I am going to pitch in early here. First, I like the challenge, but man, it's really skating a line to have to make it all original pixels when you are asking us to take an existing character. I am specifically going to reference this Venom Sprite:  Let's see if I can squeeze the time in for this... |

| I didn't intend for people to just modify an existing sprite. I was hoping people would get creative and make a new sprite based off the original. |

I was thinking of a character that isn't pixeled, but fully cgi to start with.
Maby Kerrigan from StarCraft or Wirt from Diablo.

 (so not done) "Okay, I let you replace me, SD me, completely f**k up my anatomy, but the hair?" guile was the best in snk vs capcom for ngpc. the best. updated some, and  ->  updated again, lowered the saturation, got rid of some colors, gave him a mesh shirt and here is a younger version :p  (okay so his biceps aren't bigger than his head as they are in-game but still) ------------- http://sj-gfx.com">

Mobichan, I don't think anyone is misunderstanding your intention here. It says specifically new pixels, so (time allowing) that's what I and others will provide.

Badass, Setz. B) Mine so far;  Although it may look like an edit at the moment, I can assure you it isn't. I merely wanted to get the shape of the head/ face similar so it is recognisable. Update:  ------------- |

nice challenge! Can the Punisher be used? I was thinking (and actually working on that) to give him an aged look |

hey guise, just remember there's http://www.rajeun.net/signs.html - more to aging than gray hair. Just thought i'd mention that. Try to be creative. ------------- |

@Skull: nice one.. a Ray-Charles-Sagat ;) @Metaru: I don't understand your statement on making "everything cheaper". Anyway, The Punisher was my favourite "fighting game" on the Mega Drive. :) sincerely I picked up him, because I know more on his background that could lead me to something "interesting" to draw, than any other character I had in mind... hope this will not put me out, cause I'm quite finished with it :P |

(how can you pixel on that neon green o.x) also, about beat em ups, while they're not VS fighting games, if anyone has ever played one, there is defenitely a sh*t load of fight to them. I say make it anyways, even if its decided its not appropriate to the competition, I'm not really sure if that guile of mine qualifies. At best, you'll have a good entry for the competition, at worst, you'll have a good entry in your pixel joint gallery :) [edit: hey skull I thought of the http://live2travel.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/arnoldbodybuildingbeforeafter.jpg - perfect ref for ya :D] ------------- http://sj-gfx.com">

Here it is my not-yet-final Punisher version. I decided to depict him in an always-(trying to)-fight-the-crime pose, but maybe I didn't succeed in the sprite reproduction: I'actually quite unsure to remove the background providing a backgroundless version. Suggestions?  |

I'd insist: larger pants D: and if you're planning to follow the original sprite's style, i reccomend you to avoid the dithering. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

sigh, Skull I know you can do better than this ;_; To start off with, the pose looks like he'll fall over. You know you should start with the general shape, and refine. I know this has been mentioned already...but sadly it's pretty much always true. It's hard to have good anatomy if you're just making it as you go. Personally, I don't think you should submit this, it's below the standards you've set for yourself, based on your gallery. On a side note...I like the mini version on the top of the picture. ------------- |
