| Posted by: Yoshbert Aug 18 2009, 05:21 PM |
| First off, I'd like to congratulate 404_not_found for getting second place in the previous competition, as well as SonicProject, Funky, and Flamedragon for getting in the Okay, now for the more important stuff! You know the first two Paper Mario games (and I guess the third as well)? You know those guys that follow Mario around and help him using their useful abilities, like giving info about locations and enemies (Goombario, Goombella), blowing up blockades to move on further (Bombette, Admiral Bobbery), hovering over large gaps to reach items out of reach (Kooper, Koops), and even doing crazy things like lighting up your path in dark rooms (Watt), and hovering across spiky pits (Lakilester and Yoshi Kid)? What do all the names in parentheses have in common? Yep, they're all some of Mario's partners in the previous Paper Mario games. I know I left the Pixls out, so they fit in this category as well. You're probably expecting this to be another character-themed comp, but that's where you're wrong! Which is because the theme for this Sprite Competition is... Making your own Paper Mario partners! RULES: - You can use any species from the Mario universe and turn one of them into a friendly ally for Mario. They're not limited to enemies though, so characters like Toads, Piantas, and even Beanbean Kingdom residents are acceptable. - Be creative! Which means, no yellow-hatted Goombarios and no red Bombettes. You must make your partner have an original flair to him/her. - Your sprite must have at least one animation. - No size limits, but don't go overboard. - No color limits either, but as stated before, don't go overboard. - Your sprites must be usable, for fangames and such. You can even mimic another style if you want. *coughPaperMario64cough* - You can make more than one partner, but as stated twice before, don't go overboard! Voting will start... September 2nd, yeah that sounds nice. You've got roughly two weeks (14 days) to get your entries in! Have fun, and if you don't like this idea, then I'll eat my mustache. |

| Excellent idea, I'll probably whip something up |
| Posted by: Broozer Aug 18 2009, 05:34 PM |
| I've never actually played any games of the Paper Mario series (with the exception of Super Paper Mario, heh), but I guess I will actually give this a shot. |

| Posted by: Glukom Aug 18 2009, 07:52 PM |

| Posted by: LuckyZapper Aug 18 2009, 07:56 PM |
| ooohhh i might enter |
| Posted by: Yoshi340 Aug 18 2009, 09:51 PM |
| I'm not a good spriter, so can I just say what I would do if I could? |
| Posted by: Yak Aug 18 2009, 10:14 PM |
| Hmm.. I might whip something up. |
| Posted by: SonicProject Aug 18 2009, 11:30 PM |
 Please use the above sheet (and maybe the walking animation) for the voting phases. [dohtml]<marquee direction=right scrollamount=2><img src="http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd22/joshuawerner/forum/Tophat.gif"></marquee>[/dohtml] Tophat, Piranha Plant A piranha plant Mario met at a circus or carnival of sorts that is seeking revenge for being sent away by Bowser. It can spit flames! It can grow a bit and allow Mario to reach higher places! The status of the sprite is currently: WIP, but I am posting this to get a placement into the comp if I don't finish this. Just in case the marquee isn't showing:   Still image! |

