I like it so far, but you'll have to tweak a few things before I can get it in unfortunately:

  • The hat is too dark, if you change it to a lighter shade of grey it will be fine
  • Your sprite needs to be spread across the whole canvas. Adding an extra line of pixels to the hat is probably the easiest way to do this
  • Make the black outline go around the hat's red stripe too
  • Make it transparent


Also I will need the name of your character too :)

Yeah pretty much, the outline around it has to be solid black, but I can add that in for you if you like.

Need a name for this character still too

I know I posted them in the server, but I share them here too. I had so much fun with these fellas and pixel art is a great tool to see digital art under a different perspective:

the

collab

For this collab you will draw a pixel art head of a character of your choice. This little head sprite will then be used in a recreation of an old Mario bros. minigame called "Wanted!". If you're not familiar with this game, here's a youtube video with some gameplay:
The end result should be a more challenging and less repetitive version of the original game. There will also be a gallery feature to showcase all the heads drawn and credit the artists :)

Rules:
In order for the game to actually be fun and balanced, you have to draw your sprite under some specific guidelines. They've been written in full on the discord server, but for the sake of not filling this post with rules, here's a TLDR that covers most bases:
If your sprite breaks too many of these rules I will ask you to adjust/redraw it. Sorry if it's a bit much, but it's crucial for the game to actually be balanced and fun.

Here's some example sprites featuring some Psychonauts characters


Submitting:
I may also open playtesting in the discord server too if you would like to get early access and help me balance the game :D

Nice! I can get Gogo in, but you'll need to change a couple things with the other 2 unfortunately.


Tangy Mustard's eyepatch is too black. The game is on a black background so it just looks like a chunk of their head is missing. If you made it a lighter shade of grey that could be perfect.


Phil Eggtree's head is too small. It will need to stretch across the entire 32x32 canvas so it's the same size as all the other heads in game.

Nice that Newgrounds recognizes pixel art(ists) with a whole day every year.


Here's Fraxinus (OC) for this collaborative game project.

Aseprite seems to be the most popular choice for pixel art, though it is paid.


LibreSprite is an older offshoot of Aseprite for whoever else needs a free option that isn't browser based. It's what I used for my "Wanted" head. The older tutorials apply to LibreSprite, too.

I didn't make their heads stretch the canvas entirely because I wanted to make some room for their hair, and Blossom's bow.

iu_1318186_5640718.png Steve from Tankmen

I wanted to do one more, but I'm not sure who to do! Hope to come up with a cool idea later on. I also made a mockup with these character and sent it to some friends... Finding a Steve in a sea of tankmen really proved to be a devilish task >:)
