Omnimaga's first Pixel Art Contest is now live - and it will continue to be so for the following two weeks (August 22 - September 5), time in which you may post your sprites in this thread.
The theme of this contest is sprite design (chosen by you in the poll), and the character is a blob. The blob is usually the most common enemy in RPG games, and the easier to draw - as this is the first contest, I thought we'd start off easy.
SPECIFICATIONS
-------------------
You can use up to 4 levels of grayscale (black, dark gray, light gray, white), although monochrome and 3 level are just as welcome.
Your sprite can have a width of 8, 16, or 32 pixels, with a height no longer than 60 pixels.
You may submit as many sprites as you'd like.
Important
------------
Don't forget that the contest ends on September 5, so post your submissions by then!
Also, whether your submission(s) win or lose, you will continue to have exclusive rights on your own work. This contest only showcases Pixel Art.
WINNER
---------
The winner will be chosen by an open poll that will be posted on September 6.
The winner gets to name the subject of the next Omnimaga Pixel Art contest!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget that the goal of this contest is to have fun and interact with the community! You are free to critique each other's work as they go along and post it, but please do not be overly harsh! :thumb:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please post all submissions in The Pixel Art Submissions thread and post all general comments in this news post.
Thank you, and enjoy!
Alex M. is in charge of the contest btw and on a side note:
AND PPL SAID GOOGLE ADS WERE ACCURATE  |

| Uh... anyways, after seeing Arcane Wizard's blob, I can't compete. I can't wait to see Necro's or the Cheat's, however (hopefully they enter) |

Sitll lot of ppl might enter...

Ok altough thats kinda off the RPG world it might have some connection with them anyway, here is the next pixel art contest:
Welcome to Omnimaga's second Pixel Art Contest. The first one went very well, and we've got lots of great submissions. I'm sure that this one will be no different.
Theme
The theme of this contest is sprite design (yep, again). The character is a spaceship. (Think Phoenix, Nemesis, etc., the type used in old arcade space shooting games or kinda like those in RPGs, which are a bit similar)
Specifications
The sprite may be 8, 16, or 32 pixels wide, and up to 60 pixels tall. You can use up to 4-level grayscale. It's safe to use the colours from this contest's banner, this time it is 4-level only )
Feel free to submit as many sprites as you like!
Important
This contest ends on September 26'th, 2 weeks from now.
Winner
Since I doubt any of us got any richer since the last contest, the prize will be the same as the last one: The winner gets to pick the next contest's theme & topic!
Post your submissions in this topic.
Enjoy and have fun! :woot:

| I think I'm actually going to enter this one (no I don't consider myself an expert or even above mediocre in sprite design, but after the Basic contest is over I'm going to end up drawing a lot of grayscale spaceships... some practice should be in order) |

its always nice to see other people works :)
Actually I was thinking about letting Guests enter the contest as well, but then it might become hard to retrace them, since the winner decides what will be the next contest so i finally let guest posting disabled and with Drak its better to have guest posting disabled I think :|
now it would be nice if someone else than arti won though

| again, I will say that having it RPG only is unfortunate...out of curiosity, if a side scroller had leveling up and item collection and world map...would it be a "RPG"? |

necro this isnt going to change, Omnimaga will remain a calc RPG download website, like it has been since early 2004. If you want a similar website not only RPG related go to http://tifreakware.calcgames.org . actually the pixel art contest isnt rpg related, unless you are thinking about airships.
if you have a side scroller like that which also hjave a town where you can buy items it could be classified as a RPG |

Congrats to Sir Robin for winning the 2nd pixel art contest! Now next contest is about tree design. More info can be found here: http://s7.invisionfree.com/Omnimaga/index.php?showtopic=946
keep in mind this contest is going to last a whole lot longer than the twoi previous ones because Alex is very busy atm and cant manage them until christmas time. Since I am also busy this contest will last two months instead of two weeks. Read the rules and feel free to submit as many entries as you want |
