Title: Sprite Jam - Out of Proportion! - Winners Announced
Post by: ThreeOhFour on Sat 26/04/2008 01:57:09
For this week's Sprite Jam, I'm looking for something that is out of proportion with the rest of the image.

What do I mean by this?

I'm looking for something in which one part is far bigger or smaller than the rest of the item/character would suggest. Examples include the following:

-Large man squashed into a tiny car.
-Small ant carrying something enormous.
-Small dwarf using a large weapon.
-Normal person with one rather large hand/other limb.

There are a number of possibilities here, so let your imagination run wild.

Restrictions:

- Image is not to exceed a size of 200x200 pixels.
- No more than 64 colours should be used to create the image.

Good luck, and I look forward to seeing some imaginative entries.

There are trophies:

Gold, silver and bronze replicas of nature's own out of proportion wonder-crustacean, the fiddler crab :).

Revenge of the Slug!

Because I didn't feel like drawing a giant pinata attacking a children's party! :)

And you can't quite see it, but the man running has a comically oversized tumor in his brain.

Jumpman! Everyone was doing comdedic stuff, so I tried ti think. How could something disproportionate to the surrounding world NOT be funny?

(Midgets... Giants... A Giant Ear of Corn fallen onto a farmers house...)

Then I looked at an old genesis cver and there was the dude with a massive sword... The rest is history.

I don't have a bigger version, and the 200x200 looks like crap, but I wanted to follow the crowd and show it "up close." So, here is the original line art: (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll183/QuestionableQontent/jumpmanline.jpg)

After I finished that, I scaled it down from 1000x1000 to 200x200 and filled it in with some color!

Thanks Ben,
it's easier to get trophies when you don't participate :)
Congratulations to StrangeVisitor and ShonenAi!
