Spright Jham 12.14-12.21.05

[big brother]

I'd like to welcome everyone to this thread. Gentlemen...and the la-dy. Oh, you too, I didn't forget you. My, your eyeshadow sure makes that dress look pretty! In case no one reads the titles, this is a weekly character drawing competition, where the winner takes all. And by all, I mean the winner takes my job as host for next week.

Don't all pee your pants at once.

Since my creative well is frozen over, I decided to go with the first topic that stopped by my head for a cup of tea and some hardtack. And since this idea coincides with the holiday spirit, may I introduce:

A TRAVELER!

Should you enter, you must pixel a character who is a traveler. Any time period is welcome, so shovel some coal in your imagination! Here are some ideas to spark that fire:

Things a traveler might have
Snowshoes
Mukluks
Hiking boots
Boots with fur trim
Uggs
Pancho
Safari hat
Extra cell phone battery
Backpack
Icepick
Climbing gear
Water purifying tablets
Dutch oven
Sunglasses
Sunblock lotion
Condom
Baked beans (canned)
Mosquito spray
Mutant repellent
Foreign phrasebook (pocket-sized)
Traveler's cheques (duh!)
Garlic and a wooden stake
Swiss Army knife
A sidekick

Things a traveler wouldn't have
A tutu
Chinese porcelain tea set (with blue flowers)
Self-respect

Restrictions
Max size: 128x128
Max colors: 32
Max bribe: $1,000 (cash, please. I want to keep this below the IRS's radar)

Get to work, people!

[Mordalles]

i'll get the ball rolling:

the traveler that brings death. hope you never meet him.
128x128, 9 colours.




NO PAINTOVER, NOT TRACED, with a MOUSE.
i used a painting that i had on my pc as reference. some of you might have seen it before, especially if you've been in the diablo 2 lod circles.
the original pic's title is "death dealer".
i realised i never really drew a horse myself, and i wanted a horse in it, since the restrictions are 128x128, so i started to search for horse reference, lucky i remembered about this pic.
edit: thanks, bb. here is the reference pic. same pose, lost the shield and sword.

[scourge]

I enter NOW!

The Banished Travelers:
Once in a far off kingdom there lived a princess. In the king's forces were a berzerker. His frenzy was fatal to enemies and opposing armies feared him as he was known as the "red fist of a thousand teeth". He brought the king many victories. Until the day he lost control and he killed an allied knight of royal birth in his rage. The king banished him, and so too the princess as she would not see him go. She is the only one that can calm his anger.

So she is the traveler with the escort berzerker. Together they travel in foreign worlds never to return. Bleh. 3x 114x120 26 colors.



Mordalles: WOW! :o that is the most amazing thing i've ever seen! I am being totally serious and unbiased! My goodness!

[big brother]

Mordalles: Wow, it's about time someone entered a Frazetta classic! Is there a reference pic you could post?

Am i the only one that thinks Espers drawing looks like himself?

EDIT: I forgot to post my entrance
I bring forth... The mysterious traveler!!! And his trusty sidekick!

[Nikolas]

Am i the only one that thinks Espers drawing looks like himself?

esper has nothing to do with his picture, nothing at all... sorry for that... get back to work now...

And I might enter myself, since Geofkhan did...

EDIT: Yes! I did enter! check the next page! I'm making noise, since this is my very first entry at the sprite J(h)am!!!

[Gregjazz]

And I might enter myself, since Geofkhan did...

I thought you might.

Please do, though. That'll be cool--getting all the musicians to enter art competitions. After all, there is only one music comp and several art compititions.

I'm excited because I have finally gotten around to finishing a sprite and entering it!
And here it is, in
