Seleceus · Fri 08/04/2005 02:41:34

Basic Rules:

A sprite is supplied, with a theme.
Participants must use the given sprite for their animation.
Each competition will last 11 days.
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.

This Competition's Specifics:

A Tree:

...really!

...that's it!

...I'm not kidding.

This tree can do, become, have done to it, anything you want, as long as it's still 'mostly' tree-like (or at the very least, wood). Be imaginative, I'll be expecting it. Don't let physics, covention, or reality slow you down.

I've taken the liberty of doing the obvious (boring) one just as an example:

just a bit of fun.

FrogMarch · Fri 08/04/2005 16:11:07

It gets sliced down, but just keeps on going.

Babar · Sat 09/04/2005 13:48:04

One of my first thoughts when I saw the sprite, the other being the (much harder to animate) weeping willow woman from KQ5

Edit: baahh! Blewdy unfreeze! I wish I had a better program to have made that.

I think It's pretty good.

If using ninjas to make tree animating cooler isn't cheating...
If you act "mature" and "16-years old" and won't call me psycho behind my back...
If you DO have something better than 56K modem...
If 2 hours per animation wasn't against the rules...
If my anim fits in the rules at all...

...let me present...

Heres mine,
I don't think it's okay with the rules but here it is anyways.

Do I recognize this comedian from some LSL game?
And if so, where can I apply for my cookie?

No you do not, no cookie for you.

It's not hard to guess when Pudding makes a Family Guy reference....

But... but--!

Aw, shucks

Sam. · Sat 09/04/2005 20:03:45

oh good god inc! where are you hosting this image? its only 73kb and its taking hours!

InCreator · Sat 09/04/2005 21:21:39

ouch.
Well, the server is actually superfast, it's weird, but not the first time i hear that some people won't get any speed there.

Depends on location and/or ISP, I guess. I edited my competitive post and added a mirror (at 2dadventure.com) for those who can't see the pic.

Stefano · Sat 09/04/2005 21:28:45

Ok, here's my idea:
What trees do when we're not looking?

Hehehe.
Cheers,

:o

What did you mean by that?

Seleceus · Sun 10/04/2005 02:15:28

Ok, folks.

I guess I'm confused. I wrote the rules (basically copped out) and left it W--I--D--E open, to let the imagination run free. As long as the tree has the starring role, it fits the rules. Haven't seen one, yet, that I'd disqualify. Call me liberal, call me crazy, but the whole idea is to practice our art (or lack thereof) and be creative. So, okay, we're there! I'm liking it anyway.

I think you've done an admirable job, for a first shot. Only crit I could think of, for this particular anim: Put the flying objects closer together, timewise. In other words, don't wait for one piece to leave the frame before moving the next. It would have better flow. But still, a great job!

By the way, everyone, this is becoming rather difficult to choose a favorite. Keep it up.

Righty-oh, here's mine.

Honestly, I don't know what the hell's going on here either. Ho-hum.
