Posted by: seldeslim Jan 23 2009, 09:51 PM
Congrats to Fuzzy who came in second, and the other participants. Now, shall we move on to the next challange? This time, it will be a competition on the basis of quality over quantity!

Confused? I'll explain.

This is going to be a competition of making pixel art, and that means pixel art only. No animations. Just make sure to make it with your best effort!

Restrictions/Requirements
- Must be only mario related
- 200 x 200 is the minimal size requirement. No exceptions.
- Your work must have a setting and a background and whatnot. Don't just make a big sprite of a mario character. That means transparency is not allowed. :Y
- There's no color restriction, but please be reasonable with the number of shades/colors you use.

Entries are due on January 30th.

That's all I got for you guys. Good Luck.

Sprites are pixel art anyways.

Posted by: Black Boo Jan 23 2009, 10:47 PM
This shall prove most difficult...

yet interesting...

Though 100x100 minimal size sounds more reasonable.

200x200 is the max avatar size

This sounds badass. I'll try to get graphicsgale working good so I can do this.

Posted by: Glukom Jan 24 2009, 12:06 AM
crap now i have an excuse to sprite something big

I don't know I might enter this
I'm not really good at shading big stuff though, and I can't make tiles if I decided to try a mockup

Posted by: Mechant Jan 24 2009, 12:11 AM
I'll try

Posted by: Wolfgator Jan 24 2009, 12:24 AM
Might enter.

Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jan 24 2009, 12:27 AM
Also the point of these were to get more material done for the site really, so people could have more access to material to use for games, so this seems kinda awkward.

Posted by: Razz Jan 24 2009, 12:29 AM
I'll try. god knows if I'll finish or not, but I'll try.

also, really dig the theme for this comp. PA's are fun.

Posted by: Fuzzy Jan 24 2009, 12:30 AM
Hmm. To some extent these could end up being used in games if relevant to their game.
I will most likely be entering, im not much for making sprites but large pixel art is fun.

Well there's no specific theme, so these may vary so much that there's a very slim chance. Interesting that this is being done I suppose though.

Posted by: Fuzzy Jan 24 2009, 12:34 AM
Most compos though didn't help the site in any way so don't fret.

Because people are totally more likely to use Flagpole Luigi that doesn't match any other style.

Large pixel art has its uses in fangames.

There isn't a specific theme here, so it could technically be more flagpole Luigi's. I forgot how bizarre the last one was, haha.

Posted by: Wolfgator Jan 24 2009, 12:53 AM
Actually, i won't enter. I attempted and got what was the most horryfing pixelart i've done.

uh... not entering this one.

Never tried pixel art before and I suck at shading large objects.
Good luck to everyone else though...

Posted by: Flamedragon Jan 24 2009, 03:09 PM
Why can't you just make a lot of small stuff like a little level with the character in it?

Your not really shading big stuff but your doing more work.

To be honest though, I'm not expecting a lot of entries from this.

Posted by: Mr.Marth Jan 24 2009, 05:37 PM

I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous IMO.

These are Sprite Competitions, and conceptually "sprites" and "animation" are extremely interrelated. Not all sprites animate, but a lot of them do, and aside from size it's this that is one of the most obvious things that distinguishes sprites as a class from other kinds of digital drawings.

Without animation and with a "pixel art only" limitation, there are only a few general kinds of things left that could be used in a game (e.g., title screens and maybe backdrops), and I doubt either of those were intended for this comp.

Plus, I thought there was a rule that Sprite Comps were not supposed to be for the kinds of pixel art that didn't fall into the category of sprites - and possibly a rule that animations were supposed to exist in all comps? (To be fair, there's also a rule, as I recall, that the comp creator has the primary say about themes as opposed to the strictly-defined rules, but to make a theme that completely contradicts one or more of the rules is kind of a different matter.)

It's clearly too late to change this competition now, but still... seriously. I do not think the competition should have been made this way to begin with.

Nice entries so far, I just hope that there are more to choose from at voting time, though it is a bit much to ask these requirements of everyone.

And honestly, I'm surprised this didn't start a pixel art vs. sprite argument, but I hope you don't make the mistake of making pixel art compos common. Still pixel art was banned in the first place because the 200 x 200 (or even larger) still pixel art entries (that would not be used in a game for anything other than perhaps a title screen) stole wins away from others who followed the competition's goals: to create sprites.

Entering cause theres not enough participation and PA's are cooler then sprites. Now to answer some questions; No I most likely won't finish this in time, yes I'm using fuzzy/swany's colors and he's ok with it, and yes that is a default circle in mspaint and I'm keeping it because I'm a lazy ****.EDIT: also white space is cool.

