Sprite Jam: 20th - 27th June

The heroes of the future wear sunglasses and trenchcoats a lot and also appear not to like the effects of sun rays on their skin, being generally 'bad-ass' in a very pasty white manner.

And now, I asketh thee: Where art thou, heroes of the old?

Okay, so that's the new topic - let's pixel some good, old-fashioned heores! Knights, Warriors, Barbarians, and barely dressed Amazon women - whatever you like! Hooray!

Restrictions:

Colors: 32
Size: 128x128

The style and presentation is totally up to you. Close-ups, Posing, Battle - anything goes.

I've made a little pic to get this thing going:

So, let's rock, or something!

Not very good at drawing.. people..

Darth Mandarb · Mon 21/06/2004 02:22:47

Is this old enough.

Bernie · Mon 21/06/2004 13:01:58

Yep, I think he definately falls into the old-fashioned hero category!

JudgeDeadd · Mon 21/06/2004 13:32:02

Enjoy my 15 colors Smiling Guy...

I tried more for a fantasy look. But it didn't come out as I wanted it.

Bernie · Mon 21/06/2004 15:54:43

Cool, more entries!

I just wanted to say that you shouldn't feel restricted to only 128x128 or a square ratio - smaller is okay too. 128x128 is pretty big for a sprite, anyway.

Also, if you're feeling like doing a close-up pic or a funky perspective, by all means, do so.

For example, this magically inclined hoody wizard guy would also be a valid entry:

There's so many kinds of old-fashioned heroes... can't wait to see more!

Went with the barely dressed Amazon woman for a change...

Haddas · Mon 21/06/2004 17:33:52

move that hair slightly to the left and you'll be a sure winner

You took the words out of my mouth, haddasÃ,Â

Training in the dojo:

I'm fairly sure that this will be disqualified, simply because Ninjas didn't lift weights. Ah..oh well. I still like it. The idea of weights just...jumped at me, and I thought it'd be more interesting than just some ninja posing.

PS. Note to self, fix shadows

Ben · Mon 21/06/2004 23:27:50

He doesn't have a spotter. That's not safe..

Oh, and I almost forgot: OMG 80085!!!!111

MoodyBlues · Tue 22/06/2004 06:14:56

Hey, these all look good!

Here's mine: St. Joan of Arc

BerserkerTails · Tue 22/06/2004 07:32:45

My favorite hero of old, the Samurai!

Modeled after ToshirÃ´ Mifune, the legendary Japanese actor. It's 29 colours, and it took me six hours!

Opo Terser · Wed 23/06/2004 01:55:17

Nosferatu!

not really a "sprite" but whatever.

MoodyBlues · Wed 23/06/2004 04:09:27

That is seriously creepy; he looks just like the real thing *shudder*

Uh... what real thing? Vampires (thats what nosferatu means, right?) don't exist .... do they?

Ozwalled · Wed 23/06/2004 06:30:37

I think he means the old movie...

big brother · Wed 23/06/2004 07:00:40

Here's my entry. A little gory, but I figure that it's justified.

128x128, 21 colors, 200% zoom

Cheers.
