Welcome to the thread where I show off my arts.
General stuff (I don't do much of this anymore) (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/drawn.html)
More importantly, SMAAAASH!!, a webcomic (http://moonside.kontek.net/smaaaash.html)
And also, my archive at Stack Smash, where we retexture things in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?cat=17)
Yeah, I've noticed my thread count going up and concluded it's this board's fault. I'm putting an end to that. I don't have anything new today, but when I do I'll just post here instead of posting a thread. I'm sure that'll be appreciated. Well, till then, there's most of what I've done before and a lot of the stuff in the actual directory (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/) that I never did show.
-
I don't remember if you posted "LU..." here or not, but I loved it. That's my favorite out of the hand drawn ones.
EDIT: Nah, it's my favorite out of all of them actually. There are only 3 hand drawn pictures. :/
-
What's wrong with your thread count going up?
"LU..." brings up an aspect of Smash Bros. that I don't usually experience: suspense at seeing who wins. Not something I really like in a fighting game (or any game).
-
BP's just trying to avoid this:

-
The difference between BP and MM is that BP posts something different each time.
-
Total Topics Started: 362 topics
Whaaaaaat
-
MM made roughly 5 posts : 1 topic whereas BP has made 50:1.
-
As long as someone's got something pertinent to discuss, why does it matter how many threads/posts they've got?
-
Mario Maniac's threads were all either "I hate Sony! Hooray for Nintendo" or "I love Sony!" ALL. OF. THEM.
-
Well, that's exactly my point. I can't say off the top of my head what all the threads you made are, but I'm sure they were more relevant than MM's.

"I died on 6-4." "I got the Orange Portal Gun." That's what separates games from movies and, to me, makes them more fulfilling. It's not Mario who you say died. You died. Bonus comedy: The one who entered as Zero Suit Samus is a dude and the one who entered as Ike is not.

It's been on my wall for some time now.
Edit: I ate at that restaurant for lunch today (It's called Fancy Burger. Isn't that great?) and checked for my accuracy. I got the horrible lavender color scheme right, but the floor is tan in the real one. The door is actually to the left of the window to the kitchen and it's white, and where I drew the door is an absence of wall, so you could go to the kitchen from there. The Dr Pepper is in fact the second drink from the left though, and I'd say I drew the cashier pretty well. Regardless of the paint job, they have decent food. Especially if you're me and get the tomatoes, pickles and onions your friends don't like.

I wonder how it feels to be unable to post threads. I've read MM's threads (some of them) and I'm afraid that they are mainly dukar threads. You should make a webcomic, BP.

See, combos in MOTHER 3 are scored by hitting the A button to the beat of the music, and you can score up to 16 hits. They aren't necessary as the first hit deals the most significant damage (especially if you get a "SMAAAASH!") and the later ones slowly descend to one point, but that little extra bit can be helpful. If you're bad at rhythm games like I am, you can put the enemy to sleep and a p-thunk, p-thunk, p-thunk will be heard over the beats you would hit. It's supposedly the enemy's heartbeat. But... plenty of MOTHER 3 enemies are robots or things that shouldn't have heartbeats.
Incidentally, the Zombie Dog's battle music (titled Fate or Seriousness or possibly both) is one of my favorite songs in MOTHER 3. But the beat is so hard. I'll never get it.
You should make a webcomic, BP.
Webcomics, I don't know. I could technically be making one, since I only publish them on the Internet... but "webcomic" suggests some regularity to the comics' creation, usually "Mondays and Fridays and it says Wednesdays but you never actually get a new one on Wednesdays." I just make them whenever I feel like it.
-
You wouldn't have to publish it regularly. Whenever I feel like it is whenever I draw anything, and even then I don't usually draw anything out of sheer laziness. In that sense, you're more committed than I am.
-
Thats true. I use a deadline on my fan fic just because if I didn't, it most likely wouldn't be updated when I was doing it myself.

...
Things to know: In EarthBound, it wasn't PK Fire, PK Thunder, etc. It was PSI Fire, PSI Thunder, etc. I personally prefer "PK" for the "titles" of each move, with "PSI" referring to the powers as a whole. Ness's favorite thing is named at the beginning of the game, and the default name is Rockin'. PSI Rockin' is Ness's signature move. His only other offensive move is PSI Flash.
Also... this is kind of how it would be if I were in the mindset of "webcomics." I rushed it because the Starmen.Net fan comic section updates on weekends, usually (...I think) and I wanted it to be in the update immediately after the news about the DSi. I can't be the only one who had this idea, after all. Also, white backgrounds! Though that sort of goes with modern Nintendo advertising--this is what Nintendo commercials would be like if EarthBound were three times as popular as Pokémon ever was and Nintendo went completely insane in the most literal sense.
-
I can't be the only one who had this idea, after all.
I don't know about that one.
-
The idea of DSi/PSI, I mean.
-
He should have tried DSi Lifeup.

-
The most frightening thing about that image is the way the Ultimate Chimera's right eye seems to have shifted to the top of its head.
-
Yeah. I really mutilated him.
-
Mutilating the Ultimate Chimera in artwork would be very satisfying for me, because I sure as heck can't do it in Brawl.
-
in the DSI one, Ness looks quite crazed in the last panel..
-
I had it in mind to make Ness as un-Ness-like as possible. Ness is generally calm and quiet. This robot or alien impostor is loud and excitable.

A Mario comic! Whoooooaaaaaaa!! This is actually an updated version of a comic I drew in my ancient tome of a Spanish-English dictionary I've owned since I started Spanish I, and it just used generic faceless stick figures and buildings. It was also poorly written, with an alien shouting "MATEN!" as he destroyed a building in the final panel. That doesn't mean "DIE!" It means "KILL!" The original title was "Why Spanish Will Be Important," but I love "Uneducated Guess." I'd say it's okay for an idea a freshman in high school came up with. Those crazy, awkward kids.
I suppose I should translate the second panel for those who do not know any Spanish. "Hello, people with torsos! We are the Shroobs! We come in peace!"
-
The color effects in the last panel were particularly weird. How did you make it?
-
M&L:PiT comic! Thats nice. I look forward to the next comic. I have a question: the signature in the bottom left of the last panel in the bottom right says 54m, what does that mean?
-
It says S4m, a mutation of Sam, his first name.
-
Ah. Thanks.
-
The color effects in the last panel were particularly weird. How did you make it?
Layer of airbrushed purple and black between the lines and color of the background.
-
"We come in peace" Lol, I'm not sure whether this or the game's storyline makes more sense.

I've never played Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass/Whatever in my life, and that still made me laugh. Sign of a good comic.
-
Where'd you get the image in the last panel from?
-
All I can think of is Ghostbusters when I read that one.

My comment to that: "This is why you can't use two arrows at the same time."
-
My comment to that is: Oh my God, that needs to be in the next game.

Yoshi was effectively invincible. Most attacks only knocked off Baby Mario, which required Yoshi to recover him before Mario got kidnapped. The only attacks that actually seemed to hurt Yoshi were various spikes, lava, and bottomless pits. Also, the green Yoshi was not seventh in line.
You have quite an eye for detail, though. Reflecting the clouds in the water was a nice touch.
-
But you never know what Mildes are really capable of. You've never seen it, because they didn't want to do it in front of Baby Mario...

I... I didn't take screenshots and paste them into squares... I drew this...

Ah, good old Marching Mildes. How nice to see them finally referenced, even if it is a little gross.
-
I need to play YIDS more.
-
Me too, now that you mention it.
-
Were those even in the game? Really, all I remember about YIDS was how unnecessarily hard it was and how annoying Baby Peach and DK were.
-
I remember
-The one song (there was only one. With how little of YIDS I played, I recognized it in Brawl).
-Stupid Baby abilities making it annoying to progress.
-Thinking something about the graphics wasn't as attractive as YI's.
That being said, this was just a YI comic.

A quick comic I drew in art today (because I had nothing else to do) prompted me to boot up the scanner.

Four-colored pen: black, red, blue and green.
This one explains itself. Although, you could not run in MOTHER. That feature was added in the unreleased localization (the one we call EarthBound Zero). But there, it doubled the speed of the game--everything moved faster. BUT, in MOTHER 1+2 (the Game Boy Advance compilation), the feature was officially put into the game, and it just made the playable characters move faster. So by MOTHER 1+2, there's nothing wrong with this comic except for the fact that the three are together somehow.
Yeah, sorry about that long explanation. I'll make it up to you with the full-size thing (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/run.jpg), from before I put it in the squares.

A rather old drawing. Captain Jim made up the title for Lefty, his gnome with the broken arm replaced with a laser of some kind. I drew my interpretation of the name.

This one makes me sad. But check out The Captain. I drew this one in art also. Not for a grade, though.

A very angry and old-looking stylization of the Evil Mani-Mani Statue (EarthBound).
I draw way more than this, but I'll spare you the countless Warios and Captain Falcons. Why do I draw the same stuff over and over? That's how you get good at drawing that thing. Even if your drawings are terrible or misshapen.
-
Genius as usual, Bird Person. The comic was great. You should definitely do a full-color version of it.

Thanks, but I'm not going to. I get these ideas for comics that just stack up and I never end up finishing them. I have one I started at least two months ago and just can't seem to make myself do.

Before I drew that I wanted to do something EarthBound-related. Here are the costume concepts. Paula is supposed to be Gruntilda and the Captain Falcon here is Picky. The rest should be easy.

What was with the coloring on this one? It's obviously different from your other work.

All of those were good. I need to brush up on my EB, by the way. And I need Mother 3.
-
What was with the coloring on this one? It's obviously different from your other work.
At first it was just the black lines, a sketch I made of the characters so I wouldn't forget my ideas before I came up with a situation for them (and I didn't). When I decided that was at least something sort of interesting I just colored them quickly--no new layers, just 50% opaque brush, avoiding coloring over the eyes. I did that for the Jeff moveset (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/jeffmoves.png) I drew, also.

Oh, and, you can click that to see it in its fullest size. I wish I could have my computer and use the tablet in art. I mean, not that it's against school rules to use a laptop for daily class activities--a friend of mine uses his every day--but I'm not careful enough for that. Grr.

For the confused. Giegue is the main antagonist of MOTHER/EarthBound Zero. He is Giygas, before his power blew his brains to the great beyond. Mewtwo really looks a lot like Giegue, so I made a handy diagram.

Q: why does Wario look like an elf?
A: Wario is an elf.
This is canon now. There is no more "WarioWare Wario" and "Overalls Wario." There's Wario, and there's "Fugitive Elf Wario," or "Elf Wario" for short.
By the way, you can see here that I don't give a care about what people think of my art style. I will draw Wario with eyes dottier and dottier until they are so small he can't see through them.

Everything in this update is wicked cool, BP.
I especially love the text on the Motor Bike's box...and for some reason, Doug's sneakers.

There never was any "WarioWare Wario" and "Overalls Wario". A Wario is a Wario, no matter what he Wari's..er wears.

Zooming in on the third comic, I see you actually wrote two fake essays instead of just using dummy text. Such detail is truly admirable (or slightly insane, I can't tell which).

Ha, I remember those two pictures in the back from the Brawl thread. Your detail on these is amazing.
-
Loved them all, especially the one comparing Mewtwo and... Giegue? What kind of names are those?

Giegue is a pun on the word geek. Mewtwo is a clone of Mew. Understand?

Not understanding the names and ridiculing the names are two different things.

What's with the picture of Kirby and the brain? Do you have a full-sized one of that? Or is that it?

It's a picture from health class about the dangers of kuru, I'm sure.

It is funny. Anyways, BP, I'm still with the idea of you as a webcomicist.

The only thing I'm wondering is how many times are you going to change Pikachu's "earstyle".
I've known what I'm going for with that for a long time. I just continually get closer. I think it's really great to have personal details like that, and absolutely vital to have a unique style. I want people to see a creation of mine and think "I know who drew this!"

I thought I was hilarious when I made that post. Little did I expect the events of the next two years! Bird Person (as he was named at the time), continuing to irregularly draw this "webcomic" of his, brought relative fame to the Fungi Forums after the people of the Internet began noticing it. Though the changes to our forum's userbase were not welcomed by all, a few of the old members remain to this day.
I still have yet to learn the names of all the new people here. College has taken its toll on me....
-
Because I am 100% affiliated with the forums here and my comics have everything to do with them. The links to the forums all over my site make it really obvious.

Reading "Arrowdox" makes me think of all the Link/Fairy Queen jokes that could be done, considering the whole "Child, I should tell you... you are just my type" deal. Maybe if I ever get a lick of talent at that sort of thing...

Too bad John Tanaka is so boring. His backstory is basically "he loves Jody" and his character design is incredibly plain. Everybody else in F-ZERO is at least partly awesome. I mean, sure, Tanaka built his own machine... but it sucks!
There are a bunch of character combinations for whom machine-destroying just wouldn't work. Dr. Clash built Beastman's Hyper Speeder, for example--and he can crush it if you play as him. The original comic for the comrade-crushing concept was that Blood Falcon would destroy Black Shadow, who cries out to him to not forget his purpose... and they'd turn out to be playing GX in Black Shadow's small apartment. I decided to go with light-to-dark ironic humor instead of dark-to-light, and I think this one expresses the idea better.

I've been wanting to bring Poo back for a while now. He didn't fit into the last EarthBound comic. It wouldn't have made a difference, though, since everyone but Jeff was possessed or something. In my mind, Poo is like Toon Link, if Link would talk.
Anyhow, I finally got my Sword of Kings (http://moonside.kontek.net/screenshots/kings.JPG) (a one-in-128 chance after beating a Starman Super) and thought up this comic. Didn't finish it until today.

Giegue is a pun on the word geek.
That is full of an amazing amount of failure, although I can't blame you. Most people haven't played Mother.
Giegue is an alien that attempts to take over Earth and Eagleland, in Mother 1 and 2. Giegue is an alien name. It's not a pun on anything.
To make a long story short: Giegue is a serious enemy, and his name is definetly not a pun on "Geek"(It doesn't even make sense anyway). Now go play the Mother Games and learn the magic of Aliens and Baseball Bats!

