Toa Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I guess I'm running BBSS now. Sorry it took so long to post this, I was abroad after posting the first thread so I didn't have time to make the actual comp thread. --- THEME/TOPIC: Sprite a monster or beast! Remember, a monster could be anything from a Vampire or Zombie to an Eldritch Abomination! Example: --- [spoiler=Rules] RULES:1) only 1 entry per contestant, either in the Full Custom division or in the Splice/Edit division.(Animated may be a division if enough entries are in to justify it)-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. 5) 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? [spoiler=NEW Voting and Winners] VOTING:Voting will be split into two categories.-Best in Theme-Best Overall Battle Sprite >Voting will run for 3 days If there are a large amount of entries, Best in Theme will be divided into smaller categories based on whether an entry is custom, splice, or animation. WINNERS:Winning placement will be decided by total number of votes across categories.>The winner gets to choose two potential themes either from a list or of their own imagination. >The winner and runner ups will vote upon the themes to select one. >The winner gets two votes in addition to theme selection. >Second place gets two votes. >Third place gets one vote. >Whatever theme wins the winner's votes will be used for the next competition. Note, votes can be split, if you have two votes they do NOT need to go to the same theme. [spoiler=list of sample themes] Avatar Adventures! Sprite your avatar. Man/Woman in the Mirror! Sprite Yourself! (proof optional) The Monster Mash! Sprite a Monster! The Great Gender Swap! Sprite a pre-existing character/class as the opposite gender! Baby Blues... Make a child/offspring of two pre-existing characters! The Reclassifieds... sprite a pre-existing character in a new class. Shades of the Emblem: Sprite a non GBA era character/class/creature. Heroes reimagined! Sprite a character/class/creature in a new way/design. Crossover Chaos! Sprite a pre-existing video game character in Fire Emblem style. Legends of Literature! Sprite a character from a book/movie/anime/television series The OC... sprite an original character! Pimp My Mount! Make a mounted unit Welcome to the Jungle! Animal spriting competition, no humans allowed. Modern Day Mayhem! Sprite a more modern day equivalent/design of a class. Mythological Madness: Sprite a mythological creature Legendary weapons: Sprite a character with a legendary weapon, of your own creation or preexisting. Terrors of the deep: Create an underwater creature, unit, or machine Death from above: Sprite a flying creature, unit, or machine. Heroes of the smoky skies: Steampunkify a class, character, or machine. Superheroes! Sprite a superhero, existing, or of your own design. R&D: Create a new class! Anthropomorphized: Sprite an anthro The Zodiac: Sprite a part of the zodiac History’s greatest! Sprite a unit or class from history End of the Line: Sprite a final boss-type character --- Any further questions or concerns can be PMed to the current host! (Toa) ...or posted either in the feedback thread or within this thread itself. DEADLINE: Entries may be posted, and edited up until 11:59pm PST Monday, August 31. EXTENDED to Saturday, Septemper 5. Hope the rebirth of the BBSS is a success! I'm counting on your entries! Edited August 31, 2015 by Toa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarknessAwaits Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Do these sprites have to be a complete animation or just a standing still sprite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Stills are perfectly acceptable, in fact they're the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarknessAwaits Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Got it! Here is my submission: a "corrupted sage" sprite. Let's hope it doesn't suck so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Any chance for an extension? ...a tree literally crushed my car yesterday, kinda have had to deal with that fun as opposed to being able to sprite. :\ Edited August 30, 2015 by TheErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm up for an extension i haven't started yet. How about until the end of the week? I'm thinking Saturday so you get the beginning of the weekend. And wow, that really sucks about your car : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Well, I had to deal with my brother having committed suicide on the 15th, and I was the one that found his...body, so I never even noticed this until now. I'd love to enter this since there's an idea I can do for it, but I'm not sure I can complete it in time... Everything regarding my brother's death is over though, and my family and I are slowly healing, so my concerns don't have anything to do with that. I'm just not sure at all how long this sprite would take. Edited August 31, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Wow... Holy shit Ana, that is crazy. Sorry for your loss. :( I'd say you know... Don't worry too much about making the comp, unless you find it helpful to take your mind off things. :\ BTW, thanks Toa. Luckily insurance people have been actually helpful with it. Car is a write off, but rental is covered for a couple weeks... So could be a lot worse, least no one was in it. :S Saturday sounds good to me.

Anacybele Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You didn't know? I figured just about everyone here saw the thread I made in Serious Discussion. But then again, some drama erupted there too, so maybe it was better off avoided... Oh well, I'm feeling much better than I was before that thread got locked, and yes, going back to my games and stuff is helping me too. I mean, one reason I play games is to "escape" from real life for a little while and take my mind off things. My art and writing let me do the same. I'm sorry about your car though, it sucks when stuff like that happens. But incidents like these are also what insurance is for, so it's good that you have that. And yeah, good that no one was in it. Even if someone was driving it and survived, more problems could've arisen from that. One time, right after my brother had been born, my mom and I had taken him on his first outing, and we got rear-ended on the way home. It turned out that the truck that hit us was a rental in a man's name, but his wife was driving it at the time and she used a different insurance company than her husband. And since the person who did the rear-ending is required by law to have their company pay for the damage, of course there was drama over which company would be paying for ours. So yeah...make sure everyone that drives your car uses the same insurance company. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErrantDShepherd Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Ah balls... Appreciate the extension, but with sorting out car stuff haven't had any time. :\ Looks like some good entries though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Yeah, and I just haven't felt like spriting... Well, I kinda have, actually, just... I'm not sure I feel like spriting a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
