Scribbyz Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Where's the sword template? And do you have a shield template, or do we just use the body template?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 You just use the body template for sword/shields.@Kretor, I need assets and people like cash, it's a win win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draken Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 so basicly this is a recruitment so people dont get the rights to their stuff?Personally dont think contest should have your rights of your own artwork taken away.Give us free sprites and who ever does the best job ill pay you and all you others oh well you get nothing and you can no longer use the sprite you made topic.that sir is not a contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewpull Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The items they send in could be used in a game, and will be personalised to the templates Rob supplied. Therefore there would be little point in using them for your own project, as they are custom-sized to fit the example above.Plus the money prize is pretty big for a couple of images.–Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 It's a clever marketing ploy I agree Draken.The fact of the matter is that this is not mandatory, if people want to submit, they're more than willing, but it's not an obligation. If they choose to give up a few minutes of their time for some artwork, great, but we aren't twisting anyone's arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurdy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Might submit more later. I like drawing/spriting hair. The size of your sprites made it easier to draw on as I normally would. Just wish they weren't so darn close together… Hurmpt... Doesn't give it much room for the _umph_. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
