Welcome to the July edition of OCR's "official" Fan Art Competition (FAC).

If your unfamiliar with FAC then please refer to the next post that contains all rules and regulations.

As you know the winner of last months FAC gets the privilege of choosing this month's theme. OA basically kicked the crap out of everyone and decided to try something new with the compo, and I'm going with it. He selected Konami (thats right EVERYTHING by them).

A list of every game by them can be found HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_games).

PM me all entries by:
July 27th

Alright! Lets get started!

Support this thread by wearing one of these:

FAQ

What is the Fan Art Competition?
The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme.

What is the theme?
The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition and must be video game related.

What if I don't know much about the theme?
Information resources are provided in the first post of the thread.

Who can submit art?
Anyone

What are my restrictions?
You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions.

Who decides the winner?
OCR of course, the whole community votes on it.

How does voting work?
On the day after the deadline I will make a post that displays all of the art submitted. Then users will be allowed to see every entry and decide which three they like the best, in order. Afterwhich they will send me a PM with their vote and maybe a few comments about the contest. They must do so in the announced voting period. If not then they fail at voting.

When and how do we see the results?
After the voting period is over I will count the results and figure out which peice has the most points. When voting the voter sends in their top three favorite peices. The one they like the most is worth 3 points, the second 2 points and the third 1 point.

If I enter the contest can I vote?
Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you REALLY wanna.

Once the points have been counted I will send a happy PM to the winner that tells them that they one and explains how they are to choose the next months theme. *deep breath* Once I get a PM back I will post the results and artists choice for the next months theme.

Rules and Regulations!
1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme.
2) No P0rn.
3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme.
4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry.

[atmuh]

I'd also appreciate it if you could include what game your art is from in your submission, and I'd appreciate a REALLY GOOD sig that could advertise because this can ROCK.

and guys in case you dont know what game to do PLAY ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS

[friendlyHunter]

Aha, a chance to revive that Contra animated gif I made way back in the day:

http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/1636/fh8contrajt7.gif


Yeah, I'll make something new too. Too bad I can't enter my 75% complete entry from the Castlevania competition =\

[Edit]
Holy crap I should put that gif in my sig and have it link to this thread, henceforth saving Christmas. .... and possibly the competition.

[atmuh]

[friendlyHunter]

i am debating that or zombies ate my neighbors

[Rambo]

i am debating that or zombies ate my neighbors

Both would be excellent and acceptable choices. In fact, given the VERY LITTLE activity this FAC has recieved.... you should do one of each... BETTER YET!!!! ZOMBIES EATING PEOPLE ON A DDR PAD!

Yeah... I'm definitely cramming all my favorite KONAMI crap into the same composition. I dunno why I was debating which game to go with....

[The Phalanx]

...wait, what? ALL of Konami? Thats retarded.

[atmuh]

...wait, what? ALL of Konami? Thats retarded.

he asked if it was ok and i was like what the heck this thing is going down anyway maybe this will give it some more life

[Ninja-san]

Does this mean Castlevanias back in the picture?

[OA]

...wait, what? ALL of Konami? Thats retarded.

not ALL of Konami. ANY of Konami.

And retarded? Maybe, we'll have to see how it turns out. The goal was to give some more obscure games a chance, but not make the turnout suck. I still can't decide what I want to do. I was thinking Life Force, or maybe DDR.

I checked out the Konami (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami) entry on wikipedia and was kindof surprised of some of the games they made. I totally forgot they did Silent Hill or Metal Gear or Suikoden. I guess all I remember them specifically from is Contra or the Ninja Turtles NES games. -_-

[Rambo]

the Ninja Turtles NES games. -_-

Turtles in Time... Turtles in freaking time man... <3

[linkspast]

So dose this mean that no one can pick MGS for future FAC?

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I would love to join you guys again. Konami is nice and broad too.

