it was a kick ass game.. who likes my attempt

This drawing is awesome! I love the way you detail the gun. All it lacks is shades of colors, add some shades and you'll be have some serious competition here.

It is coming along pretty well. I remember that boss on Metroid Fusion. He was pretty difficult but it was still fun.

it would be pretty hard.

not only it has to be good, its has to have variety.. we are not gonna pick the same style twice, even if its a different sprite.

And even if theres are two amazing pieces .. artwork is like a signature. you can see a similarity in styles.

not to mention abunch of other factors.

Ok, like i said we place our trust in you guys to choose the best peices and just hope something like that doesn´t happen.

I guess it's appropriate that your new level icon is a razor blade.

I got the head compleated, now working on the body and fuku (which'll be alot easier to do).

Any comments, crits, and suggestions? As you can see from the sketch i'm toying with the idea of 'updating' her design to that of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

And no, no watermark this time. =P

It looks really cool, but could you supply the sprite you used just to make sure you didn't just make up the pose.

Get a program like flash or photoshop to color it. It's really cool looking, but a colored version would make it so much better I bet.

Or just use traditional media, like crayons or paint.

I'd have to agree with Turkey on this one. If you don't have the know-how (or patience) to to use CG color then their's always crayons and markers. Though it would look cooler if you colored it, if you do decided do to submit as-is I'm pretty sure it would be okay, I mean they have been fairly lenient so far. But then again I'm just a dude in a forum, if your really worried about it you should PM one of the mods.

The proportions seem about right and the face is all cutesy. There isn't much say except she is kind of cross-eyed.

Hello!

I saw this contest through the reinstated "bytesize viewer" on the main page, and figured I'd give it a shot. Yep, this is my first ever post on the NG forums. I read some speculation a few pages back about the large number of new posters that have entered this contest, and my guess is that most of us have the bytesize viewer's plug to thank (rather than most of the newcomers being alternate accounts from existing members).

Anyways, it took me quite a while to decide upon working with this sprite. I wanted to find a sprite that met the following criteria:

1) Not too simple. (This one makes it sound like I'm just being too lazy to fill in my own details, but I honestly wanted to work within the restriction of having a certain level of built-in detail to match/improve.)

2) Not too detailed. (This is the biggest disappointment I've found looking through some of these entries, and I wanted to avoid it. Where's the fun or challenge if you take a sprite that already looks like a high-res drawing, and essentially just do some anti-aliasing? Some entries along these lines look really amazing, and show a great level of skill, and that only makes them all the more disappointing, as they've completely missed out on the spirit of the contest.)

3) I wanted something well-known. (I was willing to give this one up if I ran across a really nice sprite from something obscure, but it seems to me that the end result will have a greater impact on the viewer if it is something they're familiar with.)

And so, I settled on working with this SF Cammy sprite. Now, I actually was trying to avoid using a Street Fighter sprite, as it seems too cliche, given the inspiration for the contest, and not to mention the unconscious comparison to the HD remix project that most will make. However, in the end, out of all of the candidates I narrowed it down to, I simply just had to go with her.

Still not finished, obviously, and needing a lot of polish, but for a WIP, I like how it's coming along. Now, I've just gotta hurry up and finish her before the deadline!

Thankfully I used a mask on the eyes, so I can move them however. I'll try and make her look to the right side of the page like her sprite suggests.

It would be cool if you guys at newgrounds made a part 2 to this contest, where people have to animated there own HD sprites, that would be so interesting.

Yo JohanL that I am error is mad hilarious! LOL I love the look though.

The contest is looking good, I been laughing my ass off on this thread for a while too. Best fun I ever had! =^_^=

Im glad street fighter is actually being redone (Well the graphics at least...), other games like double dragon HD look like your seeing the game through a high res coke bottle filter,which it has to be, because why the hell double dragon would have slow down on and Xbox360?

We have a gold aura and smell like fresh baked cookies.

God, I am nearly done with my drawing, balls against the wall here guys, I've gotta hammer it down in the hours after work.

Soooo close.

Can anyone recommend a good file hosting site for the big picture?

I go to imageshack.us there might be somewhere better, but at least they don't take it down after awhile like photobucket XP.
