International Badnik Contest

The badnicks? LOst Library or Tile Layer Pro/TilEd would be you best choices.

 

actually MSPaint is great! "What your crazy" No, I made my one in MSPaint, as long as you know ms paint very well you can create great sprites

 

Yes. Paint is actually great for creating sprite art. After you're done, you can simply transfer your work to TLP or something similar.

I create ALL my level art (see sig) in paint before I put it into the ROM.

 

I like GraphicsGale better for drawing MD style art, simply because the palette is so customizable. I can suit it to my needs, then transfer it into the ROM. Very helpful.

Everybody has thier personal preferences though.

 

One of the best, IMO, is "Promotion". To bad it cost money and apparently there is no crack for it.

 

Personally, I prefer Multimedia Fusion for designing art, but that's just me. Like Tweaker said, everyone has a personal preference.

 

Multimedia Fusion's Sprite Editor is just a revamped MSPaint, no?

 

No it's a lot better than MSPaint. You can have anything up to a 32-bit palette (millions of colours, but I can't remember how many) in which 256 show at the same time at the bottom. Everything can be fully animated so you can get a preview of how it will look, and you can even add certain properties to the sprites to get an idea of how they will act in game.

 

I envy those who have the skills to participate in this contest..it's something I could never do, mainly because I just don't have the patience. =P Good luck to all of you who are participating in the contest, can't wait until the concept art is released.

 

Nice, but please, don't advice the deadline with only a week before it.

 

Awesome, I still have time to enter then. =P Thinking up original and feasible designs based on animals is harder than I thought, so hopefully the introduction of a deadline will get me more motivated.

 

Reading this topic for the first time... that's my problem, and the link for the LOst Library program does not work for me... on the other hand this sounds fun... very fun...

 

And if you do have an idea for a badnik (or any object) that you'd like to see in a ROM, tell me. I need ideas. :P

Just remember that I can't do art, so that part's up to you.

 

Oh GOD that sketch means more to me that just about anything in the world. I hope I can pull this off considering I don't have a ton of know-how in terms of Sonic technical works. I'm an artist, hence why I WANT THAT SKETCH! Let's see...pallets...levels...is there a good hacking untility I can use for this, or should I just grab a pallet from a Sonic level and study how some of the badnicks move?

Anyhow, I'm happy that after the contest we'll get to see the pictures anyway. I don't think I could live without knowing, when the one thing that I've constaintly asked my self is "What about Genocide City Zone?"

 

Shut your mouth, you're blabbing my whole plan to the world

 

I don't plan on it.
