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


Hooray, working with pixels again! Since Hank, Doc, and Deimos were took, I decided to draw Sanford (I tried to make it more brutal somehow)

Please read the rules before you submit!


There is a Google doc linked in the first post that contains characters people have already drawn, Boyfriend being one of them, so I cannot accept them. Your sprite also has to be 32x32.

Piskel is also another free pixel art software

Thanks! Never heard of it. I will try it.


Link for the curious—


https://www.piskelapp.com/


It works best on tablets and desktop computers. Unlike on Pixilart (which is better on tablets and phones), there's no tracking for advertisers.


The default canvas is for Piskel is 32 x 32 pixels, and unlike in Krita, the tools don't need any fiddling with to work for pixel art.



Will there be a max number of entries? Or different versions with different character groups? I'm wondering how playable the game will be with hundreds of characters.


(To be clear—I don't want a max. I'm just thinking ahead while deciding on my 2nd and 3rd submissions.)

I'm not the best pixel artist ever, but here's Avery Humberfloob. Let me know if I did something wrong, I'll gladly fix it.

That is the best pixel art I have ever seen, right next to Paul Robertson's work on Scott Pilgrim. I'm serious

Yes, the max is currently 7. It was 3 previously but I upped it by 2 after reaching the 100 and 200 submission milestone. I don't know how I kept forgetting to notify the forums (discord server knew). Initial 3 characters can be whoever you want like before, but the remaining 4 characters after MUST be a Newgrounds/original character.


In terms of playability with 200+ heads, each round only uses 4 randomly selected different heads, so it's not that chaotic. But after 10 rounds it ups the head count by 1, so by round 100 it can get pretty tricky >:D

Really well done sprites, but they need to have a black outline fully surrounding them before I can add them

I made a Mumba head via Piskel but I don't know how to share .piskel files.

Swapped Dusk out for @Yosos' persona since he asked about me drawing him in pixel art, as I stated before Dusk just isn't going to work on a 32x32 headshot :P
