i seen a sketch on my friends computer i liked it alot so i grabbed a cpy for myself a while back. when i seen this challenge i thought i should do a pixel of that character so i did a face portrait of him. i think i did a good job, i read something someone wrote in the comments on the challenge and using transparency as a color for the design was a great idea.
so i did this, i hope it inspires people with there designs. i'm not sure if this is allowed yet so i'm not sure if i'll submit it or not. anyways feedback is welcome! ![]() please note on some selected themes for this site (like the original one selected by default) you may find it hard to see the transparent color on this design. the transparency color would have its greatest effect as a medium tone gray or something like that.

Small Canvas... Low colors... and animation? sounds fun, though i doubt i'll break through the procrastination barrier and get anything done.

Maybe someone read it as "sprite PORTRAIT?" Lmao.
Oh god, animation. You and I are not friends. Here's mine so far. Next step is pulling his plasma pistol out of its holster, then firing it in the sexiest way possible. I'll probably change his arm in the last frame so it doesn't go as low, and I can figure out how he should grab the thing. ![]() |

stitchy , the head seems to be doing an excorist thing, you might want to only have it turn slightly.
Here is my very very rough early version of a blobby type sprite ![]() |

This post kinda applies to everyone, but the rules say *exactly* 3 colors. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me most of these are just 2.

@kudo, maybe you can give more movement to the rest of his body. It looks very windy, perhaps his ears could flap too? There's plenty that could be added if you wanted to do more. Search around for idle animations.
Also, maybe you could try adding more contrast/volume. @linx - Black, White, Transparent. That's three colours. Transparency counts as a 'colour'. Edited by skamocore - 01 February 2010 at 7:48pm |

Damn, this is why I'm a newb. So, would something like this be mildly acceptable? ![]() @RollerKingdom I use GIMP to put everything together. Just set the gif file to clear the previous frame. On my other PC, I use Corel Photopaint, as it's got some nice animation features. Edited by theUltimateJosh - 01 February 2010 at 8:30pm |

@Stitchy: Looks great :D
@RollerKingdom: I'm still getting some onionskinning going on. If you are using GIMP make the layer names something like "Frame 1 (100ms)(replace) @Kudo: Naw, was starting something but I doubt I'll finish it. First week back at school and everything ![]() ![]() I am a little surprised that no one's actually using the transparency as a third colour, I rather thought that was the point O_o |

This challange is a nice one, so I think I'm going to submit something if I have enought time to finish it...
This what I've done so far. Still working on it. Maybe I'm going to add a mace attack animation and something like a poo throwing special attack... This is quite raw and it's the first time I use GraphicsGale, so if you have some tip or advice I'll be glad to hear them... ![]() @ Stitchy: are you kidding? That sprite is great and it seems to start with a very fluid animation! I want to see the end of it... |

Lol, thanks guys. I actually haven't made any more progress since yesterday, ahem. We'll see if I can actually pull this animation off. I didn't think to use the transparency, either, it seems...
But, there are some really awesome entries here so far! Damn! >8D @ smk: It's from an anime called Slayers. Very funny, and one of my all-time favorite anime. |

Just one animation of ONE single full character only.
I'm really not sure what I can do in order to make this easier to understand...There seems to be so much misunderstanding on such a simple challenge. |

I don't know how to not use white transparency in Graphicsgale, so I can't get white to work, so I don't think this is acceptable unless I found out how or somebody kind enough helped me out. :( ![]() |
