Here's my first batch because Newgrounds only allows two on one post I think. The first one is Suction Cup Man and the second one is Minecraft Alex.iu_1328650_22829294.pngiu_1328651_22829294.png

Is it okay if I can do the main protagonists of Doom, Duke Nukem, and Quake? I know they’re not in the list, but I think they’ll be perfect for the collab!


If it HAS to be from the list, have me do Zone (I think you’re talking about Zone-Tan from ZTV).


If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please let me know.

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

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

Okay, thanks!

Yeah, NG collabs get confusing when they involve a Google Doc or Google sheet, for me at least.

Don’t worry, guys! I fixed my mistake and I’m good to go! :)

Be sure to read all the rules in the original post, as it looks like theres a few things with your sprite that would've needed changing too.

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.


I also recommend Aseprite, which is entirely free if you compile it from souce. You can also get it on Steam for 20 bucks if you want to support the developers. I've found it to be much better than Piskel even for simpler sprites like this one.

7 heads max. First 3 heads can be anyone you want (provided you check the list), but the remaining 4 must be newgrounds/original character.

Nope, you can draw another 4. Just make sure they are Newgrounds/original characters only from this point on.

Please check the character list before you submit, someone has already drawn/claimed the Purple Knight/Blacksmith, so I won't be able to use your version.


There is also meant to be a 3 head limit on characters that aren't Newgrounds/original, so do you have any preference on which of the 3 I use?


And finally your sprites seem to have some big transparency issues. The heads need to be solid and the surrounding black outline especially so. Not sure what program you are using but I'd recommend looking up how to make/download pixel art brushes, or using a pixel art website like Piskel.

iu_1329672_8490282.png


If I try squashing it out myself it will look like this (just using Fidget as an example, all your sprites do this). If you're ok with how this looks I can add the sprites of your choosing and flatten them out as so