I already knew who Giegue was. His name is still a pun on the word geek, at least that's what I heard.

A bunch of Links, from the Zeldas I have played, except Link to the Past. It's blue because it's easier to trace over the blue with the thick lines you usually see in my colored works. I was going to color the Links but soon realized the number of Links I'd have, and coloring them all would be stupid.

So you basically use a digital version of the Magical Blue Sketch Pencil™, then? Which one of those Links would you say is the weakest Link? *rimshot*

Probably the little flammable one.

Nice job....I really want RED's jacket.

The AC kid looks like he is dressed like an Earthbound character, though having not played Earthbound, I cannot tell you which one.
-
He's not. He's wearing the tuxedo, a real shirt you can get (my favorite). That and a helmet I designed in reference to Wario's. If I do create an Animal Crossing comic, I'll use a generic kid's name like Jimmy or something.
In my copy of Wild world, however, he actually is supposed to look like Jeff wearing 3-D glasses. Which involves the tuxedo. But Jeff's tuxedo is green. Well I didn't have any other choice after what's-her-name did my dude's hair just like Jeff's. I was aimlessly poking at the options...

And now for a consecutive post showing what I've papered since I last fired up the scanner. Except the next comic, which you'll see after I've digitized it.

I really wanted this one to define Mario as he shall be in SMAAAASH!!. Jolly. Too jolly. So jolly that he's a little bit oblivious. Maybe even to the point that he smiles when he finds out that Peach has been kidnapped because it means another fun adventure for him. But he's not insane or anything. Comic #8 kind of showed some of that, but reality is less compassionate to him this time. He's Super, though--he'll be okay next time!
I got the idea for the comic when I drew this, thinking about this concept of Mario.

Once again, very nice work with the Photoshop effects.

Excellent timing.

What is Waluigi doing in the background of panels three and four?
-
He's a table end.
-
Originally, he was going to be Santa's footstool but I tried over and over to make Ganondorf sitting in his lap look just right and eventually just redrew the whole panel (and thus the other one). With the original idea, a cockroach was going to come up to him in the last panel and he'd just look at it.
BLF: The banner says "BUY SOMETHING WILL YA!" in the font used in many an old NES game. The line is from shopkeepers in The Legend of Zelda.
-
That's pretty funny. Merry Christmas!

This is one of my earlier edits. I have done nine more and have one other about half-completed. But everyone on this big ol' team works hard, the queue is packed even with an update every day. In short, it'll be a while before something else I've done gets posted.
Check the update before the previous one (http://unleadedmugen.com/stacksmash/?p=2119) for one of Captain Jim's edits.
-
Hey, Bird Person, maybe you should have made Waluigi the Grinch? I don't know. Anyway, awesome work on the comics! :)
By the way, I went to Stack Smash before...didn't that website get shut down? The post talking about StackSmash and another website are at www.Nintendowiifanboy.com and it was posted on Dec 23, 2008.
-
You're thinking of Syntax Error, also called ]EE[, the original texture hacking team. The very day before they were supposed to release a patch for anyone to implement their textures (and some by Stack Smash members) into a copy of the game, Nintendo sent them a cease and desist order.
I think that's a load of bologna.
It's just too convenient for them for this to happen that day if they hadn't finished the patch or if something went wrong with it. And links to Stack Smash, Kitty Corp and Elite Smash Hackers were on their site. If Nintendo wanted to shut down texture hackers, why are we still here? And why did ]EE[ have to close entirely? Other fan projects (especially Chrono Trigger ones) have been ordered to stop, but they're allowed to still show what they've done.
Lie or not, it was a huge stupid day when that happened, full of drama and crap. Everyone who wanted Cloud, Mr. L and Rosalina rushed to Stack Smash to mourn (but they didn't forget to insult Stack Smash for no good reason). To take precautions, though (and especially because PZT, the highest-up, believes the story), Stack Smash will be moving to another server later. A server in Finland or Poland (I forget where). Wherever it is, copyright law is a little different, so even if the crazed whining Syntax Error fans do bring attention to people who want to sue, we'll be protected. The main hackers don't live in the United States anyway. But the whole project is nothing illegal in the first place. No money is made off of it, and the hacks are useless unless one has the ISO of the game (which would not be legal to download without paying--but none of the texture hacking projects are distributing it). This is all why the MOTHER 3 Fan Translation is also legal. In the end it'll encourage piracy, but doesn't it also encourage people to buy the game (from Nintendo, bigwigs with plenty of money who have gotten along just fine even with piracy going on for years)?
Summary for people who don't like reading: ]EE[ says they got an order from Nintendo to quit, I think it's a fat lie for many reasons, but we have nothing to worry about either way.
So my feelings are a mix between "I can't believe Syntax Error would lie like that" because I honestly don't believe Nintendo shut them down, and "That wouldn't even be fair" in the event sad ]EE[ fans who NEAD THIER CLAOWD STRIFE do get Nintendo's attention and they DO try to stop Stack Smash. But more than that I'm really happy about seeing my edits finally hexed and that they're coming out well. I want to be a game artist when I'm older, so this is good experience for me.
-
I don't think Nintendo wants to shut down texture hackers. Just the ones that try to distribute them illegally or in a sneaky way. I'm not saying that ]EE[ is being sneaky, but some other hacking groups may try it. I think it was a wise move by Nintendo because if all did go according to plan, it would ruin and confuse copyright laws. Every single video game company including SEGA would be pounding down Nintendo's doors in hopes of doing the tango with them in court. Although you made a good point; it would encourage people to buy the game if the patch was released. Also, if Nintendo did look at all the textures and stuff (like Pac-Kirby and Shadow) this could influence Nintendo to add them and other cool characters to the future SSB4 (we all know they'll make it someday).
You're trying to become a video game artist, eh? Cool! Because I'm trying to become an Animator. Making cartoons and cartoon movies both in 2D and 3D. So, hey, keep up the good work! :)

Did you people not realize that he was joking? Anyone who knows anything about BP should know that he will never be unfaithful to Nintendo.
Well, at least not until someone manages to play EarthBound on a 360...

Yeah, I knew that was just a weird joke. Still a good comic either way.

Ah, he was joking? That's good because I thought he was DONE with Nintendo forever.
I have to admit, the part where he's holding the camera was kinda funny. So, nice work, BP.

Jinjo. I can't for the life of me figure what category of animal they fit. In the old games (where Gruntilda had her freeze tag curse place on them so they wouldn't be able to move till you touched them) they made noises like owl hoots and flew around, so I thought they were supposed to be like birds... but now they squeak and look more lizard-like (but still fly around you). But they still look like they're wearing T-shirts.

I thought it was a good time for a new logo. I will create a new one every thirty comics. How's that sound? For everyone who preferred the old one, have no fear--that one will remain at the tops of the pages for comics 1-30, the new one will appear for the archive and 31-60.

Or you could just create a script that randomly selects an existing logo.

I was gone all weekend, so this got posted (http://unleadedmugen.com/stacksmash/?p=2406) but I couldn't post about it.
The first picture has the normal shoes because Androu didn't hex the head/shoe textures right the first time. The second time it came out right, but one of the six screenshots was broken. I didn't want to just put five, so I worked that one in with the caption.
This week is Week of the R.O.B. I made a quick (but comedic) R.O.B. hack and it's supposed to be in. Let's see.
-
Can't wait to see how R.O.B. looks in a tuxedo. Awesome work, BP. I'm also wondering how DK will look in a full suit...
-
Brawl should've had tuxedos.
-
That's what I thought. It feels great to be fulfilling my old fantasy. (Remember this (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/tuxedobrawl.png)? Ohh, my...) But I know how boring it would be if that's all I did--I'd rather have a tuxedo be every fifth or so texture of mine. I have a few more up my sleeve that could be released before the next tuxedo, and my R.O.B. for this week is something completely different.
-
On the retexture of Yoshi:
<FBM> BP, how do you create new custom stuff for SSBB?
<BirdPerson> I don't know any of the technical stuff.
<FBM> ...I was wondering how you made the new look for Yoshi.
<BirdPerson> I draw over the textures/recolor them to my liking, e-mail them to Androu, he takes care of the rest of it.
Can you post an example of the raw textures? I'd like to see how they look before they are mapped onto the character models.
-
Okay. The textures are all TGA files in their own individual folders, named things like tex#00_14.tga and stuff like that. Let's have a look at Captain Falcon, he's kind of interesting.

The folder containing this one is simply called "siro." Looks like another shine to me.
Since I already have it uploaded I may as well show you this, Pikachu's main texture:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmoonside.kontek.net%2Fstacksmash%2Fpika.png&hash=b360ef33b4556b9ee35b95fe125a1e3b)
The rest of his are just his five eye textures (open, half-closed, closed, hurt, and down-taunt) and the corresponding ones for his golden Smash Ball eyes. This is everything else, and looking at it doesn't tell you much. Androu is, in fact, the man--he got a program called Maya and the characters' models (he's working towards getting them all), is able to use that to test those characters without burning the edits to a new disc, and created a map of Pikachu.
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi302.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fnn113%2FAndrou1%2FAWESOMEPIKACHUMAPBYANDROU1.png&hash=8b177066efaef5dac7b06631deed8a72)
That's right, his whole body, head to foot, is in that tiny strip. The map isn't perfect, but it sure opened some doors. Androu said it took literally over 100 tries to get Shadowchu the way he wanted, even with this to help. We wouldn't be doing anything special with Pikachu if he had to burn all the failures to a disc like before. Even putting him in a tuxedo has taken six tries so far... I suppose showing you those isn't leaking*, since I've already announced that I'm doing tuxedos for everyone I can.
1: I missed everything. I also misinterpreted the way the front works. (http://moonside.kontek.net/stacksmash/tuxedochu1.png)
2: Closer, but still awful. (http://moonside.kontek.net/stacksmash/tuxedochu2.png)
3: Shaping up... (http://moonside.kontek.net/stacksmash/tuxedochu3.png)
4: NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOUUUR (http://moonside.kontek.net/stacksmash/tuxedochu4.png)
5: Almost there. I tried to solve the problem with the back, and I think the next one will be better. The 64-ish front is making a comeback, because it doesn't look like a tuxedo without it. (http://moonside.kontek.net/stacksmash/tuxedochu5.png)
*I can't tell you anything about upcoming hacks. Nobody likes that. You've noticed that I never talk about my comic ideas before they're finished and I post them? Same idea. I especially can't talk about other members' upcoming hacks. The rest of the team doesn't seem to care if I reveal my own ideas, and the tuxedo thing is something that's not supposed to be a secret anyway, so I'm not really leaking anything.
-
Wow...this is some very in-depth stuff. It seems very complex, and time consuming, but cool. I can't wait to see more. I wonder how Jigglypuff will look in a tuxedo...anyway, thanks for giving us the "inside scoop" on how Brawl textures are made/observed. Very interesting stuff.
-
Comprehensive post there, BP.
-
To tell you the truth, I won't be able to make Jigglypuff's tuxedo. Her textures consist of her monster eyes, the dark in her ears, and then a 4 x 4 block of pink that covers her entire body. Kirby's a bit different and I should be able to make his, maybe. I could draw Jigglypuff wearing a tuxedo to make up for it...
-
How the heck do you get those onto the game?
-
Pixie Magic.
...Nawww, Androu does that. Bird Person and I just do art.
-
I don't know any of the technical stuff. One of the members who knows how does the hexing and burns an ISO to a disc (usually with most of the single-player modes cut to fit on the disc).The plan for distribution is to release individual patches for each costume and stage (Syntax Error was going to release one patch that would apply every costume, like it or not), which will be friendlier to the less savvy. That means that yes, in order to play the game with the hacks, you must pirate the game, and you will have a copy of the game that's stuck with whatever combination of stage, item and character hacks you chose. We're not distributing the ISO though.
I want to learn how do hex the textures because Androu is always so busy. He said it best: "The team needs another one of me." If I could get Maya downloaded and could successfully install it, I could test my own hacks before sending them to him...
Actually, between writing this post and now, Androu has found a better program than Maya, and it's a smaller pile of files to download. It'll take me ages to get, but it'll be worth it...
-
Well, while you're on the topic, I've uploaded a rar of the Brawl Textures for those of you interested. You can view the files with Photoshop or a similar program.
You can get it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/182990843/BrawlTextures.rar.html
Additionally, if you don't want to use Maya (and obviously have no problem pirating these programs) you might want to look into 3D Studio Max, which is also commonly used in industry.

Oh my god, Black Mage posted.

It's only been six days.

That is in fact the program I mentioned at the end of my last post. Heh heh heh... My download cap and connection do not agree with me downloading huge stuff like that, though, so it's going to be a while before I get it.

I downloaded the textures. A few comments on them:
1. There are a surprisingly large number of eye textures. Though I understand why there are so many, there are still many of them.
2. Here's a look at the texture for Snake's face and hair:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmax.vance.googlepages.com%2Fsnake_texture.png&hash=cc4f97eeca7747efd626158b0dfafa3c)
"get n_t_o layer" seems to be scrawled right under some of the hair.
3. I pity anyone trying to do a full hack for Link. It's hard to notice the amount of detail for him until you look at his textures.
4. On a similiar note: Bird Person, good luck making tuxedos for Kirby and Jigglypuff.

Link should be an easy one to edit. I haven't gotten any ideas for Link hacks, but with the game to use as a reference, it's easy to tell what you're looking at.

