Sprite competition #161, Bouldergeist

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

Updated, smoothed out the jagged lines.

er

could i use flash for this

Only if you make a mockup battle between my Bouldergeist and Link

Still working on this baby, but uh.
Since he doesn't move, is he allowed to have 4 colors?

you make sprites?

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.

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!

i can try

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.

my entry so far

That's a pretty awesome entry, Des.

Yes, Des. Good show.

But how would that be usable in a mariio game?

Cut scene it kind of looks like it.

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

I wouldn't call it a sprite, Des. Same for one of your last entries, you deliberately do this don't you?

dammit that's hot des

make the boos with it ok

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

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.

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 =}
