P.A. Contest 4

Welcome to Omnimaga's fourth Pixel Art Contest. The first three went very well, and we've got lots of great submissions. I'm sure that this one will be no different.

Theme
The theme of this contest is sprite design (notice a repeating pattern here?). The element of design is one thing that is lacking in most calc games, a good fire sprite (Think along the lines of the ones in the older Final Fantasy games, or even the one in Reuben would work)

Specifications
The sprite may be up to 32 pixels wide, and up to 60 pixels tall. You can use up to 4-level grayscale.

Feel free to submit as many sprites as you like!

Important
This contest ends on March 14'th, about 2 weeks from now.

Winner
It's obvious nobody will get any large checks (or maybe not...  :laugh:evillaugh.gif ) for winning the P.A. Contest so the winner's prize will be no diffrent that the last 3, the lucky person gets to pick the theme of the next P.A. contest and they also get a star by their name.

Post your submissions in http://s7.invisionfree.com/Omnimaga/index.php?showtopic=899.

Enjoy and have fun!  :woot:woot.gif

Is this "fire" sprite a weapon attack of some sort or is it more like a campfire? In either case it sounds like it needs to be an animated GIF or a series of sprites that show each frame of the animation.

This sounds like fun!! :ru13z:king2.gif

Any fire will do (remember you can submit more than 1 entry) and you can make it animated if you like :)smile.gif (I belive we can animate it if need be though, all we would need are the frames)

This topic makes me think of a good theme for the next Pixel Art contest...

Animated explosion sequences! The natural progression from a weapon attack. :woot:woot.gif
