Wip.
Colors from Link and Onox sheets on TSR. Took me a good...half hour.
...now that I look at him, I think he's too small...I'll compare him to Digdogger and get back to you on that.

| Congrats to Wolfgator for winning the last one, plus all those who entered. Wolfgator is having problems with mfgg, so I'm making the competition. If he dislikes it, I will change it. He also gave me permission to do this. Due to complaints about the last idea, we are now doing bouldergeist (from SMG) Rules: Don't go wild with colours Suitable size Must be usable in a game I think we will wrap this up in a little more than a week, the 28th. GO! Refrences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqn4zsuwttU skip to about 4:30 to see him in action |

| Sounds slightly obscure but maybe I'll enter. |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 19 2009, 11:00 AM |
| Oh my god. Tilesets AGAIN. We have been having way too many background/tileset competitions, and worst of all, they're incredibly boring. Why can't we do undersea enemies, or characters from the deep dark galaxy, or SOMETHING that has nothing to do with backgrounds |
| Posted by: Buggo Apr 19 2009, 11:05 AM | ||
I guess you could include enemies with the tileset. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 11:37 AM |
| Alright, Deep dark Galaxy in general. Enemies, tilesets, bosses, whatever. |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 19 2009, 11:37 AM | ||
I agree here entirely. I'm getting sick of waiting for a new original sprite compo. what happened to my suggestion of M&L enemies, NSMB bosses and Paper Mario characters? |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 11:40 AM |
| Alright... Bouldergeist! Yes! what do you guys think? wait... he hasn't been done before has he? |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 19 2009, 11:41 AM | ||
no. and your gonna have to post a reference too for people who never seen bouldergeist before. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 11:43 AM | ||
no to what? the idea? or that it hasn't been done before? |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 19 2009, 11:45 AM | ||
it has not been done before. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 19 2009, 11:49 AM |
| Heh. This'll be gooooooood! One LOZ boss, comin right up! |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 11:50 AM |
| BTW, out of curiosity, am I allowed to enter this one? I didn't win the last one... |
| Posted by: Demonlemon Apr 19 2009, 11:53 AM | ||
yes |
| Posted by: M. Bison Apr 19 2009, 11:53 AM | ||
I think that the maker of the comp isn't allowed to enter, regardless of their placing in the previous comp. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 11:54 AM |
| Is that because they don't want them to cheat by already having something done, or something like that? |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 19 2009, 12:01 PM | ||
Topic creators have always been allowed to enter their own comp, but if they win they don't make the next one. I think those were the rules. |
| Posted by: Alex Apr 19 2009, 12:01 PM | ||
Everyone is allowed to enter every competition. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 19 2009, 12:36 PM |
| Topic maker can enter, but if they acheive victory, they may not start the next one. IN OTHER NEWS Wip. Colors from Link and Onox sheets on TSR. Took me a good...half hour. ...now that I look at him, I think he's too small...I'll compare him to Digdogger and get back to you on that. |
| Posted by: OrangeNova Apr 19 2009, 12:53 PM |
| Goddamn people, let the person pick what they want, you win the Sprite compo to have the right to make it what you want it to be. If you want it to be something else GET BETTER AND WIN and until then, Suck it up. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 19 2009, 01:13 PM |
asfasdf someone stop me. I'm having too much fun. Should I give Bouldergeist side and back poses as well? |
| Posted by: Flamedragon Apr 19 2009, 01:51 PM |
| I have to win this one.. I really got this great idea for the next competition idea but I never win to show it. |
| Posted by: crazy70 Apr 19 2009, 02:55 PM |
| I'm definitely going to enter |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 19 2009, 03:02 PM |
| Will the bomb boo count in the entry? Since it's key to beat him. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 03:37 PM |
| While yes, Fuzzy, they count, you must make more than just them. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 19 2009, 03:43 PM | ||
