Please comment if there are things that I've missed writing on the guidelines.

And I need volunteer judges!

I don't think you meant for judgment to last from Feb 28 until March 31! ;-)

Also, to be clear...one can take a games original sprite and alter that to match this month's theme...yes?  I'm sure the end result would both resemble the original character, as well as be significantly different enough to be "original" in a sense.  That's how I'm understanding the allowance for alterations, but I don't want to take all the time to do that if I'll end up DQ'd.

Question:
1) It have to be the other game in pixel or can be from a game on 3D? I can think that the Castlevania in 3D dosnt count since they are castlevania but Im saying from other games.

2) I dont know if I dont understand the part of "Castlevanize", its to make the sprite art of a Castlevania or its to grab a character from another game and add power and stile of a character from the Castlevania?

Sorry if my questions are stupid but Im not sure of thats things and its better to ask.

@Android: re. the date, oops. hehe

And for the clarifications on the theme....
You may copy a sprite from another game and do some edits on it to make that character fit in with the Castlevania world. Or you make make your own sprite based on the original character (this would be the only option if you're using a 3D character) while adding Castlevania elements.

What constitutes the  criteria of fitting within the Castlevania wold?

Are you guys looking more towards sprite style (because if that's the case we really don't have a template for that and it depends on which CV game that you choose), adding accessories (i.e whip,), or both?

Maybe we should narrow it down, because it sounds to me that we are going to have entries that are all over the place....

If it was done in a CV game, it's fair game. That is how I interperate it. Whether its the NES trilogy, Bloodlines, CV4/X86/DraculaX+, CotM, HoD (why would anyone, lol), AoS, the DS Trilogy, or Haunted Castle.

I would imagine it is up to you to pick what you think will end up looking the best. Personally I'd recommend going with DraculaX+ (meaning any game using the style started in Dracula X). People tend to like the level of detail, and dislike the anime outlines of the DS trilogy.

Post by: Dracula9 on March 03, 2015, 11:50:27 PM
I interpret the criteria as, for example, taking Zero from the Mega Man series, altering his armor and design to fit the overall medieval and gothic look of Castlevania, replacing his Z Saber with, say the Crissaegrim, and then spriting that in an appropriate style.

Stuff like that.

I just want to share my opinion...

I was thinking on a form of spriting based on a personal interpretation, beyond "SOTN style" or "AoS Style" or "DraculaX Style" etc.

What i meant by "Castlevanize": "Do whatever you want to any character you want, so, that customized character becomes castlevanized" (whatever the term castlevanized means to you). The idea (at least, the original idea) more than making a "foreigner" character fitting the style of a particular castlevania title, is about interpretation. Show how your mind (and artistic skills, of course ) is "affected" after years and years of exposure to castlevania titles  ;D

Want to take a Mario sprite and "paint" an Alucard suit over it? Fine, do it

I interpret the criteria as, for example, taking Zero from the Mega Man series, altering his armor and design to fit the overall medieval and gothic look of Castlevania, replacing his Z Saber with, say the Crissaegrim, and then spriting that in an appropriate style.
Yeah, do it if that's what you want. ¿Are you interested in having Chun Li seated on the Dracula's throne? Go for it!

Maybe we should narrow it down, because it sounds to me that we are going to have entries that are all over the place....
This was the most important goal to me: Variety of entries. "Oh, but this is going to be difficult to Judge". Yeah, But it could be fun. Well, that was my intention behind the "Castlevanize" thing. I know it is not the most compatible idea with the sort of contests that had taken place recently in the forum.   We'll see how this idea takes form.

Post by: Dracula9 on March 04, 2015, 01:49:43 AM

Darkman, why are the pixels all fucked up on the sprite? They're certainly not in the right resolution to be SotN styled. They're all different sizes, offset, and overlapping their surrounding pixels.

Really dude?

The resolution is 144 at 2X Zoom and 72 at 1X.

And that is hand-drawn from scratch so forgive the overlaps.