 Lil' Pixl called sproingy, also thanks to whoever made that High-res spring |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 19 2009, 11:29 AM | ||
why jhave you sprited an enemy. its not limited to enemies! but if youve done an enemie, does that mean pther people can do enemys? |
| Posted by: Jasper17 Aug 19 2009, 11:30 AM | ||
ITS A HELPER bombette was a bob-omb, still a helper :P |
| Posted by: SonicProject Aug 19 2009, 11:33 AM | ||
The helpers in Paper Mario have always been variations of classic enemies. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 19 2009, 11:36 AM | ||
does that mean that we can do the classic enemies? |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Aug 19 2009, 11:37 AM |
| Question: Are we allowed to do the Donkey kong animal helpers as one, i say this because the Donkey kong and Mario universes usually seem to be linked. Or is this limited to mario specific characters? |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Aug 19 2009, 11:39 AM |
| Wow I love the idea for the competition, I expect some good entries. |
| Posted by: SonicProject Aug 19 2009, 11:41 AM | ||
As long as it is done with something original about it. |
| Posted by: OmegaK Aug 19 2009, 11:48 AM | ||
you could make a helper that mario rides. |
| Posted by: Yoshbert Aug 19 2009, 01:16 PM | ||
Just Mario specific characters for this comp. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Aug 19 2009, 01:22 PM | ||
so wait, you just recoloured a spring, and you're entering a compo with it?.... You know that's against the rules right? |
| Posted by: General Aug 19 2009, 01:23 PM |
| Can we have more than one entry? |
| Posted by: Jasper17 Aug 19 2009, 01:25 PM | ||
...... its all custom... but i did edit the big spring from a high res sheet, lemme guess. not allowed then?  |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Aug 19 2009, 01:28 PM | ||
Yes, you have to do everything from scratch. |
| Posted by: Jasper17 Aug 19 2009, 01:29 PM | ||
i'll make the big spring myself then, |
| Posted by: Yoshbert Aug 19 2009, 01:33 PM | ||
Yes. |
| Posted by: Yoshi340 Aug 19 2009, 01:51 PM |
| If I was any good at spriting, I'd make a goomba with a scouter. He'd be able to read the stats of enemys like the goombas of the first two games. And I don't want anyone making any meme jokes! Go ahead and take this if you want. |
| Posted by: Jasper17 Aug 19 2009, 01:52 PM |
finally the finished product, the big one IS custom now, i just looked at the old one as a base to see how it'd look like |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 19 2009, 02:04 PM |
| i have an idea! but first, what do people use to make their gif animations? |
| Posted by: OmegaK Aug 19 2009, 02:05 PM | ||
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=GIF+animator jk use this: http://www.gamani.com/ |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 19 2009, 02:18 PM |
| ok but does anybody know one that's for free and you dont need to buy? or one thats very very cheep that anyone can aford? |
| Posted by: Jazz Aug 19 2009, 02:28 PM |
| oh hey I have an idea for this! |
| Posted by: General Aug 19 2009, 02:29 PM |

| Posted by: Fuzzy Aug 19 2009, 02:36 PM | ||
Not bad but...originality? |

| Posted by: Twistendo Aug 19 2009, 03:29 PM | ||
pffff |
| Posted by: mrmario Aug 19 2009, 03:31 PM |
| What? hes made up of iron balls! Hes basically floating wrecking ball totem. |

| Posted by: General Aug 19 2009, 04:02 PM | ||
You're right, I'll have to make the character design more unique. |
| Posted by: SonicProject Aug 19 2009, 04:18 PM | ||
Final entry. |
| Posted by: Des Aug 19 2009, 04:24 PM | ||
i think itd look cool if you had an animation where he comes out of the hat and puts it on his own head (victory pose?) also entering~ |

| heres my entry: Thwanck the thwomp!  NOTES: The tie is supposed to be covering his mouth when he talks Mario is there as an example of his attacks and animation will be accompanying it later EDIT: why he s following Mario: He was fired by Bowser for talking on the job at several not so serious occasions. Bowser had enough of it and fired him. whith nothing to do, he decided to start his life again but this time, as a buisness manager and door-to-doorman. he wants to get revenge on bowser for how badly he treated the thwomps |
| Posted by: Alex Aug 20 2009, 09:53 AM |
| That's really good, Dragnaut! |
| Posted by: OmegaK Aug 20 2009, 09:54 AM |
| why is he wearing a bra over his eyes |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 09:55 AM | ||
that's his glasses |