Obviously, this will take a while since I'm making him in a certain N64 Game style. |
| Posted by: SuperMarioMaster Apr 19 2009, 03:57 PM | ||
Yes |

| I GET IT. : D |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 19 2009, 05:03 PM |
 Mario Land 2 style. I tried Paper Mario style but he's just too big, and no colors fit him correctly. EDIT: It's a WIP btw. not done |

| Oh god what did you guys do to bouldergeist, he has like downs syndrome |
| Posted by: Demonlemon Apr 19 2009, 07:55 PM |
| great job crazy |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 19 2009, 08:01 PM |
| I like this one better tbh. |
| Posted by: crazy70 Apr 19 2009, 08:24 PM | ||
thanks |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 08:29 PM |
| Right then... mine's freaky... I'm redoing it... |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 19 2009, 08:29 PM |
| Oh, and for anyone that says mine's too small, here's a comparison with Digdogger. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 08:32 PM |
| BB, I actually like it. it makes it more original than everyone doing the same thing. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 19 2009, 08:40 PM |
| It's just for clarification purposes. God the hands'll be hard...  |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 19 2009, 08:43 PM | ||
all of the entries are original what are you talking about. each of them follows a different style. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 19 2009, 08:45 PM |
| Yup, and please take time on your entries or don't enter at all guys. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 08:48 PM | ||
I meant it was in a totally different style. Ahh, much better now, only the eyes look bad.  |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 19 2009, 08:56 PM | ||
That doesn't change what you said man. The eyes are still wierd looking. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 19 2009, 08:57 PM |
| What? anyways, I realize the eyes look like crap, I'm deciding how to do them. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 20 2009, 05:42 PM | ||
I THINK he's saying that mine stand out the most. |
| Posted by: crazy70 Apr 20 2009, 06:18 PM |
Update~ PS- I'll be working on the hands, rocks, special effects(like smoke), etc. I probably won't make the Bomb Boo, but meh. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 20 2009, 06:25 PM | ||
but its so tiny, your style is lovely, why must you hide it D: |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 20 2009, 07:25 PM |
| I've tried to make it bigger and failed epicly. Sorry...;-; |
| Posted by: Badassbill Apr 21 2009, 07:33 AM |
 Pokémon style. Will probably animate later. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 21 2009, 08:11 AM | ||
Holy crap man. WHY must you be so good?!?! BTW, seriously, animate this, otherwise it wouldn't count, which would be horrible... |
| Posted by: Comrade Kesha Apr 21 2009, 08:26 AM | ||
It doesn't say anything about animations in the rules |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 21 2009, 08:45 AM |
| ANIMATE. IT IS WIN. I think Fez says that it needs to be usable in a game. |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 21 2009, 11:07 AM | ||
you shouldnt count >( your a spriter for several video games! |
| Posted by: Funky Apr 21 2009, 12:17 PM | ||
At comps I've already entered and got first things down epic guys like him join and make it impossible to win for everybody btw I'll go to my room now CRYING |
| Posted by: Fender Apr 21 2009, 02:18 PM | ||
this looks great BAB bonus points if you included animations for rock throw or stuff like that. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 21 2009, 03:01 PM | ||
Wait wait wait...what games? |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 21 2009, 03:32 PM | ||
fuck fuck damnit damnit but how would this be useful to the site... |
| Posted by: Pikax Apr 21 2009, 03:40 PM | ||
We already have pokemon-style sprites on the site. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 21 2009, 03:43 PM | ||
thats terrible, when would those ever be used |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 21 2009, 03:45 PM | ||
Cavestory for wiiware and mecha wars for wiiware |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 21 2009, 04:16 PM |
| NO HE SHOULD NOT COUNT. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 21 2009, 04:21 PM | ||
EC anyone? |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey Apr 21 2009, 04:29 PM |
