First of all, thank you kremling for hosting the previous competition. After thinking about a broad theme, I came up with: [u]Redesigning aspects of a mario game to suit a horror/creepy/disturbing setting[/u] It can be a powerup, a main character, an enemy or even a background as long as it's disturbing in some way. I have a plethora of examples (Warning! Some contain slight gore): [url]http://thedarkcloak.deviantart.com/art/You-Got-Piranha-in-your-Pipes-108577257?q=boost%3Apopular%20scary%20mario&qo=34[/url] [url]http://carsoda.deviantart.com/art/Boo-148717268?q=boost%3Apopular%20scary%20mario&qo=41[/url] [url]http://d-mac.deviantart.com/art/Shyguy-67144993?q=boost%3Apopular%20creepy%20mario&qo=43[/url] [url]http://frank-cadillac.deviantart.com/art/Zombie-Mario-322531797?q=boost%3Apopular%20scary%20mario&qo=9[/url] [url]http://pixelatedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/102.jpg[/url] [url]http://0.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/54/81/130fa4ceb10aab4b57682dcaeb17ba79-the-real-super-mario.jpg[/url] They don't all have to be gritty, gory or realistic to be disturbing. Sometimes something "cute" with contrasting features can do the trick too. For example: a normal, everyday super mushroom - yet it has eyes instead of spots on its cap. The competition will end on October 13th but I don't mind if it needs to be extended. If I missed anything or if you have any questions feel free to ask. Hopefully all will go well, cheers. :D *EDIT* Gore is allowed, I was just suggesting that it doesn't HAVE to be gory if you have other ideas.

Really? Not even one reply :(

I was thinking to enter with my horrible art skill. And, you should PM an admin: VinnyVideo or Guinea to pin this topic.

Awesome. Can't wait for the others.

BOO!... yeah I was bored... [img]http://oi47.tinypic.com/2qw0v1d.jpg[/img]

That's okay, I didn't feel like sleeping tonight anyway.

Awesome! I still don't know how to add textures like that and I'm using Adobe Fireworks.

[quote="supernova"]Awesome! I still don't know how to add textures like that and I'm using Adobe Fireworks.[/quote] It's just photoshop. I just put a texture of metal over the top of the whole image and set the blending to overlay or colour dodge or something like that. I can't really remember.

Alright, there's clearly a lack of interest here :S so I guess supernova's entry is the winner by default! [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/30201a1.jpg[/img] Congratulations!

Congrats supernova!

Thanks to you all. Nearly forget about it. I'm gonna set up the next competition.