| Dragnaut, I'm afraid blurring isn't aloud in sprites. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 09:57 AM |
| oh and peoples, i also had time to do a normal thwomp which is currently Q'd. it should be on the main site shortly Edit: Sword, its not blurred, it looks like that because I used gamemaker to rotate the sprites. and it's done a bad job of it  |
| Posted by: Meteor Magus Aug 20 2009, 10:02 AM |
| I think he means that you have to sprite the rotations yourself, or at least clean up the lineart. I really like the sprites though, and think that it's a good character design. I wish I could sprite that well. Or at all. |
| Posted by: Fez Aug 20 2009, 10:14 AM |
| So dragnaut, that's cool and all, but there are only about 4 different poses for the thwomp. I'd like to see a huge array of faces - hey, you could even have fun with that! Also please eliminate the blurred effects. and the poorly done rotations. You have to rotate it then clean it up after. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 10:15 AM |
| thanks for your coments everyone. i dont know why, but i have this obsession over thwomps. mabey its because they are so dang awesome! |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 10:17 AM | ||
hmm. that could be a little tricky...right, i got an idea |
| Posted by: OmegaK Aug 20 2009, 11:00 AM |
| Well, my honest thoughts are that you should completely reshade it. Pillow shading is an absolute no-no. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 11:26 AM | ||
i didn't pillow shade it! it's called "anti analising" |
| Posted by: Alex Aug 20 2009, 11:27 AM | ||
Anti Aliasing |
| Posted by: The Pyro Aug 20 2009, 11:34 AM | ||
you only put that between corners. What you did is Pillow Shading. |
| Posted by: OmegaK Aug 20 2009, 11:45 AM | ||
No, its pillow shading. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 11:47 AM |
| the next person that's going to post, please dont tell me it's pillow shading. ive already been told 5 times |
| Posted by: The Pyro Aug 20 2009, 11:48 AM |
| It's a fluffy sack used to rest your head on shading. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 11:51 AM | ||
^^ l l I feel like im goona scream if people say that one more time! _ |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 11:56 AM |
| wait... isnt the shading of most paper mario sprites pilow shaded anyway? |
| Posted by: Boomb Aug 20 2009, 11:57 AM | ||
Just fix the shading and it'll be fine. And no. |
| Posted by: Glukom Aug 20 2009, 12:06 PM |
| Dragnaut, the sheet is big, but that's because it's all the same frame rotated a million times. It needs to change a little more than that. |
| Posted by: The Pyro Aug 20 2009, 12:19 PM | ||
half of the time in Paper Mario, you never even see the pillow shading at all. fix that bro |
| Posted by: Yoshi340 Aug 20 2009, 12:19 PM |
| Y'know, I'm gonna see if I can make that goomba I said about earlier! |
| Posted by: SonicProject Aug 20 2009, 12:36 PM | ||
It actually is, but it isn't noticeable at all. Heck it's hardly even noticeable that there is shading at all. |
| Posted by: mrmario Aug 20 2009, 12:47 PM |
| Heres another attack for my partener called irokey, which also serves as a overworld ability. He polishes himself and paralyzes near enemies in the overworld, and in battle, the attack cause damage to all enemies and MAY paralyze them. http://img11.imageshack.us/i/polishanime.gif/ |
| Posted by: Jazz Aug 20 2009, 01:25 PM |
| Dragnaut, your thwomp has pillow shading! |
| Posted by: SonicProject Aug 20 2009, 01:29 PM | ||
Please stop spamming this topic. He acknowledges that it has pillow shading. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 20 2009, 01:33 PM | ||
and people have told me that like 500 TIMES ALREADY! SHEESH I GET IT! MY THWOMP HAS PILLOW SHADING! NOW EVERYBODY SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT IT! edit: i wasn't taling to you sonicproject and all those people that didn't spam this topic |
| Posted by: Yoshi340 Aug 20 2009, 05:23 PM |
 Here's what I've got so far. |
| Posted by: Jasper17 Aug 20 2009, 05:25 PM | ||
errrmm... DBZ goomba? |
| Posted by: Jasper17 Aug 20 2009, 05:26 PM | ||
DOUBLE POST DOH |
| Posted by: Yoshi340 Aug 20 2009, 07:56 PM | ||
Oh, yeah, I decided to expand my idea earlier for having a scouter to also looking like vegeta in a way. |
| Posted by: CaptainSyrup Aug 20 2009, 09:24 PM |
 I used a Bub-ulb. Hopefully that's not breaking the rules. Anyway, this is Buster, a young Bub-ulb that joins mario's team during the Flower Fields saga(Just go with me here.) Buster travels along with Mario in the hopes that he may defeat Huff'n'Puff, and ultimately save Flower Fields from an era of darkness. I haven't worked out attacks yet. C+C please. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 21 2009, 03:38 AM | ||
Gappa: vegoomba, what does the scouter say about that goomba's power level Vegoomba: it's under 1! RUN AWAY! looking good so far! |
| Posted by: RØN Aug 22 2009, 10:09 PM |
 I'm not sure if I'll make battle sprites, but I'm definitely making more of these guys. |