| Knock it off you guys. Anyone can enter these and you're only making yourselves look bad by saying otherwise. If you think you don't have a chance cuz someones better, then practice and stop crying. No ones going to hand you a free 1st place badge, you have to earn it and you can't ban someone from a comp just to make it easier for you. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 21 2009, 04:38 PM | ||
most were sarcasm btw, thanks |
| Posted by: Flamedragon Apr 21 2009, 05:03 PM | ||
Oh.. god this.. is freakin epic. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey Apr 21 2009, 05:20 PM | ||
With what I've seen in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. |
| Posted by: OSM Apr 21 2009, 05:22 PM |
| you still haven't helped me make sonic blue why is he green help plz |
| Posted by: Badassbill Apr 21 2009, 05:25 PM |
| Guys, guys! Don't worry about it. You're all just going to vote for your friends anyway. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 21 2009, 05:37 PM | ||
Dude, what? We vote for the best entry, at least I do. |
| Posted by: Starpower Apr 21 2009, 06:29 PM | ||
Omg.  I love you for this BAB(non homosexually btw :P). |
| Posted by: Omnomlicous Apr 21 2009, 06:29 PM | ||
Just when I was getting confident this comes around. Curses. |
| Posted by: crazy70 Apr 21 2009, 06:54 PM |
Another update |
| Posted by: Fender Apr 21 2009, 07:21 PM | ||
people always try and make sonic and mario cross over fan games. i'm sure it could be used in a mario and pokemon cross over fan game. |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 21 2009, 07:34 PM |
| To be honest I think Badassbill's is fantastic, i'd use it in a minigame or something if I could. I might try enter this, got me a bunch of references, and an idea. We'll see how I go. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 07:39 PM | ||
thank you for saying this i on the other hand love you in the most homo way possible :B |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 21 2009, 07:41 PM |
| I'm not gonna say it's pixel art because it's small enough and versatile enough to be useable in my opinion. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 07:52 PM |
| now my question if a sprite is the size and style of a metal slug boss, it is technically still usable in a metal slug game right? |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 21 2009, 07:54 PM | ||
metal slug galaxy? |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 21 2009, 07:55 PM | ||
The guidelines for sprites in a sprite competition have been covered time and time again and i'm pretty sure you know those rules. I'll just link to this vaulted topic http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=189442 |
| Posted by: crazy70 Apr 21 2009, 08:42 PM |
Updated, smoothed out the jagged lines. |
| Posted by: LuigiFan Apr 21 2009, 08:51 PM |
| er could i use flash for this |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 21 2009, 08:58 PM |
| |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 21 2009, 09:07 PM |
 Still working on this baby, but uh. Since he doesn't move, is he allowed to have 4 colors? |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 21 2009, 09:35 PM | ||
you make sprites? |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 21 2009, 09:40 PM |
Well, you gotta HAND it to me, I HANDled the hands well. Though I hate side poses...but on the other HAND, the backs were easy. Betcha can't guess my update based on what's above the sheet!~ Note: The second and third hands in each row are not the fists, they're just other frames for idle poses. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 21 2009, 09:46 PM |
| Looks cool, BB. On a side note, if you don't wish to submit a spritesheet, you can turn it into an animation!!! as long as it has attacks, plus a fight and destroyed posses. FUN! |
| Posted by: LuigiFan Apr 21 2009, 09:59 PM | ||
i can try |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 21 2009, 10:04 PM | ||
I wouldn't use Flash - vector programs like that can't do pixel by pixel very well. And even if you have an addon or something, you'd probably be better off just using Paint. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 10:04 PM |
my entry so far  |
| Posted by: General Apr 21 2009, 10:11 PM | ||
That's a pretty awesome entry, Des. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 21 2009, 10:18 PM |
| Yes, Des. Good show. But how would that be usable in a mariio game? |
| Posted by: Flamedragon Apr 21 2009, 10:19 PM | ||
Cut scene it kind of looks like it. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 10:21 PM | ||
