>> SPRITE CONTEST!! <<



Hi! I've never sponsered a contest before, so be gental with me! Here's the contest. Create a few 32x32 pixel sprites for use in a retro-style adventure game. I am not restricting the color pallet. I'd like the sprites to be similar to Legend of Zelda OR Final Fantasy Tactics sprites. However, the sprites must be 100% original. I'll judge the entries based on the following:

#1. Quality. That's most important.
#2. Quantity. You get extra points for quantity... however one great sprite is better than 10 lame ones.

(I would suggest 3 sprites to be sufficient to win!)

The sprites can include terrain sprites as well as character or monster sprites. I'll reiterate: They must be original. The artist will retain all ownership of the sprites. I get nothing out of this contest at all. However, I will be trying to convince the top artists to consider selling sprites off my game resource website (ahh... the shameless plug!).

Participants must be willing to receive their reward via paypal. The first prize winner will get $20.00 (U.S. Dollars). There will be no prizes for second or third place. I suppose that you'll have to trust that I'll deliver the money. Search on my username for the past 2 years. Hopefully my previous endeavors will convince you!

Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:





Good luck, and have fun! All entries are due January 1st, 2005.

lol, i made a "hitler + nazi generals" sprite for rpgmaker 200 once, dunno if it's 32 x 32, but i'll see if i can find a download link somewhere.
it has movement on it too, so if anyone wants, it can be use in rpgmaker, or 3dgs if you make it in sprite style.

i'll post later, gotta get to work now

It's a start, and quite possibly the winner, depending on other entries!

If you take a peek at the examples above, most of the sprites are surrounded by a black line to make them stand out more. Maybe try adding that to your turtle?

Here's another example:

HAHA....Ok I couldn't pass this one up! I did take a little bit out of my work time to give this thing a try. I know I can't make anything quite as good as Zelda, as you will soon be able to tell, but it never hurts giving something a try. I am not in this for the money, and I don't have Paypal, so if I 'DO' win lol....keep the money

Second Attempt

Hope you find these to fit into the Contest well. Who knows how they will rank against other entries, but this was just something for fun!

Ha ha ha. I often see such posts uniquely difficult to describe. Today I shall respond by calling your submission "epigrammatic"! *grin*

Rock on,
