The Pic Remake Ball 20/5/6-31/5/6

Okay. Sorting out what's what.
First of all, i do not personally think the current rendition in the first post is that bad.
Second, i have, after much though, decided to make the competiton more a "Remake" than a color.
Hence the new title.
So, what's this all mean?
Check the first post.
Hopefully this will put the initial squabbles to rest and
actually start this comp the way it was supposed to.
cheers,
-fluke.
PS: This means that the pic is now a color pic, and the real mona lisa as opposed to a cartoony, pixellated one-which means that this comp is more now for fun that pixel-art skills.

I think the competition could a fun one, flukebake. It would be fun to follow a competition where everybody colours the same drawing and interesting.

Maybe the content should be more in the lines of adventure games, colouring of sprites or backgrounds or objects inside backgrounds. Remake is a lot like photoshop challenge.

...a funkay trophy for their signature.

Trophies: I am saddened to once again see someone wanting to give trophies. I for one think they are perfect for sprite jams, they fit. I love the idea. But I think people has gone overboard with the idea wanting and giving trophies everywhere. It would be nice to see a trophy under someones signature and knowing that guy has won a sprite jam, he must be good at character art. You don't want to wonder what competition it is for. I think it's a nice way of quickly finding out how good the guy is if he offers help. But for other comps it is silly. I think possibly it is a nice idea for background blitzes and maaaayyyyybe animation contests (but animated trophies) though i think that is too much. Keep it at sprite jams and do not blow this out of proportion. Are we 5-yearolds that want rewards for every little thing we do? Isn't the experience worth more? When the trophies started appearing in the sprite jams I loved them, but when they started appearing in other competitions I got a foul taste in my mouth. If it's kept at the sprite jams it is unique and fun, but as soon as you try generalize it becomes just another small irritation with all kinds of trinkets in everyone's signature. Just to be clear, trophies at sprite jams should be up to the hoster.

But that's just IMO, so sorry if i so sound a little harsh.

Hope the challenge turns out a success.

Okay, can a mod please lock this thread now,
so that i can sort everything out?
Sorry, again, for this fumble, let's hope this works out.