my question is how a zelda styled mario enemy would be used in a MARIO game whatever your answer is just replace zelda with metal slug and that will be my answer |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 21 2009, 10:23 PM |
| I wouldn't call it a sprite, Des. Same for one of your last entries, you deliberately do this don't you? |
| Posted by: Bacteriophage Apr 21 2009, 10:24 PM |
| dammit that's hot des make the boos with it ok |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 10:25 PM |
| i like to think of it as a boss graphic also i read those rules and it said sprites are pixel art! so the reverse should be try if i do animate it |
| Posted by: General Apr 21 2009, 10:26 PM | ||
Depends on your definition of sprite. The original poster did not specify a certain size, pallette restriction or art style. Sprites from a broad plain view are simply pieces of pixelized art. |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 21 2009, 10:28 PM |
| Whatever you say, I just say it's a load and i'll still say it's not a sprite. I'll just not vote for it as a rule =} |
| Posted by: Bacteriophage Apr 21 2009, 10:29 PM | ||
Please limit yourself to that and don't complain to everyone who disagrees. I, and many others, believe it's a sprite. Play Metal Slug. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 10:29 PM |
| also this is pretty big for a sprite mario game wise http://spriters-resource.com/snes/smariorpg/exor.png and no i dont do this deliberately, i just aim too big :\ |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 21 2009, 10:32 PM | ||
I've played Metal Slug, the sprites are great, and so are the animated pixel art bosses. This is a sprite competition though, so the latter doesn't seem fitting. Also that Exor sheet, i'd not say it's a sprite either as it's pre-rendered. What'd stop me making something in 3D and rendering it out and calling it a sprite if that was the case? |
| Posted by: Des Apr 21 2009, 10:44 PM |
| ok next time someone makes a contest just please make a damn size restriction so i can avoid this garbage |
| Posted by: Bacteriophage Apr 21 2009, 11:09 PM | ||
>and so are the animated pixel art bosses. So if it's animated and made of pixels, it's a sprite. Unless it's animated pixel art. Right. In the time period where your standard for "Mario sprites" comes from, the screen resolution of the NES and SNES is 256x224. My monitor's resolution is 1680x1050. As screens get bigger and resolutions get sharper, sprites inevitably get bigger. This isn't 1990. Big sprites are okay. |
| Posted by: Badassbill Apr 22 2009, 12:49 AM |
| Des, I like your sprite, but it doesn't in the least resemble Metal Slug style. It looks like a pumped up Disgaea sprite or something idk. |
| Posted by: Shawn Apr 22 2009, 06:14 AM |
| for a forum of people who can barely sprite, you people are bigger nazis than pixelation about this shit |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 22 2009, 06:22 AM |
| @shawn lol @des Great sprite it'd be cool if you added some little animations and such, it kinda reminds me of noitu love 2's style. It'd be neat to see a mario game in that style. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 06:30 AM | ||
yeah, i just used the pallette tbh metal slug was only going to my arguement for the size so it really has no true game style, unless you count its disgaeaness |
| Posted by: Comrade Kesha Apr 22 2009, 06:50 AM | ||
True story. I'd like to see bigger sprites making more appearances in these competitions. There's a lot more you can do with them, I'm tired of the same old microscopic graphics that are pretty much useless for a PC game without resizing. |
| Posted by: Nystre Apr 22 2009, 06:50 AM |
| BaB I am pretty sure his point was that some games, like Metal Slug, have xbox hueg bosses that animate rather fluidly it doesn't have to be a specific style just fuck some games have huge sprites okay >:|||| |
| Posted by: Comrade Kesha Apr 22 2009, 07:23 AM |
| if a sprite isn't breaking the rules, there's no reason to complain if you want some crazy rules, win the competition, you can make your own but the rules are whatever are in the first post, so stop crying and trying to force what you think the sprites should be on people |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 22 2009, 08:39 AM |
| It' good. It counts. There, you happpy now? You want proof? watch the video again. Do you see how small mario is?  Mario might even be smaller than the lowest horizontal line. The thing is, Bouldergeist is actually huge, just Des was the only person to make him. I"m even gonna remake mine after looking at this. |
