CHALLENGE: The Walls Have Ears...

... Literally!
Adarias the winner of the Food Warriors challenges you to create a monster of sorts using a household object as the main inspiration.  Try to think of something original (the killer vaccum has been done guys :P) and pick something totally out there (but still found in many houses).

    Size: 64x64 - 96x96
    Animation: Yus! (4 frame minimum)
    Transparency: If you can make a square canvas into a fluidly animated sprite WITHOUT transparency, you deserve to win hands down!  Otherwise, it's a must.

CHALLENGE AWARDS

The The Walls Have Ears... pixel art challenge is complete and we have three new champions. This week's challenge awards go to the following pieces:



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

It's a machine... it's in the house... so one can only assume, yes. 

Wait...does it have to be a machine?

Ah, okay. Once I finish my dragon I'll get to work.

Well its a challenge, don't enter if you don't want to do the animation but its always good to push yourself into areas you aren't comfortable with. If anything keep it simple and take it one step at a time.

Can we have a background?

My first one... hmmm...  got it! I'm thinking out of the box. Unless you keep your underwear in a box. WIP:
I was thinking of adding hearts or making it blue with lighter blue stripes. Just wondering if any one cares, any suggestions?

Its been a while, I feel like a jerk for leaving the forum.

Just ask the poor lost souls called "married": the most horrid monster is the dreadful howling panshee!

How can I upload my pic?

^I think he wants to know how to post pictures on the forum...

MUGSQUIDz SAYS HI.



WIP obviously.

It never said that household item had to be something used. Dust is lying around the house. Should be accepted if you ask me.

next dumb question wins a free PS3.

I've heard about this one! It's the most dangerous monster ever because it only pretends to be coffe grinder! In fact... It.. Grinds... Human... Flesh!!!

(WIP looks great, just clean the lines and you're ready to color it!)

It's a frying pan, right? :x  *Finished her dust rhino* ^^ I should really not stay up super late, though, to finish a pixel... >.>

Adam, looks awesome. I think it needs one or two more frames to complete the cycle atm though, seems a bit jerky (although i'm not sure it's a big problem as it gives a freaky, ghostly feel).

Htdreams, lush animation, can't wait.

That's cool. :D The eyes/hearts are *creepy*, though, imo. o_O Which is a good thing, I guess?

That looks cool. :3 Is it laughing? I'd make it a little longer (the laughing, even if it's just repeating), otherwise it just seems a bit too short. Nice shading. :)

Hi there!

Adam: i like your color choice, but i think it's moving a bit to fast, may be it would look a bit more creepy if it moved at a slow pace?

I am Uh: nice touch the evil grin :D before that it seemed to be a couch from The Care Bears... The only thing i could comment on is about the shadow, as it laughts the shadow of the armrest also goes up, but as the shadow is over the floor it wouldn't move...

Nomad-4: hehe... that same old telephone pic was one of my previous ideas, but i couldn't imagine how to make it a monster... :)

personaly I like the first one, since it has a cooler animation.

hum... killer lamp?

If you're going to show teeth, make them pointed, I think. A carnivorous couch is much more scary (I think) than a herbivore-couch. ^^
