Hi everyone I'm squall, the host fo this months competition. I have been authorised by Forest Grovyle to do this.
This months theme is. Superheroes ;) I am looking for judges so if you want to judge please pm me Judges 1. Squall 2. Mystic Trunks |
I'll be a judge for thiis contest.
|
yup ok so i will put the judges in the first post one more judge please
|
You know that there should be two threads?One for entries and one for discussion.Which one is this?You didnt specify.
|
o yes sorry this is the discussion sorry i was so happy that i finally got to be hosting a contest that I forgot lol.
|
what is the point of a contest about one thing, some people could have never heard of FF i hardly know any of the characters except off 10, 8 and 9
|
well then do that or you could give me ideas before ppl start posting...
|
hey dont listen to me i live in a bin, tis true, good luck to you and your contest
|
.......ok then now u confused me *walks into wall* why dont you enter?
|
You need an entry thread and a discussion thread for starters...
|
entry thread hasnt been stickied and this is discussion but Fg logged off again
|
he has them, dont you read all the thread titles and posts, he said that this is the discussion thread
|
ok less talk more action enter already.... pwease
|
does this contest include the FF movie
|
if you want lol anything to do with FF ;)
|
I also don't know any FF charters(I was going to search n google XD)... But anyway another nice theme is religion... Like the voice of the god on a ray of sun etc.
|
ummmmm.....maybe you could search on google ;) or you could make up a character with a weapon... can be custom
|
How could ANY ONE not know of Final Fatantasy!
Well, I got the instruction book for FF7 here. I can skan some of the cast if you need it. Any limit to the poses? (Everyone knows I'm doing FE style. Gotta beat The great Mattaias) |
nope you can do anything Daviku
|
For discussional purposes, here's the entry I posted in the entry thread.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/ionem/cloudutor.gif It's about 90% original. The only thing I didn't do was the faces, though I modified them a bit. |
Ugh. This is stupid. These contests need to be more broad. Not EVERYONE has ever played Final Fantasy. It's going to be harder for me to slaughter everyone now.
|
hey just what i said, **** shortness thing
|
Agreed this is stupid,i've never even played FF...>> Bad move by FG letting you do this...=/
|
Noooooooo! I just started making a FF sprite! (found a pic on google)
|
fine you got any other ideas???
|
^ As I said religion is a pretty cool topic... And it has a lot of room.
|
yeh tho wont that be borin??? we could do sport or something
|
How? Armaggedon, the wrath of god, four horseman of the apocalypse and so on...
|

|
Maybe a good theme would be Anime Related?Like Pokemon,Full Metal Alchemist and stuff like that.
|
ok i have one you have to do super heros.... or has anyone heard of sailor moon?
|
Nah...it's best to stay away from particular series of any kind. All that does is exclude more people than is necessary, since not everybody will know about that series or even like it.
Something like superheroes sounds like it'd be okay, though. It's broad enough. |
ok then just superheroes then is that ok?
|
Okay with me,we lost enough time already...We have to choose something.
|
Someone delete this thread. Y'know what they say. If at first you don't succeed, destroy any evidence that you ever tried.
|
ok super heroes is the theme get workin please and it's my thread so dont start telling everyone to delete it.
|
That's not fair! I worked tirelessly on my entry and you just change it because some people haven't played the games? If they don't know about it then they should look it up in wikipedia!
|
well ive just made a super hero sprite so, either way its gonna be annoyin, and super heros is a much broader subject.
|
There ARE a lot of FF games to.And people can just search on google for info.Its not that hard.
|
Apologies for the mix-up, armadilloHD :( Unfortunately the FF theme would have alienated too many spriters who hadn't played the games.
I think that we should allow your sprite as a valid entry though as you did spend much time and effort on it, and you didn't know the theme had changed. :) The same goes for anyone else who didn't know and had already made a sprite...if anyone has any objections to this please PM me and don't clutter the thread with them, but I want to set things right. :) |
I honestly do not see how hard it would be to go to google, type "final fantasy <insert number here>" in google image searches @[email protected]
Well... anyways. Super Heroes is a nice theme.. good break from all the mont themed ones. :X |
What the ****? Changing the **** topic because some people can't use google?
I don't play Final Fantasy. I don't like Final Fantasy. I don't consider it a real RPG. But still, who has honeslty never even heard of it? Especially here, at a site based on games. I don't have the time to make a new sprite, and while I do know that it will be accepted, I really don't think that it's right to completely change it. Why not change the theme to Popular Console RPGs or something instead of superheroesp, whish is way too far from the original. Hell, it's too late now, but wouldn't simply broadening it have been better? At least put FF in parentheses in the thread after the theme, so people don't get congused and think that I'm an idiot for turning Exeggutor into Cloud. |
In a situation like this it's virtually impossible to please everyone, and changing the theme for a third time would only confuse and possibly annoy people. Apologies to those who already made FF-based sprites - as I've said, they will be accepted as well if you've already made them so your work doesn't go unnoticed.
I think it's best and safest to stick with the current theme so that everyone knows what it is, and continue from here. If you'd like to ask any questions, PM me, but please try to keep further discussion of the theme out of this thread as it could lead to flaming. --FG |
I finished my entry. It's obviously inspired by Calvin & Hobbes. Here it is again for those of you who don't feel like going over to the other thread.

