it was really hard for me to say. the only outstanding ones i saw were devy's and kevins; and both are great. the thing is, devy's doesnt really seem to be put into any specific style, while kevins does. so i have to say kevin gets my vote.

Anyways, I'm not to sure, I'm not really digging any of them.

It's still soooo heavily edited that most people don't even see it.
Title: Re: FINALS MATCH
Post by: Kren on May 07, 2007, 07:46:19 pm
most of the face and the skull are the same, so yeah it's really easy to guess that it's an edit.

I can only see the skull being non-edited...

Edit:
I compared the two in paint and I found VERY little traces of editing. Just a few pixels. It's that or im blind.

I only used bits of the face, and the ammy
the rest I made customly.

no offense; they are good edits in general. The problem really isn't with your spriting itself, but I would have to say you do not meet a rather black and white criteria; you have only one view. You must have an up, down, left and right view. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe that was a requirement. That would really suck for you to be disqualified, but nonetheless, it would not be fair to the others who not only met the requirements, but also involved a lot more custom spriting than your sprite.

I am surprised that this has gone through without any comment. Perhaps I have missed something, and this was explicitly allowed due to the low number of entries. But your sprite should still stand or fall based on the effort put into the sprite. Now you may have worked hard, but not even an attempt at other views seems kind of lazy, in my opinion.

Yeah, I was just thinking that same thing.

I was going to end the competition since I feel ill, but due to the tie for First, I'll leave polls up until Midnight.

well its not lazyniss its time. I didn't have time at all since I am working very hard on my game.
and In my game I use alot of custom tiles, or remixed tiles. wich makes it alot harder to produce.
so I didn't have the time to finish it,or else I would of edited the head, and make left right, up version, I think I'll do them when I have time and the comp's over.

First off, I want to say that I feel completely retarded for having forgotten about this until the last minute.  I feel that I, and anyone else who failed to submit their entry, should be automatically banned from the next official ZFGC contest.  Maybe even the next few contests.

Now that I have that out of the way, I'm going to say that I think imfletcher should take first.  It's a few hours past midnight and it's still a tie...imfletcher followed the rules completely while Kevin-1990 only sort of did.  I can understand being busy, I didn't end up submitting anything at all so I can't really talk.  But still, fair is fair.

Another option would be of course to do a tie breaker between the two, but it sounds like you want this to be over with.

(Again, sorry I wasted a slot Tara.  My bad entirely.)

Same here... I had very problems thinking on what to do (and then that awful result >_>) mainly because of that rule, and then, it is avoided... :S

That would be a cool sprite, definitely in a game, Kevin. What game are you working on? Is it on here? I'll look it up... anyway... I busted mine out in about an hour, a half one day, and the other half the next. We all only have 24 hours in a day, so I can see where you're coming from. I personally voted for Ricky. That was a bomb diggidy sprite! lol. It's tough for me also with getting all the paper work done for college and for financial aid, and finals and projects due.

Honestly, were these the only "good" ones that were entered to be in the finals? I personally think they're not the "best" looking sprites i've seen...  :-\

Oh Ferret, thank you for this opportunity, and, are you better? :)
Anyways, I can't accept the price, pretty much like Bboy, and forgot to tell >_>, so, umm, what am I supposed to do now? :P
Edit: Oh, and, congratulations, imfletcher. :D

I vote kevin. There's just something about those sprites I like.

Post by: Sir Cyrus on May 22, 2007, 07:26:39 pm
Ricky came last?!
Gah, it wasn't perfect, but his sprite was the best. Shame we're calling editing ALttP sprites better than original GB sprites. It's like you guys were judging the style, not the sprite :<
Title: Re: FINALS MATCH
Post by: Hyrule_SwordsMan on May 26, 2007, 10:32:06 pm
I think that the best is shadow-of-a-hero's
