While I'm thinking about it: [img]http://i41.tinypic.com/vr6jv9.jpg[/img] My entry so far, although I want to fix it up some more. The idea is that he'd be used in a level where the BG is a waterfall, and from time to time you'd see glowing eyes in the water, after which he'd burst out, jaws snapping.

@Chaoxys - You picked a great animal/sea creature, however you chose to basically hide all of its features that make it so unique. In my opinion I think you should re-sprite your animal/sea creature. This is the perfect chance to practice spriting a creature that has a sort of wavy movement.

Chaoxyz, you didn't answer my question,

I completely agree with you. The issue however will be making it wavy while still going with the idea of it popping out of the BG (since most of his body will be behind his head/in the waterfalls). I may make a biting animation in which he flails a bit, showing more of his body. Or I'll have his body show more as he emerges from the falls... Idk, lots of possibilities, I'll think of something. [quote]Chaoxyz, you didn't answer my question,[/quote] Which one? You asked 3. I'm guessing you mean "So all you want is to redesign a real life animal?"? Well, incase you did, yes, that is the idea. It's just a matter of also making the redsign fit with the Mario world (if you were redesigning something for Resident Evil, you'd make it a zombie, if you were designing it for Kirby, you'd most likely make it more rounded and remove it's legs.)

Uh... well, y'know what? I'm not even going to say I'm participating. Even I go with my bad reputation now! :laugh: I'll just leave you with a maybe. Sorry for any harshness, I didn't mean it that way if it went through that way. :biggrin: If I do join, do mythological creatures count? I'd make a [s]three-headed snake.[/s] Actually, I think that's already been done in Super Mario Bros. 2. EDIT: Wait, I'm pretty sure this is gonna get rejected, but can we reverse this too? Like sprite a goomba as it would look in real life? I shouldn't be asking dumb questions like this... :nope:

Btw Chaoxys, can we now agree that the original pallete is an acceptable entry?

My entry so far: [img]http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1576/mosquitomariospritecomp.png[/img] You can tell it's a mosquito, right?

[quote="Pedigree"]Btw Chaoxys, can we now agree that the original pallete is an acceptable entry?[/quote] Yeah, like I said, the issue I had was that I was expecting large changes, so your subtle alteration caused me to overlook the details that you did change, so the original is fine. @Superdimentio- Looks pretty good. Truth be told, I thought it was a humming bird at first but it's still good.

NOTE: This is my first 99% custom sprite (As I took the teeth from a Poochyena sprite), and I kinda failed, but here it is! A coyote redesigned as an ice enemy in SMB3 style! [img]http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg513/scaled.php?server=513&filename=coyotefail.png&res=medium[/img]

Hey, sorry for asking, but would it be considered cheating to draw next to a piece of art as inspiration for your sprite? EDIT: assuming it isn't, (and if it is, disregard this and I apologize) here's my entry thus far: [img]http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8653/spritecompidkwhatitisno.png[/img] It's supposed to be an elephant. Try not to laugh at it too much.

No, using a reference is fine.

Well, here's my entry: [img]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af94/Reflectah/angler.png[/img] I'd animate it if it wasn't so bad. o_o Basically, it's an angler fish. You can only see the mushroom and a bit of the rod as they glow - however, when you collect the mushroom the fish lights up and tries to eat you.

Should the voting start now?

Yes.
