Congratulations to Littlink on winning the sprite competition #164.
He's allowing me to start this one!

CRAWS

-What is a Craw?
A Craw is a rare enemy in Paper Mario: TTYD.

-Why did you pick him?
The MFGG homepage has a HUGE lack of this character.

-What does he look like?
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5462/gus.png

-What do we need to do?
Create a sheet for your Craw, it must be:
-The official regular Craws and/or Dark Craws.
-Under 125x125, these should be useable in a game.
-Must contain some animation, blinking doesn't count alone.


Good luck on the competition guys, have fun!

Posted by: Omnomlicous Jul 7 2009, 04:17 PM
Heck yes! Craws are overlooked in basically every mario game the deserve their own competition! I'll get to work!

Posted by: Shyguy Grey Jul 7 2009, 04:18 PM
I'm probably entering this mainly cuz I have an idea for a comp I want to try, so I need to win one first.

Posted by: MONEYMAN Jul 7 2009, 04:19 PM
I think I actually might enter this one...

Posted by: Yoshbert Jul 7 2009, 04:42 PM
I'm entering as well. Hopefully I'll actually finish my entry for this one. :x

Wait, when is the deadline? Also:

His idle animation. He does his moving up and down three times then blinks.
(the pointed thing behind him is his spear)

A week from the first post...as always!

Oh hey, this is a cool idea.


I might whip something up.

Just about done, might add another attack. That was quick.

Posted by: Glukom Jul 7 2009, 11:08 PM
No offense, but just because it's a rarely sprited character doesn't mean it's a good comp idea.

To be honest, I don't think this guy is enough to warrant a whole comp. Something like "Paper Mario Exclusive Enemies" or whatever you'd want to call it would at least give us some different looking entries. All we're gonna get here is a million decently made sheets with the same poses and exact same look.

See, that's what makes it fun. Besides just being a good spriter, you ave to think of something original to do that will make it stand out from the rest of them.

Trust me, nothing's gonna stand out here. And I'm not saying it's not possible to make something different, but it won't happen.

I love character exclusive competitions. I don't know if I'll enter this one though, don't think I could pull of the character.

Stop complaining about it, i you don't like the competition then go win one and make your own idea you like. If you can't do that you may as well not enter.

If that were the competition's subject, the Craws still would not have many sheets on the site. You don't have to enter if you don't want to.

Well put it this way, the site is a resource for mario fangames and such. A user may eventually want to use an enemy like craw and not be able to use it, since it's not there.

Posted by: 404_not_found Jul 8 2009, 12:44 PM
Theres many missing Monsters,Bosses and characters.
But its cool to make contest of craws

Posted by: Glukom Jul 8 2009, 12:48 PM
Also, is it ok if we change the color scheme around a little? The only two actual Craw characters I can find are Gus and dark craw, there's no middle, or no "basic" craw.

Whos that?

Posted by: Joe Inky Jul 8 2009, 02:12 PM
Its a craw, they dont have to be the exact same as the reference image, they just have to be part of the craw species.


EDIT: afaik anyway

Posted by: Mr.Marth Jul 8 2009, 02:36 PM
I might give it ago, these guys need to be pixeled, but again I'm not an overly huge fan of these guys.

at first glance I assumed it was meant to be Yoshi's Safari. It's not bad. But it ain't prefect. Keep at it.

I don't know, I gestured this in a few minutes. I may actually clean the lines, correct the big heads beaak, add some color and make it look somewhat decent. But again, this character doesn't overly interest me, and pixels are mind numbingly dull.user posted image
MIND YOU THIS IS A WIP.

Posted by: seldeslim Jul 11 2009, 03:22 PM

no, the ones that don't have enough are just disqualified from the competition.

Posted by: MONEYMAN Jul 16 2009, 06:23 PM
Is it OK if I make an official voting topic, cuz this has gotton to be a mess cuz people voted for sprites that were not qualified?

No.


Then we can't determine who really made it.




Rules like these are broken all the time. Just let it go.

Posted by: Yak Jul 17 2009, 05:49 AM
If we do pull those sprites out,
there will only be six allowable entries.

so don't bother.

Posted by: Wolfgator Jul 17 2009, 06:32 AM
I say we continue.

Posted by: Wolfgator Jul 17 2009, 10:21 PM
Sorry for the double, shouldn't this be ending soon?

Yeah I was just about to say...
but that would leave a bunch of ties.

Posted by: Black Boo Jul 17 2009, 11:57 PM
Y'know, I totally forgot about this. That's why mine wasn't animated.

Whatever. SOMEONE needs to make a new topic.

Posted by: Bip Jul 18 2009, 12:18 AM
correct me if im wrong but the scores are:
jazz: 4
yoshbert: 4
mirror: 2
MONEYMAN: 0
404: 0
sgg: 5
bb: 5
yak: 3
bwario: 4
flamedragon: 1
bip: 4
wolfgator: 5


this could be helpfull to the person holding the topic.

Posted by: Fuzzy Jul 18 2009, 01:24 AM
Not really much to this compo due to the lack of animations. Not sure what happens in the event of incomplete entries.

If they're incomplete they're usually not put in the voting.

Not sure how many entries that would leave right now, but this comp has been going on for way too long. If there are only a few complete entries I say just make a final vote with them.

Posted by: Fuzzy Jul 18 2009, 01:33 AM
But that wasn't the point of the competition, any compo that I start is with the intention of filling the site with sprite sheets, not just static images.
So in conclusion, most entries can't make it to the final, and do we even have 5 entries that are animated, not including simple blinking animation.

Forgive any typos also, getting late.

Posted by: Yak Jul 18 2009, 03:01 AM
Fine, I am sorry for ruining this ompetition fuzzy and everyone else.
So, should we grab the 6 allegible entries and skip to the final voting?

Posted by: Wolfgator Jul 18 2009, 04:17 AM
Yeah, do that.

But the entry with the least votes out of the 6 is out.

Posted by: Yak Jul 18 2009, 05:18 AM
fine then, Fuzzy, make the next topic if you, want or I could do it...

Posted by: Wolfgator Jul 18 2009, 06:02 AM
You may as well, Fuzzy isn't on and where behind.
