Congrats, Faceless.

Been fun looking at everyones different styles and interpretations of such a famous character.

Bit confused that I got any points at all.  I thought it wouldn't be allowed without a Boktai.  Dunno where I got that from and I can't seem to find it on these pages but then only one of my eyes is working today anyway...

Hey, way to go faceless, and to the others who entered.  Good show by all I think.

Ha ha, looks like I took third again.  Or is that a tie for second?  Oh well, I'll close that gap one day ^_^

Congrats again!

Tied for second. Although we already knew how much ass Hondo kicks from the last contest. :)

You wouldn't have been able to win without both, but I wanted to post which entries got votes just to let you guys know which ones we liked best and to make this less of a 'winner v. losers' thing. The voting was really varied among the judges, which says a lot about the quality of these sprites.

Heheh, this one made me smile.

Really nice sprites, Camus. Probably not the easiest to see animated of the bunch here, but there's something real special about yours. Especially Rayman

<3 it

Now that the compo is over I can say that I thought Camus's sprites, while idiosynchratic, were really not at all working for me. extreme saturation, too much thick black, not enough distinction of surface (maily talking about the freestyle one, the boktai worked more). I'm not sure what Camus had on his mind. I know he can animate this style pretty solidly, and a lot of the weirdness of his approach pays off in motion, but the freestyle still shot just had me going '...what?'

A lot of people approached the style (like Dhaos, Faceless) with clean surfaces and special attention to detail and outlines of the parts, and I think it worked out great for them. I feel comic-style demands more constraint.
