CHALLENGE: Character Mash-UpChallenge winner Calv challenges you to create a new video game character by melding two or more existing characters together. You can use any character from any game, but be as creative as possible. You can do it as a portrait, a sprite, a scene or however you want. EDIT: If anyone is found using existing sprites and editing them for the challenge, they will be banned. Tracing an existing sprite is also frowned upon and will be considered ripping. Edited edit: now in super large coloured bold words for those who can't read properly :P CHALLENGE RULES

yeah i know but then the character wouldn't be dominant and i don't know how obvious the merge would be. thats why i asked.
Cesque: well one thing i noticed is that the contrast between the red in his eye and the white is way to much. see according to the rest of the image its on i'm guessing the value is about a 15 difference maybe 20 between color tones. (just a guess i might be wrong) so try to stick to that similar contrast value or else it will stick out to much. also maybe trying to Edited by x-death - 16 March 2009 at 9:36pm |

NES game mockup would be fine, so long as you mash up characters and they are present. I'd call that a scene :)

Tried to go for more obscure characters.
Lady Sylvana Windrunner [Warcraft 3] Penitent Engine [Dawn of War : Soulstorm] Very rough at the moment, might not finish in time. Spent most of the time trying to nail the perspective. It's also missing an arm. ![]() Edited by PixelKiwi - 17 March 2009 at 6:45pm |

not sure if Ill have time to finish this for the challange, but heres a quick sketch of my idea. I want to take the most cliche character (mario) but combine him with someone really unlikely, chun li.

![]() Megaman from eponymous series plus Arthur from Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. And i didn't mess the spelling on the fauld, it's going to read ARTU RIUS (latin name) :P. Kiwi - looking greaaaat, i didn't know they had brought in Sisters of Battle to DoW? (they aren't called that anymore but i haven't kept up...). My only concern is that it might end up looking like any othe penitent engine. how about making the machine itself more elfy? (maybe some wooden elements, or vines for cables/tubes...some wisps flying in and around....you know :D). also while you're in the sketch stage, you may want to adjust the balance of it, she's toppling badly atm. edit : it's an awesome original design. I'd like to see someone get that in card and putty for the tabletops :D Edited by Adarias - 18 March 2009 at 11:30am |

Trouble is now you don't really see the ears, because they're lost against the hair. Why not go with my original idea and make hairy ears? Or make the ears black, so they stand out against the blue... or something? Edited by AlexWeldon - 18 March 2009 at 2:53pm |

@alexweldon: i think i'll leave the ear as they are, because they're a really characteristic trait of mickey.
I'll try to use highlights to make them stand more. |

I was planning on saying something, but not 100% sure about who Lemeza was I stopped writing.
Anyway, if I guess it right, he is from some adventure game I really did not like, was japanese, and still have on my computer. Ill take another look.. Found it. I guess it is La Mulana? The game? Anyway, because the style and the colors are so cavestoryish it is very hard to see who he is. You could try and mix up the cavestory style lineart you have now with the la mulana colors. For the rest, I think this one is pretty much finished. You made it yourself quite easy AND limited yourself by doing a character in an existing, working, successful style. Its your decision if you see that as something good or something bad :) |

![]() ^ my WIP. Yes, my handwriting is atrocious. My question is: is it okay if the mashup character only appears in one panel? The full effect wouldn't be there otherwise. Mashup: Pokey from Earthbound and a suprise character to be revealed later. ![]() |