[atmuh]

So dose this mean that no one can pick MGS for future FAC?

i dont see mgs as the topic do you?
aka yes they can

[friendlyHunter]

I would love to join you guys

[The Phalanx]

Can we combine games from Konami as part of one picture?

Reason I ask is, because I remember seeing some pictures a couple of years back with the best two Konami-game combination: Contra and Castlevania. The idea was made of exploration and SHOOTAN GAEM, and I've been in love with the concept since.

Go for it; if I can't decide on a signle game, i'll probably do a combo as well. :-)

[shpladoink]

I will create a wallpaper of every konami character ever

[Rambo]

I will create a wallpaper of every konami character ever

That's alot of freaking characters. But yeah, I'm gonna more or less incorporate all the games I've played.

[atmuh]

good
now make me a *GOOD* sig someone

[friendlyHunter]

Someone should put shpladoink's quote in their sig.

[Barnsalot]

I had better be seeing some Suikoden love up in here soon.

Seriously, if I could draw... That's what I'd do.

[friendlyHunter]

Is making a Flash animation using sprites allowed? It'd BETTER BE!! Even if it's not allowed, I'll probably make it anyway, my idea's just too awesome.

sprites are not your own work
unless you make them

[friendlyHunter]

Oh crap =( What if I make the sprites do things... things they were never meant to do in a game? Things that will BLOW YOUR MIND!!??!


For example, would something along the lines of this be allowed as an entry?
(MK vs. SF 3 fight)
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/377529

[Edit]
Maybe that wasn't actually a good example - my idea uses sprites with considerably less frames, and does arguably more complex stuff with them. Like I said I'll make it anyway - I'm happy with a bonus entry =p

[Edit]
Or... I could maybe use sprites with a few frames and then make a huge amount of new frames for them? That'd get the best results probably... Or even give old sprites a complete graphical overhaul. It might axe the retro feel I originally wanted, but... let's see what happens......

[OA]

I'm going to guess no, but blowing people's minds is a good idea. I'd run with it.

I'm going to do life force, and make the pilots of the 2 ships total space hunnies.

[shpladoink]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_games

looks like i'd better get started

edit: oh this was in the first post


edit: fuck yeah Mahjong Fight Club fan art here we come

[atmuh]

sprites came up a long long time ago and the decided rule was you cannot alter a sprite in any way, the only sprites you can use are ones that you create 100% from scratch

[atmuh]

ok so im sorta considering giving up this competition after this month, as im kinda trying to slowly ween myself off the internets
thatd probably change if there was growing interest instead of just the same people each month (not that i dont like you guys or anything)
but ya know if someone wants to take over they are welcomed to do so
if more than one are ill pick the coolest person
knowing me i probably wont give it up but i might
what i really want is this subforum to be over

[Necrotic]

Don't give up yet, man.

A work-in-progress:

WORK IN PROGRESS CLICKIE CLICKIE (http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1940/konamifac01qa3.jpg)

I was bummed that I couldn't finish for Castlevania month. So far that's what I'm going with but who knows what other fun Konami stuff I could throw in there by the time I'm finished. :)


-Nick

[Rambo]

Man this sucks. Between summer school, soccer and work, I've got NO energy to do anything. I thought maybe I'd have a go at it this weekend... but Mario Strikers is coming out..... Apologies in advance if I don't end up contributing. Not as though this comp seems to have a much longer life span... :sad:
Btw nice WIP Nick. <3 castlevania <3

[Necrotic]

Thanks. I think you'd be surprised as to how much I've transformed that into so much more in just a few short hours. Can't wait to finish. :) Even if I'm the only entry for this month I'm making it a commitment to finish the lineart at the very least to keep on the spirit of this competition. I just wish more people could do the same, but I understand even during summer some of us have lots to do (me on the other hand...)

I really hope we can do something about this massive hiatus. D: This is far and away my favourite competition.


-Nick

[atmuh]

Mario Strikers

dude that game sucks

Why play crap when you can play good. Or work on a FAC entry.

