contribute to Ansel's amazing game!

[Ansel]

OK, so I am making this game and in it there is a store/bar area. I wanted to have a random cycle of pirates on the bar stools, and I was going to put in a bunch of cameos of artists I like-- but then I had a lovely idea. I would simply ask the artists themselves to contribute! I asked a few, and they said sure, and then I had an even better idea! I would post this on public forums for anyone to see and help with, provided they have a bit of artistic talent :) You see, this shows that I am all about community collaboration and am a fabulous guy who wants everyone to work together. lmao how gay

anyway, if you're interested, HERE is the template fla and HERE is a little shot of the area you are working with. Try to remain close to this kind of muted color palette, and your pirate should be roughly facing the bar.

PS: I won't accept your pirate if it clashes too much with the rest of the game - use your common sense :)

[Ansel]

oh yeah, also send your files to [e-mail] or upload them on the file-hoster of your choice and drop me a PM.

[nathanielmilburn]

tight dude, I'll definitely draw one or five.

[Kart-Man]

Unexpected file format? :(

Could you release a non-CS3 version plz?

[McJesus]

Delightful idea! :D

[Coolio-Niato]

Man the artwork you produce is really ace material.

[stormoftara]

Cool idea. If I get some free time I'll be sure to draw you something up.

Aight, thanks. :D

Wow, does this art look great. I'll be sure to draw something.

[Bum-Secks]

can the drawing be animated?

[korded]

Any info on the game? Not sure where you're going with it but that one screen alone oozes with amazingness.

[courto1]

I know you probably can't but could you post this in not a .fla file? answers prob no but worth a shot

It's made in flash, dumbass, he can't post it in anything other than a .fla, or a .swf

[DashDingo]

Wow, that's pretty good artwork. I wish I could do that stuff D:

sure, as long as it's not too flashy and loops.

It's a fighting game where you battle a rival pirate crew... expect it very soon.

It's a flash game, so no :C

Thanks! I'm going to edit the colors a little bit to make it fit, but it's ok.

Keep em coming, guys.

boo! I was gonna do something similar ...now I'm gonna have to think of something different (thinking is hard! gah!)

[HolyPeanuts]

Ow.

Doesn't compare in quality to the other stuff but whatever, I'll give it a shot.

it's good dude, but can you thicken the lines and make them all brown? Right now it looks very out of place and I don't want to alter it too much :)

So far I've gotten pirates from 7 different people! This is great, keep going!

[Shpongle]

Meet ALIBABA. He's a the main character in a game I'm making. He's actually chasing some pirates who stole his sheep!!
I've changed the style a bit to fit with yours.
I can also animate him if you want.

Oh yeah, sorry about that I should have noticed that.

[HolyPeanuts]

Fixed it up a bit.

[TheChomper]

There you go, hope you like it.

I think your file is broken. It's 17 kb and flash is telling me it's an unexpected file format.

thank you!

ok guys it is important that your pirate fits with the style of the game :/ i.e. brown outlines the same color as everything else. It's nice, dude, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't fit :C If you want to just recolor it and thicken the outlines it'd be wonderful.

HELPFUL FACTOIDS

I drew everything in this game at 400% zoom with the 4th smallest brush on 40% smoothing. Yes, the 4's are a coincidence. The outline color is #3C311A. I need approximately 1 billion more pirates.

these are great, continue :D

I'm iffy about putting Link in. This was mostly about original characters -- everything I've recieved so far has been an original character, except for a remarkably subtle Jack Sparrow cameo and I was planning to put him in anyway.

ITT: luis reverses psychology

also your pirate is not very pirate-like :3

Thanks! this is nice. The only thing I'd say is to shade it a bit and make him at least vaguely piratey... give him a steel tricorn hat or something.
