So as the title says, we are hosting a spriteing contest. The goal is to Modify the Zelos Battle Sprites from the Tales Of seires into our own beloved KYM Tan.
There will also be a reward for the best KYM-Tan overworld Sprites, using this as the base.
The winner will have their sprites be used in the KYM RPG and will have a guaranteed position in the game as a NPC. (And bragging rights.)
The contest closes on March the 6th.
If you have any questions please post below.

I do believe this should say, Un-official KYM Spriting Contest…

Im confused, but I am the person in charge of building the game engine for the KYM RPG, so I don't see why it shouled be Unofficial.

Featuring this thread so as to gain more traction from willing artists.

I wanna see some awesome results, people!

I'd love to but I'm a sub par Spriter, most of my works end up looking like early Snes era.

I did some custom pokemon sprites a while ago (before my hardrive went bust and I lost them all). I might try.

My loss is guaranteed, but I will try anyways.

Also, inb4 challenge accepted guy.

Obligatory, I can't actually sprite. :/ I NO IS ARTIST.

Let's face it, this pun was going to be made sooner or later.

I'm glad to see everyone is enthusiastic about this!

@ Vlad:

I guess I could attempt to sprite too. And guarantee failure.

Oh, I forgot to mention. The contest closes at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard time on the 6th, all submissions must be in by then.

Bumps before this get's lost to the second page
One Week till contest closes!

Where do we submit the entries?

i'm a bit relieved. I couldn't sprite 'cause my spriteing skills are teh suck.

Upload it to the internet and link/embbed me to it from this page.

AND ONE MORE THING!

Make sure your submission is in the PNG file format. I can't use JPG in Game Maker.

Ah, I have had some experience in spriting. I'll give this a shot.

lol awesome jackie chan reference

4 More Days people!

We should also do a cutscene contest.

That will probably have to come later, after we compleated all the character art.

I would do it, but I'm lazy and I've never done official sprites before.

unless it's just drawing with the pencil, which I do a lot of.

That actually looks pretty good! Perhaps you can join when we start a character talking portrait contest.

I have been animating mouths lately, why not?

Two more days!

Remember to post the sprites, me and 200 guys really would like to see some art for the game.

Of course, it's just I haven't gotten any sprites yet. >.<

Wait… who's the 200 guys?

I've been practicing with characters in my 3d animation so I could do a cutscene but I don't think that the game maker could use the massive 300MB per 10 second file size of the videos unless I cut down on the quality. The files are .avi btw.

O.O
=.=
O.O
Dude. Thats fucking HUGE! (Thats what she said!)
It definatly will have to be shunk down before we can do anything with it. Ill look up what need's to be done and post it on the other thread.

Contest closes tonight at midnight!
Even if you arn't done please post what you have!

Here's a demo of the kinds of things that I can do right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzZNip-RI7o

I can simply resave files in movie maker so that 10 seconds would be 3MB instead of 300MB. The quality difference is so little that you can't tell without a trained eye.

CONTEST CLOSES IN 4 HOURS!

I would have gotten WAY more done if I didn't stay up until 1:00 every day last week to do school projects.

You didn't save in the PGN file format, and now it's all blurry. .

You mean .PNG, Nats.

Dyslexia FTW.

Well I did, but I just don't know where to upload it so it stays in .PNG format.

Upload it to KYM Images, and link it to the photo page.

I don't think Nats is gonna enforce the deadline, so take your time if absolutely necessary.

Yea, Ill be flexable to the only person who submitted something.

And if the intrest level is high enough Ill increase the deadline.

I did not know I could do that.

If I find the time for it, I think I'd like to take a crack at doing the Overworld version even though I've never sprited before. I just think it would be an interesting artistic exercise in case I ever do anything like it in the future. But, since I'm newbtastic to this field of art, I'm skeptical of my skills.

Here's the first (and so far, the only one) I've done using one of the walking sprites as an example of how it might turn out (stealing Tht Gy's colors for consistency, lol):

That actually looks good! I wouled like to see the full sheet! :D

You are going to have to draw hair in front of her ears though.

Alrighty, I hope I got all the female sprite bases covered.

Finished piece is right here:

Will this work?

Is blasted backward out of window by pure awsomeness
Pulls glass out of back and climbs back up into room

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whipes blood away from nose This definatly will work!

Still stareing at the pixel work in awe

I think I can die happy now. xD

Allright, I definatly know what to do with THIS. Expect an overworld demo sometime soon.
