Description

The resource creation event you've all been waiting for (again)!

Kids Design The Darndest Things 2
Make monster graphics from my 5 year old's designs



At the end of 2016 I held an impromptu event for you to create monster sprites and/or game art based on my then-7-year-old's crayon artwork. This time, I want you to make monster sprites and/or game art (battle sprites, concept art, facesets, charsets, ...whatever you want!) based on my 5-year-old's artwork.




In this short event we will:
  • Create pixel art version of these monster designs for use in RPG Maker
  • Come up with descriptions and movesets for these monsters
  • Submit them all to this event page
  • Vote on our favourite entries
  • Pick an overall fan-favourite entry


I will post the 11 designs below. The submission deadline is January 25th31st.

Submit your entries using the toolbar in the upper right, and then make a post showing them off in the comments below!



If you submit at least one monster, you will be deemed a participant and receive a Big Pig achievement worth 5ms. If you submit at least six monsters, you will receive an additional Spikey achievement worth 10ms. Participants who submit an entry for all eleven monsters will receive an additional Megalord achievement worth 15ms. That's 30ms in total!

The fan-favourite (as determined by voting after the event) will win the Chompy achievement worth 20ms.



Big Pig

"A very big blue pig with ice powers."


Brownguy

"He is small. He likes to break things."


Roar Dragon

"He has a super big roar! (the large R is his roar). He likes to eat ghosts and people."


Robit

"He got spikes on his head. He's very strong."


Spikey

"He is covered in super-spikey fur."


Monstery

"He flies and bites people."


Ymunwv

"He's got a really very long body."


Chompy

"He is superduper tall and he likes to chomp with his teeth."


Sunmagic

"He is a sun that uses magic spells. He has angry guys that help him."


Wiggleyarm

"He has long arms that grab you."

"He is the boss monster. He is superduper strong! The strongest."

At the end of this event, the event page voting will open from January 26th until January 31st. This will be used to vote for our overall favourite submission! The artist will receive the Chompy achievement.

Also, starting on the 26th, I will create voting topics in the forums so that we can vote on each monsters' fan-favourite entry. There are no rewards for these voting rounds beyond self-satisfaction. I will update this section with links to the voting topics.


Unleash your inner-5-year-old and make some monsters!

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Which monsters have the fewest sprites so far? I think Robit and Brownguy probably have the most.

@ModeGone - Those are wonderful designs :D Like everyone else I love the sassy Robit but my favorite of yours is the Chompy both his eyes and his floating teeth are great.

Cute Wormy and thanks!

Totally the bonus ones like Rounder, TT, and Fireblock. Of the mains, I think it'd is the Dragon.

Brown Guy

@RedMask, thanks! Nice work on the literal interpretation of Wormy! Looks exactly like the original.

@piano, awesome cheesy Oo-oh!

So...is he Spikey enough?



For anyone who doesn't get this, or understand my logic, I'm sorry. This is exactly what I see when I look at Monstery. I mean, I'm not even stretching. This is exactly what I see.



Ymunwv



Chompy

I have just two more to go but here's the looks for Spikey and Megalord:



I saw two mouths that turned into one giant mouth for Spikes while Mega looked like a giant with two or three people on its back so that became a kaiju-sized golem with one (visible) rider and four Wizeman (NiGHTS into Dreams) style stone hands.

Edit: DONE!

VOTING! when I get some time to set up polls on the forums...
The Big Pig poll is up: https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/23680/

Voting closes on February 12.
Can you create a list of all the polls? Maybe on each poll, include a link to all the other ones to make them easier to find and vote all at once? Or some post here with them.
Well I made one a while back but I forgot about the contest end date. So here's my take on Big Pig anyway, just for the heck of it

Also I didn't realize how big(pig) this was, so my bad
