T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 02 - Benny Bookworm from Word Rescue [PC - 1992] What a great out-of-the-box suggestion @spacepup! I'm glad you picked a sprite where Benny has some props to make things more interesting, too. [T-Pac] 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 03 - Mina from Mina the Hollower [PC - unreleased] @DarkTone - I didn't look this game up until after I finished the drawing.

ThePhleo | 2,185 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) …..damn it how can I make this difficult. I have to keep the tradition alive! … Player 1 & 2 from Space War You can cheat and look at other screenshots. TECHNICALLY if vector screens still were popular and we made complex games with them today I could fit your sprite limit with an ultra complicated character, and still be 0x0px wide. ..... Bonus points if you make Nerves (Abadox) & Final Form God Kefka (FF6) playing the machine :V ... Bau (Abadox) not needed, but he's probably at home crying for Nerves to come back...

But you always pull out some great obscure stuff on your own, too, so you better make more suggestions! I went for a slick 'Samurai Jack' feel here, which was probably a bit ambitious since I'm still out-of-practice doing long, clean lines with my drawing-pen. But I didn't mess up too bad after all haha. [T-Pac] It's really amazing how you can take such a well known character and make it unique. It also gives me an idea! How about Simon Belmont? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, dude - but I'm making everybody play by the rules this year. Sprites only, 32x32 pixels or less. You're an Astrocade guy, right? Maybe you can find me something good from there.

Before last week, I wasn't aware of The Wings of Madoola either, just saw the Spriters Resource page and thought 'This could be interesting'.

Jeevan | 8,914 Events Helper · Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I don't know how to rip sprites etc. But what about the octopus playable character from parodius da. One of my favorite shmups. If it was suggested or whatever in a previous year, then just ignore me...... Best i could do was snip the gameplay i had up....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if the sprites aren’t exactly to size! 14 hours ago, SNESNESCUBE64 said: I couldn't think of anything so I nominate my boy but baby. You guys are really pushing the rules here, but the last Baby Yoshi sprite is technically in the 32x32 pixel limit, and as far as I can tell, Tonma is exactly 32. So you get a begrudging pass haha. I'll take this as an opportunity to do the same PSA I do every year, though: I honestly appreciate all suggestions, but PLEASE try to keep them in the spirit of what I'm trying to do here: make fun original artwork of sprites that have NEVER been represented as cartoons before. If you can just look at the box-art or do a Google search to see a drawing of the character you picked (or if the sprite is detailed enough to look like a cartoon already) - that takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. Again - I'm happy to have the engagement with my annual silly doodle thread, but it can be frustrating when I get several suggestions that feel like "Hey, you draw? You should draw Sonic." Let's be more creative here - pick stuff that has never ever been seen as anything but a barely-distinguishable sprite. (And a sincere thank-you to everyone who understands the prompt and submits unique stuff - you keep me motivated to keep doing this every year - shoutout to @Link and @AverageOliver98 in particular for really "getting it").

spacepup | 2,405 Administrator · Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I was worried my Benny Bookworm was too stylized already and not in the spirit of what you wanted. The only saving grace I suppose is it's a very random character - although googling now, I can see there are other interpretations, maybe from other source material that the game actually pulled from. Sorry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,545 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) These always impress me every year and thank you for doing them! My request this year is one of the Ice Hockey player sprites. The RBI baseball pitcher you did a few years back was adorable and Id love to see your take on some more generic athlete sprites!
