Sprite Competition #140: The DK Krew, The Gang's all here

...Like he said, give em a chance.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!111111!!!1111

'Kay so I finished two animations. This may be the final entry. I just need some C+C.

A lot of these animations are really cheap.
You could at least have them do some kind of movement with their whole body, rather than blinking and stuff.

I'll probably add pounding while mad later. Maybe walking to.

The only entry I liked so far was Draco's and he's been banned, come on and do better guys.

That should have been made WAY clearer in the first post.


Incidentally, has it perhaps occurred to you that the reason people are minimally following requirements and/or not entering is that these characters are, comparatively speaking, really difficult to sprite?

If you disqualify too many things, it'll be no wonder if hardly any entries result and hardly anyone wants to join the competition.

Difficult? All you have to do is sprite any of the kongs, even Baby DK (well, he is a kong, just wasn't given a reference), and make them like do two actions. I do not see how these are so hard to do.

A, if you don't know the different between to animations and two frames, you need to learn more about spriting.

I don't get how you can think the Kongs aren't difficult to sprite compared to Mario characters. Mario characters' designs are far simpler by and large.

And no, it's still a problem that you didn't make the animation thing clearer. When setting down rules for a competition, you should define your terms so that people don't get confused. I'm not the only one who thought you meant 2 frames, and that's probably partly because I don't remember anyone making a rule about "x number of animations" in a Sprite Comp in the past; there were, on the other hand, rules about "x number of frames". So it's not surprising that there was confusion, and please don't get all elitist on people for being "ignorant" of exact spriting terminology.

The first post says two animations, that means two animations. Not two frames, or two sprites, two animations. I really hate to disagree with you grant, but there's really no other way to be clearer then that.

If you don't know what Animations/Frames are, that's cool. Admit to your mistake, and get over it.

The problem doesn't lie with Grant; rather, the wording of the post, combined with the ignorance of others (who actually don't know the difference), also coupled with the fact that Draco only made one animation (yet was somehow qualified) contributed to Grant's (as well as Dr. Light's and my own) confusion.

This pretty much sums it up.

I did forget to say that I forgot Draco's entry was out. I forgot he only made one animation.

Oh.


...Well that clears up all the confusion.

Okay, I hope I can post this, it is still a WIP, i'll update later.


Oh, by the way it is MLSS Cranky

Shouldn't the voting for the top 5 start?

Well, there are only 5 entries (correct me if I'm wrong) that qualify.
Should I just start final voting or extend the due date?

Update: New face

Yep. There are 5. I counted.

Might as well start the final voting.
