...Yep. It's not like it could have gotten me those 400 votes I still need to pass Space Coyote, right?

i don't know, but honestly i thought your spritework was cleaner and more true to how the game sprites look than coyote's
my main issue was with the expressions.

FffffffalsjflasfjdHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You know the saying "so bad that it's good"?

Well, the crazy Miles entry is so horrible that it's pretty much the greatest thing that I have ever seen in my life. You got my vote, whoever you are!

I've finally delurked to say hello and thank you for all the votes and kind words on my Neil Marshall sprites. To all other spriters in the contest: awesome jobs, guys. I seriously wasn't expecting so many votes. I've done sprite edits before, but this is my first time making sprites from scratch. I thought I'd show some progress pics and stuff that didn't make it (sorry, I don't want to start my own topic in the sprite forum because I never post and I just wanted to show these for anyone interested).

"Boy, it's gettin' hot in here, I tell you what."

For the sweat all I did was study the other sweating sprites very, very carefully (Franziska's in particular) and tried to imitate it best I could.
A couple of sprites I was too tired/lazy to finish. You can see how I start with just a rough sketch here.

How it looks animated:
Image
"Now hold on just a darned minute, greenhorn."

The animation needed a bit more fine-tuning, but I knew it would take a fair bit of effort and I just couldn't be bothered.

I was going to do a close-up shot but again, couldn't find the motivation... I might finish it one day.

This is after blocking in the colours and doing some shading.
Modified the timing a bit, too.

Image
"Nooooooooooooooooo!"
And the final product.
Note how I made the sprite shift ever so slightly to the right at one point. I noticed some of the damage sprites do that (though I forget which ones by now).
Fun fact: for his damage sprite, I wanted to make it look like...
Spoiler: for 1-5
...he's being knocked back by Ema on the night of his death.

There you go. My sprites are by no means perfect and there are several things I'd improve on, but they were done for fun and fun I did have. Adios!

Zvarri! My nemesis makes an appearance!

*erhem*
Anyways, you really deserve that first place (which you're probably going to get). Infact, the only reason I didn't vote for you was because I'd feel bad placing one of the votes to cause my inevitable downfall. XD
I really wish I could have your sprite make an appearance in my sprite comic. Too bad Neil's already dead in it.

I found a direct correlation!

Space Coyote - 55% - 17 sprites on display
Greeny - 14% - 13 sprites on display
DJCruithne - 8% - 10 sprites on display
SupwithyouSammie - 6% - 8 sprites on display
HoboPhoenix - 4% - 8 sprites on display

In other words, amount of sprites (on display) has had a significant effect on the
votes - quantity over quality. I also noticed a lot of people don't click on the
sprite sheet links.

...I'm not saying the votes are bad or anything, personally if I had to vote then sure,
the ones with more sprites would look like more effort was put into them.
That and the awesome Neil sprite just so happens to come in quantities. Coincidence.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Everyone had the same amount of time, so of course the best spriters would end up with the most sprites done.

If the sprites are significantly varied, it only makes sense that the spriter/artist spent more time/effort on the set than another person who only made a few. In that case, quantity is quality, unless you insist that someone submitted a ton of essentially similar sprites or a batch of sprites that are poorly made.

I doubt that most people vote based on numbers, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Hmm, I seem to agree with Greeny on this one.
It's more impressive to see many animations, or many different sprites, when necessairly it's not much different.

Lets say we see one Apollo sprite before the game comes out.
Wouldn't you rather see 10 Apollo sprites?
It would be more impressive, more indepth with the character.

Now I know this isn't the OC contest, but some may not be voting like that.

Hmm. Thats just what I think >.<

I agree. Just one sprite doesn't give off enough personality to really get to know the character...

I don't think so, I'm sure most people payed more attention to quality then quantity.
However, those who score high on both are of course going to come out with the most votes.
Still, Less sprites =/= less votes. (Look at prior Contests for example)

Regardless of what it means, I'm just stating the facts. :Hoboright:

Anyways, voting ends today! (Today EU time at least)
I think the score is pretty much settled.