| Posted by: OmegaK Apr 22 2009, 10:16 AM | ||

yeh huh uh.... I think im gonna drop out now... |
| Posted by: Fender Apr 22 2009, 03:05 PM |
| des that is beautiful. and i can definitely see it being used in a game. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 04:15 PM | ||||
yeah my fault really im in the process of metal slug stylin it now |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Apr 22 2009, 04:45 PM |
| Guy's just because des posted a really good entry (:3) doesnt mean that he is going to win, if you people spent half the time you spent crying about it on spriting, and had some faith in your own ability, then you could come up with something that looks just as good. I mirrored the hand because im too tired to make another one, and if youre thinking its meant to be in mario and luigi style because of the AA, its not, it just looks alot better like that. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 22 2009, 04:48 PM |
| Joe, gimme a high five. Those two have probably been working with Paint for YEARS, as have I. So quit blubbering. If anything, practice rather than blubber. |
| Posted by: Demonlemon Apr 22 2009, 04:59 PM | ||
but I love your sprites :< |
| Posted by: OmegaK Apr 22 2009, 05:01 PM | ||
You should try to add some form of rock-like texture (not sure if you were going to). Also I'll get on steam asap but my computer seems to be having problem after problem, don't forget about me.  |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 22 2009, 05:15 PM | ||
actually most of the time the really good sprite wins regardless of how many poses this other sheet has. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 05:22 PM |
| not true i lost the last compo with a pixel art with a cheap aniamtion to a well animated smaller, good sprite |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 22 2009, 05:59 PM |
anyways final entry. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 22 2009, 06:14 PM |
| Jazz, your bomb boos look a bit flat. I'll get back to work on mine... |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 22 2009, 06:52 PM |
| jazz, you need to make mario in that style D: anyways great entries so far guys EDIT: Continuing my entry.  |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 22 2009, 07:30 PM | ||
This, it quite often happens. Also, while Des has gone and made an amazing sprite, it's gonna be a real bugger to animate, and I'm also not sure where BaB is gonna go with his entry. While branching out into other styles is good, it also makes it more difficult. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 22 2009, 07:34 PM |
Gonna add the bomb boos sooner or later. And I'll make a mock up battle. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 07:35 PM |
 probably just going to make the eyes do the squinty thing plus the hand clenching |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 22 2009, 07:36 PM |
| Ho. Ly. ****. Des, that is EPIC. I don't care if you only squint the eyes, do SOMETHING. |
| Posted by: Flamedragon Apr 22 2009, 07:58 PM |
Mm.. I'm going too redo it again. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 22 2009, 08:01 PM | ||
What changed man? also make the bomb boo and ilu |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 22 2009, 08:02 PM |
| Des's looks a lot like a portrait in an arcade game... but cooler. |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 22 2009, 08:12 PM |
| I don't complain because I feel threatened. It just feels dishonest, like I could draw any random picture in photoshop, call it a sprite and say "yeah it could be from a Mario storybook game" or something random. I won't dispute that it looks great, it does, but spriting feels like it should be about squeezing detail out of every pixel in a small space, not making a big impressive picture. My opinion though and i'll respect others from now on. I'm entering though. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 08:15 PM |
| i do it in paint and dammit if i dont get down and aa and pixel all my shit one pixel by one |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 22 2009, 08:20 PM |
| Alright well it's awesome then, I concede. If I ever win one though, expect some dimension limits to be set =P |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 08:24 PM |
| hell if I win im setting some dimensions this is getting ridiculous!!!!!!!! :VVVVVVV |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 22 2009, 08:24 PM | ||
