"Mantra Patrol"

[yakov]

Nice with all pretty ships. Nicer even to let 'em out as a free resource. Great contribution.
slight Ship A: 3rd
pugger starship Fighter: 2nd
Ifritt: Multi-Purpose Pod 1st

[PRadvan]

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I honestly didn't expect anyone to vote for my ships after I've seen all the great entries.

3rd place:
Dominicaninja...
"Red Fighter"
Also a very detailed and cool looking fighter. I like the colors.

2nd place:
McLelun...
(no name given)
So clean and so simple. Great entry. I was debating wether to give this one 1st place or Ifritt's ship. I picked Ifritt's as first because it's just a little more detailed.

1st place:
Ifritt...
"Multipurpose Utili-Pod"
This is a really original entry. I really like it. Exellent example of pixel art


Honorable Mention:
EgoAnt...
"Crimson Mercury SE-C"
This ship looks fast and cool. I like it. It also looks like it belongs in a retro pixel game.

I really like Slight's ships but I didn't vote for them because I don't consider them pixel art.

According to wiki and other pixel artists, they're not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_art

He's an amazing artist but, I'm sorry, his ships are just not pixel art.

"Devourer Class Heavy Fighter" is also more than 100x100 pixels along with some other submited ships.

Adi4X's "Greenpower 709" & "DeathShipX" aren't even close to pixel art. He did a lot better with his latter entires.

Sorry to be a party pooper but I needed to point these things out.

Many of the ships are great so congrats to all!

It was a bit diff. to choose but here u have my top 3
1) Slight: "Scorpion Class Fighter" >>> BEST GRAPHICS (pixel Art?)
2) PRadvan: "Enemy Heavy Assault Fighter" >>> BEST DETAILS
3) Ifritt..."Parabolade 3030" >>>

[milked]

1st Slight, ship a - well liked all of hes ships very nicely drawn

2nd Tonypa, torpedo 2 - very original like the colours

3rd McLelun, no name given - very simpel and clean

So, congratulations to Slight. The winner of the first pixel art comp. Here's your prize, (should you choose to display it not, its up to you!...Whoever wins the next one, the avatar gets passed on to!)...

You get to choose the next 'topic' for Pixel Art Game Sprite Comp 2...A few suggestions, (heroes, cars, buildings...)

(Maybe someone can add this as a sticky topic for future reference, so it doesn't get lost in the boards???)

[SaphuA]

Hey,
I'd first like to congratulate to the winners Good work..

Even though I agree that Slight get's a first place, I don't think he should get a second place aswell. I think it's quite unfair for the other people competing. We could make a little rule that you can post more than one entries, and that people can vote for all of your entries, but that they can only vote for one entry per person (and that will offcourse be what they think is his best). Just to keep things fair. So you'll actualy be voting per person instead of per entry. This will still give people who submit more a bigger chance, because you'll always have more chance that people will like your stuff.

About the entries; it might be a good idea if everyone kept posting his entries in 1 post to keep things neat and well-sorted. This is also so that voters won't have to search the whole thread for ships of that person. Not trying to be *****ing here Just trying to keep the competition as fun as possible

[alillm]

I agree. Either all the votes for one persons ships should be added togeather, or people vote for a persons ships as a group (so entering a bad ship as well as a good one would have lowered your chances). At the moment, sombody could just enter 10 really good ships, and get 1st to 10th place .

Congrats to the winners, and everyone else too

Ali

[pointguard]

Yup, great...good ideas.
Everyone keep them in mind for the next comp...

How about then that anyone who enters, gets one post in the thread. Then they can edit their post, with however many entries they want!...Obviously editing can last up until the last day of the comp, before voting starts.

Enjoyed that comp so much, looking forward to entering in the next one...Maybe we should shorten it even more? (10 days of designing, 4 days of voting???)

[slight]

Wowzers!

Thanks and congrats to pointguard and everyone who participated for making a great and fun competition, not to mention the cool, free resource we've made for others to use.

I agree that there should be maybe a different scoring system, and also I wont wear the badge of honor because there is some question as to whether or not my entries were really "pixel art".

For the next comp, to continue the theme (and to pick something I suck at ) my suggestion is "explosions" These could be animated, or not... What do you think?

[tonypa]

Maybe we should shorten it even more? (10 days of designing, 4 days of voting???)

Yes, I think people lost interest in it as the time went by.

Grats to winners and thanks for everyone taking part.

Special thanks to pointguard for creating the competition, good job

[thehumanchimp]

Congrats everyone. I may actually try in the next comp...depending on what the subject is.

[alillm]

I will enter the next one too probably, im not great at pixel art though, vector is my strength (vector comp anyone )

Ali

[SaphuA]

Sooooooooooo! Slight! What'll be the next subject? And when will the new competion start/end?

[alillm]

For the next comp, to continue the theme (and to pick something I suck at ) my suggestion is "explosions" These could be animated, or not... What do you think?

[UnknownGuy]

Great job everyone, and congrats to the winners.

For the whole explosion idea, I would think the explosions would have to be animated, still explosion shots are no fun.

Congrats again all!
