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."

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!

It keeps getting better, well done kentona!

Though I think it's all a ploy to get free monster designs for nefarious commercial endeavors!

This was fun! Thanks for running it!
I had a great time seeing all the art here. I hope there's more events like this in the future.
thanks for making such a great event too! it's always fun to see how the result becomes.
O.O I MISSED THIS?!

My only regret..
DAMN RIGHTS YOU REGRET MISSING THIS LITTLE MISSY
Hahahahahah!

Yes, yes I do.
Still, somewhere it's also exciting since there is a possibility of this becoming a longer series.
My kids are getting older and their drawings are growing recognizable. So maybe...
