[i]-TOPIC IS MADE WITH PERMISSION-[/i] I'd like to congratulate Tobie and the three who participated in the last competition (one being me). [center]Now let's all get to your assignment! Presenting the theme for this competition *drumroll*: [size=200][b]A MINION'S BOSS[/b][/size][/center] Your job is to create a minion's boss by taking out a generic Mario enemy and using its species to make a Leader Boss (as suggested by Chaoxys). For example, you get a regular Goomba and make it into a larger one with Boss-y features. [b]Rules/Guidelines:[/b] • No pre-made sprites. All sprites and submissions should be made within the competition period. • 8-bit or 16-bit can do. No drawings, all pixels should be made one by one, or filled up using fill bucket when lineart is done. • You may make bosses that is already an official boss of a Mario enemy just as long as their looks/concept are different. • Be as creative as you can. No one says a boss has to be bigger than Mario or is bigger than the enemy itself. • Make sure it actually looks like a BOSS. • Have fun! There aren't any style limitations, but it has to be a sprite. Animation isn't necessary but it will higher your chances of winning. You maymake more than 1 minion-to-boss sprite. Also, it has to be a Mario enemy, not from other games. The leader boss you do must be based from an official Mario enemy and should not look the same if it has an official one. This ends on August 20, 2011, which is two weeks from now! START and GOOD LUCK!

This is a great choice! I'm starting this right now! :biggrin:

Ok then!

Well, I'm glad this is underway. Since the time period is two weeks, I'll enter too.

I just just [i]might[/i] entter this. I'm not in no way a good spriter, but I may be able to dish up something considering we haw two weeks.

Does Dogu count as an enemy? I mean he was the final rival in Wrecking Crew 98, so it seems like he should count.

Does G&WG4 styled sprites count as 32-bit?

I don't really know what he means by "8-bit" and "16-bit" anyway :/

Double post: Here's my (shameless and reprehensible) wip: [img]http://i51.tinypic.com/2cwv0hg.png[/img] Flighty Piranha He flies around and drops eggs. They hatch into mini-piranhas. He can also swoop down at you and bite you.

Can you have more than one enemy as the boss?
