BP FINISH IT!

Gentlemen,

[Image: demon3copy.png]

Chishio-, Blue Phoenix-, and Chuck Norris-approved.

Also, I might need to explain how we went with the sprite. When Chishio saw it, he wanted to do an evil version of Sorcerer. I then had the idea of making an angel-demon-guy, so we went with that concept. The following steps were refining this idea, thus creating the, according to our opinion, best sprite we have ever done so far. The final choice of a weapon was pretty hard, seeing that we had to find something which represents both sides. Initially, we planned on making a double-bladed scythe or axe, even considered two knives. However, after all, we went with the scale, seeing that it represents the contrast between good and evil best. And that's it :)

Sorry that we kinda excluded you guys for a few days, and thanks to our faithful mods who kept playing this little game with us ;)

And here comes the next sprite to modify!

Have fun!


RE: Sprite Game - Chishio - 06-22-2010

Thank you all for bearing with BP and I for the past day, I hope some of you enjoyed the little show. Other's who might be maddened by this little display, I am deeply sorry, but I hope BP's or my following explanation shall suffice.

I would like to add on a little bit to what BP has said. My basic goal for this was not to set or standard but to more so show the ability to collaborate between two completely different styles, minds, and people in general. The process in which a great sprite is created is usually a difficult one, but in my opinion, the collaboration between multiple people is even of greater difficulty. With BP in tow, we set out to demonstrate this collaboration, BP as a pro photoshop user and and a creative mind and myself with my basic spriting skills. Together, I think we were able to accomplish what is usually not possible, a really well defined and above average sprite, which as he said was probably the best we have ever done.

I have seen a bit of agitation with people fighting over sprites and saying that they are going the wrong way. Well I am sorry to say, but other's have great input, BP constantly threw in amazing ideas, my favorite one being the scale, which in my opinion was the final touch to the sprite which completely demonstrated the concept.

Any one person can have a great idea, but it takes more than one person to refine that idea and make it a truly extraordinary thing. Cooperate everyone and enjoy yourselves here, that is the entire point of this little game. I myself will sit the next few sprites to give all other spriters and artists more chances to join in on the fun.

Daily I deal with things like this, especially over the robotics build season in which I participate with. It is important to realize that other people have equal if not better ideas than yours. There is no such thing as a bad idea, perhaps it might not be the right direction at the moment, but keep that idea in mind for later you never know when you might need it. I for example had a Eureka moment today due to one of these 'dumb ideas' that was completely unrelated to the moment back then, but now, gosh I think I can establish quite a treat for a future robot if the situation requires it. You are never to good to learn from someone else so take any other ideas with a grain of salt, adapt to the situation and improve upon it.

Also, for those who add on random things, this is usually ok at the beginning, it establishes a base concept for the entire story of the sprite. I know each and every one of you who participate add on to the sprite with the intention of making it better, not worst. I have not seen one case of a person trying to sabotage a sprite. Keep this up, but also keep in mind that there is a base quality that you want to preserve. You may not be the best spriter or artist out there, but think about what you are doing, are you helping develop the sprite? or are you just adding on useless extra pixels. I don't mind seeing people learning add on here, I actually enjoy it a lot more than seeing some of the better spriters in the forum add on. Just think before you edit, that is all I ask. I know if your edit is of the best quality yet the idea is wonderful, there are plenty of efficient spriters who would love to help you perfect your addition.

And one last thing, I think BP will support this little gesture, but if he doesn't... we all know the story, his word is truly law. I would like this sprite BP and I created to not be included in the final sprite voting. This was not a true collaboration with a large group of people, which is what I would like to see in the future sprites. So please, don't fight, work together, develop a story with the sprite. But most importantly, ENJOY.

And thank you mods, who supported this little experimentation. Thank you so much,
~Chishio

going for black-ninja-super-marine-julian kinda look :D

@thankyou speech, you're welcome :P

@reserving, if you do plan on reserving (which i discourage), i suggest we have a secondary sprite, so everyone can keep going, instead of being impeded :P