High 5 man! Everyone else switches to fancy programs, but paint is good enough for me too! |
| Posted by: Des Apr 22 2009, 08:25 PM |
| im just too used to it :v id would probably help to have some layers though lol |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 22 2009, 08:45 PM | ||
mario would have to look like a peanut to be done in that style compared to bouldergeist. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 22 2009, 08:48 PM | ||
mmm yeah mmm small mario?  |
| Posted by: CeeY Apr 22 2009, 10:03 PM | ||
Great job so far! |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 22 2009, 10:05 PM |
| When I enter a sprite competition, I always keep in mind "this will be going to the main site for someone to use in a fangame". All I can say for Des is looks great, but good luck finishing it and its animations on time. Oh yeah, and I'm entering, too.  still a big WIP |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 22 2009, 11:46 PM |
My entry, it's all part of the one entry. Supposed to be M&L boss fight style Animated with hands  The inner bit  Stages of destruction |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Apr 23 2009, 03:26 PM |

good competition |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 23 2009, 04:52 PM |
| Loving what I'm seeing so far from all of you guys. I wish I could've entered this one, but I'm too busy. |
| Posted by: 404_not_found Apr 24 2009, 12:28 AM | ||
btw. This not look like ml style. |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 24 2009, 01:36 AM |
| The style may be wrong, but the movement is nice and fluid, especially on the true form. Nice job, Redux. |
| Posted by: mirror Apr 24 2009, 03:44 AM | ||
I think it isn't meant to be M&L, but sort of like the view and size. |
| Posted by: Wolfgator Apr 24 2009, 04:12 AM |
| Wow, i back. This is a really good theme and i love the entries! |
| Posted by: CeeY Apr 24 2009, 06:35 AM | ||
Heh, thats awesome :] |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 24 2009, 09:31 AM | ||
Good, I wasn't sure if you'd approve. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Apr 24 2009, 10:37 AM |
 More done. Whih is better, the thicker outline or the thinner one. Huff n puff and tubba blubba there merely for size comparison. |
| Posted by: Demonlemon Apr 24 2009, 10:40 AM |
| thicker because it matches the style better |

| Posted by: Redux Apr 24 2009, 08:33 PM | ||
I was mainly going for view, size and animation style, not the colouring style itself though I did borrow the fake antialiasing thing a little to smooth some bits, saying it was M&L style was probably innacurate. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 24 2009, 08:58 PM |
| I think Imma gonna abandon all hope now. ...or just throw together some mockup battle. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 24 2009, 09:23 PM |
 The bg's by Biggoron on TSR. This is a small style comparison/demo. Hopefully his weakness is obvious. ...and I just realized I forgot to lock the doors.  ...it should be fixed now. |
| Posted by: Omnomlicous Apr 25 2009, 01:06 PM |
| after seeing all these good entries I'm not sure mine is worth finishing. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 25 2009, 03:15 PM | ||
That's the only way to get better though, just keep trying and never give up. |
| Posted by: Omnomlicous Apr 25 2009, 05:38 PM | ||
Thanks but I'm not sure it's even that useful of a sheet. I guess I'll submit it anyway. |
| Posted by: CaptainSyrup Apr 25 2009, 09:38 PM |
 My entry. Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on it some more. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Apr 26 2009, 01:35 PM |
| hey captain syrup, its an interesting style but bouldergeist seems to be way out of proportion when compared to the bomb boos. |
| Posted by: CeeY Apr 26 2009, 05:31 PM | ||
I like the idea of an RPG style there. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Apr 26 2009, 07:08 PM |
| Don't you mean Zelda style? |
| Posted by: Badassbill Apr 26 2009, 08:22 PM |
 Added a quick battle entrance animation. |

| This comp is producing some incredibly impressive stuff |
| Posted by: ClownMan Apr 26 2009, 08:49 PM |
 I started my entry, wip obviously. I think the most "useable" sprite would be a generic one that can fit in with many styles, which sums up this sprite. Also the sheet is going to similar to WhamBam Rock, from KSS, with the body in the background and the hands in the foreground. |
| Posted by: Badassbill Apr 26 2009, 09:40 PM |
