Charas Sprite Off 2 - Round 3

[forgetaboutit]

• The theme for this round is: CHARAS MASCOT. This can be anything from Sarah C. to Naked Template Dude, to an admin, to a creation of your own that fits charas.
• When you are finished with your entry, you must pm it to me by Thursday, July 23th, 12AM, Charas Time. That's a week.
• Don't know how to upload it? Use imageshack or photobucket.
• Your sprite must be made specifically for this challenge. No previous made sprites may be used
• If entries are sent before the deadline, I ll make the voting thread earlier.

Restrictions for this round
Size limits: Minimum of 30x30 (that means you cannot leave any transparent space if you decide to go with that size), max of 150x150.
Max number of colors: 4 from this pallete: , plus transparency, thats 5 colors.
Background must be transparent. A good idea is to make a sprite that matches our blue background, yet wont blend in too much making it hard to see. I added that ball in there because I was bored, and wanted to see if the palette was usable. With some effort, I am sure you guys can make something nice.
Templates of any sort may not be used.
The image must be saved as .png.

Earlier, I was going to joke that next round you'd be like, "Four colors! 12 hours! GO!" I didn't think you'd actually go through with the color part.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Cool cool.

The only thing I sort of dont understand is

Minimum of 30x30 (that means you cannot leave any transparent space if you decide to go with that size)

does that mean 30x30 must have no trans.?


Also I have the different theme for charas (the default there was for the original board installed)

[Rahl]

Wow thats a little too harsh dont you think?

[fruckert]

4 colors?
Wow...best of luck to you guys o.O

[Darkfox]

Good lord... 4 colors... that's as basic as you can get... that's like... NES, well, given that the transparency was the 4th color. O_o

[Emerates]

Actually, my foxy forum friend, that would be about three generations back from NES.  Even Atari has more colors than that.

Actually, 4 colors is around the era of NES. Most sprites are only comprised of 3 colors, the 4th color being the transparency. There can be another palette used on one sprite for each block (say the head of Mario could be a different palette from his body), however.

[Darkfox]

Hm, a few interesting pieces. But I have to run through several pages to hit anything REALLY interesting.

Edit: Yes, I ran through all 21 pages.

[Cerebus]

Only shades of red?
You're looking for Virtual Boy style sprites?

[Ben]

low colour pallettes are pretty much the best excercize for you nerd musscle ever.
My best work was done in 2.
Im going to put my money on val for this one.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Is not that hard to do really. If anything it helps speeding up the process instead of having to use more color. I am having a more difficult time trying to know WHAT to draw. I got no idea what a charas mascot would be beside the naked dude; All it comes to my head, character wise, is an intergalactic blob with a lot of the memberss faces in it's belly and Alex's ponytail.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

If nothing else in this contest has pushed your creative limit, this sure as hell will. Good luck you two.

[Valiere]

Im going to put my money on val for this one.

Then you best get ready to lose that money, 'cuz so far I got nothin.

I think my best strategy is to just start on this and see where it takes me.

You guys should base them off of me! :3
