well, I'm also in this one... animation will follow, when all details are done...
oh, and she'll get more clothes as soon as the underlying muscles/bones are corrected and finished.

Varock Shade:

ok, thanks btw, can someone tell me how to make an animation (never done it before ) only then ill be able to be part of this challenge

Some people like to make their sprite before animating it.


I am gunna fail at this.

Here's my WIP, haven't finished the character yet

So lets say I was going to enter this competition, which I'm not saying I am.


I'd do the black guy who killed megaman and stole his gun.

well it looks like somebody never watched the matrix.

now to start animating.

any better?

The fact that I am an extra life prevents me from being injured in the event of a ball kicking.

I would say more 'tentacly' hat things.

those who complain about the minimum size:
har. Its not like you cant make the sprite size 100*150 and then make the character muuuuch smaller in the middle of the picture. Unless they plan to measure the size of the character in the picture and all, the minimum size restrictions are ultimately useless.
(point of this post: use your head)

They may :0

doesn't this remind you the "game mockup challenge"?

- how about a standing animation that bobs his head between 121 and 115 pixels height?

Extra lives only protect you if you die. You can still get hurt. :P

No it's not complicated BUT DAMN sometimes characters don't have uprightish stances always, width can very often overtake height. It's not good having a lower bound on the width, sure, I don't mind the height, but the width is too small for the dynamic wide-ish stance I'm trying and would have been in these cases.



Sure I don't have to enter, so I won't, it doesn't matter, people can complain if rules are off or unrealistic. It is helpful to put some thought into them before making them. I'm out, blah.

I wish my knees could do that...

i think there have been challenges a lot more twisted

my point its that pixeljoint members usually show really complex work that i sometimes think i can never do, and with a little size restriction they start crying like babies, its not a contest to make a street fighter character, just a battle standing in a determinated size

honestly when domino came to me to ask me to tranlsate for her the rules of the contest i tought to myself that the topic was too simple, and i've never did before chars for a fighting game, its not like its easy to me just, and now im surprised becouse half of the people complains.

As i said i almost never enter the challenges becouse the topics are strange or even becouse of some strange size restrictions, but i dont waste my (and others) time complaining, i just wait the next one

EDIT : just to give a specific example, some time ago with the alien in his spaceship challenge, i didnt participated becouse i hated the size restriction, but i didnt complained
in the previous one i just didnt participated becouse of the topic, was... i dont know, i didnt found any fun oon it, and i didnt complained neither...

xDDDDD good advice, ok sorry xD

what part of WIP is so hard for everyone to understand?

anyways, i just started a new one. i really didnt like where this one was going.

new animation plz.



does it look any better with an extra shade? [just wondering]


Edited by 1up - 24 May 2007 at 3:36pm

I'm guessing the animation frames need to be set to restore background as the un/redraw method.  As for the shades, I think it does look better with the extra one, though for animation I think it's easier to ignore the shades until the outlines of all the frames are done.

always to be sure to check the disposal method.  i learned the hard way and check every time now.

+: give him a little shin movement, looks odd having only his thighs moving. great work

Eeh, minor update... not really satisfied with much of it and not sure if I'll have time to get it looking anywhere near good by the end of this competition, I have too much crap going on getting ready for graduation and parties and stuff... anyway, here's the update:
