Sprite Comp #66-Shroobs, spoilers perhaps?

So maybe it should be renamed to a pixel art comp? Nobody here is streching out to something like that when someone says sprite. When someone says pixel art, people usually think it's larger artwork done in pixels.

I'm not saying that, all I'm trying to say is sprite is pixel art. I don't want the name changed, I just want to prove my point. Everybody has a different opinion, but they always think the others' opinions are wrong.

I have no idea what you are even trying to say.

I would try entering, but I can't find very many reference pics of anything other than normal Shroobs. And I doubt any normal Shroob sprite that I make is going to beat SSD/OmegaKong's (Which pwns, btw).

I have to agree with delmore. Generaly, when you hear sprite, you usually think of the images used to create the characters in 2D games (if that makes any sense)

I doubt that people think about pixel art when they hear the word "sprite" and vice versa.

SSD/OmegaKong is Frario? wait. what?

I was gonna do some pixel art but I'm not sure if it is allowed, Heli, can I do pixel art?

That's what they're debating. Though I think sprite competition rules state NO pixel art (Unless it's included on the sheet with the sprites).

Frario and SSD are taking the definitions broadly so when you say pixel art, they think of it as every single form of art that is done with pixels, and when you say sprites, they think of anything 2 dimensional drawn on a computer.

This arguement is starting to get pointless and stuff, so all in favor agrees with Admiral Delmore say hey, hey, hey. Those who oppose Delmore's statement say duh...

Anyway, I might enter this one.

Yeah, please, if you guys are going to argue about it, don't do it in the sprite comp topic...

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm having fun reading these posts about ya'll fighting over something as stupid as " Pixel Art vs. Sprites "

We aren't fighting. We are debating.

My entry...

A preview... All I have so far, but I'll be working tonight and tomorrow...


<Edit> Does anyone have some screenshots or references of other Shroob enemies (other than Shroob and Swiggler)? PM them to me if you do... it would be greatly appreciated...

Try entering a Lion into a cat show.

Uhhh...

All sprites are pixel art, but not all pixel art is sprites.

As in - All apples are fruit, but not all fruits are apples.

Get it?

So you can submit pixel art - so long as it's a sprite.

K?

Not true: rendered 3D model sprites exist, as well as vector, hand drawn, and so on...

This ol' argument? Aiyaiyai.

Ah crap.

This problem's been around for forever. It just kind of annoys me when someone wins with a huge, detailed thing, that lacks any use beyond being a huge, detailed thing/ No offense to huge, detailed things, but games aren't made around huge, detailed things alone.

...

So those things in flash games would be sprites? I though they were just reffered to as objects. However, 3D renderings are turned into pixels, and so while they might not have started that way, in the end they are still art composed of pixels. Then again, I guess that would make it the same for all 3d models, as they are displayed on pixelated TV's...

DICTIONARY!

I'd put in the sprites I made for Super Mario War, but... they kinda stink.