WHIP GUN!!!????!!!

[Rambo]

dude that game sucks
Really? You've played it?
I got the release dates wrong anyway. That's the 30th of July and MP3 was supposed to be the 20th of August. I'm getting it regardless as I'm a total mario whore. I'm not selling my mario DDR only because it's mario.... even though it's likeliest the worst DDR ever.
In any case. WOO FREE-ER weekend!

the first one sucked
the second will be exactly the same
stop buying the same recycled crap

[Rambo]

stop buying the same recycled crap

How many versions of Pokemon do you have? :)!!

[atmuh]

How many versions of Pokemon do you have? :)!!

the word i used was crap
if a game isnt crap buy as much as you want of it

[friendlyHunter]

Hmmm, a July 27 deadline does not work for me anymore... But I guess that won't matter, since my entry won't count anyway. I'll try to get it finished before the voting's over =)

[Necrotic]

Uhh so I just found out my sister's place may not have internet access during the time I'm going to be there 'cause of some stupid billing issue that stupidly shouldn't exist because it was really taken care of but the ISP doesn't think so.

That said, I may not be able to submit on the 27th. D:

How should I proceed commander? Entry is not ready for consumption but I will be taking it on my trip. Maybe I can leech WiFi?

i guess no one cares
well at this rate im not doing this again next month
anyone who wants to keep it going is welcomed to

[Chickenwarlord]

I'm doing my best to help this dying forum. Unfortunately, art is not one of my strong suits. MSPAINT FTW.

[Necrotic]

Yay internets.

My sister got that shiz all sorted out.

No longer a problem.


-Nick

[CopiousX]

What better choice for environment than Silent Hill.

[friendlyHunter]

Woah, turns out my sprite animation plan was a LITTLE too ambitious. I managed to finish a big chunk at the start, but now I'm out of gas. I'll probably let it sit on my hard drive for months and months like that old Metroid entry I haven't finished.... actually, I think I'll try and finish the Metroid thing, maybe for this deadline... gives me an excuse to work on it.

[shpladoink]

oops i forgot about this

[OA]

If Atma is done with running this (don't super blame you),
I'll run one or two more until it's completely beaten into the ground.

[Rambo]

Soooo, I've got final exams for my 2 classes today. Don't think I'll be finishing up my entry. I hope this comp doesn't collapse before I get to finish another submission.
I'm glad to hear that OA will moderate it for a bit if Atma ducks out.

[atmuh]

oh crap im going away tomorrow i forgot
well ill set up the voting before i leave i guess

not like i have anything more than 2 entries anyway

you gotta get the stuff in before 9pm est

[SolidSnake4564]

NO NO NO, wait I have to get mine in! Please!!!

[SolidSnake4564]

I think I made it. I sent it at 9:06pm. If I didn't I'll just post it and hopefully it is appreciated,

[shpladoink]

mine is like 1/10 done

[atmuh]

voting first post
someone pm a mod to edit the thread title so it says voting time
im off to maine bye

[SolidSnake4564]

...do we still send him the votes?

[friendlyHunter]

Yes, let's send him our votes; melancholy votes of tearful goodbyes. Atma was like a giant magic monster-weapon to me... *sniff*


Anyway, can anyone here think of any reasons for me to NOT get a Newgrounds account? I'm thinking of hosting my WIP Konami thing to post here, and submitting some of my older (and future) stuffs...

[Necrotic]

So sucks for me but I couldn't get my tablet drivers working at my sis' place (where I spent the past 8 days.) D: I'm back home now... I'll keep working on my entry just for the fun of it. I'd really like to show what it was I was working on, I'm pretty proud that I haven't managed to eff it up so far but it's not even close to finished.


-Nick

[SolidSnake4564]

Perhaps we could continue the fan art competition in some new way. I know I support it because I force myself to complete an entry, as long as I've played the game. Perhaps just a fan art monthly fun thread?