This is the first SMAAAASH!! to include the use of Photoshop, I believe. GIMP doesn't have any good filters to simulate the grain of old films. On the way from the original picture and the Photoshopped one, I thought it might be cool to show what secret stuff goes on behind speech bubbles:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmoonside.kontek.net%2Fdrawn%2Fsmaaaash%2Fslowthief.png&hash=c4cba8a9ff74e4b9e5c50edb85006acc)
Woo, laziness. Even I don't see this kind of thing very often... I usually put the speech bubbles up first so I can see where I'm allowed to let up on the effort. Some video games do things like this, too. Levitating around Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask has seen me behind many a speech bubble...
-
Is that a Wigglytuff briefing Pika and.. thing? That's pretty good.
I hate losing my characters behind the speech bubbles. Someone went to alot of work to create the teleport animation, and then the speech ballon guy/team came in and said They're going to take up 1/3 of the screen! I like games where the bubble/balloon is broken up or transparent, like in Super Mario Sunshine or Animal Crossing.
-
Cyndaquil, man, Cyndaquil!
I didn't literally mean I was going behind speech bubbles in Zelda. I just used that as sort of a metaphor to say I've gone places I wasn't supposed to. Like the areas when you see them through gates in Clock Town? They're more like previews. It's actually a wonder you can stand on the floors on them--most walls and floors and ceilings you can't touch in OoT and MM are intangible.
Another texture hack (http://unleadedmugen.com/stacksmash/?p=2576). My part for Week of the R.O.B. This was simple and really easy, but it's mostly for the jokes. I especially love that what you see in the last picture worked correctly...

So that's a new SMAAAASH!!, a new texture hack, and some doodles, all in one night. I hope you like 'em.
-
Great drawings, BP. I go through the same problems with those word bubbles. I try to put them in corners so that they don't distract the viewer too much and if I can, try to write really small and hope they can read it. Also, ROB looks really cool.
-
I can't see some of the texture hacks on page 13 and the early part of 14, for whatever reason.
On a side note, I double-taked when I saw this (http://moonside.kontek.net/shopped/wiisportsbox.JPG) on your site, BP.
("Why'd he put the Wii Sports box on his site?" *closes window* "Wait a minute, there is no Wii Sports box!")
-
If you mean all those explanatory images and things in that big post, I know that they broke--I changed the name of the directory "misc" to "stacksmash" because that's mainly what it's for now--but I forgot to change that wherever I linked things from there. I fixed that yesterday.
If you mean something else, I don't know what it is! Heh heh...
I go through the same problems with those word bubbles.
No no, see, I like that the speech bubbles obscure some things--then I don't have to draw, color, shade, etc. as much. You can't see that Slowpoke's legs of the top of the door on that building--so it doesn't matter that they don't exist or look horrible due to laziness. I'm thinking like a real game artist now, not drawing things that nobody's supposed to see. I mean, why would I do that anyway? That's silly.
Another good example: Super Smash Bros. stages. Most things don't have backs. The buildings in Onett don't have walls back there. The foreground on most stages has no sky--just blackness. No one would know this unless they could move the camera around freely, and the game isn't supposed to let you. Sometimes this ruins potential screenshots when you've got a code running to freely control the camera, but the artists did what they needed to do to make the final product, as it's meant to be, look good. But I tell you, I love Isle Delfino because almost everything there actually exists. The sky is complete, the buildings are complete, they only disappear when they would be obstructing the battle area, etc.
But there is absolutely no excuse for being so lazy as to not make a texture for the back of Fox's belt and giving him two belt buckles. They didn't even hide that with his jacket. Don't they like their jobs? Don't they want to make masterpieces? Groan...

Either 'shopped or gotten early box before it was turned into a in-box game.

Um, Wii Sports always has been a pack-in game. There never was a box for it.
-

I agree. I work on comic-like stories about my characters and the word bubbles help in a lot of ways besides just showing what the other person is saying/thinking. They also help to hide stuff and can save you time when it comes to coloring it the picture. But I get what you're saying,
-

No. It's sold separately in Japan, and in Europe they get real boxes with it (but it's still bundled). That 'Shop job combines the European box with some other stuff to make a fake American box, which I printed and slipped into an unused DVD case. I've been meaning to do something similar for Link's Crossbow Training, too, but it's currently in a plain black case with nothing in the sleeve. I just hate cardboard envelopes.

When I actually make a comic just for fun, not posted, I put in the speech bubbles after I draw the characters.

I live in a PAL region and I can confirm this is correct.
Also, the Goroh pic is awesome for reasons I cannot even comprehend.

I should do that with my copy of Wii Sports, but I don't know where I'm going to find an unused DVD case.

All right, a triple Stack Smash update featuring two costumes I made for Lucas before I became a member: Final Fantasy's Fighter and Thief (http://unleadedmugen.com/stacksmash/?p=2751), NES-style. I originally made them with Dhragen's Ice Mages (Popo as Black Mage and Nana as White--they were revealed on Syntax Error a while back and will eventually be reintroduced on Stack Smash) in mind, thinking before long the whole selection of Light Warriors would be around. A while after, Androu1 made Black Mage Lucas. No one has started Red Mage or Black Belt though, maybe I will.
-
SMB Peach. (http://unleadedmugen.com/stacksmash/?p=2780)
That update ought to excite some folks here, what with all the Mario. Androu did a great job revamping NES 1-1.
Also, now all the Mario characters have been NES-ified. Except Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, the former two of which wouldn't have much to change, and the latter never appeared on the NES. But yeah, there's also Wario's Woods Wario; white shirt and purple overalls, because the stupid NES couldn't show the color yellow.
-
That's pretty cool, I've gotta say. Now what I really want to see is a Guru-Guru costume for someone. That would totally make my day.
-
That update ought to excite some folks here, what with all the Mario.
So is it no longer a Mario forum or what?
For the record, Yoshi could be made NES-ified by changing all his red parts to black, and DK just needs redder fur, peachier skin and his tie removed.
-
So is it no longer a Mario forum or what?
Um. That's my point. This is a Mario forum, there was a lot of classic Mario in that update, etc.
-
The way you phrased it made it seem like another jab at the lack of Mario-ness on this forum in general, which I tried to add on to.
-
DK just needs redder fur, peachier skin and his tie removed.
But can they remove clothing when they create things like this?
-
Some things, yes. I'm not sure about DK's tie--one of the waiting hacks could have had it removed for accuracy, but it was just edited for relevance instead.
-
Cool.
white shirt and purple overalls, because the stupid NES couldn't show the color yellow.
...Really? I could've sworn... *Wracks brain*

If anyone cares, I did a lot with SMAAAASH!! yesterday. Mostly stuff I should have been doing from the beginning. Here's an excerpt from this weekend's to-do list, everything that pertains to SMAAAASH!!:
-Establish main page - Accomplished
-Add dates to comics themselves - Accomplished
-First and Latest buttons - Accomplished
-Add code for favicon to everything - Accomplished
-Change the table width from 600 to 700 to fit new buttons
-Make a favicon - Accomplished
-Update About - Accomplised
-Add link from Moonside's main page - Accomplished
-Remove brokenness note from archive - Accomplished
-UPLOAD EVERYTHING -Accomplished
It all sounds like easy stuff but most of those are banal tasks I had to do thirty-two or more times. And I'm klutzy so I messed up here and there. Took up most of the day, between whatever gaming I did.
Mentioned main page is here (http://moonside.kontek.net/smaaaash.html) and is pretty much the latest comic with no next or latest button. I also uploaded a little file (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/appearances.html) I was using to keep track of the characters' appearances (for no particular reason), if anyone's interested.
-
Whoa. That's a lot of stuff there, BP. Keep it up. My mom says it's always good to stay busy. I have a mountain-load of stuff to do as well. That's why I haven't been here lately. Anyway, awesome work as always. Also, is there a way to "blend" color hacks? Like changing transparency of green and orange and then putting them together making yellow? Just wondering, that's all.
-
First hack I did. Oompa Lucas. (http://unleadedmugen.com/stacksmash/?p=2712)
-
:D
^ That emoticon sums up my feelings about it.
-
Hey! Nice job! I like that I didn't have to read the description to recognize them. :)
What about one for the more recent Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Just a thought. :)
-
As the comment for one of the screenshots says, the Oompa Loompa design is the only thing I really prefer in the older movie. I can't choose between their songs, I can't choose between the ending of the newer one and the classic, "YOU GET NOTHING!!" Other than those, everything from the acting to the visuals was better in the 2005 film.
In short: maybe. I don't know. The ideas I have are piling up just like the comics I've written but haven't finished.
-
Everyone bills the original Wonka movie as a classic, but it really wasn't what Roald Dahl had in mind when he wrote it. He hated it after it was released. I think the newer movie does the book better justice myself.
-
Ah, I see. I am at work so I didn't view the screenshots.
I seem to recall us starting the book back in third grade, but only getting about 1/4 of the way through.. I don't recall why we stopped.
-
I liked the newer one better too except for one thing: the sub-plot about Willy's dad. Why, oh why does Hollywood feel the need to add things to all the book-based movies?
Getting back on-topic, the Oompa Lucas hack was brilliant!
Another cool hack would be to make Ness look like Charlie Brown (I dunno, I've had that in my head for a while)...
Just a thought. :)
-
The newer movie is definitely closer to the book, but IMO, judged on their own, the older movie has a better plot. However, if they make a Great Glass Elevator movie, I may reconsider.
Anyway, great hack, as always.
-
Great Oompa Lucas! You should probably try making more Willy Wonka texture hacks. Or some Smurfs...
-
For some reason, I read that as Oompa Lumpas.
-
Tim Burton and his writers said that they aren't interested in making a Great Glass Elevator movie. There was supposed to be one for the first Wonka movie, but Roald Dahl hated it so much he withheld the rights to the sequel.
I liked the newer one better too except for one thing: the sub-plot about Willy's dad. Why, oh why does Hollywood feel the need to add things to all the book-based movies?
A) That was Tim Burton's idea, and B) How is character development and backstory a bad thing? You should be glad they didn't remove anything.
-
I think the newer movie does the book better justice myself.
Though the movie of the name is right, the boat ride is more accurate, and the Oompa Loompas have the right backstory, find me the part of the book where Willy Wonka was described as a young albino and I'll level with you all the way.

Fighting killer turds in outer space and accidentally making someone 400 years old didn't seem like the best movie plot anyway.

A tribute to Stack Smash (mostly Androu's creations though, because they're so perfect for the parts). Instead of Yoshi, Roasted Falco was going to be the guy in panel 3, then Leon told me he hated Roasted Falco and later left the team. I didn't want to put ANOTHER Androu hack for the part so I eventually just settled on Yoshi... Ignore that and be amazed at Pinkadorf's fury!

No, that actually would be the best movie plot.
Back me up here Glorb.

I'm not Glorb, but I agree.
I actually liked "Great Glass Elevator" better than the first book.
-

It didn't really describe him period, and his look is really just another one of Tim Burton's stylistic quirks. So that's a lousy argument.
-
Heh heh, another good episode, BP. Pinkadorf's funny. You can't rule the world if you're a blinding-pink color! That's like Kirby trying that stuff. And a Captain Falcon Speed Racer. Nice. I also noticed that Mario's letter M changed to an F...

Fario is awesome.

StarTropics on the brain. Expect more of that, soon.
If you don't understand the main one, the name of the villain in StarTropics and Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II is (you guessed it) Zoda. But that's also the name of my favorite F-ZERO racer. The one who originally spoke the line for my signature: "I like to grow flowers! Flowers that KILL PEOPLE!!"

-
Fortran!
-
Heh. Nice drawings, BP. Is that the main character in StarTropics?
-
Mike Jones, yep. Not the "music"ian. He's a cool enough guy, he swings a yo-yo at chickens with human skulls for heads and stuff like that. I like how he had a different design in Zoda's Revenge (the one there, with the jacket. in the first game he just wore a blue T-shirt). It both successfully makes him look just a bit older, as ZR is supposed to take place a year or so after the first game and fits the beginning setting's climate--Mike's back at home in Seattle at the beginning instead of visiting Dr. J at C-Island. ZR has a much more varied range of environments though, but it's not like he has a lot of time to care about his clothes or even knows where he'll be going next.
Oh, just one more thing:

Waste no time double-checking. Every word from the original statement is there. No more, no less.

The thing I entered for Reading's convention thing. It's Mike entering the dungeon on C-Island. This remix of the dungeon theme (http://ocremix.dreamhosters.com/songs/StarTropics_FlowTropiks_OC_ReMix.mp3) inspired the mood.
-
That makes me wanna see a 3D Star Tropics so badly...
-
Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. I see two footprints in your drawing too.
-
Yeah. Some of the green tiles in dungeons are secret switches that open holes in walls, make buttons appear, open chests or do other things, and when you step on one, a footprint appears on it. Since the chests are opened with these tiles I thought it would be cool for the seal on the chest to not be a lock, but to have the same design. The one on the tile in the ceiling is only there for decoration--you can't walk on ceilings, after all.
-
Well, hey, great job on the drawing! I'm still trying to get the lighting right in my drawings, so the moon, stars and flashlight help. Anyway, keep it up!
-
That makes StarTropics look even more awesome. And, yeah, a 3-D threequal would be nice.
-
I'm actually a little obsessed with the idea of a remake with dialog adjusted to match today's standards, more modern villages on the islands with things for Mike to buy and stuff like that, weapons that you can keep (after each dungeon Mike is left with just the yo-yo or its upgraded version, and pretty much every other weapon has a limited number of uses, including baseball bats. That's not that cool), varying styles for the dungeon theme, and out-of-dungeon exploration and combat. I even sketched up a Classic Controller + Wii Remote control scheme (http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2330/stcontrolsze1.png). Yeah, with three different camera setups in mind.
Maybe one day I'll get the go-ahead from Nintendo to do this--but I'd only want to direct it and art it. I've been considering doing a comic series but I probably wouldn't finish it.

