Ok so I thought that a thread specifically designed for the bosses would be good.
Soo...

That's a good idea, I like it.
Oh, I attempted to start a shark that was sort of the same shape and size as the hero...

It sucks, I know.

@ Krysis - all needed or available details are on this topic, may be down the list some. <3 the shark, tho the "fingers" look wierd on a shark.

Shark Attack:

 

White shark; good "Shark" shark; Evil "Shark" shark; Brian the great thinking of sushi;

I'm loving Brian and the tank.

Just the head so far. This is his 'cool' expression, of course. I shall make an evil one sometime. Oh yes, and i'm working on a body now. Do you think he looks too humanlike? Used the face pallette from sedge's self-portrayal thingey.


 
Update: added 2 more expressions...
Hmm, the colours seem a tad too bright and saturated in comparison to the mascot...
Aregh hum... i think i might stick to doing lil sprites...

I edited the front post with everyones creations.

I'm liking it iSTVAN. :]


I put all the creations next to the hero so we could get a feel for the style.

Maybe PB could be a floating boss?
Like he's psycic or something.

Or he just floats due to space.

>:]
Great minds think alike?

I had an idea for Dr. Automation's sprite.
We should have the default evil scientist type look.

Dr. Neo Cortex:


Eggman?:


Dr. Willy:

Awesome. He should have a little beard + glasses combo or something.

Then he'd look EXACTLY like PB.

Updated first post.

Lol iSTVAN, that body is great. I was thinking of redoing the angry/evil faces again (although basically the same style) so i may update sometime.

Updated the first post with your edit of Sedge iSTVAN. :]

Thanks PB. Just about to start work on your guy's revised sprite.

I've been thinking more about my 'world,' and although I know we'd like to concentrate on Sedges, Sharks and Brian's worlds at the moment, I thought I'd share my ideas with you while I had them.

The world would be a sort of 'Cartoony' universe where piano's drop from the sky, super thugs and heroes exist amongst cutesy cartoon characters. I'm thinking like the 'toon world' in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' only with a greater focus on Super Heroes. The standard backdrop would be a busy city street. So you could have everyone from run of the mill robbers to 'top cat' like alley cats as enemies- just to add variety.

So there'd be a focus on shops and cars and other urban waste land crap for the backgrounds (which would be new for the game) and also give artists a bit of freedom with their enemy sprites. I know the original three worlds were chosen because they acted as a good starting point and their subject matter easily controlled (jungle, ice, underwater) so hopefully this clears atleast a couple of things up about my world.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the alien world, plenty of cool chances for wicked sprites there.

............................................................ .......................................................

Between starting and finishing this post I drew two new versions of PB's boss character, minus the flying saucer (I still think a flying saucer would make a good weapon at one stage):

 (<And with head phones)

Im not sure if i can post here with suggestions or whatever or if its just for staff, but ive worked on a few games..and i agree the tentacles aren't working..

What about long stick thin legs, 2 of them..But when he walks he walks kinda of wierd, or with a limp to give some character to the boss..

Im also liking the head fones =P

I say, slug body, and long spindly fingers (basically like the current ones but with more of a normal hand form). I liked the idea of him being in the little spaceship, perhaps there could be 2 fights, one in the ship and then it gets destroyed and so one after.

Make them stumps so he can wiggle them intimidatigly.

they don't have to look terribly menacing you know. All the bosses are friendly characters kidnapped from the city and brainwashed into their evil forms.

Anyways, I kinda liked the fingers you had eariler. The slug body looks more like a leaf right now though. Feel free to bulk him up and give him some glutinous form.

It's getting there dude... I can feel it! Let him be weird.

Thanks Pixelblink.

I decided to go full weird ahead and have a bit of fun animating the baby. He breathes and stretches and wiggles and pouts and goggles and stresses, all important characteristics of PB. Probably too much going on for a regular animation, but it was fun playing with the character.

Awesome animation!

Well, I'm at work and I have nothing better to do than mess around trying to draw sprites... So I thought I'd try making Sedge's face using his picture as reference. Turned out close enough to the real thing, so I submit it.

 EDIT: This is pretty much what I have in mind:

Hmmm, i like the animation especially the vein in the head but its deffinately to fast id say, also he breathes in to much..im loving the finger animations though they certainely rock..lol

Upto know im liking the krysis big head and stump legs looks more life like and intresting id say..

got bored and so made this edit/animation of Krysis pixelblink