| Why does everyone keep giving him sharp and pointy teeth? They're clearly flat in the video. |
| Posted by: ClownMan Apr 26 2009, 10:15 PM | ||
they look cooler in my opinion  |
| Posted by: Bacteriophage Apr 26 2009, 11:23 PM | ||
Why is everyone entering this one? |
| Posted by: InsertNameHere Apr 27 2009, 12:02 AM |
There's too many good entries in this comp. I'll enter anyway, even though my chances right now are about a million-to-one. This isn't even near completion yet. Expect a large update ASAP. |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 27 2009, 01:19 AM |
| Mine is still heavily in progress, but I have final exams starting Tuesday. I don't know if I'll get to finish everything I planned, but I'll at least after I study. I might even work on it some the morning of the 28th if I need to, before my exam, but that's cutting it rather close. Either way, I'll be posting whatever I have done Monday night. @Phage: Because it's Bouldergeist.  |
| Posted by: Black Squirrel Apr 27 2009, 02:23 AM | ||
to make up for barely anyone entering the backgrounds one |
| Posted by: Funky Apr 27 2009, 09:52 AM | ||
Oh yeah fuck this Funky guy with his fresh ideas Fuck him Let's all draw drybones for the +8000th time we need no backgrounds J/k Honestly, everybody just want's to win and make a new competition. Nobody has fun spriting Bouldergeist. This is just what I've thought |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 27 2009, 10:05 AM |
| The background thing was a good idea, but unfortunately, most people would rather draw animation frames for characters than make single giant 200x200-520x520 landscape images. I'm actually surprised BaB didn't enter that one instead of this one. And I'm having a great time spriting Bouldergeist. ^_^; |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 27 2009, 11:05 AM | ||
are you kidding? I enjoyed spriting Bouldergeist considering its one of the few boss characters out there with left to no sprites. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Apr 27 2009, 02:56 PM |
| I personally enjoyed spriting bouldergeist because it was the best boss out of galaxy imo, plus the fact that bouldergeist was one of my first sprites, so i wanted to see how much ive improved from that god awful pillow shaded rock copy and pasted into the shape of bouldergeist. anyway.  |
| Posted by: 404_not_found Apr 27 2009, 03:20 PM |
| TOO BIG HANDS! Can you make little bit smaller? Plz, mesos plox? |
| Posted by: OmegaK Apr 27 2009, 03:36 PM | ||
If spriting bouldergeist isn't enjoyable, yet the competition has many entries - then just imagine what spriting backgrounds must be like  |
| Posted by: Omnomlicous Apr 27 2009, 06:54 PM |
| Well here be my entry sorry about the size and the fact that the animations are lazy cut and pastes.  |
| Posted by: Demonlemon Apr 27 2009, 07:46 PM |
| wow there are some pretty amazing entries for this one |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 27 2009, 08:57 PM | ||
uh whoa, thats pretty unique |
| Posted by: Omnomlicous Apr 27 2009, 09:31 PM | ||

| Posted by: InsertNameHere Apr 27 2009, 11:47 PM |
I barely had any time today to work on this but I have my final entry ready. It got rushed near the end but it has almost everything (except the arms ) |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 28 2009, 12:03 AM |
Like I said, here is what I have so far, but I still want to work on it. This is just in case someone gets impatient and starts the top 5 early in the day. I'm going to try and add more (stalagmites, hand) in the morning before my exam and afterwards if I have the time. Note that the smoke was just pasted on in the example for a quick idea. I'll post a better example with properly faded smoke effects in the morning as well. Once again, this does not mean I am fully ready. I would appreciate it if you did not start the Top 5 until later in the evening. |

| Chirai I dont think that you'll have enough time :/ Speaking of time~ Can we get an extension on this? Just one or two days? I'm sure alot of members would benefit from abit more time.  I still need to make more hand poses, stalagmites, bomb boo's, the smoke, etc. |
| Posted by: Funky Apr 28 2009, 12:15 PM | ||
I'm pretty much fucked. I'm out guise. |

Excellent, probably one of the best sheets you've ever made :] |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 28 2009, 03:14 PM | ||
It got resized, you need to fix that. And the flipped hands really bring it down. |
| Posted by: Alex Apr 28 2009, 03:16 PM | ||
