Sprite Jam October 31st - November 7th

[Pesty]

Well now, hello sprite jam contestants! Welcome to this week's sprite jam. I do hope you enjoy it.

Now, as a pirate, I'm a big fan of swords. I mean, who isn't? I mean, I bet secretly Charleton Heston loves him some swords, but he's all "Dude, I love guns!" to hide it. But he doesn't need to hide it. We'll still love him.

So this week's topic is, of course, Charleton Heston. ...Wait, I mean swords. The topic is swords.

The specs must be thus! 23 colors enter, 100 x 30 sized pictures leave! The dimensions can be either 100 x 30 or 30 x 100, doesn't matter which direction, and 23 colors is just the maximum, it can be less. Sure it seems simple, but you can totally get inventive with it.

The more inventive, the better. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

[Inkoddi]

Mwahahahaaa!!! Inkoddi is first again!!!

[Minimi]

Behold! The Sword of the Golden Snake.





This sword is made of the purest gold on earth, and according to legends, will the owner of the sword, be have power over all elements on earth. The Golden Snake is guarding the sword day and night, and any try to get the sword, let to death.

here we have our singing sword

[Anym]

Heh! I tried to make a singing sword, but it sucked, so I made this non-singing one, which sucks less:

Lol sylpher, it reminds of a stick violin players use

[DoorKnobHandle]

nice work!

I think until now, inkoddis one (or  the first one) is the best one!!!

[Inkoddi]

Hey thanks mamarulez!

[PureGhostGR]

Carnival Sword - comes with mask and red scarf (fake blood).

[Rincewind]

Definately not the best sword I've ever drawn... Especially among all these kickass entries! One of the best sprite jams ever!

[TheYak]

Well.. here's mine.



I guess it's used for...   dis-arming people.  

Bwa ha ha ha...

[remixor]

   

Tada... I was going for some sort of runic type of deal, hence the etchings on the blade, if you can see them.  Due to me not planning out the size correctly, I wasn't able to do exactly what I wanted with the blue lightning stuff, but it turned out ok I guess.  If anyone wants, I have a version without the lightning (it might be less distracting).

[AGA]

I thought it was tendrils of smoke, not lightning...

[remixor]

Well, my original intention was to have the sword giving off forks of lightning, but it didn't execute how I planned it to, so it may as well be tendrils of smoke.  Works just as well.

[n3tgraph]

Well.. here's mine.

Bwa ha ha ha...

Hahaha LOL

I vote for you

[Mr_Frisby]

A dual use sword/spatula - good for killing enemies and them fliping them over when you have made them into burgers.

[TheYak]

It's a good concept.. but isn't the handle rather... phallic?  

[Darth Mandarb]

Maybe it's for circumcisions?

[Gilbert]

3x:


I'm too lazy tired to write any description for it now, just imagine for yourselves how it should be used.

If you think I should be disqualified as I drew swordS not sword, go ahead! I don't mind.

[remixor]

It's a good concept.. but isn't the handle rather... phallic?  

Perhaps it has one more use in addition to the two already documented...

[MrColossal]

Perhaps it has one more use in addition to the two already documented...

i can think of at least two undocumented things to do with that...

[SSH]

Yes, but with Vaseline all over your hands, how would you keep a firm grip on the sheep?

Perhaps Yak's sword could...ah...lend a hand?

[Mr_Frisby]

It's a good concept.. but isn't the handle rather... phallic?  ;)

Only if your used to turning your burgers over with your penis.

[Unilin]

Here's my entery.  Be awed.

even if that worked,
you'd cut open your hands gripping the sword  :

Just wanted to add my bit to the neverending layers of quotes.

OMG... ...OMG... ...OMG...  ...so... ...many... ...qoutes...                hahaha

[n3tgraph]

Repeating the joke isn't fun Inkoddi

Anyways who's the winner?

::EDIT::

Damn, stupid windows clock
I didn't say anything  

[TheYak]

'tis not the 7th of November yet....   :

[WanderLady]

The whole lot is is incredible, but Boyd's is the best.







EDIT: I don't know about mine, but it looks like it hurts. ALSO, it was my first time doing AA. Could someone give me a critique??

[TheYak]

It looks like it got anti-aliased on a white background and then the BG was filled with brown (or it was pasted over a brown BG).  That's the only time I've seen outlines like that.

[remixor]

How's that?

[Ali]

I thought I'd have a go for fun:

[Isegrim]

Harhar!

Here's mine!


original size and thrice enlarged

And the best about it is, that in times of peace you can use it to saw firewood!

[Ghormak]

Behold the Swiss Army sword that looks more like a bread knife because I suck at pixel art!

[Privateer Puddin']

gotta love jpgs

[WanderLady]

That's the only time I've seen outlines like that.

Ha . Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It looks like it got anti-aliased on a white background and then the BG was filled with brown (or it was pasted over a brown BG).

The background was brown and I gave the whole sword a white outline. I think it's a piece that calls for AA, so I thought I'd try it. The white spaces seemed to give it shine.

How's that?

I see where that is going. That's how it should have been done. With a little more work(stray pixels here and there) that would probably be right.

[Inkoddi]

So... who is the winner?

[n3tgraph]

yesh damnit!

who's the winner??

[BOYD1981]

me!

[Pesty]

Sorry, you impatient ninnys! I've been sick and I almost forgot that it was the 7th.

It was a very hard decision because there were some totally awesome entries this week, but I think that the one I liked the best and made best use of colors was PureghostGR's Carnival Sword. This has to be one of the best sprite jams I've seen, and that's not just because I hosted it.

[PureGhostGR]

Great! I get to host a sprite jam.. Thank you.
I better start thinking of a theme then..

Btw, great,great,great entries.. (not just well drawn but funny too)

thanks again
