Joey's Sprite Comp: Giga Bowser

Pixel art and sprites are not mutually exclusive.

<.<

*shuts the **** up*

It's kind of hard to make a giant thing... not... giant... take it from the WL4 bosses - many types of sprites can be big. It really depends whether they are used actively in gameplay or not.

I concur.

They are not.

Only 3 entries so far... ;_;

Sprite comps die since there is drawing comps! >=O

I think it's more because of the oh so difficult topics. Next time, the topic should be "draw circles" or something like that.

Captain Syrup wasn't that hard of a sprite... and it only had 4 entries when the poll voting topic was created.

And yet everyone complains when the competitions are too easy. Make up your mind or something.

You better finish your Giga Bowser.

Listen you weirdos.

Whether something is a sprite or not is not determined by how it is drawn it is determined by its usage ingame.

For example, in Sonic Advance 2 the ending sprites were drawn on paper, scanned, mouse-traced, and digitally edited*. This is also done with most fighting games' sprites. Often times, parts of the background are actually sprites. ZSNES can disable layers; experiment with a few games.

And by the way. Sprites are pixel art.

*You can find Cream's SA2 ending pose on one her character design sheets.

They often are. But they are not always

Every sprite is pixel art (more or less, unless you count prerendered or handdrawn sprites), but not every piece of pixel art is a sprite.

Not at all.

GET TO SPRITING, SLAVES!

You guys could always make a...uhh..medium sized Giga Bowser if you don't want to sprite a giant one.

Not exactly accurate to the game, but I can see where you could take a normal Bowser-sized sprite and edit it so that it was Giga Bowser.

Methinks this is going to be HARD AND EASY at the same time.

Oh well. Just make that your entry, as long as the comp has 5 it's fine. :P

Though Willy and PK where working on one4 days ago

the last time i looked at that it looked half the size it really is for some reason

As am I, although I'm not sure if I'll finish it (right now I'm trying to work on something for SME2 that, if successful, will be BADASS. Top secret s***. TOP SECRET.)

And I'm not going to factor size in when I'm doing mine. **** that. If you want accurate size, use a small Mario.

I am, though I need time and motivation.
Gimme some plz