I am a horrendous painter. I tried to hide how much this sucks by making it look like it's supposed to suck but I failed and it just looks suckier than before.
-
It looks good to me. Better than I could currently do, anyway..
-
Wow. A curvilinear perspective painting! Not bad, really. It actually looks like it could be a stage/level in World of Goo. And Samus looks good too. Do you use color ink pens to color-in your drawings?
-
Please don't lie to me. I know that painting sucks. I'm not showing it off, I'm giving an example.
As for Samus, yeah, I have this four-color (black, green, red, blue) pen. I only use it sometimes, though--usually when I don't have my pencil.
-
Please don't lie to me. I know that painting sucks. I'm not showing it off, I'm giving an example.
Whoa, dude. I'm not lying to you. Sure, it's not that good (no offense) but it's also not that bad. I also didn't know you were showing it as an example. I'm not a pro at curvilinear perspective drawing either, but in due time I will be, and so will you. It just takes time and practice.
As for Samus, yeah, I have this four-color (black, green, red, blue) pen. I only use it sometimes, though--usually when I don't have my pencil.
I use color pencils but sometimes I use the PC for some of my other artwork.
-
I said painter. I'm a horrendous painter.
-
Oh, I see. I'm not good at painting either. I sometimes watch Bob Ross's painting show and become inspired by his paintings.
That guy can paint.

Well, BP's awesome Samus doodle alleviated some of that.

If that "bad painting" is supposed to be a floating sphere with other stuff floating around it, then it's actually somewhat impressive.

They're all Snake in disguise.
Mmm, my name leaked in from the page behind. It's fine. It's been on the about page for SMAAAASH!! for about three weeks.
-
So.. Snake is disguised as...himself? 0_o
-
I like how Kirby's just a cube with legs. Also, that painting on the previous page is a weird abstract wonder no matter what you may think, Bird Person.
-
I'm talking about how awful my painting is. The painting. As in how it is painted.
-
I dunno, it looks kind of Yoshi's Island-ish, what with its rough edges and all.
-
Heh, these are good. Box-head Wario is funny.
-
Was that inspired by Gravity Bone?
-
Haven't played it.

I thought for a second those were drawn interpretations of those origami videogame characters you can print offline.

Haven't played it.
You are seriously <a href="http://www.blendogames.com/files/gravitybone.zip>missing out[/url].

My first thought was that the characters were supposed to look like in Boom Blox.

Haven't played that either.

I just thought that I'd make it a bit more accurate for you. I also decided to make the background Charmander talk. No need to thank me.
-
If you've played Mystery Dungeon, you'd realize you just made it less accurate.
-
No, that is how humans hear Pokemon.
Pokemon speak a special Poketalk that only they truly understand. You're playing as a pokemon in PMD, therefore, you are able to communicate with other pokemon the way humans communicate with other humans. Basically, the Pokemon are all actually speaking Poketalk, but because it's a game, their conversations are presented in human language. That way, the player knows what's going on, and they can interact with the other characters.
-
So did they get their steak?

To hear, one has only to listen.

Cool. Ice Machine Climbers was funny. And so where all the others. Keep it up, BP! :D

Ice Machine Climbers? Nice! At first, I didn't get it, but when I saw the "Ice" graphic on the machine, my thoughts were "lol I see what you did thar!"

Also, kind of off-topic, but I'm probably one of relatively few that knew about the Ice Climbers prior to Melee.

TRICKED YA DIDN'T I!?!?!
Poo doesn't really have a lot of fans. The girls like Paula, the underdog-lovers like Jeff, the people who just like the main hero like Ness... Poo is overlooked. He has some cool powers, but doesn't stand out because he's a boy with PSI but is not the main hero. On top of that, his name makes him an unpopular dude among fans. And he's absent from more than half the game, which leads him to be left out of EarthBound-related SMAAAASH!!es unless they take place late in the game. So I gave him his own comic.
My favorite is still Ness, though. : /
Edit: Almost forgot. Another texture hack: Samurai Gwarioh (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=3428)! I think he's my best yet...
Edit again: Here's the full version of the poster in the last panel.

How can Ninten, Anna and Lloyd exist in the same time period as the Earthbound crew...?
-
Suspension of disbelief.
-
Originally I considered the exact same scene from the fourth panel of last comic existing there--Squirtle and Torchic outside of Ancient Relics. But none of my ideas for the society of Pokémon seen in SMAAAASH!! really fit with that--I have several but they're pretty much all variations of why humans don't exist there. After I scrapped that idea it was anyone's chance to sneak in. I hadn't drawn Ninten, Ana or Loid for a while so they got in. In short: Don't think about it that much, they're just background people.

And finally, although I'm noticing that Brawl texture hacking isn't really all that popular here (I'm not offended--just kind of disappointed), I'll go ahead and keep you posted about what I do for Stack Smash anyway.
Pikablu (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=3468). This one's a real accomplishment for me because I put the textures in the game and took the pictures all on my own... and you can probably tell from the style of the screenshots. I just think that taking pictures of the retextured character posing, running and stuff isn't very special at all--there's never enough character interaction on Stack Smash. Also, I predict that Pikablu won't be a very well-received update because of his simplicity--I needed some killer screenshots to counteract the outer boringness of the hack itself.
-
I laughed so hard at "Carp Zone," and "The RED Scare" was pretty funny too.
-

I always just figured him for a Michael Jordan fan.

It was an accident, buuut, I posted another update for Stack Smash. Fancy Pikachu. I didn't want to post two of my own things in a row, especially since they were both Pikachu, but I was in the wrong tab when I clicked submit post. I had just written a double update of Androu's hacks, too.

Fat Waluigi (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=3521). I rather like the joke that Waluigi hacked Stack Smash to make sure this one got posted.

Any fans of Final Fantasy I? The best Final Fantasy?
This was one of those where I loved the idea but towards the end I started just wishing that either I could get it over with in one more minute or I would just die. It happens with some comics. Stack SMAAAASH!! was another one. The ones that don't have me wishing I could get it done and over with get the excessive details--all the stuff in panels 2 and 4 in Misteak are a result of me taking my time. This one had an idea or two scrapped in favor of time. Lucky that I decided to just draw one pin and copy it.
The Light Warriors have names. I didn't consider them to have any significance when I came up with them (on a whim starting a new game in Dawn of Souls), but they do have some symbolism for their classes. Check this (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/finalfantasy.txt).
-
Nice work, BP. I like the shading on panel one. I also liked how the atmosphere shifted from dark and threating to a light and funny bowling alley. Keep it up!
-
I don't understand. Garland was a trade city in the best Final Fantasy. I think we're having a communication error here.
That aside, Garland has a cape. Come on Bird Person (I liked the comic).
-
Obviously he removed it so he could bowl. (Bread and Pie don't have to do this because they're not wearing heavy armor like Garland is and are less prone to tripping on their robes and/or capes.)

BP has obviously learned from the Incredibles. Great comic, BP! I really can't blame you for copying the pins, beacuse that's what I would have done, too. Assuming I could draw all that other stuff in the first place...

FFVI is the best Final Fantasy, as well as contender for BGEM, but I do like the comic.

Hey, no arguing over which game is the best. It'll just end in tears for all parties involved.
I'm looking forward to comics about BP's other 360 games (and especially BioShock once he gets it).

The King of World 7 gets a pretty okay curse in Super Mario All Stars' version of Super Mario Bros. 3.
-
About 10% of Toad's rambling made sense. The "king's" expression is priceless.
-
After seeing this, makes me wonder why Mario bothered, especially in World 7.
-
It can't be ok if you're not a Yoshi to begin with. At least the NES game made some kind of sense (the king was a Pirahna Plant, wasn't he?) Come to think of it, the SNES game still made sense, because Yoshies can eat Pirahna Plants, and what better way to doom a world made of pipes than to turn their leader into a ravenous dinosaur (unless the king still has control over his mind, which means he still controls what he eats..)
-
That was one of the few (King 7 as a Venus Fire Trap) that actually had anything to do with Mario in the NES version. The rest were like, dogs and bugs and stuff. And no, I wouldn't want to be a Cobrat or a Hoopstar or a Donkey Kong Jr... but a Yoshi? Why not?

Hands off mah helmet

Love that last one, not sure I get most of the others...
-
BP, you and Stack Smash keep referencing The Slackerz. I actually lol'd at the last one.
-
Nice! Dedede holding Balloon Kirby was pretty funny. I also liked the Captain Falcon drawing and the "I'M ON A BOAT!" drawing.
-
Now that I know what the first one is referencing, I like it even more.
-
Dedede's balloon and "Hands off mah helmet" were the best IMO.
-
That last one was great!
-
Well, I made this one (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=3615) for fun. I want to stylize more, but if it doesn't go over well on Stack Smash I won't post them there.
-
Cool. He looks more cell-shaded and less shiny, but I like it.
-
The cel-shaded looks suits him surprisingly well. I would love to see cartoony renditions of other characters.
-
Kind makes me wonder if that decided to go that route when they designed the whole game. The original Smash Bros. seemed to hint towards it before Melee was made.
-
I think they pretty much hated the idea of cel-shading in Brawl, too. Just look at what they did with Toon Link.
-
The original SSB had terrible terrible horrible terrible Mario terrible graphics. Awful graphics, too. The stages seem to indicate that it wasn't supposed to be cartoony.
Toon Link Toon Link. Until a bit ago I'd theorized he wasn't cel-shaded and simple as in The Wind Waker because he could not be. The lighting engine would actually need to be changed to achieve real cel-shading. What I used was... artificial cel-shading, I guess you could say. You'll notice the normal shading is still there.
But, changing the lighting engine to get real cel-shading would probably be easier than it sounds, because Brawl already has one. Check out the Wind Waker trophies--cel-shading like what the game had. As I was saying, this is where I realized that it would probably be possible to make Toon Link the only cel-shaded character while the others are effected by normal lighting. The trophy dioramas. The cel-shaded trophies and normal-shaded ones can be in the same setup with no problems. I bet it'd be possible to have the same kind of thing for the fighters.
Regardless, I like Toon Link's look in Brawl, except for one thing. His eyebrows don't overlap his hair. That'd probably seriously complicate hacking him, but as far as the real game is concerned...
Anyway this is about the third time I predicted the fans' response to one of my hacks completely wrong. I thought no one would like Pikablu for his simplicity and originality, but I hit enough nostalgia targets and people liked the idea in general. I thought everyone would like Fat Waluigi for the joke with the update being written by him and the screenshots, but it really doesn't look like Waluigi and it was mostly inside-joking. I thought absolutely nobody would like this stylized Captain Falcon judging from The Wind Waker's criticisms and how most fans of Stack Smash just want super-detailed hacks like Dhragen's Sigma or just more danged Sonic characters... but they want more. It's a pleasant surprise--this means they like my art style.

No, no, relax. It's just a recurring pattern that even my simplest stuff gets positive reaction while his don't--the reason, he likes to make hacks based on obscure Tatsunoko characters and things that make Sonic fans (excessively immature Sonic fans) angry. I was worried when I didn't catch this; we're best friends in the RL.
Don't get me wrong. We've got each others' backs and support each other. He's got talents I'll never have--he can write, he can sing, and dang can he act--and I don't understand why he's not more proud of them. And his texture skills are improving--just wait till you see this next one he's got up his sleeve.
Now then... here's some... thing.

This... I want to characterize Bowser Jr. in SMAAAASH!! as the cliche reluctant sidekick of the overzealous villain. He'd be way smaller than normal (maybe not Pichu-sized but two feet high, tops), which disappoints his dad, who blames his failures on whoever is available to place blame on. I've considered situations for comics where Mario is shown to be the only one who really cares about him (while Luigi, who I've wanted to portray as sort of a sadist [which stems from older drawings of him where I unintentionally did make him look kind of evil], remains a bitter enemy). Maybe I just want to twist some feelings and confuse people. You all hate him for killing off the Koopalings. Could I be capable of planting sympathy for him in you? We'll see.
Oh and that unnamed Pichu is only there to exaggerate his size. In a real comic it'd be consistent with... this. (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/028.html)

Why do I even TRY to draw women...
As for what's going on here, I'd say it was going to be a practical joke formulated by Yoshi, Wario and Luigi that went wrong when Wario took his hat off. And then Real Mario showed up (he's the one on the right of the last panel).
...Holy frejffp I think SMAAAASH!! Luigi is Brawl Mario
-
I wasn't sure which one was Luigi because you didn't do his mustache right.
When I saw the title, I thought "Oh boy, here it comes, Toad's gonna tell Mario that Peach is in another castle, then Mario's gonna get mad and beat Toad to a pulp."
It's just something every other Video Game strip in existence eventually has. But I suppose you're probably the least likely artist on this board to go the cliche route.
-
Why would he have the Luigi mustache if he has the Mario cap on, thus making him look like Mario? It's easy to tell which one's Luigi, by the way.
-
It would be easy to get them mixed up--it's conceivable that if I were boring and made Luigi the wuss he is in the games and everyone else's art, he'd be afraid of Real Mario showing up to lay down the law.
-
Luigi usually overcomes his own wussiness if the stakes are high enough. And I thought most people prefer to portray Luigi as the cutest thing going in Mario's universe ("People" of course, referring to DevianTARTlets).
-
Why are all the hats letterless?
-
I don't draw 'em with them.
I am sicker than a medieval peasant of Luigi fans.
-
It would be easy to get them mixed up--it's conceivable that if I were boring and made Luigi the wuss he is in the games and everyone else's art, he'd be afraid of Real Mario showing up to lay down the law.
Actually, though I love Luigi's cowardice, I could imagine him as a scheming prankster, as well.

Now I feel really stupid.

^ Don't. I haven't played SM64DS in ages, and it took me all of 30 minutes, in the middle of a history test, to get the joke. (no kidding)
-
Heh, good job on the comic, BP. Your Peach drawing was good, but the more you practice, the better you'll become at drawing women.
-
If it's any consolation, Wario looks hilarious.

Here's some concept art for Dr. Fancy, a game Captain Jim (the writer) and I (the artist) are hoping to make (we need a good programmer or two). With Xbox Live Arcade and WiiWare*, it's more a more realistic ambition than it would have been five years ago. It would be a sidescrolling game similar to Viewtiful Joe or Mega Man. You will win the bosses' main weapons, and the bosses themselves will be playable (unlockable).

