Just be sure to add a lot of unique details to it. A lot of pictures so far have just been blowing up the sprite with sharp outlines. If you add some nice details like in TimFrommeyer's or nathanielmilburn's, it will be cool.
I finished coloring the beard and boots, is it OK?
Or does it need more details?

it looks a little blurry. but i think that is just because of the way you exported it unless you are using like a spray paint brush or something to color it in. maybe add some more crisp shading to make it look cleaner. anyways as of right now good start.

That's indeed a pain in the ass... Try cutting out any empty space in the borders. It worked for me. I was having problems with my Dr. Franken . I had spent a lot of time making lots of details and it wasnt showing very well. So I cut off the borders and scaled down my sprite, and it was sharp enough.
But I'm not an expert and my english sucks... Hope I was useful!

What, you're having stovetop in a canister at 7:00? That's what we're having at 6:00?!

Hmmm...maybe....

Great submissions sofar by everyone, this contest is bringing out everyones best!

This is my WIP of Commander Keen, any C & C is welcome and would be much help. I'm mainly having trouble with the body proportioning, the sprites legs look like they are in an almost impossible position, so it is coming out odd.

you lead a good competition guys, but this isnt on

i didnt trace my picture. fine, i may have used most of the outline but that doesnt mean the art is a blatent copy. its not fair to waste a lot of peoples time halfway through. if youre going to delete these so called 'traced' pieces of work, do so starting now not the ones already in place.

im gonna go off now and actually try and get this thing within the new rule
...but fuck you anyway.

you do realise they're the judges dont you? They're not actually wasting yout time by deleting it. If you're so proud of it why not create a separate thread for it and your stuff.

so its fair for a judge to change the 100m sprint to a 500m sprint during olympics even though the competitors have been training for a 100m sprint? i dont think so.

Johnny,

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.

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.

I think my first came with Duck Hunt/SMB and Track and Field. I remember getting the powerpad with it, but can't remember if Nintendo had an official bundle.

i think it did but there was like an option of smb and track and field or sfb/duck hunt.. i could be wrong tho.. i do remember that pad being bundled for some reason

The original is the smallest one, so I thought I'd show that one as well as a slightly larger one so it was easier for people to see.

Entered my fourth one.

Edmund's is wonderful and the best thing to lose against.
Epic art so far. This contest is coming along so nicely.

I don't know when I'll stop entering submissions, for now it's still fun and some practise, and I wanna try competing with the best HD's entered so far.
