The Animation Competition - WINNER: NEIL DNUMA

Al_Ninio · Mon 07/03/2005 19:37:30

This has been discussed over and over again on IRC, and after some procrastination, it has been decided to start an Animation Competition!

What happens is this:

A base sprite is supplied, and a theme. Participants must use the given sprite for their animation.
This is done mostly so people who feel their drawing skills aren't to par can participate as well.

Each competition will last 11 days. If there is enough response to this one, that is.

The starter of each competition will decide on the winner.

The winner, who will decide on the next competition's theme, must also supply a sprite. It doesn't have to be an amazing piece of art. Just something that won't be too hard to animate.

So, let us begin!

Our first theme is "conveying an emotion"!
One of the most important uses of animation in a game, in my opinion. Making the player see what your character FEELS.
You may use any emotion you wish: surprise, disgust, happiness, love... The sky's (almost) the limit.

For this competition, we will use the king of placeholder graphics, our own beloved... Roger!

You may use the side view, front view, or both, if you wish.
Please remember to state which emotion you are trying to convey.

Remember: Convey an EMOTION!

Happy animating!

It's a far cry, but the emotion is, that roger has a fear of showing emotions, and needs a puppet to do it... Then he suddenly has a panic attack in which he shakes the puppet off, after which he puts it on again.

Self explanatory, I hope.

This reminds me of http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2544 THE SUPER KANSAS CITY WORLDSKIPPERS VS. THE SOVIET COMMUNAUTS!

Hahahhaa ProgZmax!

if you are a fan of Futurama, then i'd like to say your Roger's acting abillities come very close to Calculon. (WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIII)

You did a great job!

Pudding: I HATE YOU!!!

Privateer Puddin' · Tue 08/03/2005 16:38:27

I know it was a bad animation, quality and content, but .. what?

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Tue 08/03/2005 16:48:23

Thanks, Oneway

. I tried to make him shout "Whyyy!" to see which looked better, but in the end I settled on (Dr. Evil voice) "NooOOOooo!"

Privateer- I think you stole JudgeDeadd's idea

Indie Boy · Tue 08/03/2005 16:51:58

progz what made you use a broom?

Privateer Puddin' · Tue 08/03/2005 16:57:12

roger wilco is a janitor.

Neil Dnuma · Tue 08/03/2005 17:05:00

It's a happy Roger, in slow motion...

He's not finished, still quite messy... but I had enough of him :

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Tue 08/03/2005 21:32:41

hehe I like it Neil, but with that scrolling thing behind him it almost looks like he's doing a freaky walk down a conveyor belt

Neil Dnuma · Tue 08/03/2005 22:15:00

Heh I know

But he was even more freaky without the scrolling, as he appeared to be dancing on a turd

Yours is brilliant though! Nice job!