Concepts for Baron von Gearsly, a cyborg who has replaced almost every part of his body with robotic parts in order to achieve a fancier build. In fact, the only organic part left is his fancy mustache. His signature weapon is his top hat lazer cannon, the Top Gun. I've got some ideas for that--the lights on the band around it would circle around and around, with the color corresponding to how much health you've got. The concept at the top suuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkks.

Concept art for General Ugglas, the only character I've made up so far. An extreme conservative when it comes to fanciness, he denounces every modern thing Dr. Fancy stands for. His weapon is the Country Club. It can talk, yes, but all it will do is laugh in a fancy matter or say something like "tally-ho" when drawn. Also seen is Dr. Fancy using the Top Gun.

Dr. Fancy himself. What are his goals? So mysterious... Jim hasn't written them yet.
*One thing I've come up with probably kills all its chances at being available for WiiWare. Wine as a recovery item. However, we all know that the ONLY fancy way to drink is to drink in moderation, so excessive use of it would give you the horribly shabby drunkenness status effect. Under this effect, terrible things will happen. Dr. Fancy will become sluggish and clumsy, the controls may be reversed or whacked out in other ways, he'll hallucinate, causing him to think more enemies are present (and damage taken from them is, in reality, damage taken from his stumbling about). And his health would probably also be halved in addition to all this. You'll think twice before you drink twice.
-
Well...there are references to alcohol in Chrono Trigger...including vomiting and being drunk. I think you could get away with this.

Percival C. Pirate VIII concepts. He sails the Fan Sea. The parrot's name is probably going to be Smokey for secret reasons (haw haw). Once again I hate the first version (top center) and really like the "final" one (the one with the hat flying off and the one to his right). The ship is a concept for the boss arena, with the dark lines being what you can stand on.

No actual title. I'm sorry. I'm not.
-
For some reason, seeing this comic remind me of a member's sig here that says "Nothing like cookies and evil milk," but the bottle looks like it contains poison so...anyway, nice work, BP. I'm guessing this new comic was inspired by New Super Mario Bros.?
-
No game yet has you defeat Bowser Jr. in a castle and leave him for dead, but NSMB comes closest. For its inaccuracy towards the game, though, I put its subject (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/archive.html) as "Mario." It's an easy-to-grasp situation in that context.
-
Interesting colors for the blocks outside the window in the second panel...
Poor BJ. The only guy that pities him is the guy that has to pummel him at every encounter.
-
I'm afraid that I don't understand. Luigi's not sorry?
-
Mario is sorry he had to beat up Bowser Jr. and leave him unconscious (presumably on his way to rescue Peach), so he leaves behind a plate of cookies for when BJ wakes up. Luigi isn't nearly as sympathetic, and leaves him a bottle of poison.
-
Oh. I don't know what I was thinking. I thought there was some deeper meaning.. I should quit trying to read BP's comics while I'm at work.. heh.

Once I was at Captain Jim's house and we were watching some Speed Racer. In one episode Speed races the legendary Kaballa, who late in the episode, removes his mask to reveal... Racer X. Who has a mask.
We were surprised.
I said, "Ohhhhhh!!"
He said "He has TWO secret identities!!"
I like drawing Captain Falcon too much.

The message here shouldn't need any elaboration. It went through several different plans. First, Mike (who especially represents the stereotype of sprite comics with no uniformity of visual style) was going to be Link from Zelda II. And Mario was only going to appear at the end, with his panicked sprite from Superstar Saga, as Link was crushed by a huge photorealistic fish. But I went with this instead. Nobody would've believed the intended April Fool anyway.
-
I'm getting the "sprite comics are gay" vibe from you, BP...
-
More like "sucky." I'm not a homophobe.

-
XD
What, then, is your opinion of Super Mario Bros. Z, I wonder...?
-
^ My brother keeps trying to get me to watch it.
That was funny in a really strange way... but it said what needed to be said.
I don't really have a problem with sprite comics or films, that is until the animation requires movements that remind the viewers that those aren't moving sprites, but a guy moving parts of sprites like a marionette.
-
More like "sucky." I'm not a homophobe.
Without getting too graphic, isn't using "suck" in a negative sense probably also homophobic in origin?
I liked NC back in the day (back when it updated more than once a year), but that's pretty much the only sprite comic I've ever read. From what I've heard, I'd probably like that one that uses Final Fantasy sprites if I read it, but I haven't. And, of course, there's the one I made (http://www.smbhq.com/smbhq10th/b&w-in-b&f/) (you kinda have to know NC to be able to enjoy it at all, and if you're in that category, you've probably already seen it). But anyway, I do know enough, mainly through popcultural osmosis, about generic sprite comics and characterization habits of stereotypical Sonic fans to find this pretty hilarious.
-
The funny thing is is that your attempt at a sprite comic parody is actually better looking than most sprite comics, BP. :P
The only good sprite comic I've ever read next to NC is Captain SNES. Go look it up yourself if you care.

That looks to me like the cover for F-ZERO GX.
-
Ducks Unlimited...
Bird Person and I were at a small coastal town, and we decided to go browsing through the various antique shops. The first one we saw had a rather large bin of buttons and pins. I picked one up. We laughed a bit at it. It said
"Ducks Unlimited"
"Like unlimited ducks. Like they'll be everywhere." said BP.
...and they were.
Every store had DUCKS of every kind. Duck lamps, duck decoys, HUGE STUFFED DUCKS, ducks with MORE DUCKS inside them!
They were after me...
I have to get them before they get me.
(And so yeah, that's me fighting the ducks in the poster."
-
Far left is from here (http://nedroid.com/shop/). Read some of those comics (http://nedroid.com/), too, Beartato and Reginald are awesome.
Then the Waluigi poster (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/waluigifilmposter.png). It's basically a promise that I'll get back to work on this (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11840.0) around the same time I started it. Except, one year later.
The Ducks Unlimited poster is obscured by BRENDAN's head. Captain Jim and I were at Cayucos last Wednesday, and we spent some time exploring antique shops there. He dug through a basket of pins, one of which read "ducks unlimited," and following that moment there was never not a duck somewhere nearby. One was a lamp. One was a ceramic jar containing more ceramic ducks. One was Donald. One was a set of three. One was stuffed. One was enormous. One was a hundred dollars. By the third store he thought the unlimited ducks were after him, and they were. He plotted to buy one and hold it hostage, but instead got a still-packaged gold-plated Poliwhirl tablet in a display Pokéball from around the time the first movie came out. It was only twenty bucks. Fun trip. I got an Office Space DVD from the first store for five dollars and we watched that. Funny movie.
The fourth is just the cover art of F-ZERO GX (http://moonside.kontek.net/theinternet/fzerogx.jpg).

The Waluigi comic was pretty funny. Was it WitF that caused you to remember that it existed?
-
Nah. I've been thinking "I'll finish that" since December at latest. I've known what'll happen next since before I started drawing it. The next two pages, anyway. No idea where we'll go then...

CAULDRONS VS. TEST TUBES
POTIONS VS. CHEMICALS
INCANTATIONS VS. EQUATIONS
This will be the best fighting game ever. I figure it can use the same engine as Dr. Fancy will have but with a fixed arena. Baron von Gearsly can be on the Science side and Knightmare (a ghostly knight-type boss whose theme is "undead," I haven't drawn him yet) can be on the Magic side. And I envision that as being kinda like Smash Bros., but health-based and with less jumping. Some stages would have death pits that KO you instantly, but generally, health depletion is the way to go.
I don't really like that dragon or the Scythebot. The lab mouse and the scientist at the top (who now that I look at him, reminds me of Scott Smith) are my favorite.
Edit: Oh and Hero's New Clothes (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=4310). This one's a bit more cliche but I honestly don't care about any other Brawl hacking teams outside of Stack Smash anymore. Anyone can do it, everyone does it, most of them are no good. I'm not being a jerk, I'm just being apathetic. Anyway. This one is, I think, my best costume hack. And not counting a recolor of Fancychu I did a few days ago, my latest... but it's still old. The only other take on Outset Link I've seen before was plain colors. I went for a detailed version.

INTRODUCING: SCIENCE
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmoonside.kontek.net%2Fdrawn%2Fmagicversusscience%2Fstanley.jpg&hash=a125c5d9503d66cda73f80da8e432389)
So the individual playable characters will have themes based on their preferred source of sorcery or field of science. This guy, obviously, specialized in lasers. His antics will therefore depend more on science fiction, such as the Angel 05, a laser gun made interesting by the ring (its "halo") that floats in front of it that magnifies the laser into a fiction-happy ball of energy as opposed to an indescribably fast beam.

Phil "Chrome Dome" (surname to be determined). He'll probably be the representative for the Science side. He'll specialize in chemistry, which does not limit him to acids and stuff. Fire is also a phenomenon related to chemistry (check out the lighter in his hand in the original concept picture above).

Charlie. I can't decide if I like him better with the whiskers or without. If that statement is entirely true then I'll go without, since it'd be easier to not have to animate them. Experiments have enhanced his IQ to the point that he's average by human standards. In the game he'll probably use more traditional fighting tactics, with his advantages being his obvious smaller size as a target and speed. But since the other characters will have a lot of projectiles, he probably will too.
I'm thinking there'll probably be about ten characters on each side (including Gearsly and Knightmare). But I'm not doing so well coming up with magical people. That's Jim's job.
-
An immense hilarity! I love the quotes, good work.
-
Some advice for if this happens: If you're making it entirely health-based, no death pits. It's fine with a life system (a la Super Smash Bros.) or a hybrid system (like the one seen in Jump Super/Ultimate Stars), and I suppose they work in 1-on-1 fighting games like Soulcalibur, but never in a solely health-based open-stage fighting game.
Other than that, I really like the concept and the character designs so far.
-
If they ARE in, they'll definitely be minimal. Like, on one science stage (maybe on top of a jet or something) and on one magic stage (definitely on the flat top of a castle's tower). And knocking a person into one would be tough.

"Why doesn't the Ditto just transform into something solid? With legs?" Well, that ruins the comedy, doesn't it. Also, I've been thinking, if I'm gonna use a Ditto as a character, I'd give him a quirk. Maybe not total inability to transform (in which case he'd have a completely different moveset)... we'll see.

I had a good bit of fun with this one because when I realized I'd have a hard time drawing all the power-ups in the final panel and a harder one tracing those in black and making them look good, I just drew every single Mario power-up I could think of (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/powerups) in a 300x300 frame. A lot of them are Mushroom palette swaps, yes... and as a result of the draw-then-place method, the shading is completely erratic in that panel. In the end, thirty-five was way more than I needed so I just went with my favorites and the more recognizable ones. Is your favorite one there?
-
W-what!? No Mega Mushroom? At least the shoe is there.
...I'm still not entirely sure I get the punchline here.

Rosalina's Observatory flew through a field of items and managed to nab a 1-up shroom on its tip. Mario flew up to the tip a few days later and found the mushroom, totally baffled as to how it got there.

Is that item to the right of the Volt Shroom an Ice Melon from YI? Also, what item is two to the right from that, purple with a yellow and pink dots on it?

Perhaps a butchered Copy Flower from M&L: PiT?

SolidShroom requested a huge version of the final panel of "Ammo Belt," and since I had already drawn the powerups and Comet Observatory Rocket as separate images, I did it.
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmoonside.kontek.net%2Fdrawn%2Fthehugeuniverse.png&hash=0a920a9a05c2b0c1f7603adda775be7c) (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/thehugeuniverse.png)
Now it has all but four of the thirty-five powerups I drew--the Poison Mushroom, the Reverse Mushroom, the Invincishroom and the Mini Mushroom. Click on it for some 1440x900 action. I'm not making a 1200x900 version unless anyone asks for it.
-
Would you make a 1200x900 version? Wow, I didn't know there was that much detail going into that.
As for the Copy Flower, if the two heads are different colors, wouldn't that create different colored clones of Mario and Luigi? (Boy, would that make that attack hard...)
Also, upon closer inspection, I noticed that you forgot the eyes on the top of the Frog Suit.

Edit: What? You could just as easily say, "Since it has two heads, wouldn't that create one clone of Mario or Luigi?" I killed lots of birds with that stone--I stylized it, I retained its original colors, I kept it consistent with the other flowers in the tulip form as opposed to the oval form, and it's still easy enough to tell what it is.
If I wanted everything to look exaaaactly the waaaaay it iiiiis in the gaaaaaaames I'd make sprite comics, wouldn't I?

I couldn't see the eyes, as it was in the distance, and (unlike the Tanooki and Hammer suits) the actual suit had huge, open eyes on it. And while I'm generally OK with stylization (stylizisation, stylisation, stylizizizization?), I didn't realize it was a Copy Flower until I'd thought for some time...

Makes me wonder how things would've turned out if the SSB games released after the original went with a cartoony cel-shaded look instead of the epic, super-detailed look.
-
Honestly I think SSB was trying for "realism" itself, but since the graphics sucked so much you only think they were going for some sort of style.
-
Red, blue, green, yellow... I guess that does pop up an awful lot in SNES games. (e.g. SMW's Yoshis, Koopas, ! switches and blocks) Makes since considering the Super Famicom's controller's color scheme.

Minish Cap again--rebellious, speaking Link again. This time his feet are visible, and we see his red sneakers. No really--look at his sprites in the game. Those are not boots. Funny how I notice these things that sort of tie in with the personality I build the character after the fact... Like, remember how I described SMAAAASH!!'s version of Bowser Jr.? Some of the things he says in Super Mario Galaxy and the fact that he only really fights you once.. it matches.

Hookshoot
Yes it's finally over!

I love your stuff, man. Your Minish Cap comic was brilliant. I loved it!
-
Mafia Kirby wins. But the Brock puns were all excellent.
-
Brock, paper, sciccors.
I nearly choked on the soda I was drinking when I read that.
-
I couldn't stop laughing at the chain of Brock puns. The one I laughed at the most was Brock slide, however.
-
All of them were funny! The one where Daisy is about to get crushed by Waluigi was hilarious! And nice work on the 3-month art project.
-
I don't know if I'm up to commenting about all those, so let me just say you're great.

