Oh snap, I didn't think about that. I'm basing off a 15 x 24 sprite and I drew outlines for a 75 x 69 sprite of the same character, in a different pose.
By the way does it have to be in an actual style? Because I don't know much about spriting in a specific style...

No it doesn't. Go nuts.

Heh, now that's outta the way, I barred myself from using SNES & Genesis Classics/Crapfests as well to make the challenge a little more intresting for me (this bars titles such as Ganbare Goemon, which is a classic, too for the SNES side).

For the Genesis side, I'll start hunting once I have my SNES entry finished.

I'm bored so I'm going to give some stuff in yoshi's cookie a graphic overhaul.

Hey, this is a cool way to approach things!
It's not the only way though, using a game like Super Metroid or Ganbare Goemon may be more interesting as well. Games like that would offer you the chance to really experiment with the design of a character or create an original character using one as a base.
Also, if you're broke for ideas, here are some suggestions

Ryu Hyabusa (Ninja Gaiden Trilogy)
Hagane (Hagane, SNES)
Rick Taylor (Splatterhouse III version, Genesis)
Castlevania: Bloodlines

is there going to be a time limit for when we submit it?
Also after the contest can I put the sprite in the spriting in pixelart for it to be c + c?

the end date is the twelfth of this month, and yes you can

Well, I found that Mega Man is a character that's constantly re-imagined awhile back. Took me a good amount of time for me to realize that I need to do something different aside from the usual Mario/Mega Man/Sonic/Bomberman/Popular 3rd Party combo. Though, I had considered looking back at unused ideas during the character's development (Sonic) and adapt them in a way (as in, re-imagine the ENTIRE concept using a rejected idea), as the style I find the most "successful" was origionally meant for the Castlevania series, but expanded to DC superheroes/etc.

I did a full run and currently narrowing it down to these games:

Bren McGuire (Super Turrican, SNES)
Raita (BS Kaizou Tyoujin Shubibinman Zero, SNES)
Prince Talmit (Marvel Land / Talmit's Adventure, Genesis)

sticking this thread

I'm going to try and turn the dragon mini-boss from Space Harrier 2 into a Sonic 3 mini-boss.
Yay segments!

EDIT:

Progress!

Slaughter Sport isn't a great Genesis game.

Did I do it right?

(left is original, right is mine)

(yes the staff thing is horribly shaded don't mind me)

I wish to partake in this challenge

Moar Maui Mallard
hopefully its correctly fallowing the rules of the contest

he used to be alive until he took a lit torch into the gunpower storage room

trollerskates pretty good, but i'd like to see you change the design more, hiynastrike can do a lot more than that

The new sprite on the right serves as a testbed for the pose and style, still using the pallete limitations. Once I figured it out I'm gonna give this design a massive freakin' goddamn, bloody, mofo', sunnuva bitchin' revamp in the design, as I am trying to get in touch with my inner mojo for a full makeover.
