose! (Well, obviously.)

sergiocornaga · Sat 18/02/2006 01:57:12

300x300 is much too large for me... but luckily, it isn't a target.

MrColossal · Sat 18/02/2006 06:42:45

21 colours including transparency.

Did your inspiration for this come from that little guy in Commander Keen?

That's an absolutely hip sprite, by the way, Eric!

Finkenstein · Sat 18/02/2006 07:48:47

Hello!!

MrColossal · Sat 18/02/2006 07:51:21

That's my girlfriend! Hooray!

mätzyboy · Sat 18/02/2006 17:34:56

The green one, or the pink one?

Naah

Squinky · Sat 18/02/2006 17:57:39

Fink's Picture==Awesomeness.

Damien · Sat 18/02/2006 18:21:42

Alun · Sat 18/02/2006 22:00:53

Eh, what the hey; I haven't entered one of these contests before, and I suppose I might as well. Though I certainly have no expectation of winning, with all these great entries.

Anyway, here's mine, such as it is (it didn't help that my Wacom tablet just broke and I had to do it with the mouse...I know some people can do amazing artwork with just a mouse, but it's not what I'm used to):

3x

32 colors, counting transparency. Could've done it in fewer without much loss of quality, I guess, but if you're allowing us a full 32 colors I figured I might as well use them.

Not intentionally... it was probably something to do with Eric's Animation competition though. And he did feature in there.

Jam Torkberg · Sat 18/02/2006 23:42:42

Greetings, all! Thanks to Finkenstein for re-re-re-introducing me to the AGS boards!

Aww, look, he has a present for you!

Pesty · Sun 19/02/2006 00:24:53

Holy cow why do I have to choose a winner? I love all the cutey monsters!! But if I had to decide the most cutey monstery sprite I'd have to say Jess wins Jess wins Jess wins. I love his sweater! And he's sitting on a piggy guy! If it were any cuter, it'd explode.

Seriously, though, holy cow. Awesome, awesome entries. I think the true winner of the sprite jam is me!

WanderLady · Sun 19/02/2006 00:28:41

FruitTree,

Absolutely lovely. As awe inspiring as everyones are, yours stands out. Great, great colors.

Finkenstein · Sun 19/02/2006 00:33:59

Weeeeeeee!!!!
Hurray!! Oh man, first post and I win! Though technically it's just my first post under a new name. I swear I come to AGS all the time! I just never say anything hehe.

Everybody's sprites are awesome! I can never get enough adorable monsters, if I could I'd make that the theme for my sprite jam too.
woot!

rharpe · Sun 19/02/2006 01:16:25

Great Job Finkenstein!!! (You are a tough talent to beat.)