RED -> GOLD; Squirtle -> Politoed; Ivysaur -> Skiploom; Charizard -> Togetic (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=4865). The plan was to release this one on Sunday, when the remakes were supposed to be announced. They got announced early... So yeah.

How come you capitalize the trainers' names but not the Pokemon names?
-
The opposite could be asked of Game Freak.
-
LD: I dunno. It's enough to make it clear when I'm talking about RED (person) or Red (game).
Speaking of RED
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmoonside.kontek.net%2Fdrawn%2Fsmaaaash%2Fmew.png&hash=9959a740df50a03f332897c497b74c4c)
Veterans of Pokémon will get it. If not, I do write these little descriptions (http://moonside.kontek.net/smaaaash.html)...
Since I drew RED's whole team individually for those boxes, I made a nifty little (1440x900 is little) wallpaper of them, with RED (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/redwallpaper.png), kinda like how I made that one of the Comet Observatory flying through the 1-Up for comic 43.
-
The way you draw Charizard (that is Charizard, right?) is really awesome.
-
I request a 1280x960 version of the above wallpaper of awesomeness.
-
Surprisingly enough, considering how relatively new I am to the series, I got the reference.
Also, is the nickname for that Charizard based on the name of the Norwegian Ridgeback once owned by Hagrid?
-
I loooooooooooooooooove the way you drew Hitmonlee. :D
-
Was that final panel a deliberate reference to the Red/Blue/Yellow "Mew truck" legend?! If so, I shall award you the keys to the internet.

Um
the whole comic was

I came to that startling conclusion just after posting. My computer's weird screen resolution was preventing me from reading the text, y'see. Regardless, the keys to the internet are still yours.

When I draw myself I try to keep the lies at a minimum. I abhor people who draw themselves as impossibly scrawny when that's just not how it is, or even worse: people who draw themselves as Sonic fan characters (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/040.html). There are inaccuracies in my own self-portrait, but nothing major.
Main reason for this self-portrait: I didn't want to use a photo of myself or an avatar of Ganondorf for Twitter (http://twitter.com/RealBP).
-
I am realizing this must be an awkward one to comment on. "You look good." "You look worse in real life, yo." "You just plain don't look good." "I... want your old shoes?"
-
Heheheheheh. It looks good! Do I recall seeing that swirl shirt somewhere?
-
Maybe on Politoed's stomach.
-
...Indeed! Good call there.
-
Yeah, BP, it looks good. I also like the Politoed swirl/symbol. Maybe I'll draw a cartoon version of myself and post it here someday.
...Maybe
-
It looks really nice! I'm loving it. Your shirt is awesome.
-
I only wish I had a shirt like that... maybe I can get my cousin to do it...?
-
Man, BP, you are a stud!
-
I abhor people who draw themselves as impossibly scrawny when that's just not how it is
I actually am rather skinny. When making a caricature, it helps to exaggerate the most stand-outy aspects. So that's one of them.

This is technically nothing new, but I've created some pages (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/sketches.html) for all my sketches, by month (the earlier ones, two months, for each one's small population).

This (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=4769) was my first stage. Mushroomy Kingdom is surprisingly easy to retexture. Introductory jokes aside, I might, one day, make one Brawl comic using only Brawl screenshots using only my cartoonized textures, although the lossiness of the screenshots will be hard to work around.

That funky still-life (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/peculiar_still_life.jpg) I showed off earlier is in an art show. I guess it was discussed more before the second semester, before my schedule was rearranged and I got transferred from Art 1 to Art 2. In fact I was completely unaware that we'd be spending the class period in the gallery (it's apparently city-wide with all high schools participating). There was some awesome stuff there. My favorite was a ceramic bust of Ray Charles titled "Mistah Charles." I saw my own painting. It looks better on a wall but I don't know if I'd want it on a wall here at home. I feel slightly guilty for the intangibility of my work... my parents hint often that they want me do do something real, something they can keep.
What ticked me off was, I could and should have slightly improved and entered "Under the Southern Cross" (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/startropics.png) (I'm looking at Mike's Hair, especially). It IS fan art, yes, but there were pieces at the show that also qualified as such. A sketch of Sid the Sloth, one of Mickey Mouse, a big painting incorporating Alice in Wonderland and Where the Wild Things Are... and besides, how many people in this town are going to recognize it as a glorified unseen scene from a video game released for a dying console in 1990? Next year, I'll have it entered.

This is [a first design for] Spectrum, a superhero a friend of mine made up. He has magnetic powers like Magneto's and comes from a family with a long history of superpowers.
While I was making that I realized that I'm pretty stupid. I've known about the magic wand selection tool and the select > grow command but never thought to use them together--select area in the lines layer, grow it so it takes over everything, go to the color layer and fill. This will make things speedier.

Currently, I've only had the character select screen portrait (seen above) replaced. The same texture is used on the victory screen, but if I want to replace the in-battle portrait as well, I'll have to do more work. I will do it later, and I'll also fix the fact that the "READY TO FIGHT" banner overlaps his eyes. I intend to make these for all the characters I stylize and some of the other texture hacks I make.
I feel successful. And, here's the full-sized version, which I'll use for other stuff:

Pichu has paler cheeks, a black tail and a collar, so no. However, the Pichu-styled ears could easily justify your supposition.

You'd be able to tell, even if I don't draw the black collar. In the long run, they don't look more similar than they should--lots of official designs for Pokémon aim at "X, the evolved form of Y, is basically a bigger Y." Charmeleon, Dewgong, Poliwrath, Clefable, Primeape, Arcanine...

Brawl hack talk ahead, I know nobody gives a care about that:
I'm still making Brawl character selection portraits, and not just for my own hacks. I made this because there's really no StarTropics art on par with the sprites in the game. And because model hacking is in sight... I will have to learn that, yes. I don't have to worry about doing things like bringing Mewtwo to Brawl--everyone else who learns model hacking will inevitably do that. I think making Mike (possibly by editing RED's model, or by heavily editing Ness's) would be a good start. As for the character, Ness is probably the right man for the job, what with his bat and yo-yo. But that would require hitbox editing and skeleton modifying, which 1. is not in sight as far as I know, and 2. would probably affect all the Nesses, and I don't want to get rid of any default material. Especially not from my main! If I can't edit those things, Link would be the best. I could remodel the boomerang into his yo-yo, the bombs into torches, his sword into a bat, his shield into a mirror from later dungeons.
So I can use it then. I'm no spriter, so I really just guessed at what his lower half would look like. I'm probably way off with what would have been possible.
-
WHO MIKE JOOOONNNNES
-
M-model hacking!?
-
For a simpler start, Dr. Marioooo!!! unless you can texture his (unused) model in Brawl's data.
-
I am not going to do that because somebody else is going to be all over it.
-
Is model-hacking even going to apply to Mr. Game and Watch?
-
Actually, probably. Mr. Game & Watch has a 3-D model, but it's flattened at all times. If you manage to get him into the T-pose used when the artists originally model the characters (you can easily do this by using an erroneous move or taunt during a moveset swap that will freeze the character but not the game) it looks really weird... 'cause you know his arms are sticking out at you but they're not.
But he STILL HAS NO TEXTURES... more like a code that tells the game how to color his body and outline. I'm not sure how that works though. I'd assume that editing a model would, most of the time, require editing how the texture is applied to it...

Not art, just the best character select portrait I've done. It's for S's Waluigi hack (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=4098), which I also didn't make. The WA is still there on the match results screen because the portraits are shared.
Unfortunately, I can't really release my edited CSPs. They're part of a menu file that includes all of them, so when you convert the edited files to become usable in the game, they are all bound up into a bunch of files. An educated guess would tell me that they may be separate for each character* but then you would HAVE to have Default Ness, Scout Ness, Mega Man Ness, Johnny Turbo Ness, Servbot Ness and SMAAAASH!! Ness in that same order just to use it.
Editing fight portraits isn't working at all. The main reason I'm doing this is because it's much easier than to remember which alternate costume is replaced by which hack, but to have them would be much more professional... not that I'm being extremely professional with the full CSPs. I just use official art for the character usually, 3-D or not. Sometimes not even official if the best official thing I can find is still insufficient.
*There's a file for 00 (Mario), 02 (Link), 04 (Yoshi), 05 (Kirby), 07 (Pikachu). I'm only guessing that's what they stand for, since the absent 01 (Donkey Kong), 03 (Samus), and 06 (Fox) match the characters with no edited portraits. I don't remember which original hidden character "comes first" to take 08 but I bet it's not Jigglypuff.
-
I had an idea for an Olimar into Toad hack. Turn the Pikmin into shells, mushrooms, or.. suits, maybe. Since I lack the know how, though, the best I can do is really push this idea.
I like Brawl hacks, BP. Some are kind of stupid, but there are lots of good ones (whoever does the Dry series, and all of yours are great).
-
Just wanted to confirm some things I said earlier:
Model replacements only change one costume each. It's stored in the file with all the textures--that's why when people tried to use Captain Jim's "Metal Sonic" (a R.O.B. texture) on Sonic, what they got was a very glitchy (but freeze-free) R.O.B. with Sonic's moves. That's why you can use a Pikachu texture with no hat on the other slots and the headgear does not appear. I haven't done it but I assume putting a Wario with a jacket in slots 7-12 (overalls) would give you a jacket Wario.
Yes, the model must conform to the skeleton (tells it how to move) and hitboxes (tells it what part can take damage or deal damage at a given time), so I can't make an accurately tall Mike Jones with Ness's moves.
Also, Link's bombs, arrows and boomerang are not part of the individual costume slots. If I wanted to edit those they'd all change. No exploding torces, no baseballs, no magical yo-yo. His sword and shield, however, can be changed. Mike Link will have to have bombs, a boomerang, a bow and arrows, a bat and one of those mirrors from the later dungeons. Still, Link's stance is not so different from Mike's. Mike has never had a voice actor, so that won't feel so weird. I'll do the best I can when I finally make this.
Vile's got some awesome ideas himself. I can't wait to see some of them.

Funny how the Ness bobble head also changes positions.

Super secret trivia about that: I tossed in that little detail in an attempt to keep Ness and Mario out of a neck-and-neck battle for most-frequently-appearing character (and I'm personally rooting for Ness, being that EarthBound is the comic's namesake). Without Ness in there, it would have been a tie, and the tie wouldn't be broken by the next comic, and the one after that will have both of them in it again. So it's a throwback both to comic #13 (Dang nine is a lot of months) and the first logo.

That's Johnny Turbo's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Turbo) emblem. It's been floating around since I made a high-resolution version for this (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=3533) (too bad Ness's textures aren't as big). Parodies some very vague advertising for superhero-related things and doubles as a nod to F@NB0Y$ (http://fanboys-online.com/comics/20090615.jpg) and Slackerz (http://theslackerz.com/Comics/123.jpg) for their recent Johnny Turbo activity. Other than that there's no particular reason I decided to use it. I look at my files and think "That would make an okay movie poster"

For the record, Vikings didn't actually wear horned helmets. It's a misconception that's resulted presumably from Greek and Roman writings concerning the Viking's ancestors and has remained as popular, though false, imagery.

"What? The last one was 49!" It was 49, but now it's 48. I took "Final... Boss" (the non-game one) out. I'm going to put it in its own section for non-gaming comics later.
Why? Well, because this is the father's day comic (Hi Toad, maybe Luigison if he reads my comics). Today is Father's Day. I couldn't let this one be #50 because I have a special comic planned for that, and it's huge. I couldn't have finished both by today so I removed time constraints the easiest way.

While I made that, I made this step-by-step tutorial on using GIMP's paths and layers effectively (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/pathslayers.html). I'm not trying to teach people to copy my art style--you can use paths and layers for your own. I've used 'em for different styles myself, like the Mike sprite revamp and the drawing of Spectrum. And I use them all the time for selections when making Brawl textures, regardless of realism level.

Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=5840). NICKtendo DS is the artist behind the grunt in the picture.
Update on model hacks: the member Vile (the most involved in the realm of models) has figured out how to resize the "bones" of a model's "skeleton," and the corresponding hitbox. In other words, he can make Ike's sword longer, or Ganondorf's legs shorter. And apparently this will only affect one costume, since the model is in the same file as the textures (the PAC). What this means: Screw arrow-shooting boomerang-throwing bomb-tossing Mike Jones. When I get good at it, I can edit Ness's model to make him! His moveset is perfect--yo-yo, baseball bat... Mike gets a psychic move in Zoda's Revenge, also.
Model replacement itself is still in the works, but every step closer like this is a leap. There was a time that it seemed full edits of Toon Link and Wario would always be impossible for their paletted textures. Once, music hacks were an idea unheard of. I mean, in the beginning, texture hacks were laughed at. Now, all this junk is easy enough that anyone can do it.

Ocarina of Time Links (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=5618). The main one was the younger one, while the older one is basically filler to match, a recolor with a minor alteration to the angle of his eyebrows.
So what's the point? Well, S made a Young Link, and Bluz made an Ocarina of Time Link, yes... But I took mine in a different direction. S was aiming to "bring back" Melee's Young Link (I think Young Link and Toon Link are essentially the same person: the Super Smash Bros. series' representative for all Links as children), and Bluz was doing a "cel-shaded" series (not an accurate title) and named the Link texture "Ocarina of Time Link" for similar coloration. What I wanted to do was make the Hero of Time with it in mind that the clothes Twilight Princess Link wears once belonged to Ocarina of Time Link. So what I basically did was... TP-ified an OoT-ified TP Link and used the resulting textures on WW Link--I wanted the look of Link from Ocarina of Time, but with a detail level of Twilight Princess. Does that make sense?

