first off, congrats to [b]Chaoxys[/b] for getting second place, and to [b]Wiwa[/b], [b]DJE[/b], and [b]Morrad[/b] for getting Runner-Up! also lots of thanks to everyone who voted for me, I honestly didn't think I was going to win! anyway, this comp's theme is [b][size=150]Cubic Shapes.[/size][/b] you are allowed to sprite [b]ANY CHARACTER IN THE MARIO UNIVERSE IN A CUSTOM, CUBOID STYLE. NO EDITS.[/b] what I mean by cuboid is something like [b][url=http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/marioandluigi3/bowsermemoryml.png]this[/url][/b], but it doesn't mean you have to make it in the same style as memory M and memory L. you have one week! ready go!

Seems cool! I hope to compete in this one.

I should sprite Bows... Welp I'm out. No but seriously, I may enter if I have the time.

The theme looks nice, I might enter.

sounds really good

Lol @Chaoxys anyway, I can't think of nothin. Maybe I'll go nice and simple with a goomba or sunin edit: *looks at the theme* *looks at mit's avatar* coincidence?

Alright! Awesome! Will make something.

[img]http://i49.tinypic.com/2mzm5pw.png[/img] welp to be honest I don't know where I was going with this but o well [s]am i getting better[/s] Oh hey, about animations, is it against the rule if we use that as our base for the animations? Or do we have to manually redraw each frame?

Welp. I'm gonna get kicked out for sprite overload. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12031030/entrysofar.png[/img] Not happy with the way some of these came out, but others I like.

i did a sprite of cubic shy guy

[quote="Wiiboy4ever"]Oh hey, about animations, is it against the rule if we use that as our base for the animations?

I haven't sprited something "Mario" for a while, so let's take a crack at it. [attachment=0]icture.png[/attachment] I made Blockoomba, Blockshroom (ok that's better than before, Blockroom is a really stupid name) and Block Flower. Yup. What do you guys think about it? And the attachment system makes the picture really blury. I actually did apply anti alaising, and attempted to mimick the Memory M/L style. Oh yeah, and "W.I.P".

im not really sure if multiple sprites are allowed and here is an update of my sprite

In case I decide to enter this... I have one question about it; does the whole sprite need to be made out of block shapes? Or would there be allowance for some other type of shapes, as long as the sprite is still mostly blockish overall?

Yeah, I think you have to choose one character/sprite as your entry. (And I was replying to Game by the way.........)

Everything should be made of a block and not a single line, like you did, and the leafs are way too small and they should be the same size. The eyes and mouth of the Goomba don't look like they should look like, and the shading isn't correct. Also, I can't see any AA.

I made a small entry. Not in ML Style, but in my own style, and I let them look 3d-ish. [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/5mn9k.png[/img] What do you guys think? I personally think the Fire Flower and the Tanooki Leaf don't look that good, but the whole thing turned out pretty good, I think. If I don't update, please use this as my final entry.

I think you should move the goomba's face a pixel to the left.

Djemiegoomba, about your qritique on my sprite, I think you should of looked at the post above yours, Mit confirmed that the thing just had to be blocky overall, there's a little allowance for other shapes. I have also already fixed the eyes.
