(Since it seems Chaoxys has wrapped up the voting for #3, I thought it'd be best to take the initiative and post #4 on an even date without waiting any longer.) Congrats to Laki2 for taking the second place on that comp, and to those in the top... Well, actually, to everyone who entered. Be proud of yourselves. XD Hopefully this comp will be a bit more active and we'll have more entries than last time, hm? This theme's branching from another Mario-related series, however not Yoshi. If I told you the series involved bananas, you'd have an easy guess. But it's no croc doing the dirty work this time around. Yep, this theme's challenge is creating [b]custom boss Tiki Taks[/b], like those from Donkey Kong Country Returns! First pick an instrument, and then make it look like a Tiki. Simple enough, right? Rules/Guidelines: - No enemy Tikis. Must be fitting for a boss. - [b]NO electric/technology-based instruments.[/b] You must base your Tiki off of a classic instrument. [i]For example:[/i] Electric guitar = NO / Acoustic guitar = YES. Keyboard = NO / Piano = YES. - [b]The body/face of the Tiki must be made out of wood.[/b] If it doesn't have wood in it, it's not a Tiki. - Do NOT copy the design of an official Tiki Tak. - Do NOT use any of the 8 official instruments (listed below). [url=http://www.mariowiki.com/Tiki_Tak_Tribe]Tiki Tak Tribe[/url] Kalimba Maracas Gong Lute/Banjo Flute/Panflute Xylophone Accordion Drum There are no style limitations, [b]but it must be a sprite[/b]. You don't need to make any animations, but if you do it will only help your chances. You may make more than one Tiki if you wish, but [b]do NOT make more than 3 different Tikis[/b], please. We don't want one contestant hogging all the good instruments. But, it's okay if you end up using the same instrument as someone else, just don't steal designs. That's all I got for you. Go make some Tikis, will ya? After all, a good sprite is like music to my ears... Or eyes... Whatever, it's a music pun. Shut up. Voting starts in [b]two weeks[/b], just like the last one.

This is a fun little idea. I'll pull something together if I get a chance.

Tikis eh? Hmmm, Sure why not, I'll try to throw something nice together.

Can I ask one thing? Who wins the sprite contest, is the person who does the next competition? With their themes? Wow, if I was good on graphics...

[quote="gabrielwoj"]Can I ask one thing? Who wins the sprite contest, is the person who does the next competition? With their themes?

Also, the rules have been updated slightly, so it might not be a bad idea to check over them again.

[img]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4598/tikitakbell.png[/img] I'm going to be doing mine in Bowser's Inside Story. Hopefully I can make more with battle idle animations. For now, this is my first one in overworld style, based off of a bell.

Yes, I did everything in that image.

in the music world, opposite of electric isn't regular, because obviously these days, instruments such as the electric guitar are actually regular - the word you're looking for is acoustic also if anything, a lute or banjo would be more appropriate than a guitar, but that's nitpicking

I had originally written acoustic. It was meant as an example - not overly complicated or anything. So yes, I'm kind of put off that there's only one entry and two responses to it in this topic. Come on all, I really don't want to have to extend this, and it's not like it's a bad idea for a competition.

[img]http://i54.tinypic.com/2v2bjma.jpg[/img] K, It's 5:30 am and I'm tired. If I have a minute I'll change the palette later after some sleep. Also, I tried to base it off of an ocarina but it... well it sucks. Honestly I forgot about this comp up till about an hour ago so I had to rush this a bit, sorry. EDIT- If I had more time I'd try to make it more Tiki-ish, oh well.

No need to rush, you can easily fix it up if you want to. There's four days left, including today (and by the looks of it, the deadline is probably going to be pushed back some anyway). Just a little note, too, Chaoxys - you should add the bottom eyelids and get rid of the eyebrow thingies on the top lids.

Well, as you can obviously tell, this is getting extended. (Like there's any other option at this point.) I'm giving this at least another week until Friday. If needed, maybe two weeks, or until five entries. By the way, disappoint.

Just wanna make sure of something, can I make a blow horn?

If you can somehow incorporate wood or a wood-like substance as the body, then that will be fine.

I made a Bongo boss. I already have a WIP. I just need to shade it in. Might be done by tomorrow. EDIT: [img]http://i55.tinypic.com/noc0ug.png[/img] Done. I failed the Kirby Advanced Style so its my own style, I guess.

It's been forever since I've sprited anything so I figured it was time I dusted off Paint and had a go at it. I hope I'm not too late. I didn't see a final voting topic in this forum or in the Archive. It's a harmonica if you can't tell. [img]http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/562/tikiharmonica.png[/img]
