Sprite off

[Ben]

even if 16 werent enough, 32 would be.

There is no need for that many colours in a tiny 2k3 spriteset. Its overboard.

I think the definition of PIXEL ART and its restriction should be defined before people go trigger happy with photoshop effects

[Prpl_Mage]

We can have many different sprite off's.
We can start one with templates.
And then start a new one from scratch afterwards. There are no restriction, we can do both - only at different times.

What're the prizes?

[Dragoon de Sol]

Those're terrible prizes. I'm out.

[Dragoon de Sol]

No, and I don't know. You all are the ones working on the contest.

[Darkfox]

16 colors hm? Perhaps... I don't think I use more than that currently. My last one was only around 5 or 6.

[Darkfox]

Is that the maximum, or has to be?

[Archem]

Maximum. At least 2 colors. With less than that, its just a plan BG

I could prove that wrong if I weren't such a lazy bastard.

[Darkfox]

What of different shades of gray? Those would not be unique colors.

[Archem]

Transparency counts as a color, so 1 color = empty BG

That's not a color! That's an absence of color! Don't lie to me and try to pass it off as truth!

[Uberpwn_w00t]

So we're going to be limited to charasets or something? I kinda liked the way we did the last sprite-off, where you were given a theme, there was a few restrictions, and you could just take it from there.

[Fisherson]

16 should be enough.
...
I'm not a spriter or anything, but 250 is kind of overboard for a charset/battler/whatever the hell you guys are doing.

Sorry I've been having to reduce everything that goes into the Chain Game to 256 other wise it won't work for it so I just said 250 because it was all I could think of.

And what else could we have

I have to admit I can't think of a better prize. Though maybe we should actually MAKE some awards for this. Like as in make them our selves. Maybe have a thread with the winner displayed in sprite style, like my pic in the Charas User Resource page.

[Darkfox]

You can only have 16 shades of gray if the max color number is 16 and you to want use only grays o_O

I was just joking in Archem's argument.

[Dragoon de Sol]

Seriously, you should really do all of this consideration prior to posting about the contest.

[Darkfox]

Indeed. Can't agree more.
