Mid Year's Spriting CompetitionSO, it's mid year, no contest or Community thing has been done succesfully, so I was thinking of a very simple spriting competition... Here's the deal, I love seeing new things, ideas that just come out of people's minds.... So, that's the purpose of the contest
There's still not a prize, and probably it won't be, since it's just ONE frame you have to do...
So, that's the deal
Rules:
Must be made by you (obviously)
If frankened or recolored, originality must overcome and be very visbible
You must make ONE frame (the facing down one)
Can't be from a charset already seen posted in the forums
Sign Up:PinedaVX
Whoever wants to sign, post here. And if you have a theme idea, let me know, as well as concerns and etc...

This topic is almost a month old... But I didn't see anyone signing up and I don't want this idea to fade away, so sign me up, I'll compete against the fresh spriting talent... [cracks knuckles]

I'll try.
Any special restrictions like RTP, or actual sprite to be used (Technically, side view chars for games like Megaman are also sprites)?

ONE frame (the front view)I'm glad this is alive

Umm, wait. Is that saying that everyone's able to make whatever they want, or a theme for the contest will be decided once there are people signing up? Because I don't want to sign up for something without knowing what a theme is first.

I'm asking you all, what would you prefer? Themed or free? You tell me

I say we need a theme, but I have no clue what It would be.
Antares
Jun 30 2008, 04:54 AM
I'm against a theme... At least for a 'first contest'. It would at least give us more freedom to start out with.

Exactly what Antares said. No theme for a first contest will be better. Setting a restriction such as size limit and chibi style (RTP style) should be enough

Sadly, am bad at spriting... i don't think that i'll sign up

Good luck to all of you guys!

I'll sign up too.
Can I assume there is no theme yet?
Blank
Jun 30 2008, 06:51 PM
Yes, I dont think there will be a theme for this contest at least. Id say its safe to assume that. Otherwise Ill have to redo mine.

Okay, we will not have theme, it's free to go!
JUst note that submissions must be PMed to me, since the voting will be without telling the author's name
