ok heres some - vega is a pretty detailed sprite already, so get creatve with your detail or textures to really make him superior to the original. he's already cell shaded, so think of ways to make him really stand out. - soften the coloring for a more painterly look, give him slightly more realistic colors, etc..those are just possible suggestions.

You know no one will probably better yours, BUT there are alot of good ones soo far.....unfinished ones, but they´re coming out quite good. Frolics one looks nice....and the Vega one.....but one hing i´m seeing here is that alot of the sprites are just being traced and coloured nicely.

I traced portions of mine to ensure shape accuracy...I moved and refined things as well.

also people, this isnt a fucking race to get yours in the thread first. you got till the 25th so dont rush it. quality over quantity.

dunno about you, but id love to shade him...he's 100% black with one strong blue light source coming down from the upper right...and a faint purple one coming from the lower left, just keep that in mind and he should come out alright.

akuma took about an entire day...alex and popinski were done together in less time.

Lets say you submit 2 or 3 drawings and they really kick ass ... can you get 3rd and 4th place?

or u just win based on ur best one?

submit as many as you want. when we judge, we group all the submissions of each person and go with what we think is the best one. one prize per person, per contest.

Can anyone give me a better definition of "sprite" so I can make my drawing choices better?

do me a favor and don't even bother entering. if you dont have any respect for the simplicity and iconicness of old school game sprites and think everything needs gears of war style graphics, then I feel really damn sorry for you.

I believe they said that was fine.

yeah, you can alter it, it has to be recognizable as the original sprite though...i know that's a grey area, but our examples and the included links to the capcom art is a good example of how far you can go.

Second, are we allowed to make a quick .gif? Like a lot of the fighting sprites, they have animated stances. Are we allowed to do something like that, and still be qualified?

No you can't.

YOU CAN....since we just want people to have fun with this...BUT just include a single frame as well that you want to enter for official judging. it can be next to the animated sprite, or in a second post - in the art thread.

Ok, got it. And I forgot to ask, can we make backgrounds?

you can, but the character sprite will be the thing getting judged. but hey, it's all in good fun right.

I combined elements of Alpha 3 Akuma and Third Strike Akuma, since I like the body proportions of one and the arms on the other...

i'd only be for sprite day if you all promise not to rotate your sprites unnaturally and have long dragged out 20 minute conversations with word bubbles. oh and if theres no mario, sonic, or dbz sprites involved. megaman will always be cool in my book though.

sorry to get off topic there.
