New Sprite Comp: Fusion Enemies!

Winner: Duckboy


Runner Up: Toni



(Pyramid one being my favorite of those two)

ANYWAY

Okay. My first sprite comp win! Allright, so... Fusion Enemies? HUH?

Well I figured I'd go with something a LITTLE more original than usual. Besides simply doing enemies, or characters, or backgrounds, I figured I'd go with this. FUSION ENEMIES

If anyone has ever seen my Fusion Badniks on SFGHQ, you know what this is. For those who don't, it's really simple. Just take two, or three, or however many enemies you want, and fuse them to make a new enemy.

I'll try to get reference pics of my fusion badniks from SFGHQ to give any of you who DON'T know what I'm talking about some insight.

LET THE FUSING BEGIN!

EDIT: Refrence pics:

WHAT?

Way to make a broad variety. Perhaps you could've said that it was LIMITED to a few things, but this is totally ridiculous.

Oh my gucking Fod I KNEW you would pick this.

Probably because I remembered all your crackheads from SFGHQ. XD

Hmm... Fusion. I could make some pretty scary enemies 0.0;

Anyone could, this makes judging a bit unfair, since the possibilities are seemingly limitless. I mean, doing "Metal Enemies" was bad enough, but Fusion Enemies just breaks that barrier.

Accuracy goes down the porcelain but other than that I don't see what obstructs rating sprites.

I think this is too ridiculous.

That's what makes it fun!

Because you can't compare one to another. At least with other comps you're basically drawing the same thing, with backgrounds they were all backgrounds, each based off your drawing ability, with Koopas they were all Koopas of different shapes and sizes but they WERE all Koopas, but this isn't even drawing your own entry, it's chopping and changing different parts of different enemies to something which isn't even Mario related. There's no skill involved aside from a good imagination, there's no entries which can be compared and cross referenced, there's just no way this competition can be judged properly.

For clearification, are these sprites just edits of official sprites, or do you make original sprites which combine parts of different enemies? If it's the first thing... then this is kinda sucky competition.

NO, NO FREAKIN EDITS

What makes you think this competition would be different than the others? NO, you must draw them yourself. That was the whole point of a sprite comp CORRECT?


EDIT:

YES, Jeff. The second one. NOT the first one.

You rate sprites that way. They have no other sprites to cross-reference. They have no set subjects to draw. And yet they still rate sprites.

It doesn't matter Draco, you can't compare one sprite here to another. Apples and oranges.

Why would you do that? Yes, that sounds stupid. Why do you rate sprites by comparing them to each other? Rate them individually (like you're SUPPOSED to, so you're not a BIASED PRICK) and then compare the end ratings.

OK, here's my entry. Blockmaster Smirnoff, note the Mario & Luigi type gray dots.

You've got no choice but to give this a 10/10 due to the fact it's original and like no other, therefore it cannot possibly be rated lower due to the fact there's nothing to compare it to.

That's the best sprite ever.

That last post cracked me up.

Still, I think we should at least give it a shot and see what happens. It's a unique idea, if nothing else, and I can see the problems associated with it, but there are other factors. I mean, there will still be a quality issue, not everyone is going to have impressive sprites, some people will just take a Koopa Shell and a Blooper and whip something up in five minutes, others will spend more time.

And it will still come down to personal favorites anyway.

I think we should give it a shot, or at least stop flooding the topic with complaints since Duckboy won the sprite comp. You're all entitled to your opinions and everything, and I see some points being made, but this topic is almost ruined right from the start because of this.

Chain-Thwomp ^^

Oh well, I don't care. I'll just keep posting rubbish.
