Sprite Jam: May 15 - May 24

This week's subject: Who has the worst job?

- Sprite must depict the person with the worst job in the world. This should not be a job that exists in real life. In other words, be creative..
- 20 colors, 90 x 120 pixels

Animations are welcome, but there will be no monkey love from me.

The worst job in the world: God! Knowing everything, never having anything to do, and worst of all, having to listen to us annoying mortals all the time!

BOYD1981 · Fri 16/05/2003 12:43:09

i should imagine these guys have it pretty hard...

he's a microsoft bug tester

Flippy_D · Sun 18/05/2003 15:20:37

Janitorial work is so much fun.

Yay! My first Jam Entry:

The guy who tests new poisons!

Ali · Fri 23/05/2003 14:08:46

My first shot at a jam. Is it OK that I drew it landscape?

He's a mountain sharpener. Keep your peaks their jaggiest with this top-rate mountain sharpening service.

Flippy_D · Fri 23/05/2003 18:24:53

How incredibly depressing. That's awesome, Ali.

veryweirdguy · Fri 23/05/2003 20:34:10

I was just thinking the same. Oh well...

earlwood · Sat 24/05/2003 03:32:03

Ali, You go your resolution reversed..it should be 90x120..you have 120x90...Change it so your entry is legit.

Squinky · Sat 24/05/2003 08:45:55

I always thought it was okay to do it either lengthwise or widthwise....

veryweirdguy · Sat 24/05/2003 09:58:50

I suppose it's Ben's call - it's his jam after all.

Flippy_D · Sat 24/05/2003 13:29:15

It's always X by Y.

I knew that it was supposed to be 90x120, but I hate drawing portrait. I don't mind if it's invalid. I knew the rules ... I knew the dangerous game I was playing...

Is there no way I can convince you that your monitors are all lying on their sides?

Yeah, I think Ali's picture is okay. I wasn't specific..

An there's still time for more people to enter the jam. Just hurry the hell up!!

Ben · Sun 25/05/2003 16:30:26

Nice. Too bad it doesn't follow ANY of the rules

I guess it's time to pick a winner now. This week's winner is Ali.

As far as creativity, I think Ali's mountain sharpener and veryweirdguy's poison tester were both very good ideas, and it was hard to decide which was better. So I decided to pick the better looking of the two. Ali's pic has an amazing level of detail..

So congrats Ali. You can host the next sprite jam.

veryweirdguy · Sun 25/05/2003 16:50:26

Does that mean I get 2nd place? Yay!

Well done Ali. I'm glad to have lost to such a good entry.

SLaMgRInDeR · Sun 25/05/2003 20:00:34

yeh, i would of picked ali's too, its creative and well made!

SLaMgRInDeR · Sun 25/05/2003 22:02:10

Thanks to everyone who was nice about my picture!

I don't really know what I have to do to host the next Jam, though. This is the only one I've entered.
Do I set a post with a subject and some specs?
Help me, I need guidance.

SLaMgRInDeR · Mon 26/05/2003 17:12:49

just post a theme and size... i think, if u cant think of anything, ask some one, cos i dont know about any1 else, but iv got plenty that i want to enter in, but if i win one, then ill set it and wont be able to enter but no one else is going to do it as there the... sorry, im waffling...

Jimi · Mon 26/05/2003 19:12:40

do it about something you like....perhaps a hobby?

Flippy_D · Mon 26/05/2003 19:31:35

You've got to post a theme, size in pixels, amount of colours allowed, and a time limit (usually a week to ten days). You can do stuff like unlimited colours and any size though.

SLaMgRInDeR · Tue 27/05/2003 21:36:51

lol, if he took jimis advise then he likes to make up excuses not to got to work (but who wouldnt?).
