Title: Sprite Jam 5 - 15 may
Post by: n3tgraph on Mon 05/05/2003 09:59:04
I won last sprite J. So here goes:

Imagine you are working in a team on a game. You get to draw characters of your choice.

Size:
Height - 90 pixels
Width - whatever you choose

Colours - unlimited

You can choose from:
- the boss of a large company
- the evil coffee lady
- the handyman
- the security guard
- the office dullard
- the cook (which always makes horrid food)
- the sexy secretary

Keep in mind - the funnier the better ;)
Animation will gain extra points

You may also combine 2 characters in one sprite

Happy spriting! :)


(note: this is not for a game I'm trying to make)

by the way...

It is allowed that 2 participants draw the same sprite.
So if someone also wants to draw the evil coffee lady, you can ;)

lol, they CAN be used for a game - if someone decides to.
I was just saying it's not my plan to get free graphics for my game or something through the sprite jam :P

Here's my attempt for the first time I've ever entered an artwork-related competition/activity....

It's the evil coffee lady with some crappy animation:

Get it?  She's an evil "coffee lady"!  And she has to be kept in a blue cup!  Aha, ha.  I kill me.

Yeah, you just try it!  I've got the Evil Coffee Lady on my side.  She'll...uh...spill all over you.  And it'll be really uncomfortable and inconvenient and probably stain your clothes and possibly burn you or something.  Then you'll be sorry.

Youll get a nasty burn and you'll put  a balm on.. and thatll fix you right up.  

That coffee lady sure is evil.  there is no warning about how hot contents are.

Here's my hot secretary:

Oooo... Who-hoo. SexySec, Ben. (growl) If I drew one, it will be fat and ugly. That's why I'm going to draw a bad and ugly boss dude with a woman growing out of his ass. Hehehe...

Ok. Here it is. Hope you all like...

Note: I have decided not to add an animation because noone has paid me money to see a naked boob. Maybe next year, you sick, sick bastards.

My sad attempt at an entry. It looked good when I started at 2 am, but now it just looks messy..

Anyway, here's a sexytary. I bet she's real hot under all them clothes. 26 colors, 87x87, animated. She's a bit large and nearsighted, which makes typing difficult. She's also a bit dazed because her slimfast shake is wearing off.

(http://gallery.passion4art.com/members/weaseltit/sexyterybg.gif)
large non-animated image, simply to show detail.

(http://gallery.passion4art.com/members/weaseltit/sexytery.gif)
the official entry in all its glory. I think she could have used a potted plant on her desk though.

I generally regard sprites as things done in paint or a similiar fashion... People who can handle/have photoshop can stomp all over paint work just by using a few tools. I would say it is a little unfair, and I like it when people specify paint only.

SLAMGRINDER: He didn't do two, he posted one at a larger scale... which would be why they were exactly the same. Unless I'm missing something and he posted one earlier. Also, think stuff over before you say it, an unplanned sentence can cause large amounts of stress to the recipient.
Title: Re:Sprite Jam 5 - 15 may
Post by: Ben on Wed 07/05/2003 20:31:28
I guss it is hard to define what a sprite is. But in general, things that are antialiased to blend in with only the background they were drawn on (The coffee cup, the candyman), and things that have been resized and resampled in photoshop (animated coffee lady) are not considered sprites. Basically, if it wouldn't look right in a game over a background, then it's not a sprite. But this isn't a debate, so I'll save further whining until the jam is over ;)
Title: Re:Sprite Jam 5 - 15 may
Post by: remixor on Wed 07/05/2003 23:39:47
Ben: yeah, I agree with your points in general.  However, I didn't resample or retouch anything in my candyman or blue cup pictures.  Every pixel was mine ;)
Title: Re:Sprite Jam 5 - 15 may
Post by: scotch on Wed 07/05/2003 23:51:03
It's antialiased though.. around the edges.. so it wouldn't work as a sprite.
Title: Re:Sprite Jam 5 - 15 may
Post by: remixor on Thu 08/05/2003 00:25:50
I know, that's why I said I agreed with the rest of his points.  I was just making it clear I actually made those as opposed to simply fixing up somebody else's work.  But yea, they wouldn't work as sprites unless I made them transparent and got rid of the outside AA.

I took a look at the rules again:

Imagine you are working in a team on a game. You get to draw characters of your choice.


I think ben's and melia's would apply for a game as a npc.

Yours would be interesting for a close up though!

But I'll keep my state and ben wins :)
