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.

On the final evo he may develop little secondary teeth-faces over his shoulders or something.

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

A2J2TIWARI:

I think the event says to create three different forms of one boss, not three different bosses.

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

Cool idea Bokeblender.

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

Strangely looks like pokemons to me and where's the 3rd one?

Posted By: adamSrgnt
Date Posted: 20 November 2012 at 3:08pm
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.

some more wip, like a tiki.

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.

Posted By: adamSrgnt
Date Posted: 20 November 2012 at 7:21pm
I think the legs look off because her left leg tapers, but her right does not.  Maybe try to make the calf muscle a little more apparent?  I still think it looks good though.  Nice work.

As for other stages,  I think you should make her gradually more demonic.

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

I am testing out 8bitbeards awesome style and am having tons of fun with it. My boss is a bully that gets older as you do, going from a 7 year old playground bully to a 17 year old classic scumbag to the chunky mean boss who fired you.

Updated WIP for 1st stage

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

Some progress, trying to do something about the appearance of the teeth.

Posted By: schminitz
Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 10:08am
Is it mandatory to give only 3 sprites or can we draw some transitions too?

Posted By: Bokeblender
Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 10:11am

Not as good as some people's, but hey, its worth a shot XD

Posted By: Salomon
Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 10:28am
I like your job Night, it's very realistic.
And good ideas, Bokeblender !

My WIP tonight :

Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 11:50am
Thank you Salomon!  I like tour's but the 1st one's front tentacles look like legs, petrhaps changing the pose would be better?

Posted By: schminitz
Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 11:54am
I see many pokemons here :D Noone can answer my question?

Posted By: Bokeblender
Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 12:28pm
I think it would be mandatory to do 3, just to be safe.

did you stretch it?

Posted By: -ian-
Date Posted: 21 November 2012 at 11:22pm
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

Date Posted: 22 November 2012 at 1:49am
yes, I did,is it against rules?

Posted By: Mr.Fahrenheit
Date Posted: 22 November 2012 at 8:36am
It would look far better if you didnt just stretch it.

Posted By: danilo
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 2:10am
thanks for the comment, but kinda like that repetition :)

Posted By: jeremy
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 3:32am
No, it's just lazy. You haven't cleaned up the lines at all.

Posted By: danilo
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 6:36am
To me its more overall look than cleanings that matters, also details need to be concentrated on certain points of interest so you lead the eye. Just my opinion thought

Posted By: Night
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 6:42am
Some more progress.

Posted By: Bokeblender
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 8:21am
Ugh your colors are awesome Night. I don't have much time, hope I can finish...

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.

Posted By: Bokeblender
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 3:36pm
EH, IDK it looks okay to me. I'll submit it.

Posted By: adamSrgnt
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 4:19pm
Stage 2 down.  On to stage 3.

Posted By: Mamanga
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 5:26pm
Alright, http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k531/Mamangoza/boss-1.png - here 's the second form done. Linked instead of image because there are butts, not sure if that's something that we should be sensitive about (so don't click if you have a butt allergy)
Any thoughts?
Still haven't put much planning into third form.

Posted By: AirStyle
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 5:30pm
So the hands are the people?

Posted By: Mamanga
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 5:32pm
Yep.

Posted By: Mr.Fahrenheit
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 5:50pm


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.

Some things you have to improve:

there is no texture at all.
the creature has 2 legs ( ok ) but this tail is sustaining it? there isn't much strength in it.

This is my progress so far.


Posted By: adamSrgnt
Date Posted: 23 November 2012 at 11:09pm
Should I make the mini guy my stage 1 or continue working on another?  I'm a little concerned that the next iteration may too different from the others.  Any thoughts/advice (I'm going to keep working on it anyway)?

Posted By: danilo
Date Posted: 24 November 2012 at 12:07am
Mr.Fahrenheit: I think all three are nice

Posted By: Lehmure
Date Posted: 24 November 2012 at 5:24am
 Well, i was to make a wizard demon, and this was suppose to be his first form, but now it's the third.

 Maybe i should remove the eyes.

I've been thinking of ways to make it look more like wood... do you think I should try for some planks or something like that?
