Personally, I prefer the glowy-levitative mindpower of PixelBlink over the sluggish form.

Also, the bigger head of the levitating PB looks better, imo.

AND, I love both those animations. Ist's breathing and Art-Kry movement.

Had a go at editing iSTVAN's awesome edit! Then made another expression, cus i was boreed. I also desaturated the colours slightly... although i prefer the older ones i think these fit the PJ sprite better. (perhaps i should get rid of the highlights on his face).



I'm loving all the PixelBlinks! I think iSTVAN's one captures him really well and the animation is really quite amusing and wacky. Krysis' one is awesome too, the idea of him floating with limp legs is quite appealing (although its a hard choice between that and the slugging way). I think however the face could perhaps be given more personality or expression.

The Sedgemonkey is really cool aswel Krysis, i aspecially like the 3rd face (dont know what to call it).

Wh00tzor.

Since there are different versions of certain characters, how about have each different one be displayed in the different versions of the game, (Eg. Java, Flash, C++)?

That would require a lot more work as far as animating them entirely goes, Demon. I don't know how we plan on choosing the boss sprites, but it would be a shame for anyone's work to be wasted.

Yes, I do believe that it would take longer, but it would be a neat feature.

okies.. here's what I think...

Let's go with iST's vein in the head, beathing, and fingers and Krysis' big head version.

I was thinking previously that my character's power would be a telekinetic mind zap so the floating bit works with that in mind. Let's get some motion trail on that glow as well.

I like the monkey Krysis did as well except there was onther done previously that looked alot more like Sedge himself. If we add the head and banana gun of that and the body of Krysis' it would be pure awesomeness

jeez, all of those PBs are awesome, how to decide?
Maybe the head can swell a little as it floats.


Not insinuating anything ;)

Nice idea PB. It would be pretty interesting to see the collaboration of two artists for your character, and THREE for Sedgemonkey. Who's gonna put them all together?

just pointing out (which istivan already did but seems to be
overlooked) as we have differnt enemys lets say we wanted to use
istivans or krysis as a boss the other colould just be a normal enemy
in the world the same with the sedge monkeys the one that isnt used
as a boss can just be a normal enemy.

Sorry if someone else wanted to, i couldnt resist...


I tried to mix the styles... he looks much more ruffed up like this. Eheh.

Perhaps to make him more er.. 'ultimate' he could have a huge arena in which he swings from branches and er.. stuff.

I think we need the missing link between the last two.

I like the body type of the last one but I think the colours work better on the previous ones. Also, let's get the head, arms and tail on the from the second last on to the last version

Ok, so i recoloured the last one, looks better because it actually looks like it evolved from the last, the arms look fine personaly..But it does need a tail, but il let someone more skilled do that lol

Well... what do you guys think? I'm leaning towards number 5 on this one:

I was thinking as well for my guy.. when he builds up to a psy shot:

(rough animation)

Why don't you, on the monkeys have it as all one boss.  So when you defeat the first it evolves into another boss ect ect each getting harder, would make a great end boss..

It might be cool if in every level there is a different form of Sedgemonkey that basically gets defeated by the player until the end where its Sedge's Painforest and the fully evolved Sedgemonkey has an epic dialog about how he has been defeated several times and that this is the last time because he is fully evolved, even beyond the player, or something.

I'm digging the spitting animation, but overall I'm still predisposed to my version of PB. I don't mind which gets used though at this point :)

Heh, that PB looks like my alien from LOOOONG ago, well, the animation at least...

Rather strange, really.
The character is similar, too...perhaps you could use some as a reference for ideas...

I'm sure at some point or another some of you were thinking "Sedge should be throwing bananas"... Or not.:(
But I made a banana peeling, which PJ could slip on, and you know the rest.

"baboy" is Filipino for "pig"
