Hahaha, I'm just reading random posts in this thread, it's funny as hell. Okay here's another one I just whipped up, another boss from final fantasy. what do you guys think so far? is it dark on yer monitors?

i'm gonna do a few more entries too, i reeaallly want that wii.

i like it. just keep in mind that the intention of these was to imagine putting them back in the game. try to think of em as a detailed animation cell. I really do like some of the more painterly ones in this thread, but they may be hurting their own chances of winning if they're too much like production art and not something that could be used theoretically in a hi-def 2-d game.

I like the different thickness of lines that you use. Did you do that on purpose or did it just turn out that way?

Purpose. I actually made the outline on paper and inked it, I just can't stand doing that shit with the tablet. I have no idea how Jeff, Jose and Stamper do that shit without going CRAZY, it seems to take ages to get what I want with that stupid-ass tablet. I can ink that drawing within an hour with my good ol' brush and pen.

ive been on a wacom for like..6 yrs now. I used to do it the stamper way with bending lines then converting to fills, but it was driving me insane so ive opted for just using the brush and using thr smooth tool in places to get out the kinks. its not as precise, but i can live with it.

Are we suppose to draw a cell-shaded HD of the sprite. Or can I do a soft-shaded style for my entry? Thanks in advance!

check out the ones submitted so far. you can do hard edged coloring or a more painterly look - your choice.

yeah i wasnt expecting so many. id hate to see some poor soul try and animate one of those for a game.

its all cool with me though.

I got my system right when it came out with R.O.B.I.E. the robot and the light gun. it came with gyromite and duckhunt. not even super mario bros. was out yet.

you played it with the robot...i dont remember liking it very much. btw awesome user name.

and "christ", yes i deleted your submission.

because its beyond terrible - sorry

That's an odd one to have played first. Did you get your NES out of a pawn shop and pick some random game? Heh.

Deadbabyguy,

The Blanka is probably going to sweep the competition, good work dude. And thanks for linking Dead Skin Mask on Newgrounds mainpage way back when. My only claim to fame, hahah.

you prolly traced it

Lol, it wasn't a very complicated picture. I just drew it with a mouse on MS Paint I don't know how I could've traced it...

No MS paints allowed? It looked pretty good (to me atleast)

post it again, and ill tell you if it was deletion worthy.

just know we expect people to spend more than 5 minutes on submissions.

here's a "smick", from the first nintendo game I ever played - Gyromite.

NEW RULE:

if any of you post another clearly trace bitmapped drawing and try to pass it off as your art, im coming to your house and sonic booming you in the face.

So who would you say is winning right now??

I'm already having a terrible time picking the best one and we still have 2 weeks to go. choosing the top 5 is gonna be a complete nightmare. with that said, there's a bunch I really like so far and some that make me wish for death, but thats the way it is with all these contests.

Mister Johnny A. Utah, please lemme know if I'm on the right track.
I've tried evah so hard, dearie.

you are..sort of. :)

if yours looks something like these, you're on the right track.

these really need that addtional something. they look like really nice traced bitmaps at the moment.

Here's a very rough guide for those that dont know what to do based on what we've got so far. I just obviously threw this together with random examples.

SORRY iunic, i love your art but I'm gonna include it again here for people to see what not to do. dont take it too hard, we all love you.

these are not close enough to the sprite:

still very nice rendering though.

well its pretty cool - you're right, its not exactly the best candidate to win, but id still love to see it finished.

At 7/8/07 03:21 AM, LiftYourSkinnyFists wrote: Just started, might cell-shade it. Baddie from castlevania What do you guys think?

well i like the head, but id bring in the leg so its more in the pose of the sprite.

I'd suggest to everybody, to blow up the sprite and overlay your art on top so it resembles the same shape and pose.

But because i'm a whore, i'd still like some crit.
Nice png version.

i like it shirt turtle.

I think if you want some advice, add some detail, or enhance the coloring atleast.

we dont wanna see total trace jobs here. I'm totally open to changing the style alittle too...but it should have the same basic proportions and shape/pose as the original sprite.

Here is 4+ hours worth of effort.

I give you, VEGA, outline....not ANYWHERE near done.

Tell me what you guys think.

he's good, but you're dangerously close to straying away from the original sprite pose.
i think since that's a winning pose and not an attack animation you can get away with it though.

there's TONS of games out there. you dont even need to do the games main characters. you can do an enemy or boss.