NO. SHUT UP. You're not allowed to make me feel guilty anymore.

I'm not allowed? Aww... but it was so fun.. :(
*pokes ideas* I still don't know what to do.. :P |
I must say, you got his style like a bullseye 5 thumbs up! ...
|
My entry (yes, another morph entry) is based on a superhero MMORPG char of mine.
|
Quote:
Hehe, it's a good thing I made my sprite after the topic was changed. If you wanna see him, go ahead and check the entry thread. His name is Super-cross. ^^ Hehe, corny. |
I love Allstories' entry. XD
|
FG said that entries made before the change are excepted too.
|
Thanks for editing the line about how it was previously final fantasy. That's all I wanted, just do people don't think I don't know what a superhero is. :x
By the way... http://l-u-k-e.co.uk/images/stupendous.gif http://www.3dmm.net/image/stupendousmansprite.gif I don't know, but it looks like the picutre was justt aken and pixelated. I really don't want to seem like a **** or anything, and it is an awesome job, but still, should that really be allowed in a sprite contest like this against people that are doing more original things or actual sprite edits? Edit: Upon further inspection, it does look like the image may have only been used for reference, but still... Meh. Maybe it's just me. :x |
Even if I used an image as a reference, I fail to see how it's anywhere near as unoriginal as recolors or edits of existing Pokémon sprites, which account for about 90% of the sprites on this site. Sorry, you don't get to out-complain me.
EDIT: Ah-ah. I see the confusion. Yes, I used the picture for reference, but did it completely from scratch in Paint with lots of help from the curved line tool. |
Quote:
W00t! 200th post! XD |

|
xD Me too. Though..I never used it when I made mine. I did mine entirely from scratch, using a R/S Heracross sprite for reference.
|
Allstories that sprite makes mine look like a recolour of a Pikachu from a person who only uses default colours =P
I made one and it's entirely based on body pats from the games, Flannery's leags, Brawly's hair due [Couldn't resist XD], guitar dudes head, lance's cape and arms and Normans body. I might make another one, possibly my secong scratch sprite since they look awsome... Random: Oreos and cheese don't match. ~DL~ |
I just think that a spriting contest should be limited to sprites...
(and don't give me bull**** about sprites can be any size. Yeah, they can, but things like that aren't sprites.) Really, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to deny the awesomeness of that. Especially now that I see that the picture was only ued for reference. I like it a lot and I respect your work. I'm not a totally bad guy. ;) But, I dunno, I mean, to a spriter like me, I see making huge images using the curved line tool and stuff as not fair to those of us who actually draw the ting, zoomed in 8x, with the pencil tool, going pixel by pixel. I mean, isn't that the essence of spritework? I've noticed that lots of you people here deny that pixel art and spriting can be different. You're both wrong and right. Spriting is a form of pixel art, and as such, pixel art can often be seen as spriting. But really, actual spriting is getting into the nitty-gritty and not using any sorts of "tools". Meh, whatever. I'm probably just in a grumpy mood. :\ |
ionem sprites are pixel art, how many times does any person have to say that on this site, ADH and DP said it ADH even has a topic on the subject and it is stickied, i do my pixel-arts pixel by pixel with a reference, mine look good anyway, i use the fill tool only
|
*stays out of that argument*
Anyways.. I entered my sprite in... Power Rangers count as superheroes right?? I mean.. they save the world.. >_> |
Hehe, I guess they do count. xD
Quote:
|
Ionem, sprites and pixel art in general are equally as capable of being made with tools and such. There are some people hardcore enough to make dazzling pixel art stuff using individual pixels. Check out this other site I sometimes go to: http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/default.asp
|
enough with the arguments lol they are all superb so far it is gunna be a hard choice when I pick the winner
|
Superb? Wow, I never thought mine would be included in that category. xP
|
yup... i think everyones is great. My lil bro came in the room and saw supercross and went...
"WOOOOOOOOOW WHO DREW THAT IT IS AWSOME" lol |

