Penis_Captivus · 09-05-2007, 11:28 AM

I'm in.

Zebbs · 09-05-2007, 11:30 AM

I might be in depending on what the first task will be.
I didnt like the first one, but i wouldve wanted to do the second.

PyroOwned · 09-05-2007, 11:32 AM

Ok, I'm thinking of the first task at the moment.

Zebbs · 09-05-2007, 11:32 AM

PM it to me, so not to spoil it

Vortex · 09-05-2007, 11:33 AM

Same as Zebbs. I'm in, I just hope we don't have to do a whole scene from something again.

Count me in! I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

PyroOwned · 09-05-2007, 11:38 AM

I'm not gonna make you do a whole scene from a video game. Just a simple object with a certain colour in it somewhere.

Zebbs · 09-05-2007, 11:39 AM

Oh cool, I'm in.

SODA · 09-05-2007, 11:45 AM

Uh, pyroowen you can't tell them what it is before you start the competition. That gives them like a 2 day head start.

P0K3M0N_MA5T3R · 09-05-2007, 11:46 AM

I'm in but for crying out loud try and make the deadlines less stupid, 24 hours is seriously pushing it especially since almost every is back at school now. Try 2 days, maybe even 3 some times.

Vortex · 09-05-2007, 11:50 AM

It just depends on the objective, IAYP.

Cool, PyroOwen. I think a whole scene in just 1 day was too much for some people

I'm not stupid. I'm not revealing it until I get enough people. I'm starting the competition in 2 days time from 5pm English time.

Lynley · 09-05-2007, 5:05 PM

As long as the deadline is longer, and there aren't any scenes involved, I would be willing to join. There's no way I would be able to keep up with a 24 hour deadline with all the classes I'm taking. Forty-eight hours sounds more reasonable.

EDIT: As an added note of my skill (or lack thereof, depending on how critical you are), see my avatar. Done at 80x80 size, took me probably a grand total of 2 or 3 hours done over two days.

I'm out.

PyroOwned · 09-07-2007, 10:50 AM

Zebbs, don't pussy out because you've seen one person's Sprite. I'm keeping you in. :P

We need at least 3 more people to start.

Veeduck · 09-07-2007, 11:41 AM

I'll give it a shot. I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

PyroOwned · 09-07-2007, 1:32 PM

Nice to have you on board Veeduck.

Two more and we can begin. I'm going now, I'll start it in a few hours.

Zebbs · 09-07-2007, 1:35 PM

Ok then, I'll give it a go. Don't expect anything special.

PyroOwned · 09-07-2007, 5:50 PM

Ok, the first challenge is up. These challenges are gonna be longer seeing as we all have school now and shit.

So, here we go:

I want you six to create a video-game character. Be creative, but don't go too far.
Then, make a basic enemy, like Mario vs Goombas, but not that easy. I want the colour yellow in it, I don't care what tone.

If anyone wants to suddenly join, feel free, but take the chance while you can.

You have 48 hours, go!

Mr. Crow · 09-07-2007, 9:02 PM

Meh, just for fun (I know I'm going to hell for this):

It's Juan the Mexican plumber, and the Koopa border patrol! Run Juan, run!

Lynley · 09-07-2007, 9:08 PM

Gah, damn you. Drunk and full of delicious Thai food and late at night, and then I find out you post the contest... Size limits, please?

This Juan looks familiar and his mustache seems awfully Italian.

Lynley · 09-08-2007, 1:06 AM

Also, totally lame of you to start the contest on a Friday night and then ditch us. I was planning to do this tonight if you replied with the size limits, but if I don't have any size limits, I can't start cause then I might draw something too big. *shakes her fist*

Kry0gen · 09-08-2007, 4:14 AM

I'm in.

P0K3M0N_MA5T3R · 09-08-2007, 5:59 AM

Well Lynley i'd guess a size of about 100 x 100 would be a good size to have as the maxiumum, seen as most game sprites are small.

PyroOwned · 09-08-2007, 7:53 AM

I don't care about size limits. MK, that was good, and sure you can join in Kry0gen.

MK, are you joining or just posting that? I would be good seeing as then we'd have eight.

Mr. Crow · 09-08-2007, 8:45 AM

Sure, why not.

Lynley · 09-08-2007, 1:40 PM

Meh. Flamebuddy and Waterbuddy. Flamebuddy is the hero, who has the ability to become a larger flame to evaporate Waterbuddy.

...That shading took forever, by the way. It's all smooth and stuff, and that takes a while to do in Paint. I also had a hard time thinking of an idea for this that wasn't already used a bunch.

Veeduck · 09-08-2007, 2:26 PM

Mine is taking forever. I didn't expect the design to be as complicated to shade as it turned out to be. :/

ganondorf · 09-08-2007, 4:04 PM

can i still join???

PyroOwned · 09-08-2007, 4:15 PM

Yep, deadline's until tomorrow late afternoon.

Veeduck · 09-08-2007, 5:43 PM

Okay, done finally. I've found that working on a smaller scale is easier than a larger. I used a photo reference for the character's shading, to make sure it didn't turn out totally wonky. And I'm pretty happy with the results.

Character: Lookout at Fortress Greenvyle.

Enemy: (From a different game) Moth Tyson.

I hope they didn't have to be from the same game.

Vortex · 09-09-2007, 12:33 AM

Good (Guy in armour plating) - Bad (EVIL MUSHROOM-THING!)

I put them against those colours so they stood out abit better. Both turned out pretty bad, but took far too long so I gave up on them. Might touch-up abit before the deadline.

PyroOwned · 09-09-2007, 4:23 AM

7 hours left people, the ones I've seen so far are really good.

ganondorf · 09-09-2007, 5:13 AM

i just started mine

EDIT
and done

I rushed them a bit becouse of the time limit
but i think they look decent enough.

P0K3M0N_MA5T3R · 09-09-2007, 10:23 AM

Good Character-

Sort of a mix of Mega Man and Metroid Prime.

Bad Guy-

Little flaming eyeballs, these are just meant to be basic enemies that float around everywhere.

Lynley · 09-09-2007, 10:26 AM

I clearly did not put as much effort into mine as everyone else. You all did very well.

PyroOwned · 09-09-2007, 1:17 PM

Ok, winners of round one are: Veeduck, IAYP, ganondorf and Vortex. Sorry MK and Lynley, they were still really good.

Round 2:
Draw a sprite!
Yes, I mean literally, the fairy kind:

Max area of 200x200px.
Here's the twist: it's got to have a background. Like a swamp or something. So don't make it too big. :P

Vortex · 09-09-2007, 1:26 PM

Good pick. Looking forward to this one. Time limit is 48 hours again? Or less this time?
