Probably about 2 1/2 hours. I drew it in the default palette which was about as close as I could get to the original. Pretty much impossible to do muted tones in Videomation, of course. I think the red and flashing palettes are the most striking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and I'll even dare to say that there's something about the flashing palette that express, in an unexpected way, the psychological affect of the original painting. You really pushed the limits of the game with that one man, that's crazy good! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nesmaster14 | 435 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Was working on one this morning, though realized I accidentally turned off TV before I got to finish it. Had the AVS plugged into TV, which powered off system when TV shut off. For the title, I'll borrow from JamesRobot's quote about art "Videomation is Fleeting" 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the flashing colors really added to the overall feel of it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without diminishing the talent and work of those that posted great drawings, we announced it as a special contest with no point toward leaderboard during a break week, so we'll have to stick to that by principle. This said, I'm still entertaining the idea to give some kind of 'extra' reward tied to this contest, so we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not give everyone who participated some points so they all move up compared to the people who didn't participate? Just the same amount of points across the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t expect a participation point just for drawing a line. But alas, @guillavoie is right. They announced a while back that it was gonna be worth zero points. So there’s that. Congrats @JamesRobot for winning this week 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the same amount of points across the board. Like I said, it was announced as such all along, and we had reasons to do so. This was a totally new idea for the NES Weekly contest, so we handled it as an experiment. First, while ranking drawings could have been possible with a set of principles based on a judging process, we didn't feel to go for it as it would have been drastically different to how we usually deal with video game contest. Giving a flat number of points for participation would have come with problems too, as @Richardhead pointed out. We didn't want to prompt a bunch of low effort submissions just to get the points. We wanted it to be a 'special' contest, but we couldn't predetermined the overall response. Now, given how well this turned out, we're open to think of a special way to award the best submission(s), something different than some generic contest points so to say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