I chose SOTN because that is what the style I thought the sprite closely resembled.  What do you think? Suggestions?
Title: Re: March 2015 Castlevania Dungeon Sprite Contest
Post by: uzo on March 15, 2015, 04:11:55 PM
What did you use to make it? I really have no idea how you got the result you did if you were spriting in any normal manner. Regardless if you did it from scratch, if it was sprited at actual resolution there is no way the pixels could overlap. I just have no idea how you got it the way it is.

Without redoing it, the best you could probably do is shrink it tot he actual SotN size and touch it up from there. That would then become your final version, and you'd upscale the zoomed versions from that new final version.

All he's saying is that the "look" isn't quite there.

(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.terriblehands.com%2Fdctp%2Fsprites%2Fsotnalpunch.gif&hash=bf338203f6603acd8f5a4ff4f1bd1dde)   (https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fku2Z6Jo.gif&hash=062ace9750627abc88903a469ec81e0c)

That Alucard's at 2x scale, whereas your Raziel towers over him. It'd be different if Raz was ten feet tall, but in-universe he's likely around 5'8 or so, even less considering his usual slightly hunched stance. The size you have him at now is closer to Dumah's height.

The complaint about the pixels is a little easier to explain. Without intending to give offense, it does kind of look like you drew the sprite with the square-block tool, rather than the typical pencil tool for spriting.

I understand firsthand (and then some) the immediate feeling of defensiveness when confronted with uzo's criticisms, but in this context I don't think there's a real need for it. Aside from saying the pixels look fucked up (which when compared to SotN's sprite style they kinda do), it's not like he outright insulted your work; he's just trying to figure out how you got it done.

Ha, takes alot more than that to get me upset!

Besides no reason too.

Thanks for all the constructive feedback!

As for my style yes, I indeed drew the sprite in photoshop with squares because I like that pixelated look. I draw all my sprites in that style. I have a Wacom but for spriting I just use a mouse.

I also purposely drew it big so that when I had to scale it down I wouldn't lose that detail, but judging by that Alucard you provided that put my sprite in scale.

Yeah, that's going to screw it up because you're not doing it at the actual resolution. Vectoring pixels is going to make them look really screwed up when you try to reduce it. Zoom in and do it pixel by pixel.

You should be able to salvage it by what I described above though for this one. Good luck.

Added Jop's 2 more entries. That makes 4 sprites from him.
I also added your pm thing on the first post.

I'll judge again.  I had some ideas for participating this time (such as trying to CVize the McKids!), but never got around to it, and I certainly won't be able to in the next 2 days...it's been a crazy month.  Or...it's been "life" as defined by various dungeonites in the redraw post started by the artist formerly known as ZSG.

I know I've expressed interest in participating earlier, but college and other stuff has made me lose it, so all I can say is good luck to the other participants.

Jop : Isaac Clarke from Dead Space

You took a character from an entirely diffirent universe and modified him
to actually feel like a castlevania like character. Kudos to you, great idea.
My advice to you would be to focus on fewer entries next time, while all antries
were pretty good I can't stop but feeling like if you picked one or two and worked them
out some more they could have been substantially better.



e105beta: Knight Artorias

Suberb pixel skills, I love the result. Sadly I feel like this is more like taking a character and
making a sprite out of him. Nonetheless he still feels in place in a castlevania game as an axeknight esque character.
My advice: mess around with the sprite more, step outside the boundries of just drawing what you see and add that little
extra flavour. I really hope to see more of this in the future.


Dracula9: Legacy of Kain - Kain, SotN-styled


While the same comment goes out to you as I gave to e105beta I would have to say that this sprite
seems more castlevanized, hence I'm giving you a little extra points. The sprite work itself is fantastic,
don't know how to describe it better. I'd have liked to see a second pose so I hade more of the sprite to admire
but even without it it's a great entry.

We're just waiting for theANdROId's judgment.
And once he posts, can someone please tally the results.

I apologize for my delay.  I was out of town for another biopsy (everything is still working well by the way) and didn't realize the judging conflict until I was already gone.  I only had access via my smartphone, which just isn't the best way to work. :-/  I have the judgment done and posted below though, and I'll tally and add/edit it in at the end of this post.
