New Year's Sprite Edit Competition! [NYE THREAD]
|
Just so I'm clear, it has to be a pokemon-related sprite, right?
I'm gonna join anyways, I just need to think of a good idea. XD |
Yes, of course
Anyway, Looking forward to your entry~ |
I have a question to :3
Is it just a recolor or can you use parts of other Pokemon? |
You can do both recolors and splices~
|
Thanks! :) Count me in ~
Perfect Idea ~ :D |
Still not good at spriting but I'll try this event out. ;)

Are we by any chance allowed to scratch parts of the edit? For instance, I may be doing a sort of snowman, could I scratch twigs, etc?

Congratulations to all of the winners!
|
Haha ties. Congratulations to those people won won in this event!
|
*is so happy* ;w; |
Congratulations everyone! ^.^
|
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Congrats to the winners, but how were the sprites judged? Because Bluerang's entry doesn't look like a first place quality sprite (no offense). Just compare it to all the other winners and even some of the non-winning entries submitted. I'm sure others are wondering the same thing. I'm just the first to say it. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
It's a bit odd nothing was mentioned about accepting sprites that had been auto-resized but I'd be interested in hearing the judges opinions on the contest entries regardless.
|
o_O I won something. *is speechless* Thank you! Thank you so much! And congrats to the other winner and participators :)
Edit: At those who are sceptical about my entry winning, I was quite suprised as well. However, maybe it's because I simply edited one sprite, and not a Pokemon sprited at that, and also that I went with the general theme/idea of New Year(2011). :) |
Quote:
Me and Sammyskitty would give each sprite a score out of ten in three categories: Uniqueness, Creativeness and Neatness. Then all the scores would be added together to get the final score. And the sprites with the highest scores win. I think the judging method was fair. Bluerang's entry wasn't that neat, though it was quite creative and unique, so it won. It was unique because it was one of the few trainer sprites, and creative because it was one of the few New Year themed sprites. |

Quote:
Bluerang, one thing you should know about pixel art is to never auto-resize anything, and resizing manually is a bad idea in itself unless you do so in increments of 100. |
Thanks for the tip Amachi.
|
Quote:
Also, auto resized? I never knew Bluerang's entry was auto resized. |
I don't know what auto-resize is but yes, I made the image bigger. My bad if it's against the rules. But yeah, let's drop it, let me be happy winning something for once :)

Quote:
If you zoom in by about three times or so it becomes much easier to see if a sprite has been auto-resized, enlarged by a computer program or whatever you want to call it. |
