Remember the sprites of the end of the eighties and the early nineties? How cool they seemed at the beginning and how shabby after the remakes of the nineties!

Do the same! Convert any of the old sprites you want into something new and cartoony, in the style of Ben Full throttle, CMI Guybrush or Bernard. Of couse, Sierra and other non-LEC companies sprites are allowed.
EXAMPLE:
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a214/La_Lore/Guybrush.gif)
50 X 150high pixels as much. 16 colours plus background colour.
Any restrictions?
50 X 150 pixels, 16 colours (17 counting the background one...) IT's in my first post man! :D
could you post a few examples of game from that time?? i was born in 1990 so...
I was born in 1989 but I have copies of pretty much ever LucasArts adventure game from 1988 - 1998. :P
I think this is intended to be something of a nostalgia trip; so if you don't know any examples, don't enter.

Silly me, I thought that were the dimensions and colors used in your example.

i know what you mean but this topic sure sounds like fun and alot to learn :)
http://www.mobygames.com/home
It's quite easy to do your own research, just type in names of old adventure games or search on The Underdogs by year.
I thought this was not going to create controversy... I want to see King Graham, Sonny Bonds, Roger Wilco, Guybrush, Indiana Jones, Larry Vales, Bobbin Treadbare, Elaine Marley, Zack McCracken... In 50X150, 16 colours.
I won't be bad. If you pick an old arcade game I will allow you to enter. Wanna pick Luke Skywalker or The Mario Bross? Ok... try to make him Fullthrottlish... Come on people! Enties, entries, entries!!!

I tried simon from the first game. I'm definitely gonna do more. This is a fun topic :)
Done 12 colours, 50x120
[EDIT] OK, I made another one. THIS IS MY OFFICIAL ENTRY (unless you like the other one better farlanderÃ, ;) )
It's guybrush and titled what if ... what if

It captures the spirit of the sprite jam, good work!
I made another entry that I spend more time on ... in previous post.
Its Bob from MI1. You know... LeChuck's undead buddy... his head used to fall alot.
Now I feel like making a game or something.Ã, ;D

When you're all done, I would suggest choosing 1 entry so Farl can judge. ;D
But every single sprite you did is lovely! Now where's my money? ;D
thats it i'm doing Marla, just for the heck of it. Expect an update to this post, but Elaines still my entry. :P BTw nice entrys buloght, I like em. Have you ever considered making your own MI game? :P

Nice sprites buloght, though now you've left me without ideas. :P I had some other sprites here, but they looked too much larger than elaine, so they'll never see the light of day here. I can't wait to see what neat stuff you'll come up with next. :D
Oh, my! Buloght is slowly transforming into a sprite-o-matic machine. ;D
Although this is quite interesting I won't be participating, cause I have NO free time in my hands right now. Buloght are you interested in selling some???
Just kidding! Nice sprites, man.
I remember when you joined and I can tell that all your effort and training are really improving your spriting skills.

Which one do I choose?!? I am not sure about the rules, but shouldn't be a bit unfair to have a member with 34 entries having the others just one? :-\
Please, those who knows the rules tell me what shall I do... :D

Yes, Buloght must pick one as his "official" entry.
Although it's not directly related to the sprite comp, nor is it an entry, i'll just post this sprite of Monkey Island 1 Guybrush just for the heck of it, even if he is too much bigger than Elaine. :P

Firstly, welcome and thanks for the compliment.
BUT, please don't say things like this. It's very far from true. I'm still very much learning pixel art. There are some true artists here (that i can't even begin to compare myself with)
You should check out work by: big brother, bernie, stefano, progZmax, loominous, andail, etc, the list goes.
They are the real artists.
Please don't say something like this again without checking the rest of the forums and games :)
Yeah you are probably right but your characters are still realy great.Hardly wait to se that other guys work ;D.
What ever happened to opo terser and his paint masterpieces?
SHE hasnt posted for as while but she is occasionally online.
I also meant to say danClarke, Darth Mandarb, Neil Duma, and of course Opo Terser (saw some of HER work in bblitz) and MORE etc. I never realized there are so many great artists here until you try listing them ...
And what about me?!? >:(

Ok, Buloght sprites really blows everything away, really, just brilliant work, indeed. :) Great stuff.
Don't feel like I stand a chance, but I felt like doing something anyways, so I did one of everybody's favourite New Orleans bookowner and hunter of shadows - Gabriel Knight.

I committed a great sin with this one, but what's done is done...Presenting, in Full Throttle style and colors, Prince Brandon from Legend of Kyrandia! And...Malcom since he was in the reference.
Brandon is the one I made for the comp, though.

Remember: She's got a touch of exotic beauty about her ^_^ I'd even take a look at some of her close-up shots from the first game.

Bulought you should totally make an MI remake. Those graphics really capture the esscence.
Wow, amazing stuff in this thread!
But enough of the "MI remake!" - there's a huge difference between a few standing poses and all the animation that would be required.
I have proposed to Steve's post and hope to marry it, that's how much I agree with it...
Awesome stuff, the Prince Brandon sprite actually makes him look good, god I hated that guy...
Now, everyone head on over to the animation competition, eh eh eh?
I'll enter yours if you enter mine, Farlander!
Ok... Doing the work... But now you'll have to allow me to make a "From concept to Background" with a pencil sketch of a overhauled MI1 background... I am allowed? :)
Thanks! :D

I just have to add if eliane looked anything like that in monkey island I would of bought a whole lot more copies... I mean they would of sold a whole lot more copies ;D
Buloght you really outdid yourself and I would love to see a monkey island remake in the works?
Once again well done!

Soo.. When did you fihrst schtart hafing zese feelings towards Elaine?
Isnt this supposed to end today?
And the winner iiiis....?
This will end in 119 minutes (counting in the moment of this post). Be patient.
And the winner is... Pesty! By several reasons...
a)I love Pesty's legs.
b)I liked her sprite, and it made me re-discover the lovely graphics of Kyrandia. Awesome tecnique.
c)This is about quality, not quantity, sorry Bulought. It should have been unfair to reward an effort that, actually, we don't demmand. Next time effort more doing one. Not a little doing 32.
d)ProgZmax is probably the one that captures the spirit of the thing I had in mind better, but it was a bit too "Bennish", and Malcolm is too close of the original. So, I decided to give Pesty's the chance to enter in Hall of fame, ProgZmax already is.
e)Krysis, very very close, you've been the first choice till Pesty's entry.
f)Mordy... Next time make the box with the restrictions first, and paint. The Mêlée citizen was a quite good entry.
So, thanks for all!
but, but, my last entry was in the restrictions. hehehe.
anyway, congrats pesty.
going on quality, i would have thought it was between krysis and buloght. :)
my favourites were buloght monkey island 2 guybrush and krysis' ghost skelly. 2 awesome sprites. :-\

I just went with the flow, bro. I'll have you know i didn't slack off on any of them, i spent lots of time on all of them. But thanks for letting me know i'm such a bad artist.
Congrats Pesty.
This is so idiotic >:(
Wow, thanks! A winner is me! I didn't expect it at all, but I will get one started right away.
LJUBI: Don't be rude. Just because buloght didn't win doesn't mean anything. It's just a fun competition.
We take things too seriously! The ONE MILLION DOLLARS of prize money have gone to the wrong person! This is an outrage!