I think that there should be some kind of thick "inner outline", if you understand what I mean, between the fingers, as they are a bit hard to see. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 28 2009, 05:22 PM |
| Hustle guys! one day left! It ends in exactly one day. soo... 5:30 on whatever time mfgg uses. |

| Posted by: Fez Apr 28 2009, 09:22 PM |
| BTW, peardian, would you just like an extension until thursday night? There are still some entries out there that don't count yet, by the way. They have no animations. |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 28 2009, 09:23 PM |
| Animations weren't part of the rules you set... and I don't think it's fair to extend competitions either. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 28 2009, 09:25 PM |
| Must be usable in a game is the same thing. I mean, you can't use a stationary sprite. Besides, I've said it at least 5 times. Your entry still counts though. |
| Posted by: Jazz Apr 28 2009, 09:33 PM |
| so...top 5 time? |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 28 2009, 09:37 PM | ||
I thought "useable in a game" meant just.. not outrageously huge or something like that. Or in the style of a particular game etc. |
| Posted by: Des Apr 28 2009, 09:42 PM |
| I woulndt mind an extension im so close i can taste it |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 28 2009, 10:41 PM | ||
Except you can and every game with sprites does |
| Posted by: Des Apr 28 2009, 10:54 PM |
| glukom i wouldnt consider a boss character a stationary sprite also ugh my entry   as every good artist i hate this and especially its animation i will never attempt such a large animated sprite ever again and you know never gets old. spriting the SAME damn rock texture over and over again oh well despite its suckiness it is done. this is my entry. do with it what you will. |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 29 2009, 01:29 AM |
| Yes, an extension to Thursday night would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to even touch my sprites all day because of taking/preparing for exams and stuff. Plus, I'm sure a few others would like it as well. |
| Posted by: Redux Apr 29 2009, 01:35 AM |

| Posted by: Alex Apr 29 2009, 01:46 AM | ||
I actually like it. The animation could be smoother, though. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 29 2009, 09:03 AM |
| COMP IS BEING EXTENDED TO THURSDAY AT 8:00 MFGG TIME. |
| Posted by: Black Squirrel Apr 29 2009, 09:10 AM |
| Normally sprite competitions are only extended if there aren't enough entries. There seems to be plenty here. |
| Posted by: Harley Quinn Apr 29 2009, 05:12 PM | ||
Dear lord... you have progressed so much. i remember when you started that Paper mario world or something when I first joined and I was amazed at the time that you made those sprites. But now... My god you have just gotten So good.  And even though as an artist you may be dissapointed with this I really really like it. Also if the conversation is still happening... this is a sprite |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 29 2009, 06:12 PM |
| Though the sprite is very impressive, the animation could use work. Because it's so large, you need more frames to make it more fluid. The 7-pixel jump is very noticeable compared to the small 1-pixel move in the previous frame. By the way, still working on my entry, but here are the better pre-assembled poses I mentioned.   |
| Posted by: Des Apr 29 2009, 07:06 PM |
| redid the animation a smidge. [see da last post i made] also Harley, unfortunately i think youve got the wrong guy, ive never worked with paper mario as far as i know :v |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 29 2009, 07:46 PM |
| ANd..... Nevermind... |
| Posted by: Peardian Apr 29 2009, 07:50 PM |
Also, that animation is a lot better, Des. |
| Posted by: Fez Apr 29 2009, 07:52 PM |
| Oh, sorry, I knew that. I had a really long day like you wouldn't believe. |
| Posted by: ClownMan Apr 30 2009, 06:53 PM |

| Posted by: Peardian Apr 30 2009, 06:59 PM |
Totally not cutting it close.  Due to time constraints, I had to make his fingers like Wham Bam Rock's instead of what I originally planned (see box). Fingers were kinda quickly put together. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Apr 30 2009, 07:04 PM | ||
Your style is so dark, I love it. |
| Posted by: Glukom Apr 30 2009, 07:44 PM | ||
Original Final Fantasy games had no animations at all for any enemy. But that isn't the point, I'm just saying that there shouldn't be any rule that makes you need an animation. |
