Sprite Competition #145: Buzzy Beetles, TOP 5 VOTING HAS BEGUN

Congrats to Black Boo for getting Runner-Up, and to the other Top-Fivers.


I think there was a very early competition with the same subject as this one, but competitions have been repeated before and there's mostly different people competing nowadays, so...


This comp is about Buzzy Beetles and their relatives.

Buzzy Beetles, of course, look like this:

SMB version
NSMB version
Paper version


Relatives include:

• Buster Beetles
  
• Spike Tops
  
• Bony Beetles
  
• Para-Beetles

There are, of course, other relatives existing, but they must be pretty obviously related to Buzzy Beetles. (I would not consider Spinies or Battle Beetles to be related to them.)


Top 5 Voting begins at this same time of day, 7 days from today. In my timezone that's September 29, 1:30 PM.


EDIT: Standard Sprite Comp rules apply.

This means:

- More than one frame
- No edits

I guess I should have made that clear from the start.

Here's my finished entry(For all you complainers about how small my stuff is, I decided to do something a bit bigger):

had a go at doing them in cavestory style
just need to find more types of buzzy to do

You should make the background grey, it complements Cave Story style more.

I'ma try this. I loved the Buzzy Beetles from PM:TTYD.

ok then i added some new ones aswell
i'll probably change the style before the comp ends theyre not exactly going to win imo

I love the shininess on the shield

they're the best kind imo

that's part of why I picked this

Same as in any other "character comp" without special rules - sprite the designated character, in accordance with standard Sprite Comp rules (which apply unless the creator gives other restrictions or declares that some restrictions need not apply).

IIRC the last comp had practically no rules because that's what the creator said. But in this one, the same rules as in the above link apply.

Sorry to double-post, but I edited the first post for purposes of clarity, since I didn't indicate at first that the comp was to abide by the standard rules, which many members may not know about or may have forgotten.

The most important two aspects of those rules for this comp are:

- Have more than one frame for your entry.
- No edits (though people probably knew that one already).

Would it count if I added a shell pose(Unless you mean it has to be animated D:)?

I'd prefer it if people did animations, and I guess it originally was meant to be a requirement, but I guess I'll allow just single out-of-shell and in-shell poses (totaling two poses for each type of enemy sprited), so that more people might feel like entering.

So yeah, I suppose that could count.

I'll probably enter this. Do we need to have a spritesheet or an animation?

Either one. See my above posts.

Meh. I'll just skip the koopa I'm working on and try to whip something up. :P

Aw yeah, I'm defiantly entering!
