Is it pixelated on purpose? Looks pretty accurate otherwise, but somewhat blurry. Lost Vikings was great.

Yeah, the finished one will have softer lines, or whatever you call them :)

I like it a lot, but some of the shading looks a little strange. Parts of it look like you put the whole thing through an emboss filter, or something. Besides that I think the drawing's awesome.

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?

I have put in over 10 hours worth of work.

Right now, I am getting ready for the beach. Then when I get back, I will put at least another 10 hours into a piece, but mindchamber can suck me until then.

GOD NO...NOT A HOBBY...THEN A TOUGH DAY AT THE BEACH...THEN BACK TO YOUR HOBBY AGAIN? THERE IS OFFICIALLY NO GOD.

And lemme guess...just to add the icing to your cake of despair, mom's making POT ROAST FOR DINNER...and you HATE POT ROAST!

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.

Someone deleted my picture off the thread for some reason and didn't even bother sending me a pm or anything what the fuck?!

Are my artistics skills that good or what? I forgot to add my signature but I don't think that's a requirement right?

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.

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)

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.
