Title: Holiday Event: Spriting Competition
Post by: Hyperhal on December 20, 2006, 01:25:42 pm: Seeing as how the holidays are near, we the staff at zfgc feel we should supply the user-base with some nice, fun activities to keep you occupied while your waiting for the holiday headache to go away.

This event is indeed a spriting competition, but one like none other.

Your task, if you choose to enter, is to make a sprite sheet of your favorite LoZ character, in something festive. This could be Santa Link, Jesus Goron, or even Zelda as one of santa's elfs. Its all up to you, the creator of your sheet. Any style is fine, and you can get as creative as you want. There are a couple guidelines you need to follow though, so please read them over before you start.

1) The sheet must contain a walking animation for up, down, left, right, and one attacking animation. Any extra animations will be considered bonus points.
2) Must be a festive/holiday theme to the character.
3) Any style is fine.
4) Must not have been entered in any competitions besides this one.
5) You have until christmas to finish your character.

We are accepting applications now, and will start the competition when we recieve at least 10 entrants. Newbies and pros are all welcome, for we don't take your level of expertise as an immediate winner. We crave creativity in this contest, and thats what we want to get!

Post by: Hyperhal on December 21, 2006, 04:24:39 am: Anything you want.

Its your creativity that counts, although I'd like to see SOMETHING original in your submission.

Post by: Obsequious Eye on December 22, 2006, 07:41:38 pm: Mine's finished.
Should I post it? Or has the competition not started yet?

Post by: Hyperhal on December 23, 2006, 05:41:58 am: Its starting now, because I'm entering and I'm tired of waiting for 10 people.

You guys have until Tuesday to make your sheets. God speed, and I seriously need some luck for this. >_>

Post by: Hyperhal on December 28, 2006, 03:41:17 pm: Eh, I'm not even gonna post the sprite I was working with, so I guess he DOES win by default.

Man, I'm kinda dissapointed in this comp, but whutever. Whoever participated, I'm sure you guys worked somewhat hard. >_>
