Okay everyone, it may be up a couple days late, but it is now time for the 4th Baldur's Gate Fanart Challenge! This time, the theme is 16 Bit Sprites! What would BG have looked like if it'd come out in the 16 bit era? So it's time to try your hand at spriting skills and makes us some lovely sprites of the BG characters, monsters, or even items! (or even some nice pixelly maps of areas if you're feeling ambitious) Now, this challenge has special rules. As you know, usually every medium of art is accepted, however this time, the only acceptable submissions are pixelly and 16 bit. Yeahhhh! ...I'm also perfectly willing to accept 8 bit sprites. The only other rules is that it's gotta be BG-related and it's gotta be your own work! So, get spriting!
This challenge will run until Saturday, December 29th unless something comes up. 'Kay?

And of course, remember to submit your suggestions for future challenges over at the suggestion thread, linked below.

    If you ar not familiar with selfing sprites, you could just pick sprites from other games and alter them. Look around youtube, there are tons of tutorials there.

    I skipped the last challenge, so I feel out of the game.

    holy shit you made a sprite of my favorite character from one game by altering the sprite of my favorite character from another game I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

    Like I said: I did this for obvious reasons |D
    Glad you like it ;)

    Haha, I dont think you literally need to make a whole sprite - just one or two frames is enough to show off the artistic concept.
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    @ajwz but sprite sheets are awesome :p
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    I'd love to see 128 bit sprites in BG:EE. I know - probably impossible. Still, wishing, though.
  • MoomintrollMoomintroll Member Posts: 1,498
    There is a good tutorial for doing these here, clearly the people already posting don't need it!
  • NathanNathan Member Posts: 1,007
    @Moomintroll so good!
  • MoomintrollMoomintroll Member Posts: 1,498
    He looks cuddly but I think there'd be some trust issues.

    These are awesome! More more!
  • LadyEibhilinRhettLadyEibhilinRhett Member Posts: 1,078
    All right, people. Here's the deal. I'm letting this challenge run until the new year.
    After that, the fanart challenges will be on a two-week hiatus, due to extremely awesome reasons that I am unable to divulge quite yet.
    Just wait until 2013 rolls around. Then all will become clear. . -c .