I wonder what's going to happen when he gets hit by an enemy. Anyway this comic absolutely awesome and hilarious. Also, why hasn't your website been updated yet?
-
Personally, I think the comic would be just as good, if not better, without the speech bubbles.
-
Yeah, and it's not all that common that a comic theoretically makes sense when "silent". Seize those opportunities!
-
I bet you anything I would have gotten several "I don't get it"s.
I couldn't get Sonic to shut up, anyway.
I forgot about (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/wallpapers/fancysonic1280.png) these. (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/wallpapers/fancysonic1440.png)

Ha, I was actually going to ask.
-
The only panel that needed text was panel 2. The text is okay in 4, though. The text really really didn't need to be there in 1.
I enjoyed the comic.

While I made that, I made this step-by-step tutorial on using GIMP's paths and layers effectively (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/pathslayers.html). I'm not trying to teach people to copy my art style--you can use paths and layers for your own.
I finally got to look at the GIMP tutorial, and now that I've seen it, was wondering if the same (or similar) steps would work in Photoshop (or Illustrator)?
-
Fifth tells me that the pen-looking tool in Photoshop is like GIMP's path tool. It's really different though and I haven't played with it enough to really learn it.

Ivysaur. I only really drew him for the character selection portrait and hadn't really thought of what sort of direction I'd take for him appearance- or character-wise. I like the Red/Blue sprite (http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/5/58/Spr_1b_002.png) so I stole some stuff from it. I proceeded to revamp the stylized Ivysaur texture by adding the white underside, lines on the leaves and flower petal spots. I'll show that off after I fix the skin colors of Captain Falcon, Ness, Mario, and get rid of the dust/fog in my stylized 1-1/1-2.

Ha! Sonic racing Boshi. That's not even fair.. Hahaha!
I find Waluigi in Yoshi's freezer extremely funny. When will that become a full comic or image? *I know, maybe it won't..*

Waluigi was totally supposed to become more full comics a few weeks ago.
I love the Ivysaur design and Toad Yoshi.

Part one to a six-part story arc. It's Metal Gear Solid-themed, but almost all of it is accessible to anyone who understands two things: movie theaters, and that Snake sneaks around.
-
I haven't understood movie theaters since I found out I wasn't allowed to put my feet on the seat in front of me.
I really hope you have a joke involving Snake's "sex kick" and the aforementioned "feet on the seat" rule.

He's going to sneak into a movie! .. or not.

Thanks for bringing that atrocity to my attention. I was blissfully unaware of the whole situation before now.

Who knew that Game Freak was still developing new titles for the N64? Better yet, the battle sequences more resemble awkward, inter-species mating rituals.

This is the only strip in the arc that directly references specific Metal Gear Solid events you wouldn't catch:
The evident one: Recolver Ocelot's hand is cut off in MGS. He replaces it with Liquid Snake's (Liquid didn't need it anymore). Through the arm, Liquid is shown to possess Ocelot with increasing persistence from Metal Gear Solid 2 onward.
The sneaky one: In Metal Gear Solid, Snake sneaks his cigarettes past a strip search before the mission by swallowing them (they are a usable item in the game--while they chop off bits of his health at a moderate rate, they make infrared sensors visible. So Snake sneaks his outsider candy into the theater with the same method. Why? Because the candy at big theaters like this is expensive! Sneak snacks! Snake sneaks snacks!!

I wanted the text message from Little Mac to Marth to instead be the command for a Triple Star Uppercut, but every way of expressing that came out too long and unclear.

What command is that? I just hit A. (A motion command?)
I also think Mac would be more fond of shoryuken than hadoken.

Yeah that. And trying to make it clear that there would be three stars. You're right about the other thing. I just didn't think too deep into it.

PaperLuigi suggested I come beg you to use my crappy comic strips as inspiration for your own since I can't draw well, but I can come up with decent comic ideas pretty well. Here's a good example of what I mean:

Guts of steel. "Otacon, you jerkface! You interrupted the best part! Zero Suit Link was about to get the last Crystal Star and open the Fountain of Dreams, only to reveal Giovanni, who was behind the plot to get both Champion's Belts!"
Blue, AA (his Electrode), and multiple MOTHER 3 characters make their debuts! Plenty of characters start out that way. "I don't give X enough panel time. Background you goes!" Except Waluigi, the king of background characters.
I wonder if Toad minds that a laser signature is sitting in his lap. Brrzt.
Edit: There's a lot of detail that the chairs obscure. I'll let you see the individual drawings of everyone later--it's all one image, including stuff in the next comic, so yeah

Wow, it looks great! So many questions, but I'm afraid to ask any since it might spoil the story. I'm wondering what that bluish-black goo is...and why Sheik appears to be unconscious. It looks great though, Can't wait to see what will happen next. :)

It's a scene straight out of Ocarina of Time. Perhaps you should play it!

As I mentioned before, I'm gonna let you see everybody sitting with no chairs (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/showtime/evrybodysittingforever.png). Details got lost behind the chairs (Rope Snake in Duster's popcorn, Blue's footstool). And you can read the popcorn buckets too.

It looks like Ness is asleep. Or is it just because his hat is turned all sideways?

Definitely looks as though Ness is asleep. It also looks as though Snake has a Mario-sized nose.

I dunno why I decided Snake should have a huge nose. But I like it.
I'm doubting there's a way to embed flash files in posts (for good reasons), so I'll just link it (http://moonside.kontek.net/flash/fromthesky.swf). It's five seconds long, rough-looking (I used PNGs I'd drawn in GIMP instead of drawing new stuff) and does not accurately represent bouncing items, but, for a first shot...whadja think?

I think you should use a motion path and make his eyes do figure-eights. Also, use onion skinning to give his eyes a bit of a blur.

Lesson learned: Don't start publishing parts of a story arc until they're all done. So tired of it... So ready to make not comics that are part of it. One is done. You can wait till Tuesday for it.
-
LOL @ Samus's shirt ^_^
-
I think it's nice that I actually get the Earthbound references in your comics now.
-
I lolled at all of the actors being "Johnny Depp."
Also, technically the Master Sword is certainly the best because it's the only one capable of delivering the final blow. Maybe it's not as strong literally, but it certainlly has the advantage over evil. Also, Biggoron's sword sucks sometimes because you can't use a shield.
-
Biggeron's sword sucks sometimes because you can't use a shield.
I've never had that problem. I killed all my enemies before they could land a hit on me (save for Twinrova, which requires the use of a shield)
So, was this comic the final chapter of the current arc? I also laughed at Samus' shirt.
-
Yep, that's the end. Whew. I tossed Samus in as a consolation because my original plan was to use the fourth screenshot in this post (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11400.msg537833#msg537833) for the movie screen in part 5... then I thought "I'll draw it instead..." then I thought "I'd rather have an actual event and haven't played much Metroid..."
I wouldn't say being necessary for one hit makes the Master Sword stronger. I mean, that'd technically make Biggoron's Sword one of the worst weapons in the whole thing, 'cause it's not vital for anything, ever.

Almost forgot!

I never thought there was much comedic potential in Mr. Game and Watch, but you pulled it off.

I'm afraid to say, but I don't get it. I understand he's thinking about trying to catch parachuters, and the helicopter is throwing tools at him.. is he trying to catch the tools and yet avoid them too??

The helicopter driver and Mr. Game & Watch appear to be thinking of two different Game & Watch games, though I can't place the name of either right now.

Wow, that's a really good piece of artwork.

I would definitely date that picture.

Never in a million years would I have thought to draw something like that. I have to say, that is really cool, BP. :)
-
I get the whole Spirit Tracks/old-fashioned mustachioed evil guy tying a damsel in distress to the railroad tracks connection/joke, but it's kind of lessened by the fact that Link would probably be the one running the train. Also, yeah, the background is... different.
-
Link is supposed to look like any run-of-the-mill young man, probably a paper boy. Also, it has less to do with Spirit Tracks than it does with being Developing American Entertainment Zelda. If I had specifically wanted to play on Spirit Tracks, I'd have used their appearances from the Wind Waker arc.

Seeing that this is quite possibly the last amazing drawing we'll see from BP, a moment to "NEVER FORGET" seems appropriate.

Ok then, I'm going to be very blunt here. I just read through the majority of this thread. skipped a couple dead pages here and there, but saw most of this work.
I don't recall laughing once. In fact, I'm not even sure if I smiled. The point is, this webcomic is extremely unpolished and mediocre.
Honestly, if the intent is to make the reader laugh, then you can't achieve that if you follow up every single strip explaining what each nuance of the joke is. You might as well just place a picture of Rainier Wolfcastle in each 4th panel if you wish to save time.
Also, it really bothers me that you're so focused on perfecting your "style" as opposed to learning the most basic of art foundations in your work. Its nice to have a style, but that can't come at the cost of understanding how a body works or how something interacts with its envorenment. It's evident in your work that you are focusing way too much on facial expressions and not enough on body language. Everything just seems so lifeless when most panels consist of a couple characters standing around grimacing while another is yelling or saying something ridiculous. You need to find a balance between both instead of letting one overshadow the other.
Similarly, your shading and lack of depth reek of laziness. Giving the bottom of each limb a dropshadow isn't proper shading. It's also completely inconsistent with the lighting in many of the locales, especially the one with the Mystery Dungeon characters in the base. Why is there shade in Wigglytuff's face when there's no structure above her body? and why are the shadows in front of their bodies when the light is coming from the left side of the screen? Since there is no definite difference in shading between the background and the characters, it all comes together as one flat mess.
I might be looking too much into this, but I'm definitely sure what you need is constructive criticsm which so far no one else seems to be contributing to this thread. I'm not trying to be a snob or a jerk, but you seem content to just chug along putting out these Nintendo comics when its clear you're not putting nearly enough effort into every aspect aside from writing and presentation. If you want to get better, you need to focus on your weaknesses and fix them, but if you're content making a couple guys on a Mario message board pat your back for every little doodle that you upload, than be my guest.
-
Mr. Wiggles, how well can you draw?
-
Stop posting in this thread. The unfunny, untalented popularity seeker who started it is long gone (he can be very funny and talented at times, I'm just saying he isn't to humor Wiggles).
-
Mr. Wiggles, how well can you draw?
I don't see how that's relevant. Do you ask movie critics what the last summer blockbuster they directed is? Do you ask grocery store managers how they raise crops to sell?
Point is, criticism and talent do not have to be mutually exclusive.
I'll take Rao's advice though and just let this thread sink until BP decides to come back again. You know he'll be back, or he's lurking around...
-
You'll notice the "how well can you draw?" argument against art critics always comes from people who think they can draw.
The idea that BP "explains every nuance of every joke" is quite the exaggeration. While he does explain a good amount of them, it's mostly due to the fact that most of the people who'll read them on here don't know nearly as much about video games as you'd expect from people reading a video game-oriented message board. (I for one wouldn't get half of the Metal Gear Solid jokes, because I don't play movies.) He doesn't explain nearly as many of them on his site (http://moonside.kontek.net/smaaaash.html), which he actually keeps up to date (aside from that one bonus strip about Pokémon Mystery Dungeon on WiiWare, which appears to be forum-exclusive).
Your example was this (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/032.html) comic, right? That comic is something like half a year or more old, so of course his technique was worse then than it is now. You could say the same about a lot of popular comics (both web and otherwise). If you look at that sketch of Snake and Marching Milde there, it's technically better than your example.
You used "mutually exclusive" wrong. It means things can't happen at the same time, not that one is a requirement for the other.
-
I wasn't criticizing you Mr. Wiggles. It sounds like you know what makes a webcomic successful so I'd like to see you draw one.
-
Mr. Wiggles is simply speaking from a spectator's standpoint. Say, if Youtube users had to upload videos in order to access the site, it wouldn't be the household name it is today. While I don't necessarily agree with most of Wig's criticisms, pulling the "let's see you do any better" card on him is a rather immature reaction.
-
He's right--the "Better than you can do" retort is basically an agreement that the accused is indeed mediocre.
I like it when someone doesn't like my artwork (as long as it's pure honesty and not, say, some fool strutting around, commenting negatively all over Stack Smash regardless of artist). If I'm serious about the career I'm pursuing I need serious people to respond. It's refreshing reality that I'm not the best, and that lets me know to try harder. And some of the things Wiggles said, I was aware of even at the time--illogical shading or inconsistency... but I was too lazy to do it over, thinking no one would notice or care. That's not a good mentality to have.
Being the source of them it's harder to judge whether or not my comics are funny, and I'm not claiming a single one of them is (probably not a good mentality to have either). At the time I make them, they would seem to be funny, to me. I look back now and very few of the old ones still do. Some time around 48 I decided it was time to reinvent the jokes altogether, and get away from very specific or vague video game jokes.
Also no I'm not back, nor was I lurking. I was pointed here by WarpRattler and decided to leave my thoughts. The rest of the forums are not improving in my absence and do not interest me.
-
Okay, I'll admit my immaturity. Sorry.
You'll notice the "how well can you draw?" argument against art critics always comes from people who think they can draw.
I can't draw. At least well.

Oh, I guess the whole tutorial-every-three-seconds really only means that there's so much to do in Bowser's Inside Story, but the way I see it, there's so much to learn and very little actual use of what you're learning, kind of like real life and school. Regardless... fun game. Bowser's specials are awesome.
Edit: Oh and if you wanted to completely waste your time looking at my works again there's this (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/archive.html) and this (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/sketches.html) and most importantly this (http://moonside.kontek.net/drawn/smaaaash/survivalmode.html). Sorry.

