In this competition you will try to draw the best Christmas themed drawing in Videomation:
https://www.vizzed.com/play/videomation-nes-online-nintendo-nes-825-game

Every year I have a Christmas drawing competition for a different video game that has some sort of drawing mode. I've run out of unique games to do these for so I have to settle with the last game we have left to do, which is Videomation. This will probably be the toughest drawing game to work with because not only is it for the 8 bit NES (which means there's limited colors) but the game itself also has a lot of limitations.


Rules:
-The drawing needs to be Christmas themed in some way
-No more than 3 submissions per a user
-Be sure to give each of your submissions a title
-You MUST use the Vizzed RGR Plugin to take the screenshots
The Screenshot you submit has to be a screenshot you took with the RGR Plugin and the URL of the image has to be the same url of the image of the screenshot you took, you cannot upload your screenshot somewhere else and use that as your submission, you have to use the actual url of the images that were uploaded when you took the screenshots.


TIP: You can access the menu by pressing select
TIP2: You can change the color palette from the menu


BONUS: If you record a video of yourself making your drawing (to use the RGR Plugin's built in recording, use mednafen, link at the top left of play window) your earnings will be doubled so if you get first for example, you'll get 20,000 Viz instead of 10,000 Viz.


PREVIOUS WINNERS:
This is the 4th Christmas drawing competition, we do 1 every December making it an annual competition. You can see previous winners below:
Art Alive Christmas
ACME Animation Factory
Fun N Games


Prizes:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz

I tried messing around with it just now and wanted to leave a few tips. The controls aren't very hard, but as David said, very limited (especially with keyboard use). One of the things I noticed is that it's -extremely- hard to get your cursor to land where you want it to. If you can't get in a particular spot, try moving the cursor in the opposite axis. For example, if the spot you need to reach is to the left.... don't move left or right. Move up or down, then 'circle around' back to the spot. For some reason, this sometimes let's you reach little spaces you couldn't reach before.

Also, the 'bucket' doesn't work like a traditional bucket. It fills horizontal lines in the empty space you're trying to fill. If you keep the bucket in one place and keep clicking, the horizontal lines will sometimes just keep dropping as though you're adding more paint. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't, so you have to move the bucket up and down to fill an entire space.

Horizontal movement 'loops'. If you are drawing and you meet the right edge of the screen, your cursor will jump to the left side of the screen and keep drawing.

Finally, the only way to move diagonally is to use the tool that helps you draw straight lines.

I have no artistic flair, so hopefully this helps a few of you so that you don't have to experiment a lot. lol

(Selecting the letter options gives various color pallets, but beware... it will change whatever colors are already on the screen, applying the pallet like a theme.)

mourinhosgum : Make sure to double check the rules. You need to have a screenshot of the drawing and you need to post the image url here. The video is just a bonus if you win Viz.

Davideo7 : ooooh a post liked by David? I feel so special. My favorite liked post so far! Thanks for the compliment. I noticed a few other things, but I figured those were the biggest things that might help.

Singelli : Those tips helped A LOT!! Thank you SO much!

And on that note, here's my entry.


And here is the video.

The video I recorded of me drawing this is being processed. This is such a challenge to draw with and I had a LOT of fun! I had never played with Videomation before (I didn't even know it existed!) and I wasn't sure what to expect.

NeppyLeet : That's an awesome drawing! I use to play this game when I was very young so I've known about this game for a long time and I've never come close to drawing anything as good as what you drew. Based on the limitations of the game, that was impressive. It was a huge bonus that you recorded the video, hope to see you submit more drawings to this competition.

Davideo7 : Wow! My goodness! Thank you so much for the compliments! I actually love to draw and I used to play Mario Paint all the time. Perhaps I'll draw another couple of drawings for this contest, since the limit is three. It was a lot of fun, and there's only been one other entry so far....oh, it's only the second, so hopefully, there will be more competition! Hee hee.

Davideo7 : AHHH!!! I look forward to it so much!! In the meantime, I'll see about trying to improve my artwork for Videomation and put up a couple more entries! Probably not today, though, because I want to try my hand at the other contests, also. =)

I'll take a shot at this as soon as I'm done with finals. It seems like an interesting challenge to try to get something to look decent with all of the limitations. Especially with those (absolutely dreadful) color palettes.

Pretty nice artwork so far though. The videos are a fun touch.

I thought I may aswell enter. This picture took me a little while to do and I tried to incorporate some shading, the only problem is that the pallet choices were not the best. Well let's see what you and everyone else thinks about it...
