​

​

NOTICE!!!​

For the jury or anyone else.​

Now I'm read a lot of comments like:​

"No-no-no, all hats must be ONLY cosmetic!"​

I know this. ​

All not-passive effects are JUST FOR FUN!!! Not for the serious part of contest!​

I hope you will notice this fact, when you judge this contest.​

​

​

ABILITIES ​

1-THE POWER OF LIGHT!​

​

Just a common flashlight.​

​

2 - BUILT SPYGLASS.​

​

A little spyglass allows you to explore distant objects with weapon in hands. ​

​

3 - Automatic shocker.​

​

10% chance to hit the enemy with electricity when he attacks you in melee combat.​

​

4 - Vintage Cannon​

​

Creates a large cannon (System use materials from environment! o_O). Power of the cannonball (yes, REAL cannonball, with a gunpowder (or something else... who knows...)) is GREAT, it easy can kill YOU with your enemies, if you will stand too close to the epicenter of explosion. ​

​

Ability recarge - 15 min. ​

Ammo - Giant Cannonball ​

​

​

ANIMATED SPRITES (just for fun)​

​

JUST STANDING​

​

SHOCKER​

​

CANNON GENERATION​

​

SHOOTING VINTAGE CANNON​

​

CANNONBALL EXPLOSION ​

P.S. - I'm noob in pixel-art, and it's the reason why helmet on the sprites is so ugly - sorry ​

Very VERY nice artwork.
Well, for the most part. The animations could use some work.

Also, had I not known that you posted this, I would guess that Suika Ibuki drew this.
The art style is very similar.

(Oh yeah, and poptops are plants. They wouldn't have bones.)

 

The helmet is beautifully designed and detailed. It's a shame a lot of the detail doesn't show on the pixel version because of the limitations.

Really great work though, this has a very good chance to win.

 

All that time spent making animations... wasted.
1. Hats currently do not animate. This does not mean that they will not in the future. If you make nice animations, that's cool. You're not disqualified for this. This just means that if we decide to put your hat in the game, that's some work that we have to do.

 

He does have a point, though it's not really 100% wasted. A lot of these hats have animations and powers for lore, flavor or just for fun.
It gives a feeling to the hat from a story aspect.

 

This is AMAZING.

 

1 - Thank you! BTW, it is my first animated artwork, and it really needs some skills...
2 - Yeah, because I STOLE SHE'S STYLE FOR THE GREAT JUSTICE!!! I really like Suika's style and try do something similar.
3 - X-RAY just for more epic effect.

 

Thank you, and good luck (if you participate in contest... but anyway, good luck )

Thank you too)

 

1 - Try to get what it would look like in your head, and you don't have to have all frames be the same length. Also, when working with pixel art, think mosaic, not drawing.
Here are some things you should know.

When drawing electricity, think pikachu from pokemon. Electric bolts arn't just a bunch of static, they lash out like power-hungry demon snakes.

When drawing smoke, remember that it starts thick, then gradually goes away after time. There may be a big puff, then it has a steady stream for a few moments, then starts to fade away. Also, keep in mind that it fades once it gets to the top, not all at once.

Don't know what you want for the cannon generation, but I would start out with particles coming from the surrounding area, and all condensing on the center in an outline of the gun. then maybe it flashes, and sparks arc out and fall to the ground.

Also, DON'T use pixels smaller than the regular size. It makes it look fake.

2- Suika is not a she, he is an Oni. *wink wink*
3- I thought so, but I had to tell you anyway.

 

Looks nice, but a bit excessive. The hat and flashlight aspect is cool enough to me. /shrug

 

Well,...
*takes breath*
I expected something great from you, but you exceeded all my expectations by 218%.
ЭТО ПРОСТО МЕГАКРУТО!!!!!!!
Ahem.
There are some little bugs, but DarthKitten mentioned all of them.
Although it still super-great.

I wish you win.
Row row fight da powah!

 

i love steam punk but this beat all my expectations i almost want you to beat me just so i can use this helm in game

 

I admit defeat. Great work, hope it will be in the game.

 

Excellent presentation good sir >w>

 

Looks like a bit op to me, but the art and sprite is fine.

 

It's not just the animations though.

"2. Hats currently do not function in any way other than look damn good.They are planned on having equipment type effects that can range from defense to maybe passive offense to maybe light sources to maybe condition resistances, whatever we feel we need to put in to make the game fun and enjoyable."
So basically all those functions like cannon generator, shocker, etc. wont be available. ;( Although they could implement them in the future, as stated on points 3 - 5 on the original post, but judging from what the functions are and how many they are, other than the flashlight, i'd say it could be a hazzle.

This doesn't mean it's bad or anything, it just means that all of these things might give the developers a bit of a problem if they decide you the winner. Despite all of that, I think the artwork is very beautiful, the animations are really nice and the pixelart is good! although the pixel hat is kind of cluttered, but that's to be expected when you draw such a detailed hat to begin with. hahah.

Good work and good luck!

 

Man, Reading submissions like this makes me sad that my hat sucks
Awesome job!
I love steampunk

 

This has to win bejeebus nice artwork.

 

Aw jeez, I'd hate to see something that took a lot of effort to do not win. Unless, the winner took more effort to do.

 

I really like how it looks; it's very detailed. But keep in mind the hats have to be cosmetic only.
