Title: The Nifty Nostalgic Contest of Bob
Post by: Gil on March 01, 2007, 12:34:35 pm

Seeing the popularity that Tsugumo's thread (http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=3421.0) received, I'm starting this contest. Would any mod be interested in making this an official contest?

The object of the contest is to create a magical effect that influences Bob, just like the good old one.

Rules:
None really, just keep the canvas the same size and colour
Making the background transparent is allowed, but not necessarily encouraged
3D and glow effects and other "dirty" techniques are allowed and even encouraged; the trick is to make them fit with the style

If you make some magical effect, could you please write in your message if you would allow (or not) Adarias and I to  use your effect in our TRPG (we'd give credit) ? Thanks.

It IS centered, the feet are. Besides, this piece of graphic is 5 years old or so, no sense in changing it :D
