Dragoncat Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well...it is kinda hard to make a mecha FE styled. Idk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 really as long as it conforms to 16 colors with that dark grey outline whocares also it's incredibly unfair to even talk about DQ based on a goddamn WIP let the man finish at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fomortiis and the Fire Dragon look very different from the human classes, because, by nature of their size, there's more room for detail. 35 pixels means good luck fitting in a head and a body, but 150 pixels gives you a lot of room for little things. Doesn't make it any less FE style. By the nature of the contest's concept, crossover = not quite FE style anyway why am i defending myself to the person who put a pokemon into fire emblem style anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) You have a problem with FE-styled Pokemon sprites? But fine, we can wait until the finished product shows up. If it doesn't end up being close enough to the FE style, it shouldn't be allowed, that's really all I can say. It was fair enough that my entry for the last contest got rejected, so I don't want to see someone else's entry be allowed in despite breaking a rule. That wouldn't be fair, would it?

ErrantDShepherd Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) ...meant to reply instead of buggering the original post. XD ...anyways. THEME/TOPIC: "Crossover Chaos" sprite a pre-existing non-Fire Emblem video-game character in Fire Emblem style. -either translated into the style itself, or reimagined/redesigned into a Fire Emblem class type. (Examples: Link in FE style, Sonic the Mercenary Hedgehog... etc... Have fun with it! :D ) ---- REMINDER: entry must NOT be a character from Fire Emblem ------ Rules of the competition for your reference. [spoiler=Rules] RULES: 1) only 1 entry per contestant, either in the Full Custom division or in the Splice/Edit division. -Please declare which division you fall under to avoid potential confusion. 2) No voting for your own entry! 3) Entries should be limited to 16 colors.(15 colors+ 1 background color) This is more of a guideline, but good to follow for style and challenge reasons. Colors may be custom or using GBA sprite palletes. 4) No posting previous/old works! This means no edits/recolors of something previously made as well. -allowing previous/old works would give an unfair advantage to certain entries, two weeks is a good amount of time to work on an entry... how fair would it be to have to go up against something someone spent months or even a year on? -creating brand new works, encourages creativity and artistic growth and development, kinda what the whole art forums are about... isn't it? ---- Any further questions or concerns can be PMed to the current host!(That's me Errant, currently) ...or posted either in the feedback thread or within this thread itself. Hope you all enjoy and have some fun! Lets get spriting! :D ...can you show me in the rules where it says entries will be disqualified if not matching FE style enough? The idea is to TRY to match Fire Emblem style....how much a sprite matches up is up to the voters, unless something seems distinctly out there, like not 16bit or going into 8bit or something Paintingesque. In which case, I will inform the entrant personally. Thanks. :| ...so Ana, worry about your own sprite. ESPECIALLY as MercLord's entry isn't even finished yet... Unless you seriously want me to open up that can of worms of judging how much things fit FE style... you may not like that judging so much. :\ Edited March 22, 2015 by TheErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErrantDShepherd Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) NP, hope it was helpful. Debating splitting this into Best Still sprite and Best Animated sprite categories if we get enough animated entries. Thoughts? :0 I'd say split animations into their own category, yeah... BTW anyone else thinking we should make animations and stills our two divisions this time around? Would like more feedback on this. :o) Edited March 22, 2015 by TheErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Lord Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Could do the first frame of each animation along with the stills in one category, then have the animations compete on their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Lion Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Wait, why'd I get called out? Ornstein and Smough are giants... That's why they're bigger and have more detail...

Thor Odinson Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If there is enough animated entries to warrant its own category, I've no objections either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you seriously want me to open up that can of worms of judging how much things fit FE style... you may not like that judging so much. :\ Your rules say "in Fire Emblem style." Not "close to it " or "try to make it FE style." I'm just trying to be fair here. And I feel Mercenary Lord's entry might (keyword MIGHT) be breaking this rule. But like I said, we can wait until he finishes it. If how much a sprite matches is up to the voters, well, I'm going to be a voter. So I get a say according to that logic. If Mercenary Lord's sprite breaks the rules, it should be disqualified. I'm not going to be okay with being disqualified from the last contest for breaking a rule and someone else not being disqualified when they break a rule.

Seriously, why do people keep having a problem with my views around here? All I'm trying to do is help keep things fair. Don't make me feel like I'm being targeted again.

Toa Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'd say matching style can be pretty objective, the rule you broke doesn't really have much room for interpretation, though you tried really hard to twist it in your favor. You really need to just let Errant run the comp, it seems every entry that's even a little different you start complaining for it to be DQ'd. It's getting pretty annoying.

Anacybele Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 What? I don't recall complaining about any entry except for Mercenary Lord's and that one animated one. And I'm not complaining about the latter anymore, I decided I was wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Seriously, why do people keep having a problem with my views around here? All I'm trying to do is help keep things fair. Don't make me feel like I'm being targeted again. Woah pro victim playing! Your view is wrong, and people have a problem with wrong views, so they're targeting you for being wrong, not you as a person. What? I don't recall complaining about any entry except for Mercenary Lord's and that one animated one. And I'm not complaining about the latter anymore, I decided I was wrong there. Two complaints too many. I think it would have been best if you PM'd the thread creator rather than post about it in the topic, and I think it would be best if you take it to PMs with Errant on this matter too. Mentioning in the thread may offend the person you're targeting, and that only leads to misunderstandings.

Anacybele Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 But it's not wrong this time. And I said don't make me feel like I'm being targeted, not that I DO feel like I'm being targeted. Fair point about PMing though, you're right. Nobody wants anymore drama around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 the person who made the rules said you're wrong your interpretation of the rules is invalid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
