Sprite"JAN" / Jam15 to Jam25 ] - (Winner Announced)

[I<3Pindorama!]

It is and it has aired in Brasil. As for the guy, I probably wouldn't have thought of it if not for selmiak's photographer. So credit where credit is due...Oh, I thought it was you! Just relaxingly drinking your tea by the seaside with waving hair in the air... there was something about hair in the song too, I remember... but shampoo jut didn't translate good into this picture..

You are right !!! 
I made a search and the series aired in 1981 ...
I had less than nine years at that time, something else would be calling my attention ... maybe Tom & Jerry. 
Despite this the "Cylons" are a little familiar to me. 

selmiak made the character turned to the statue...
I thought was put someone facing the sea, without
the cup but with a undulating hair in the air like you did.

And who said that shampoo don't is a good translate to that picture?
There is no better shampoo that the wind to take care the hair on the outside,
and especially nothing better than think good thoughts to treat it from inside ...

Oh, Cassie... you have no idea (or does) how your image brings me sweet memories...

My Grandpa's Slipper ... (by Moraes Moreira and band - playing with a Bahian guitar) http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=51496.0 If they tell you that a matchbox can set on fire the world?! Don't be afraid, the sun is a red ball that attracts me and lights me. What matters is that you have two feet, and the distance from there to here it's the same! My mouth is not just to talk and kiss, my mouth guards my language/tongue too! <- double meaning And another thing that I have and I like it's my hair that is so pure and beautiful, as my looooove... And simple as the slipper that belongs to my grandpaaaaaaaa

ROFL!!! As I scrolled down this picture flashed past and I thought "HOW THE HELL DID PINDO GET MY PICTURE UP?!"
It's so close to my WiP that it's scary...Thanks for the kindness mate on the deadline mate: It makes me even more pumped to make it in time...

This could well be a spoiler ... but in fact turned your art into deeper mystery!

Here's my entry...I had tons of fun with it which I owe to the contest host...

Oh, and...

As it's a Sprite Jam I also thought I should also include the sprite itself without the background as if it could be uploaded straight into AGS (if the room it was used in had the same exact background):

Best of luck to all!!!

[AprilSkies]

Amazing! Soo cartoonish!

[Cassiebsg]

Looks great Mandle!
Been playing with play clay?

Man, I swear by all that is most sacred ... I wish someone had done it !!!
I wanted that the balusters, the plane and the statue was an irresistible temptation!
All works were startling ... but I confess that i was getting disappointed with my own background ...   

But here that emerges from the abyssal depths ... IT... THE MASTER THING !!!!! 

With its sumptuous tentacles, free, strong, insatiable ... involving  and screwing darkly each element of the background!

And for a moment I even thought you would emerge a duckling ...   

...I had tons of fun with it which I owe to the contest host...

For all the help you gave ... and all the support ... and everything tha you did ...
You are more than a partner or a competitor ... you are a true HERO!
I am immensely grateful for your generosity!
Your gesture is what best represents the spirit of this community!
Thank you very much Mandle!

Best of luck to all!!!

Man ... thanks to the good God that I not access the forum by an iphone!

[selmiak]

so... freaking... cool!

[Mandle]

Cheers folks for the good words!!! I will vote tonight after work as I want to give it the thought it seriously deserves: Everyone's entries are just too good. I'm totally lost!

Oh, Pindorama, you might want to extend the voting time until, say February 1st or so: Some people don't login as often as us, so usually voting period is given at least a week

Don't worry...everyone here is pretty patient and it's always good to get lots of opinions for voting...

[I<3Pindorama!]

Rookie mistake ...
Fixed!

Thanks again, Man!

[Mandle]

Deadline: 01 February

VOTE NOW OR UNTIL Jamuary 27:

Ummm...I don't think this is quite right...Let's fix that:

Deadline: January 27th

VOTE NOW OR UNTIL February 1st:

[I<3Pindorama!]

lol
Sorry for that!
I was dead tired ... my rookie level was in hard mode. 

[Mandle]

After a bit of reflection on how lost I was to vote on all these awesome entries I think I have finally found a way:

I decided to vote in the order of my own personal S.M.P. Meter (Shit My Pants Meter)...This being the order in which I would personally S.M.P. if I actually saw that thing coming out of the water right before my eyes:

So...

#1: AprilSkies...Despite the obvious artistic and technical uber-skills, this is the thing that would make me S.M.P. the most: It looks the most savage and mind-bendingly insane...

#2: Soxbrooker...This thing just looks like it wants to eat up everything in its path. I also love the attention paid to the thing's anatomy. If you look carefully you will see that the front arm appendages are not as simple as they first appear...

#3: Cassiebsg...A freaking giant Cylon!!! Well that would make me S.M.P. I'm sure...Especially if the rest of your model is as awesome as this helmet!!! Also: the blending with the water spray is perfect...

As always: Best of luck to all...

(Added the l just for anyone viewing zoomed-out on their iPhone)

I hate voting, always feel guilty for leaving someone out.

But...
1st - Selmiak - That picture is just so beautiful! I really think you should have taken care a bit more of the photographer though... he deserved better. And I totally agree with M.V.R.!

2n -  Soxbrooker - Cause I can see that on a Marvel/DC title!

3rd - AprilSkies - Cause I can just see that on a Manga/Anime!

4th - Mandle - Cause I can just see that on a Franco-Belgian comic Album... and scaring all the little children!

PS - @Mandle

Spoiler

You would be disappointed if I left him fully emerge... cause the helmet is actually all I got atm...
I don't really need it for my game, but since I "love" those guys and when abstauber said he was looking forward to see one... I just decided to do it and "finish" what I had started many months ago. It's still not perfect, but close enough that I could use it as is.
And thanks for the kind words.

It was a suggestion of my daughter.
She had watched a few episodes of "Wacky Races" and suggested this idea.

She is a very special girl in my life ...
His birth brought a kind of madness that was missing in my heart ...the happiness!

And most likely you know this sweet madness too!
