Sprite Competition #104

Final entry.

They aren't EXACTLY the same. But they can be used for the same purpose and are don't pixel by pixel.

Man... This is hard! The blending colors is HARD to work with.

Very good, but add more stars and they would also probably look better if they were rotated.

I can barely tell that's Count Bleck.

X Gamer's entry should be allowed.

is this over yet?...sorry to be late I've been working at school too much.
So I still got time for this one? o_0

EDIT:Nevermind, I'll wait until next comp.

I added some attitude...

To the pixelart/sprite discussion, if you don't think it belongs in the Sprite Competition, the obvious solution is just not to vote for it.

But then you get all the n00b MFGGers going 'XGAMER BECAUSE AWESOME!!!'
And if PA is allowed in competitions my first place badge would be up to 5+ by now. Not to sound like a **** or anything.


and:

I'm really disappointed in myself. :<
I just had to get that out of my system.

If its a sprite competition then its supposed to be sprites no pixelart I supposed.

In past sprite compos people did pixel art.

I know, and most of them win cuz pixel art look better than sprites.
But again, I didnt make the rules.
It would be nice if it was a separate comp. you know...one for sprites and another one for pixel art.

EDIT:The only "sprites" I see in this one could be the ones made by:
Prometheus
Pikaboo
and sonic luigi15

By definition there is NO difference between a sprite and a pixelart. Techincally, the only difference in their definitions are that sprites are always used in video games, while pixel arts can be (therefore not always are) used in video games.

Oh, and I know someone is going to say "Pixelarts are big and sprites are small" or something, so I'll say this now; that it completely untrue, it's possible to have an 8x8 pixelart or a 2,000x2,000 sprite. I also know someone will say "Sprites have multiple poses". So basically, going by that, the instance in which I make another pose it magically changes from a pixel art to a sprite? Or the instance in which I find a use for mine in a game it's automatically a sprite?

In all honesty I don't mind if I get disqualified or whatever, I had fun making mine and learned a lot from it and that's all that's important. If it is not allowed, hoever, I would at least like these questions answered:

What is the difference between a pixelart and a sprite?

If there is a difference between the two, it's obviously very small. And all sprites are pixelart, though argueably not all pixelarts are sprites. So why disqualify "pixelart", that which is "different" from sprites?

The only reason, it seems, is that "'Pixelarts' always look better than 'sprites' and therefore give the maker of the 'pixelart' an unfair advantage," which is totally untrue, because, since the two are made in the exact same fashon, it's all dependant on the creator's skill.

--------

Heh, sorry for the rant, I just love debating over petty things. Like I said, I don't care if mine's disqualified or not, but I wanna know the difference between sprites and pixelarts.


@ Rep: I know you can do much better, but it's damn awesome anyway ;D
@ SL15: Looks pretty cool I say. :3

Sprites and Pixel Art are basically the same. But... since there is an ART comp and Sprites are considered as ART. Pixel ART should be in ART comps, not the Sprite comps.

I've always been able to tell a distinct difference between sprites and PA, by detail, size, and the animations it uses. But I still believe in PA=Sprite. They're both art of pixels, thus pixel art.

UPDATE! For two reasons.
1. My original was more like pixel art. Since people are disputing over pixel art and sprites, I made mine more like sprites.
2. Other peoples entries are getting better, so I made mine better.

Also includes BUILD-A-BLECK

Edit:forgot that photobucket makes my images smaller

Added better staff, plus made better animation.
