*ahem* Grindcore is what i meant ofcourse. 

Oh yea, I like metal. Most of it anyway 

For those who are dutch, and have cable or adsl you should try this. http://www.kinkaardschok.nl/ It's an dutch metal internet radio.
Altho they dont really play the "harder" stuff like grindkorn or viking metal. (wich I dont really mind anyway)

When browsing a bit on flash movies I came across this guy. Even tho most of his work looks rather simple, the animations itself are rather good.

I didn't do too much to it, just cleaned it up a bit. Made his belly a bit rounder tho, it looked real choppy.

[Pesty's]

First of all, thanks to those that entered! They're all great sprites.

But ofcourse there can only be one winner in these type of contests.
Now after looking at the sprites carefully I have come to the conclusion that I like Pesty's sprite the most.

So Pesty, it's up to you to you to create the next Sprite Jam, congratulations!

Cats (I think that was the game's name, in which you played a cat and had to jump through open windows to do some levels)

thats "Alley cat" to be presise

Yea, I remember that one.

Not that im trying to defend WoW here, but your 3 flaws are kinda flawed as well

1. You definatly CAN trade items, and there is even a public auction house to sell them. As long as you didnt equip it (unless its a white item, but then nobody would buy it) Dispite of what you claim, economy in the realms are good. Only items you gain from quests and the items wich are labeled "bind on pickup" are not sellable. Also items wich you use to create other items are "hot" and sell for lots on the Auction house.

2. There Are ALOT of different effects. There are <insert element here> bolts on strike, whirlwind attack on strike, and lots more. Cool glows are an item as well, but those are pretty expensive to buy since players themselfs need to enchant the glows (actually the glows do have stats, but everyone just buys it because it'll glow like friggin lightsaber).
Also set items are present in the game. You got the devias set, the lightforge set etc. etc. I particulary like the one of the warlock sets, it gives you a hood wich darkens your face and gives you red glowing eyes .

3. you get skillpoints AFTER level 10, then you'll get 1 point to invest in 3 different skill trees, like in diablo 2. And there is no "1 playing style" It's just a matter of what you find to work the best. for example, on a mage i like to use arcane type spells with frost type bolts to slow the enemy, but my friend is fire all the way since it does huge amount of damage.
It is true however, that all skills are buyable, except for a few wich are located in the skill trees. But the skill trees do make a huge impact on the effect of these skills.

Yup, been playing it since it came out, including playing the american, korean and europe beta.

Yea, it kinda grows on ya before you even notice.

But it still looks pretty damn amazing scummbuddy 

[THEME:]

So, now it's up to me to think up a new contest.
Well then, how about this?

THEME:
*Character must be medevil. Something like a robin hood wannabee, or a knight in shiny armor.

SIZE
*max dimensions 300x300

COLORS
*No limit

EXTRA
*As an extra the character HAS TO BE roughly in 3/4 frontal view, No side or front views are allowed. Something like this:
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, 
                                            Ã, 

Hope this is clear enough. Have fun !

Great, the first time I won the sprite contest , Thanks Mandarb.

...Now to come up with a good theme for the next one.. hmm..

the phrase "ken sent me"

[snexpv01[1].flv]

Damn that took a while to download.

Now, the file youre looking for is the .flv file. It was stored in my temp dir as snexpv01[1].flv. But i don't know how firefox will call it. It's about 15 mb's in size tho.

Now, a FLV is a compressed version of SWF as for as i know, but you cant open it in a normal browser. To open it localy you'll need a nifty little program to do so.
You can download one for free here:

Don't worry, its not even a half mb in size and it's not trial ware, so you dont have to buy it after X amount of time.

(looks like a real fun game btw)

[*EDIT*]

Again, its perspective. Altho you dont use a fixed point of perspective in this background, the angle of your platform is too high. It's got even a bigger angle then the lowest line of the wall. And that one should have the biggest. Thats why it looks odd.

It should be something more like this:


*EDIT*

reading it back, it sounds a bit confusing. But i hope the picture makes it a bit clearer 

A very nice piece of scripting in AGS. Good job !

The walls of the building are kind of.. empty. No windows, no graffity etc. They look like big blue boxes with an entrance at the moment. Also streetlights would be a nice idea. Fill it up a bit, It really looks empty as it is now.

...like it was made in MS paint. If so you should really try some other paint programs...

I do all my pixeling in Paint, nothing wrong with that program Ã, 

It's Rode Kill!

All my own work...

Now that made the pic way too scaryÃ,

Now I don't know if you guys are familiar with this game but for those who aren't:
I came acros this funny flashgame called artpad. It lets you draw an painting and afterwards you can replay it to see (for yourself or others) on how you actually drawed it.
It's great fun, or atleast I thought it was

The Art-pad main page

My feeble attempt

Well, thought I'de enter this one. Been awhile since I've competed.

Hm, maybe it wont be accepted since the general sketch of this ship already existed for a game I'm working on. I only had to shade it, and add a few details here and there. But since noone has entered sofar I'll just throw it in anyway.
