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

Finished much sooner than expected!

Palette (36 colors):


PA (200x200):

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.

lookin' good so far... perhaps those white gaps need to be filled in, though.

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.

It's not a matter of not adhering "EXACTLY" to the book; it's a matter of going entirely against the book - contradicting the book.

yeah, i'll fix em when I colour it.

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.

Here's one I whipped up. I may do a completely different one later.

Interesting. Might enter.

BAB you better enter.

Nice, could use a bit better shadng on the tail though...

Needs more shading on the bricks and the whole picture in general.

haha nice ****ing try.
you'd beat everyone here

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...

I fail to see the problem of Pixelart competitions, you wont improve if you stick to your safety zone, and it's much easier to practise on larger, more detailed pieces.

NDSFreak that is nowhere near 200x200.

Also, dropping out. Instead of being mean and just not posting at all for the rest of the competition.

It aint done. Thats just the focus.

Actually, I'm dropping out. It'll be to hard to make this into a 200x200 pixel peice.