I noticed Survival Mode recently and love how it's coming along so far. Glad to see you're back!
-
Holy [wtd], Batman, BP posted again! Does this have something to do with it being April 1st?
Also the comic gave me lols.
-
First post since I came back? It's 'cause I haven't finished any comics or scanned any not-comics lately. 'Cause I've been working on this:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstacksmash.kontek.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F02%2Fal_110217_2004.bin_.out_.jpg&hash=4f64651c1267758bf2134c2726048145)
It's a Brawl stage built out of boxes and whatever else I needed to make it work. The platform in the middle is actually made of out Ike's sword and the guard rails are a bunch of those metal platforms from Mushroomy Kingdom 1-2.
It's Osohe Castle from EarthBound 2. I mean, why wouldn't it be something EarthBound related? No one should need to ask by now.
More pics and more of me talking here (http://stacksmash.kontek.net/?p=13235)
-
If you drew all three of those paintings, I think that's some of your best art I've seen yet.
I'm not familiar with the source material of the stage, but it looks a little barren to me. Is this the finished product or are you still working on it?
-
Yeah I suppose it does. I should make the black close in more, there's a lot of floor and wall beyond the death zones and there's a lot more floor in the foreground than there needs to be.
There is one other problem and I am stumped on how to fix it. The characters' shadows. They do the same thing they do in Battlefield, pointing southeast, rotating around, then stopping directly under the character when they'd normally disappear (when the stage turns to night). I couldn't find anything, anywhere at all in the file to change this. There is a pack of smaller files in it that deals with stage lighting, the color of "fog" that the objects in the stage gain when the camera zooms out, and other stuff, but I pulled that from one of Lylat Cruise's scenes and replacing it with Mushroomy Kingdom's didn't help. I tried changing everything else I could see and nothing changed the shadows' behavior, so I gave up.

That is SO DUMB, this is one of my favorite drawings of mine ever! And it's really old, I guess I left longer ago than I thought.
It's supposed to be Belari from Zelda: The Minish Cap. He gives Link his first bombs, then after a certain Kinstone fusion you can trigger him to invent bombs that you detonate by remote control. Except, he just had the same sprite as all the other unimportant Forest Minish in the game. I made up pretty much everything about his appearance for this.
I really wish the Minish would show up in another game, they're awesome. They invent remote controlled bombs. No Hylian or Goron in the entire series has had the drive, dedication, or ingenuity to do that. Possibly not even the brains. This guy did, on a whim, and he's an inch and a half tall.
Suck on THAT, Barnes.
-
I suppose the only semi-plausible answer to that would be that the Hylians eventually invented Super Bombs, but...
Let's face it. Remote control. Maybe I should play The Minish Cap.
-
Yes; you should. Great picture by the way, BP!
-
BP, why do you call it EarthBound 2? Just to keep the flame alive?
-
Combination of wishful thinking that Nintendo would make M3 happen outside of Japan, and expression of appreciation for the fan translation; it's not JUST MOTHER 3 anymore, it's professional enough to take the supposed name it would have if it were official.
I guess.
Also the title "MOTHER" works for the first game and third game, but I think the title "EarthBound" works for all three. In EarthBound Zero and EarthBound, the title refers to the Starmen, bound for Earth. To take over it, and whatever. In EB2 it can refer to the dragon under the Nowhere Islands, bound to Earth by the magypsies' needles. So I'm prefectly comfortable calling it the EarthBound series.
Now I guess I'll just post a drawing or two from time to time... the good ones... or something

Concept drawings of Teddy from EarthBound Zero. I was gonna make a Brawl mod for him out of Captain Falcon, but then I decided model mods were retarded, so I'm not going to do them anymore.
So instead I started to model him from scratch in 3ds Max for the hell of it. There are ideas I didn't want to waste, especially the Nintendo-referential tattoos (that's a stylized Charizard on his shoulder)
It's kinda hard though. And I haven't really gotten texture maps to work exactly as I want yet.

Constructive criticism: The poorness of the lettering detracts from the quality of the art, and saps punch from the joke because it's not effortless to read.
-
Think I should go back to the font then? Or just have better handwriting?

I think either would be an improvement, but careful hand lettering is classier (though harder).

Personally I feel this is one of the worst I've done in a while. At the time I didn't have many good ideas.
Then I got some good ideas and made some better comics, you'll see those in the weeks to come
-
I dunno, the expression in the last panel makes it worthwhile.
-
I don't think I've said this before, but I really like your art style BP! It has that colorful, cartoony look to it.
-
This is based off of Amazing Mirror, isn't it? I missed out on that one, but heard many great things about it.
-
I could never get into The Amazing Mirror. No clear direction as to where to go, nor is there any indication of progress being made when you do anything.
-
Really? I've always liked Amazing Mirror's open-endedness; it makes completing the game somewhat challenging compared to most Kirby games.
-
@Kimimaru: Many thanks.
@Tortuga: Of all people I'd expect you to love Amazing Mirror, being the Metroidvania that it is. And for how much you love sequence-breaking. There's basically nothing stopping you from taking on any boss you want in any order you please, and the only progress you need to know about is how many of 'em you've beaten, and the whole treasure collection shebang.
I hear speedruns take a long time, around an hour maybe
100%ing it, however, is hell. But I done it.
-
It's not the fact that it's a Metroidvania so much as the fact that you don't get any sort of context when you start the game. It's disorienting.
-
Er, Meta Knight followed Dark Meta Knight into the Mirror World to stop him. So did Kirby. Kirby got chopped up and split into four Kirbies. Go help Meta Knight get the pieces of the Amazing Mirror back from Dark Meta Knight. Also, Dark Kirby is there for whatever reason.

I upgraded my site to look like something from this decade. It will now occupy the real main page of it--that means here (http://moonside.kontek.net/)
The most major new things are the RSS feed and comments, which mean I'm not going to post the comics here every week anymore. If you like my comics and want to comment on them, subscribe to the feed and comment on the site (or just check the site every week and comment; I still don't actually use RSS feeds myself)
Thanks in advance to anyone who goes over there to comment, to let me know if anything's messed up or isn't where it should be, and thanks to everyone who reads my comics.
-
At the time of this post, that link shows nothing but a blank white page. Unless you were going for some kind of minimalist abstract art, I'm guessing that's probably not what it's supposed to look like.
-
Hahaha
I was trying to see if I could add "Hosted by KonTek" to the footer, between "Powered by Wordpress/Comicpress" and "Subscribe to RSS" and somehow it set the whole thing on fire! I panicked for a bit trying to figure out what to do, and thankfully the editor tells you exactly what file you're changing, so I replace it with the original and everything went back to being JUUUUUUUST PEACHY
So you had some bad timing, sorry.
Current comic is still the Mega Man one, but I also rewrote the blurbs for almost all the comics if anyone's interested in going from start to finish... I know I'm not, though, so if you are interested, you're weird

It's a new Mario stage for Brawl
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmaaaash.net%2Fdrawn%2Fmariostagedone.jpg&hash=080c0892c931f95e0577634ecfac21f7)
I made this one's models on my own in 3ds Max (except for the enemies, they're from Subspace Emissary). Not too shabby for a first-ish Max project, even if there are some UVW map issues...
The other four stages, I'd made with models already in Brawl. Besides limiting how much I could make them look like I wanted, that method also required a lot of wasted file space for textures and vertices that were only necessary to make the file load properly. In this one I was able to direct that to texture detail most people won't notice or care about. Mostly on the blocks and things. I wanted the texture for the ground to be twice as large as it is, but that crashed the game.
This is what it looked like yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZrpJCzmxMc
This version is done but I'm going to make an alternate version with snow and different enemies in the background before I distribute it. Not that anybody here plays Brawl with mods.
That's a shame. Project M is super badass
-
The animated background enemies made me poop a little. Good work mang.
-
I'll see if I can't work that one into my current mod set; it's looking pretty boss. Don't know what I'll replace, as Mushroomy Kingdom leads to some pretty funny replays.
-
All my stages go over Battlefield, so if you've got a Battlefield module and the stage switcher, it can go anywhere you want it.
-
That's honestly really cool! I don't have a hacked Wii but played Project M and loved it. I think this stage would be a great addition to it!

Impressive.
-
Did you figure out a way to get that poor Goomba to respawn?
-
I never wanted it to. But if I did I'd just have to make the animation loop and bring him back to his starting position from somewhere off-screen, like an actor on a stage.
-
Oh. I thought that was an issue.. Okie dokie then.
If there were some way I could play on this stage (and use your awesome Captain Falcon Toad costume) without hacking my Wii.

It took forever for that image to load for me (crappy internet is frequent for me), but just being able to read the ", see?" I knew exactly what the picture was. Nice! Popple's battle theme is one of my absolute favorite pieces of music from Superstar Saga.

I was listening to this.

haha that's a good one. I actually downloaded it straight to my computer so I could listen to it whenever I felt like it a while back.

I made a new one of these from scratch in 3ds Max (http://smaaaash.net/bowsers-castle-again/)
-
Does it work well with Project M?
-
Yeah. I did all of the testing in 2.5, up until loading it in vBrawl in Dolphin for the screenshots. So I'm... not sure if Red (Pokémon Trainer) will or won't run through trees and stuff. His feet should be more or less on the ground, probably, but I didn't test for that.

Somebody put your (I saw the bottom of the castle) old version of the bowser's castle stage in this (http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/1vdar4/a_78_stage_build_for_project_m_302_back_and/) PM mod.

My other Mario stage and Magnet Train are in there too. Neat.

Where do I put the images for the SSS on your stages? I tried editing one of the common.pac files (3), but so far all I could get working was the music screen. I'm using Bowser's Castle over Flat Zone 2.

Stage and character select screen files are in common5.

I'm making a game. A platformer. The shortest I can put the basic idea is "Super Paper Mario except not [dukar]ty"
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F0oz1ofx.gif&hash=ba8596d5287656a685acfa16ba5079dd)
That's Drominus Hellcleave in blue and Freddie in orange. They've each got a button for their moves. This is the punch-kick-axe-club combo you get by tapping Drom's button. You can hold the button instead of tapping to go right into the club.
Not a mock-up. I mean this is something I've been doing for the last month or so in Unity, making a little progress every day. I've gotten a lot of other things done that more or less work exactly as I'll want them in the final product but what I'm focusing on right now is the kind of stuff that will be relevant no matter where you are, so then I can build around that for stuff that's relevant most of the time. Maybe in about another month, that will all be finished and I'll be ready to make work with specific enemy AI, specific NPCs, specific levels and [dukar]. Then... then I'll be some fraction of the way done. A fifth? Even when all the coding is done (simple game mechanics that can be applied in a lot of different ways is the key to success if you ask me) that's gonna be a lot of crap to draw.
But I like drawing crap, hence the following

I can't wait to see how your game turns out! I bet it will do well.
I like when you draw crap too, since the majority of the time, it looks awesome!
Such as the attached Lemmy Koopa on Boom-Boom's head (is that Lemmy? I still get my Koopalings mixed up after so many years..)
-
You're doing this solo?
-
Yup. No crowdfunding and no team. Except voices. Out of everything I need to do and currently can't, a variety of little Zelda-like voice bits is the one thing I don't think I could even learn to do because my vocal cords just physically aren't the ones I'd need. But Jim's are. So, just me and him. Which is just as well because games published on Steam Greenlight can only be set up to pay to one bank account, so if I only need help from one person who trusts me to give him his cut, I don't have to open a bank account for a business.
Now is the right time for doing this. Steam and Nintendo are holding out their hands for self-publishing. The tools exist for anyone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u39AmLJRw6Y) willing to learn to use them. And... well, I'm not gonna say that big game companies are about to collapse under the sheer expensive weight of their own unfulfilled ambition, unfinished and unasked-for game mechanics, and needless spectacle, but if they do, cheap simple games with focus made by single people or small groups of people who do know what they're doing will be there to pick up the pieces...
@Toad Yeah it's Lemmy.

This isn't the above-mentioned project (although I think I may as well throw it in as a mini-game), but here's Buttkicker. (http://ludicrouspower.com/buttkicker.html)
Yeah, you can't play it without the Unity web player plugins or whatever. I won't blame you for being too lazy to do that
It's a Game & Watch-style (because if I'm gonna do retro **** I'm not doing it halfway) game in which you must protect small animals from having to look at butts or faces by kicking and punching, respectively. It features a handsome man, a woman with glasses, a dead pirate and a strong female protagonist.

11/10.
In all actuality, if I wasn't on a Mac, I'd play it

Oh god. It's beautiful.

I think this standalone version (http://ludicrouspower.com/buttkickerstandalone.rar) will work on a mac
(also fixed glitches, changed controls, added controller support)

Pshaw!
I shaded all the sprites I've made so far because there's going to be this water move:
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F5hS045m.gif&hash=9a2a14e2e10360a35781153b0c3e28f6)
which called for a darkening/contrast-raising effect (surprisingly I actually had to make a custom material shader to do this) for things made wet and shading to accentuate it. As for what else it does... nothing, yet. How anything reacts to a specific hitbox is going to have to be done on a case-by-case basis. But the funny thing is, I played Mario Sunshine again to see if it had any interesting applications for water that I could steal the [dukar] out of. And I ended up taking note of only one thing: expanding cloud platforms. Nearly everything else FLUDD does is either completely obvious, or makes no sense and is only there because when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Take away Mario's punches and kicks, suddenly everyone is hurt by water. A springboard that you switch from carry mode to use mode by spraying with water? WHY NOT. Fortunately I already have some other ideas of what to do with water, involving buckets, oversized cattle prods, ice, and things like that...

The death sequence (sans Freddie, whom I've yet to animate dying). The grave stays where it is after the player respawns and can be picked up, thrown, stood on...
Those little lantern guys on the left are just some placeholder objects for tests. In the likeness of these little lantern guys I made up for another game concept I want to do later. And as NPCs in this. And most every other game I make in the future because I love them

^That, specifically, isn't gonna happen, I drew that just for fun... although, specific stuff that's going to go on in the narrative is still up in the air and not of the highest concern. I do know that, for this, I want disconnected self-contained stories within the larger one like Paper Mario, but with a little potential for sequence breaking... or even total nonlinearity, in the case of a New Game + where you have all your moves already.
Nothing about game development is interesting and I am sorry to have betrayed your expectations

Felt like doing some 3D so I made this stage that I'd had in mind for years, the minish bar in TMC because the minish are gr9

Somebody else (http://pmunlocked.tumblr.com/) made the Minish Cap Link mod.
I probably won't make a whole lot more stages. I want to redo Osohe Castle and I've already got some work done on one based on Parachute but I'm running out of stages I want to replace in my Project M build and should be putting time into other Good Stuff

Those Rayminish frighten me.
GBA table's a great touch.
