Sprite Compo Numero 155, with a little taste! ;)

pure skills.

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.

I agree with you.

Grant is right.

if you can't make PA's, tough luck. get better. stop complaining.

and grant, let people have fun for once. it doesn't have to adhere exactly to the book. personally I think this is a fun idea. (granted, I'm probly not gonna finish because *cough*ineverdofinishthesethings*cough*, but I can't wait to see what comes out of this comp.)

Point is, where not all godly spriters, but is ee where your coming from.

Nice job, It looks round now, and it has a unique texture to it.

Not sure if the blocky style is doing its purpose here, what was its purpose?

i make pixel art olololololol

really though ill make a srs one later.

same concept though.

Idk, I actually love the blocky style.

Buuut then again I always love it.

Err, landscapes aren't my strong point...

I suck..

ORO? (Rurouni Kenshin - Hotel Mario mashup parody)

[P.S. Yeah I had a good idea but I think I'll make it into a realistic digital drawing instead)

Its a work in progress, but its bowser.

Lovin' shymouse's Goomba... might enter depending on how busy I am in the next couple days..

Awesome

Mega-WIP

Based somewhat off of a sketch I never finished, but lineart was made today.

No, you're lazy.
The amount of effort it looks like you put into this is close to nothing. I'm sure you could make something decent, but you need to really try.

I'm not done at all but so far mines the worst.

I still have to do the sky and ground and grass.
Going to add two more layers for the front and back.

Well Flame maybe you should do like a taller grass instead of short! it would look a lot better!!
