Are all your submissions in? Today is the last day!

welp mines in.

[Bralbaard]

It's been seven days since the start of this round. Here's a quick overview of the different submissions. Not many submissions, but they were of high quality, so still a difficult choice.

Spoiler: Tise Mucousdungs (click to show/hide)

         

Awesome idea to make a tile-sized sprite for mucousdungs, and for a mite it still is of towering height.

Great pixelwork, and very creepy.

This is the Second time this has happened Urist! jeez!

haha! also, did he already lose his other hand in a similar incident?

So a difficult choice indeed. I really like Wierds submission. Clearly a lot of work went into that, and its excellent pixel work. But because it's an original idea to actually make a tile set compatible graphic, and because its high quality sprite work I choose Wannabehero. Too bad graphics can't really be linked to specific forgotten beasts in game. Maybe this could be used by someone to mod in a giant mite creature?

Also, Wannabehero did not yet submit a suggestion for a FB. We'll need to wait until he does before we can start the next round.

Contacted him for a beastie request!

woohoo!

Slick! New beast time!

I really wanted to do an overkill pixel work backdrop for said giant bug, but my employer has been utilizing 100% of my time lately with endless piles of work to get done.

(And believe it or not, Mucousdungs only took an hour to doodle in. Large creature sprites are a lot easier to make than quality 16x16 sprites. I agree with your choice, it's a fabulous tileset sprite.)

Large creature sprites are a lot easier to make than quality 16x16 sprites.

really i never would guessed that. i suck at any form of pixeling.

the sprites i make/made for the games i made are either so basic they look like a 2 year old drew them
or i just drew them in photoshop or something then scale them to sprite size

ninjaedit: @Bralbaard yes thats what i was going for with his other hand

[wierd]

With a 16x16 sprite (8x16 sprite is worse!) Every last pixel counts. A single pixel out of place will look garish.  A large creature sprite is far more forgiving.

oooh that makes sense!

Oh and i never complimented your beast! It was really creepy and gothic looking; reminded me heavily of castlevania! I loved it.

what happens if he doesnt give us a beast?

[CognitiveDissonance]

what happens if he doesnt give us a beast?

Current options are:
- Use another beastie recently suggested
- I will find a Community beast, as those tend to come with really interesting stories

If that sounds reasonable, I will start looking into options in 12-24 hours.

[Ameablable]

zzweet can't wait to get d-rawr-ing

[wierd]

Me either!

On a semi-related thought, I have made a thread in the creative projects subforum, based on a personal larger scale project I want to undertake.

To make the most od things, in relation to the personal project, I will limit my submissions to 128x128 sprites, possibly with animations. If you want something specific as a sprite in that formfactor, drop a reply in that thread!

/shameless plug.

Pity that I was too busy to actually finish the mite. Here is what I had before I ran out of time.

Oh man, I wish you would have had a chance to finish that. That is amazing.

Anyways, I sent a last-minute reminder to Wannabehero. In less than 10 hours, I'll put up several options for a quick 2-day vote.

If you are searching for a beast, i posted some week ago (actually, it's the first drawing of this new post, made by Darkerdark, the March 25, 2013, 09:17:00 pm) a quite long story of an epic fight between an elf and a FB.