[OA]

I was thinking of doing something every 2 months; gives people more time and less chance of burning out.

Any thoughts?

[Strike911]

man, i so wanted to do one for this theme! ^_^

lol. -_- maybe one day.

[The Unsung Plumber]

I would just like to throw my name into the mix.

I could help out whoever is going to try to keep this compo going. Or I could take over if no one wants to.


Edit: Voted.

[cobaltstarfire]

Doing one every two months does seem nicer for people who'd want to compete, more time for them to figure out what they want to do, and actually do it.

[Penfold]

So....is this thread being back in community going to affect Atma's decision about no longer continuing it?

...

This is in community now, and not just my imagination right?

[cobaltstarfire]

A few other threads got moved into the community too, dunno why though.

[Penfold]

Must have been enough people complaining about compo threads being less visible in the previous location.

[atmuh]

holy crap i go on vacation lose all internet find the internet and i am greeted by this thread in gendisc???
i may yet hang on to this
still busy though so ill be back later

[OA]

Your paragraph has too many eggs in one basket.

I think you should keep doing this.

[Ninja-san]

Works over tommarrow so ill defiently be able to do the next comp. Glad to see this thread out in the open. This competions alot of fun and gets better with more people. Cgratz to those that entered something. Great stuff :]

[Necrotic]

2 days late


-Nick

[Ninja-san]

So ummmm whats up with the comp?

[atmuh]

sorry i fell asleep and forgot
oa wins

[Dhsu]

I totally didn't see that coming!

Just kidding, guys, you all did great.

But OA still freaking destroyed you.

[OA]

so guys, how do we want to do this?

1. Let this die now, and have it's history passed into legend

2. Have it occur once every 2 months

[Necrotic]

Question, would it be one month active every 2 months, or the full 2 months active every 2 months that we work on the projects?

I'd still like to try contributing to the FAC. I was so close to finishing my entry, but my tablet didn't work at my sister's place where I spent 8 days last month. I still spend 30 minutes every now and again just working on the small little bits when I can, even though it's useless now.

In fact, we just got this on the main page. That in itself could be good.

[Ninja-san]

I like two months for each submission.

[supremespleen]

you guys should do darkstalkers
that game had some awesome characters

[OA]

it'd basically be what we are doing now, but instead of a one month deadline, it'd be two.

It just makes more sense to let people have more time, rather than have a 1 month deadline, and then 1 month off. That way the last minute people (90% of everyone really :-) ) will at least have a month and three weeks to think about their entry, and people will have twice as long to see a theme posted, and get ready to spend the final week working on it.

[Necrotic]

Sounds perfect. It's taken me 2-3 weeks before just to get the right idea of what I want to do let alone how I end up doing it. I may be an illustrator, but leave it to me to have no imagination. :(

[atmuh]

do what you will and have fun with it
ill poke in and out sometimes maybe

[The Phalanx]

it's history passed into legend

WELCOME TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY.

Anyway. Two months would probably be good, so long as the thread is bumped on a regular basis. It'd only leave 6 contests a year, but these could be 6 EPIC contests. We can at least try it out.

[friendlyHunter]

This also means, if the winner from the previous month chooses an obscure game, we'll have a ton more time to learn about it, or play it - or even beat it. And I'll actually have time to finish my Flash entries before the deadline (still got 2 outstanding!)

[atmuh]

so go for it then

[OA]

Suppose I could start early; I was waiting until the beginning of September, but 2.5 months is cool for the first one. Mind if I copy your beginning infoz for the first 2 posts?

[atmuh]

thats what its there for matey

[Rambo]

Suppose I could start early; I was waiting until the beginning of September, but 2.5 months is cool for the first one. Mind if I copy your beginning infoz for the first 2 posts?

You still planning on starting early? Sooner the better! School starts in September do remember!!!
And I really don't know what kind of time devotion to expect from first year....

[atmuh]

so where is the new thread just because im pretty much gone doesnt mean i dont check back to see if its here
