Spritecomp #10 2018; Boss my Baddy

**chaoxys** · (This post was last modified: 01-04-2018, 12:35 AM by chaoxys.)

First off, I wanna say congrats to Big Potato for taking second place, and to everyone else who entered the last comp. Also, I want to say that I'm sorry for taking so long to make this topic, but I wanted to wait until the holidays were over since I figured people would be too busy.

The theme for this comp is simple. Take an enemy and make a boss version of it. It doesn't have to simply be the leader of the enemy you choose, you can go all out. Maybe have a robotic Monty Mole, or a paper craft Shy Guy, who knows.

RULES:

1. You can't use a preexisting sprite.

2. If your boss is a "king" styled boss, you have to do more than make it "Bigger with a crown". Add at least some flair to it.

Also, this isn't a rule, so you don't have to do this part, but as a little bonus challenge, it'd be nice to see the boss sprite accompanied by the basic enemy if you want to sprite them. Again, just a side challenge, you are free to skip it.

Deadline- Jan 21st

I've already made a few bosses that would fit this theme; can I use one of those, or do I have to make something new?

Also, shouldn't the title of this competition be spritecomp 1, not spritecomp 10?

This is a very clever idea for a competition! I can definitely get behind this.

Me.

As long as it's a new sprite made after the start of this comp, I guess it should be fine. As for the number, I wasn't sure to be honest. I mean, the last comp was #9, and I didn't know if it started over with the new year or what. That said, it doesn't really matter in the end.

EDIT- On another note, I went ahead and made an entry: King Coffer

Cool theme! I seem to recall a similar one somewhere in the old archives. Hope we'll see that same level of turnout.

I'll do my bit. Big Willy, the next evolution in Bill Blasters.

Not only did we have the same comp before, I believe I'm the one who made it. Honestly, I'm a fan of revisiting old themes from time to time. I was originally tempted to make this comp a simple "Mario" themed challenge.

This was a great theme, i had a lot of fun doing this:

The only name i had in mind for this big guy was the "Chuck in charge", so i'll stick with that.
Also, some extra sprites, maybe don't count these since the theme is bosses:

What happens when a goomba decides to eat a mushroom?

These are all very amazing. Good work people!!

**Arkenova** · 01-12-2018, 11:50 PM

I'd say! The spritework the people of the MFGG community puts in here is always a joy to the eyes.

i love this theme so much! i would enter like 30 times if it were allowed. i ended up sketching and brainstorming a number of different ideas but this one ended up being my favorite:

introducing...

the ROBOBIDDY 9000!!!

now in five different fruit flavors!
i was kind of going for the same flavor as torkdrift when you realize that he's supposed to be a robotic spindrift but a lot less subtle

some progress

**Shouty** · 01-20-2018, 07:45 PM

The boss of the Uproots: the Overroot. It tries to jump on Mario like a regular Uproot, and then tries to stomp him with its extended legs, shooting spikes out with each step. To defeat it, getting up to a higher elevation is required to untie its bow and slam into its weak point right on top of its head.

It just means you can't use a sprite you made prior to this comp, the style isn't an issue, so go nuts.

On that note, I'm going to start the voting when I get home tomorrow afternoon, so anyone who wants to enter has a bit more time (~16 hours).

I kind of panicked while making this..
Anyway this is Queen Pokio, Some Toads found the new species after the events of Mario + Rabbids Kindom Battle, then after the said Toads showed them to the public, she badly injured by really bad Toads, now she and her children want revenge against all Toad kind..
I have not made a tactic for her yet though...
