It didn\'t work. The fact is, I lost half of the megamanZero movie I am making by entering that site. I think there might me something wrong with the file, couse the site clicked allmost crashing my compuer.

Now I have to animate that long shooting sequence AGAIN!:madgo:

Sad as it my be, I don\'t think I\'ll be able to post it, unless somebody hase some kind of master plan up their sleeve.

I can host it on my site if you want,but it will only be for the contest then it will have to be deleted....

I finally was able to post it thanks to the efforts of many members. Thank you.

I don\'t know how the lnk works yet, but I think you can use it. It goes slow the first time, but after you load it, it should work perfectly.

The idea was simply to animate the spritesheets I made and show how the attacks work, I am sorry I used the same background as Blademan.exe, but it was the only one avaleble at the time, it was simply a coincedence that he used the same. The gif was finished within the time limit, so it should be valid still....

Enjoy:)

Sorry for double posting, but the topic is not showing that it has been updated, so I simply posted again to activate it. As you see, I have now been able to post the movie thanks to flash.

for this post not to be a total waste, I will post this little animation of zero. This is not a submission, or something I have been working on for a long time, I made this in 5 minutes, ONLY to make up for the double posting

Like I say, enjoy:)

Ok the winner is...




















SNAKEMAN.EXE, he will now share the title with one of the most respected spriting Masters, Master_Tiger ^^P


but, remember, this is my last spriting contest, and I have to pass to microphone on.

The new host (if he agrees) will be...







MASTER TIGER!!!!


congratulations all!!! I will have your prize ready soon.

I won?!!:eek:

I guess I should be thanking someone then....... but I\'m not good at thank you peeches, so i\'ll say just that: thank you, to all. I guess the emportant thing is that people enjoyed my work....

did that do?:lol:

Congrats Snakeman.exe, I have finaly been bested :D. but i must know, did you draw that and scan it, or do it Pixil by Pixil?

[Edited on 19-2-2004 by Master_Tiger]

The former best always makes the best critic of the new best, but I still can\'t believe someone beat Master Tiger! Congrats to SnakeMan on beating the best.

MT won because of the lack of entries, however his sprites were awsome

Whoa, wait, I won? :conf: How? that zero animation was way better than my buu.exe one

oh ok, i was about to say...

Since Burritor likes to end his contest with a curious result, I would like to give some C&C to all of the entries.

Shin_Zero:

Overall it is a nice sprite, the shading is fairly nice and the physical appearance of it does not look awkward or anything. The only problem that I can see is that it lacks is mainly in the animation section. It has the basics of an animation although it lacks the flowing rate of a smooth animation. Another thing I noticed is that the hat it is wearing has a large amount of dithering compared to the rest of the sprite. Instead of using dithering here a new color could have been substituted. Also in the hat is has a fairly white color in the top right of the hat. It looks somewhat strange there. A darker color should have been placed there instead. Red->Bright White does not match very well. Overall it is a great sprite.

Master_Tiger:

Definitely the best aspect of this sprite is the animation. It is very smooth and flows great. The color palette is excellent as well.

p26.gif

This is an interesting piece. It is nicely put together and is not very busy. My only suggestion is to add a little more color to the hair, although as it is right now its nice.

p27.gif

The animation is not very good since it consists of the sprite moving up and down a couple pixels, although it is a nicely put together sprite. The pants and shoes look good, but the upper body is weird. The pony tail like thing seems to just droop over rather than fall back behind Buu. Also the palette seems slightly strange. The palette of colors for the pink skin is too close together a more differential array of colors would work much better.

BladeMan.EXE:

SonicEXE_3.gif

This is a good splice of Bass and Mega Man, although it should definitely have a little bit of color difference with the blue. It all seems to blend together. A darker and lighter array of blues would definitely spice this guy up.

ProtoStar:

tau.exe.gif

Nice compilation, although the shading is awkward on the upper body and head. It has multiple light sources which do not flow well.

sergeent:

test2.bmp

Nice mold over from Mega Man Zero, definitely a good piece of work. The only thing I have to say about it is that I believe the left foot of him should have a little bit more of a detail. It appears as a slight blob.

Snakeman.EXE:

TengumanEXE.gif

Excellent sprite, it has all good qualities all over. I believe that Snakeman needs to go back to his cage back at Capcom.

AirMan V2.5:

Aimsheet2.jpg

This an interesting piece. It looks as if you resized it and then edited it at a higher level. It has a mix of big “pixels” and normal sized pixels which does not look very good. You seem to have a good start though, but you just need to stay at one pixel size. One other problem is that you saved it as a JPEG with compression enabled. That creates artifacts which make random pixels appear on the sheet. A better format for saving would be a PNG or GIF.

Dhalsim Sheet.jpg

I cannot really see this very well because again you saved it as a JPEG with compression and it nearly plagues the whole file.

OmegaBreaker:

972945.PNG

Excellent sprite, it has great shading and proportions. The only thing that you could use is a little better outline. I have trouble distinguishing what the thing looks like. In the upper body it seems like it all flows together.

Heatman.EXE:

Koubeam.jpg

This looks like it has been plagued by another JPEG compression artifact storm. If it were saved as a GIF or PNG it would definitely have a higher quality in it. To me it looks like a slight shading modification. It is nice for a beginner, although it should have a little bit more modification to be a little more original.

This definitely is a big choice. Snakeman.EXE and sergeent definitely made the best sprites out of the bunch followed up by a great Master_Tiger. I do not think I would be able to pick between the three spriters.

Tenguman.exe? Oh, I just drew him in ms paint in pixel. You don\'t get the same ammount of detail when you use drawings so I never do....



Thank you. Sorry again for using the same stage as your entry, I couldn\'t find any others...



If only it was that simple *shrug*

But really, thanx. I just had some spear time... but it was fun none the less.
also, the other entrys were really good to. I must apolegize to MT for for taking your throne.... but you know what they say, there is always next time:)

Actually, losing just makes me more determined to get better so wait till next time we meet in a sprite contest SM .

Thanks for the advice, Flashman, and for including my lowly sprite in your roster. And congrats to Snake.EXE. Now go to your jar and let amatuers like me practice!
By the way, I heard it mentioned I should save my sprite in a different format. I tried GIF, and it messes with my colors. I\'ll try PNG next time, I guess.

try BMP and just host them on the web and don\'t direct link it to MMPC
