YOU HAVE 2 WEEKS to make your entry. Entries will be due FRIDAY June 18th.
Week #51's theme is .....
" Trumpets sound "
8 bit week
(favorite characters in 8 bit)
This is kind of a cool idea that I think will be fun & everyone should be able to join in. I have seen other members in the past enter 8 bit sprites into the comp. One of them won third place one week :thumbsup: Make your favorite character in 8 bit graphics. So head on over to Dr Schnapp's & get yourself an 8 bit sprite sheet to start some editing.
Hopefully Spidermew or someone will help out & post some sites to get many 8 bit sprite sheets.
Anyway there you have it , good luck to you all . Same deal as before, PM me your submissions . I will not accept sprites that are just palette swaps . You will actually have to do some alterations to the sprites or make them using a different base than they are .
You have until Friday June 18th at midnight to enter your submissions

The good ol' days week (spriting favorite characters as kids)
The winner picked the theme & going with the flow of his entry he chose something.
I'm a little confused by this part of the post.

My bad.....lol
I always copy & paste all the theme suggestions into the thread, decide & then delete the ones I didn't use. I must of left that in there by mistake because at the same time I was PMing a member about some problems with the forum.
The theme definitely is 8 bit

Looks like we're going to have to compromise all shading, so get creative :)

This is a pretty cool theme. To clarify, is it an entire scene or....are we just limited to one character? Like if someone wanted to sprite the entire roster of a game or something...
Also, can someone define 8-bit? Are there colour limitations if there's more than one character?

Sure sprite as many characters as you want. Make an entire scene if you want. But if a background is involved, it does have to be sprited by you.

I forgot to ask one question. Do I need to create an 8-bit char in a spritesheet or just a sprite?Just a single sprite.

I have never made a 8 bit sprite before...but maybe I'll try to mimick somethink like...http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/525514 (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/525514) from newgrounds.
Well now you cant. Because if you do, people will know what you did cuz you announced it here.

It was more of a joke-but I don't know if I'm capable of spriting a 8 bit sprite...so I'll just sit this one out.

How's that? How come you can't do an 8-bit sprite?For several reasons actually: Right now I'm taking summer classes at my College and I'm writing a paper for English. I just don't know if I have the luxury to sprite a 8bit sprite that I'm confident will look exactly like the character I'm trying to create.
...But if I do join it will be a surprise.

*sigh* Finals bogged me down these past two weeks. I couldn't enter! :'(Neither did I.. I had a final project to work on but hopefully the turn out is still good, and if not we'll wait until the next one.. I know these past 2 weeks were prepping for finals though I'm sure some people goofed off and took a break.. made some sprites... hopefully.. haha...