| Awesome! WAAAAYY better then mine! |
| Posted by: Funky Aug 24 2009, 11:55 AM | ||
Do you mean mine? I didn't really put effort into it, this is rushed (15 mins). You can see that the animations are crappy. |
| Posted by: Mecha Aug 24 2009, 12:02 PM | ||
sure it's good, but it's hardly original |
| Posted by: Funky Aug 24 2009, 12:05 PM | ||
I know, I'm lazy And I have no time to think of something good And some TF2 players will hopefully vote for me |

 Gabe, the rebellious, teenaged Spike.  Pidgerry, the workaholic Pidgit.  Trish Kay-bob, the competitive professional eating Kab-omb. I still may make more. |
| Posted by: Big Bang Aug 27 2009, 05:58 PM |
Well, this is my first entry. It's not perfect, but hey, it's my first Paper Mario sprite. This is Thrune, a Bully security guard from Toad Town. He joined Mario to avenge his loved ones, who were captured by Bowser. |
| Posted by: marioforever Aug 27 2009, 07:01 PM |
| I'm not making a sprite because I suck but I have this great idea, Bandy, a female bandit who lives in a city called Kremlick City and steals money to give to her shyguy family. her bro, Bandbro, wants to be like Bandy but is young. In the end, she joins up with Popple(from M&L SS) because he's a bandit also and Mario and co. gets mad at her and she gets mad so Popple and surprisingly Bandy battle Mario as the main boss in Kremlick City. After that she rejoins with Mario because she felt really sorry and gives mario an item your suppose to collect like any other paper mario games but it got stolen! You have to collect it in the next world but you get 2 of them at the same world. |
| Posted by: Yak Aug 28 2009, 09:33 PM | ||
It's amazing how much it looks like those fruit from SMW and MLSS! Great Job! |
| Posted by: Thingy Aug 29 2009, 04:52 AM | ||
You can't enter without a sprite, so that idea is worthless. |
| Posted by: Mecha Aug 29 2009, 05:50 AM | ||
well you won't get MY vote you unoriginal ninny! it's easy, just put a suit on a monster and say he's a bookworm drybones, or a scuba suit on a shyguy and say he's an adventurous out-going shyguy. or maybe a magikoopa with a red cloak and green ey---- ....n/m heck run with it, a dry bones who isn't aware he's already died, heck even better give him glasses and nice clothes and say he was a bookworm so it's funny that the smart guy doesn't know he's dead. |

I knew, an overtalented spriter would come out of the blue and destroy my chances. These rock my socks. @ Mecha: Still, I've had the feeling to sprite something including the scout. |

The only one I don't really like is the goomba, I'm sure you didn't edit one, but it really looks like it. And the shading just isn't as good as it is on the rest of the sprites. Otherwise though you got a fantastic entry, you seem to have Paper Mario style down. |
| Posted by: Weston404 Aug 30 2009, 05:18 AM | ||

