Official Sprite Contest: Heroes From Other Worlds

[jimmyjw88]

Yes, there is. Need to search for the thread though. As for portrait, there's a better one (hope we are on the same page, Cheetah, haha) made by the japanese but in 64 x 96 JPEG file. I've got it scale down and redrew back the basic shapes and shading, but it is still work in progress.

As for the Goku, looking great!!

[Cheetah]

As for Squall that all sounds correct to me Jimmy, the Japanese portrait was the one I was thinking of.

As for Goku, thanks! Now that I have the base I'm considering doing a series of entries or maybe even some kind of animation. Is the hair looking okay, that alone took more time the entire rest of the sprite?

[Choto]

Might as well throw this into the cauldron of random hero soup we got goin here.. Everybody's got some really cool submissions

[Cheetah]

Looking good Choto, I'm a huge X-Men fan! Your color ramps could look a bit better, steal from existing sprites. Also, your zoomed version is wonky it isn't exactly x2 and is stretched wide and doesn't do the actual sprite justice.

[jimmyjw88]

The hair is definitely on the right track, Cheetah. And a series for some animation sounds interesting.

[Jon]

Wow Cheetah, that is an impressive Goku! Just one thing, could you make the spike below the biggest one a bit larger? It looks like diagonally left above his right eye the hair kinda just stops, right where the first bang starts. Really awesome, I like DB, make a whole sheet lol!

[Jon]

If you can only choose one of your entries, I'd like to choose this one then. Its Bartz from FF V, made from Mime for clothes, Olan's boots, Agrias arms (totally reworked) and custom hair:

I'm new to this, so coming into this thread I thought I'd be seeing a whole lot of orange/black palettes.  Something along the lines of:



That's Hal (short for "Halloween") from the Idlewild series of books by Nick Sagan (son of Carl Sagan).

As far as color, I was imagining something like a cross between Palette#3 and Palette#1 of the Male Mime:

Or basically something like Palette #3, but with the red replaced by orange.

Anyway, I have yet to do any spriting at all, so I don't think I'll be able to have an entry submitted by the deadline.  But I really think the FFT world could use a black/orange palette character, so I'll post it when I finish it.

[jimmyjw88]

Interesting concept. Hair could use a little more work. Is his skin tone yellowish?

[Jon]

Well Robrain, the colors of course are important, but more so is the base. If you're new to spriting, you should base your sprite off of an existing one, so for this character you will need something with coat, shirt and pants. Looks to me like he's wearing shoes. Try possibly Elmdor for his legs and shoes and maybe the male Mediator for the coat. Then change all the colors, and give him a head swap to something more befitting, like something from a Shrine Knight...good luck! Its probably better to try and make weird looking sprites and post them here, then people will give crits on how to improve it! Don't be embarrassed if it looks ridiculous, just post it!

This really isn't a critiquing thread, for the fifth time. It's a contest thread. If you're looking for critiques, post them elsewhere. If you're itching to offer a critique on something, send a private message or use IRC.

[Celdia]

Only one more week to go! Make sure your submissions fit the guidelines and look how you want them to. Remember, you can update things to the very last minute if need be. Just because time is running out doesn't mean you can't still post entries! Looking forward to seeing what else people have in the works!

[Reks]

... Gack.... Forgot to make my own. Oh well, too lazy and busy now.

[Jon]

... Gack.... Forgot to make my own. Oh well, too lazy and busy now.

Its not too late, you still have 2 days to make just one forward diagonal facing frame! C'mon guys! Don't give up!

Also a quick question, I entered quite a few sprites, will all of them be counted? They are all separate from each other so I assume the answer is yes, just checking though...

[Twinees]

Jon, read the rules list
This one in particular answers your question

10) There is NO limit on the number of entries per member as long as they are significantly distinct.

[Celdia]

So long as they meet all the submission guidelines, Jon.

[Jumza]

2 days before the contest ends! all these sprites are great, and that means I might not win.
So to either double my chances or split the vote between my 2 entries (it's a risk i'm willing to take)

I promised Celdie I'd do an entry before she'd even put the contest together so here is Mario riding Yoshi.

[GeneralStrife]

I'm back baby. Kinda impressed. First time spriting in a year and I throw this together. At least, I'm impressed with myself. No need for anyone else to be, its major franken.

Enough of this. I'm removing any and all posts related to this argument. If you want to keep arguing, do so via PM.