What kind of reply is that?

So we should just let go of the essential concepts in Sprite Competitions, just because some members find it "fun" to trample on competition custom?


Spin it how you want, this competition theme is a disgrace, and I might even refrain from participating in any voting in it, just because I find it so irritating how things are becoming with these comps. It was bad enough when people used to whine about the "sprite-only" rules, but this actual change is even dumber.

Honestly, I agree with many of the people here in that PA competitions should not be common, but I would not go so far as to say they should be completely eliminated. I enjoyed making my entry here more than every other competition I tried to enter (Other than #245 - Buzzy Beetles, perhaps). So I have no problem with a PA compo once in a blue moon...

Well the problem isn't with the pixel art itself, but this is a sprite competition. Other communities always have pixel art and sprite competitions separate from each other. Honestly it'd be like allowing animations in a drawing competition. Sure, drawing could eventually lead some people down the path to animation, but it's not for everyone. And if you were to vote in such a competition would you vote for a high quality drawing or a lengthy, high quality animation? This obviously won't be a problem with this competition since all entries will be pixel art. However, this competition is mislabeled.

I just think it would be a mistake to make this a common occurence, and I am sorry to interrupt the topic further.

By the way, ndsfreak, can't wait to see how that translates to full size.

Posted by: sitanel Jan 28 2009, 07:43 PM
There's not really a fine enough distinction between sprite and pixelart, they're both made in the same format and with the same methods, for example, would you claim this to be a piece of pixelart or a sprite?

user posted image

The difference between sprite and pixelart is not the same as the difference between drawings and animations, if it was then sprite competitions shouldnt allow animations as sprites are, essentially, drawings, no matter what size they are.

Posted by: SonicProject Jan 28 2009, 07:47 PM
Pixel art generally is described to be larger in size and greater in detail and is not usually used for gaming purposes nor is it usually animated. That is the difference between a sprite and a work of pixel art. If you had your mind set, sure you could animate a huge 200 x 200 sprite for a game, but that would take an impractical amount of time and effort.

This is really lazy, man

It looks like you just drew really sloppily and colored it in with a few shades, not even caring what kind of look you gave it; things are out of proportion and nothing stands out in the piece

I can't tell what's even going on in the scene; everything's flat and shaded so sloppily D:

Things are drawn in a really odd perspective and you didn't take the time to clean ANY of the lines up that you messily drew

I dunno, I wouldn't submit a quarter-done entry, but whatever. What's actually refined is okay, but I think you could have worked a lot harder on it.

It's rude because I told you it needed work? I didn't see you say "DONT CRIT ME!" either, but I really don't care. MFGG's comps aren't much to me, anyway.

half of your work doesn't even look finished. you put detail into like one spot and then half ass every other area. if you put as much effort everywhere as you did in the original area it wouldn't need as much criticism

First of all Shawn did not have a serious entry it was a joke, he was going to do a serious entry with that same concept at one point I think. But honestly EVERYTHING IN THIS IS **** PRACTICALLY! Shymouse's isn't bad, the line art is nice it could have been shaded much better though, Fuzzy's entry also. Mine was a piece of **** and was only entered because I was *****ed at until I did, really I should've been banned for posting such a piece of ****.

END OF ****ING DISCUSSION! STOP *****ING AT SHAWN.

EDIT: Shawn beat me to it but what ever, I'm leaving this, also Jazz's wasn't bad.

Posted by: MR.1UP Jan 31 2009, 04:44 PM
so why the f were you mad!! i mean the guy said "if i missed anyone please tell me asap" and if you "doodled" it why would you enter when you knew yours sucked "just like everyone else's"!

sure I too could have probably stuffed together some entry and claimed a badge, but I didn't, and that's my loss. That drawing comp badge to the left of this post was won when there were only 5 entries, and nobody complained. I'll be damned if I'll be letting people shoot down the only entries here because they're not "good enough". If there's a "standard" perhaps you should have set it by posting something of your own rather than out-right critisizing others because they're "not as good as the standard that wasn't set".

and to be honest the only one that really needs to be shot down is Fawful's because somewhere along the lines it was distorted to the extent that it stopped being pixel art. But even then it's probably not entirely his fault.

Posted by: MR.1UP Jan 31 2009, 04:51 PM
hahah i love when people yell.. isofawnney.. but ok all i'm sayin is it's funny when i he got mad over a little compo and then insulted everyone lol... and yes i will stop *****ing at Shawn hahahaa!

No...it is my fault because to be honest I didn't really try. I just posted something here for the heck of it and maybe next compo I'll actually work on something good. I had a great and different idea but was too lazy to make it happen so I did this instead.
