[b]This ends on the 14th of August, which is two weeks from now.[/b] Have fun bros, don't forget about having fun.

HOW COULD YOU FORGET CLAWGRIP AAARRGGHHH Anyways, I think contestants should also be able to design their own crab things, like a Crab power-up.

I believe I may finally have found the inspiration that I was looking for! Let's see if I can't make a Clawgrip and a Huckit Crab...

I knew I was forgetting something.[/quote] You also forgot Hermie III from M&L:SS[/quote] I just remembered that I was doing it so that there was no inclusion of bosses, and then I remembered that clawgrip is a boss which is why i didn't add him. I need to think things through more

Here's a 100% custom chuckit-thingy. [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/211s2h4.png[/img] ....I don't know how I feel about this. I guess it's not too bad. =| Maybe I'll improve it and add a rock thing later. edit: constructive criticism is welcome :)

[img]http://i47.tinypic.com/5al0ts.png[/img] sheet's done. i'll add animations later

Still a work in progress, but here's my Clawgrip. [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/30vlpaa.png[/img] EDIT: I think I need to make his body larger... EDIT2: Here we are again... [img]http://i46.tinypic.com/9qihr8.png[/img] Maybe I'll just go with the small one.

Quick Crabber sprite (doesn't really look like Crabber but i like him like that) : [img]http://i.imgur.com/fspsx.png[/img] And you forgot about [url=http://www.mariowiki.com/Snaps]Snap[/url] and [url=http://www.mariowiki.com/Pinchley]Pinchley[/url]

[img]http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z472/Goombaking123/Clawgrip.png[/img] Argh! You'll make a tasty treat!

Why are there [s]2[/s] 3 primary lightsources on it? Edit: Just noticed the 3rd one, that's in the middle. Edit 2: The dithering doesn't really look good on it, you should try normal shading on it. TBH Dithering seems like a failed attempt at shading in general, there are a few exceptions to this though.

I don't know if is this a sprite or a pixel art, but.... [img]http://s12.postimage.org/qf60c1eh5/Huckit_Crab.png[/img]

I finally have some time off of work, sounds like a good enough reason to sprite a whole mess of enemies. If I have time that is.

[img]http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z472/Goombaking123/Clawgrip-1.png[/img] Here's my (failed) attempt at making Clawgrip better. I'll probably work on it. Edit: [img]http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z472/Goombaking123/Clawgrip-3.png[/img] Eh. :\

I tried, I failed, I gave up. I made a pointless post

[quote="RootKernel"]I tried, I failed, I gave up.[/quote] I'm sorry, you forgot "I made a pointless post" at the end, as well.