this discussion has already taken place |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 31 2009, 08:20 AM |
| Ive made a seond entry! and ive took a rather different aproach...  that's right! i did him in PMTTYD style! he's called Goomdroid and here is is story. he was and ordinary goomba who volantired to be part of an experiment that bowser planned to give a regular goomba robotic hands that could be controlled from it's brain. the plan backfired and the fists went crazy, and caused severe brain damage and the goomba also received several facial injuries. two days later, the goomba recieved an operation to allow him to live. the operation failed. a side operation to try and shape his face took place aswell. they managed to complete it though it's not perfect. they had one option left: robotic enginering. this caused the goomba to live, but bowser asked the doctors to change the operation slightly. he asked them to load him with weapons inside his body, because he would be released in two months, and to be back n the koopa army. two months past, and he didn't join the army. he joined mario to get revenge on bowser! for he never would have been in this state! things you may notice about Goomroid He has no eyebrows he walks like a robot His power is thermal imaging so you can see whats behind walls He stands still most of the time because he is a robot i might have time to fix up thwank EDIT: so you know, i managed to rotate it without the blur! |
| Posted by: OmegaK Aug 31 2009, 11:16 AM |
| Its looks very... rushed. I can still see the 'blur' on the rotations, the palette is very inconsistent, and there are quite a few disappearing outlines. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Aug 31 2009, 11:16 AM |
| Edits much? |
| Posted by: 404_not_found Aug 31 2009, 12:18 PM | ||
 |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Aug 31 2009, 03:19 PM | ||
it's over 9000 XDDD SO FUNE I'm sorry but the hands look alot like edited mario hands, not to mention the fact that they use slightly different colours than the actual body, which im guessing are supposed to be the same colour, which suggest that he just recoloured them. |
| Posted by: DragNaut Aug 31 2009, 03:39 PM | ||
i madfe them myself but i used the hands as a referance. if you put the two together you get a differance EDIT: everybody hates my sprites |

| Posted by: Yoshi340 Sep 1 2009, 08:35 PM |
 My final entry, I don't have a name for him, but I'm pretty sure you can make your own names for him. His can scan an enemy with the scouter to get information about it. |

(Cost: 8 FP) Also, DragNaut, I really am convince that they're edits. It looks like you took Goomba sprites, recolored them using a color editor, and stretched them a bit. And if you used Mario's gloves as reference, it looks like you used them for reference on the pixel level, and that is essentially editing. Some other things look like they have little to no shading, like the fuse or the smoke, which look like they were obviously made by you. I'd also be lying if I said I liked the sheet, because I don't. If you had put effort into the shading of the main body, you would've put effort into the other minor things, which would have required less work to begin with. I'm sorry, but I don't even think these should be allowed in the contest. And I'm sorry if I'm all wrong about this, but the evidence is just staggering. |

Okay, wow. Talk about your last-minute entry... I didn't have time to write up back stories, so I'll just list the names and species... From top to bottom: - Squilt, the kid Wiggler. He's a more mature Squiggler, actually. - Jackaleso, the leader of an Anuboo clan. - Cheerie, the Eerie that is the not-so-fiece rival of Trish Kay-bob. (One of Ron's characters) - Penny, the rich but kind Starbag. (Star Bit Bag from Galaxy, and yeah, she actually holds coins instead of Star Bits, because she's a terrestrial version.) |

I love it. Only thing that bugs me is the wiggler's gloves. I think that the outline is slightly too light. It makes it look pillowed, mainly the one closer to us. Love the various species choices. Also, don't Anuboo's go on all fours? |

Amazing as always.  The Triple Puns They fight together and stick together. Each with different colors making them difficult to hang out with there group. So they decided to form a team. |

| it's final 5 time! now, who's starting the vote? |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey Sep 2 2009, 08:59 AM | ||
Not yet. Look at the time the original post was made. |

edits don't count right |

This one has a staff (Or whatever it's called), which it could lean on |

| To answer your question - No, Anuboos aren't on all fours. You only see the hind legs; it's implied that the front legs/arms are in the blackness somewhere. You can't see them in SS because Anuboo had no shading whatsoever. Squilt's gloves are based on Mario's. If you compare they have the same kind of shading and outline. (Yes, Mario's do actually do appear pillowed...) |

| Posted by: RØN Sep 2 2009, 09:33 PM | ||
No, they don't, that's just what I said. Unless that was something sarcastic implying something about my entry. But anyway, shouldn't the voting start soon? |
