I went into a auto shop the other day.Ã,Â And the guy behind the counter (who turned out to be a hell of a nice guy) at first glance reminded my of the typical 'boogie man' in your closet when you were a kid.

With that in mind, this weeks competition is:

The monster in my closet!!!

Make a sprite of that evil monster that always lived in your closet when darkness covered the land!!
NOTE: Monsters which lived under your bed are also acceptable.
NOTE: Monsters which were scary, but not evil, also acceptable.

Width: no greater than 65
Height: no greater than 125
Colors : unlimited
Restrictions : none

Have at it fellow spriters!!

This thing used to scare the hell out of me when I was younger. I don't fully remember what it stemmed from, but it's a pretty accurate depiction. Now that I look at it again, it's vaguely equine...

/mentally scarred.

BOYD1981 · Mon 31/05/2004 01:20:59

does that thing have a penis for a nose?
flippy's entry i mean, not michael jackson...

rtf · Mon 31/05/2004 01:22:19

Just what is it with you and penises, boyd?

Evil · Mon 31/05/2004 05:47:46

I've still got a monster in my closet. Fortunatly for me its C. Leks and he's got more important people to kill.

Haddas · Mon 31/05/2004 07:25:41

Heh. My monster lived in the toilet

. It was the captain from Tintin, the current avatar of DG. I was afraid he was going to stab me in the arse (Nothing sexual).

This is probably some kind of a zombie. A fat zombie. It doesn't have to be I guess. It can be whatever you'd like. I was more than likely haunted by this at some point in my early childhood. Maybe all artistic expression is subconsciously inspired by early childhood fantasies/nightmares. Also kinky sex toy designs. And where do early childhood fantasies/nightmares come from? That's right, subliminal messages in billboard ads. We've got to bring down the corporations, people. No more will the children of this hellish nation be disturbed by intense visions of fat armless legless zombies! We've got to blow up a factory. I'll meet you there.

Hmmm... This is suspicious.. A monster with a penis-nose. Flippy, did you by any chance get... molested when you were very young?

rtf · Mon 31/05/2004 17:49:11

ITS THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER PROTIST!!!!111!1!!!1!

No filters used here

Flippy_D · Mon 31/05/2004 21:30:21

That's not a penis... it's more of a... I dunno, trunk of sorts. Hell, this was years ago.

Siderant: T'ain't fair, RTF is usin' photoshop and we simple folk can only use paint. Oo-arr.

Warg · Tue 01/06/2004 13:52:47

This is my attempt... scary! $:-\$

strazer · Tue 01/06/2004 15:48:54

I always expect to bump into him in the dark...

*Points at Strazer*

Okay, you should cut us some slack...

I mean, it seems rather unfair that the same people keep winning it. There's no way an unbiased judge could say Strazer's wasn't the best here, but he just hosted one.

Maybe there should be some sort of rule: If you've hosted one recently you can't enter? By enter I mean... hmm. You could still draw a sprite for the competition, but you wouldn't be 'entering' the competition. See?

It's rather discouraging for the less skilled artists here.

MrColossal · Wed 02/06/2004 00:38:50

this is why i don't like making sprite jam a contest... and this is why when i enter i say that i don't want to win...

I would just pick someone at random or someone who showed improvement or someone who's nice anyways

Ben · Wed 02/06/2004 01:36:23

Maybe it would be better simply to pick people based on ideas they have for a sprite jam? We could have a thread where anyone can post potential sprite jam rules, and they get chosen simply by what ideas get the best response.. Or we could just have one host for the sprite jams, sort of like DG used to to with Photoshop Phridays.. Then it would just be about sharing art and learning new stuff, not about who's better..

BOYD1981 · Wed 02/06/2004 04:40:07

or maybe you should just let darth pick the winner, if strazer wins then it's no big deal, he only gets to host the next compo, and besides, darth might go for the one he likes best and not the one that looks the best, you never know, he might like penis nosed creatures...