... Really? Sweet! Super-cross is glad to hear it. xD |

I love Super-Cross too. Hehehe, I have a parody for it... Faster than a speeding Ninjask More powerful than Dragonite And able to leap tall buildings while fighting off a Charizard.. It's...SUPER-CROSS! *dun dun dun dun dun DUUUN* |
what does j00 think of my super pika
he could be super cross's side kick *calms down* |
Quote:
|
is this argument going to go on all month!?
|
Yeah anything bigger than a gba screen I don't consider a sprite!
|
Quote:
I just wanted to shut him up about that "Limit" The entries are looking good, not as tense as the last one though ;>> |
im not even going to attempt to enter this contest my sprites i enter suck

Quote:
Sprites can be any size they want. Sprites are a form of Pixel Art as Pixel art creates them. A few people prefer smaller sprites some prefer larger. Yeah thats my $00.01 in it =P I personally like my smaller sprite better than my Pixel Art, mostly 'cause I'm a fan of smaller sprites =P ~DL~ |
Nice going armadilloHD you gave me a link to a forbbiden page? Fine and then this is a sprite:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y22/Shuko/captain_clefairy.png (made by shuko) |
its forbidden to you not to me though, and thats pixel art by shuko
|
well yeh but shuko might have given him permission. in which case he is allowed and it is a nice sprite
|
What no I am not entering that for Shuko! Sheez... And that is a sprite not a pixel art.
O and thanks for da bad rep. |
Ok it's rather pointless how you keep arguing about sprites.
A sprite is a pixel character, preferably in 8, 16, or 32-bit. They are fairly common, and are used in games such as Rockman/Rockman X etc. That's really all there is to sprites. |
ALERT. The last entry in the contest isn't even a sprite.

what the heck is going on
the last 2 entries WTF |
THE SKY IS FALLING
A challenge would be nice, guys. I like to win, but not if everyone else doesn't even try. |
Well..I tried. Super-cross was my first custom..I just enter the contests for fun.
|
Quote:
Well I can't decide between powerpuf girls or some custom hero XD |
do your own darkpegasus try it. i did mine in paintshop pro.
|
DarkPegasus, I recommend you try a custom. Customs are fun to make. You have no restrictions, and you aren't limited to the 'how-it's-supposed-to-look' mindset. With customs, you can make it however you like. But if you are concerned about difficulty level, then custom might not be what you want to do. Anymoo, that's just MO.
Paintshop Pro? Man, I just use MSPaint. xD |
fweee same here just my paint bust ¬¬
|
This may have been asked already but what about your own superhero characters can you post your own designs of superheroes that you made?
If so then I'll post mines up right away. |
No! How could you even consider being original?
(I was actually being sarcastic. To answer your question, yes, feel free to make your own superhero) |
yes you do get to make your own BB cant wait to see your entry
|
I entered my Elvis Superhero.(blushes)
|
W00t, now we've got some rising competition. Super-cross loves competition. xP
|
I just can't wait for the results to come in.
|
So what do you guys think of my entry?
|
Alright...as it's the end of September, I went ahead and closed the entries thread. If anybody else had an entry for the contest...sorry, you're out of luck by now. :P
|
Who's running the October contest? Because if possible, I'd like to do it, since I think I'd be capable of making it not suck.
