Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

A new and original, so I guess it has to be a new make up

Not silly at all and looking great already.
Perhaps the best way to show evolution for this guy is to focus mostly on the teeth. baby teeth > adult teeth > mutant teeth or something like that??? The teeth seem like the same on all 3 now and that's the focus feature...just a thought.

Just trying something different. This time my concept is nature.

When its colored and textured, hoping to get a "tribal" look.

Are we allowed to put the boss in it's enviornment?

My Wip :


ALIEN FOOOORCE o/

The first little guy was just my rough idea.  The second one is the real 1st stage.  The stuff to the side is other ideas for mouth and eyes.

I plan to make each stage increasingly badass.  From cute to a worthy 3rd stage boss.

Hello good peoples of pixel joint! This is a WIP, any thoughts? The legs are bugging me for some reason, I can't seem to get them right.
Haven't put much thought into second and third stages yet.

I'm anticipating a lot of Pokemon type submissions this week.

Updated WIP for 1st stage

I think the one on the right has some character and is looking a lot less Super Meat Boy.

Is it mandatory to give only 3 sprites or can we draw some transitions too?

I like your job Night, it's very realistic.
And good ideas, Bokeblender !

My WIP tonight :

I see many pokemons here :D Noone can answer my question?

Hello, my name is Danilo here is my entry, hope you like it

Awesome stuff so far, everyone! Salomon, I love yours, that's the type of stuff I wish I could come up with :P Here's my first form, it needs some more work but I think I better move on to the next forms. Crits appreciated :)

Dark Magus: 1st Form

Meant to be viewed at 2X or 3X

It would look far better if you didnt just stretch it.

No, it's just lazy. You haven't cleaned up the lines at all.

Some more progress.

I'm realy exited to see the big one finished

I don,t really like your wood texture (If it's what you really want). You could work more on it.

Stage 2 down.  On to stage 3.

So the hands are the people?

I'm wondering, can have something like the names above each character or is it strictly the sprites? Also c+c please. Mainly on the third form I am not too pleased with him.

This is my progress so far.
