Food Fighters

"Since everything is supposed to be medieval theme, I threw in a character from the future." what, why? That doesn't make sense. Please elaborate.

Oh, I guess that what I get for not rereading or explaining. It doesn't make sense.

Well, the game will have 12 character total, 4 or which are unlockables. This character is one. The 8 starting characters are suppose to be "normal" characters. (Knights, Peasant, Jester, ect.) the 4 unlockable are more... "Special" characters. (King, Traveler(Chinese Take-out box), Undertaker, and the Time-Traveler) By "special" I just mean that they are more unique, i suppose.

He is a character from the future traveling back in time to fight in the "medieval" days. He is the "boss" of arcade mode, and beating him in arcade mode is how you unlock him.
So he really isn't medieval, per se, but his character is from the future fighting in the medieval times. Its just supposed to put a twist in the game.

anyway this project's issues aren't even the spriting itself (yeah, it can be better) but the main issue is the character design. They need to take more advantage of the 'food' theme with claver references. For example, Tonberry's burger knight looks better in concept because of the french fry sword and pickle shield: they have to do with the character, both as knight and hamburger. You should go for this in all the designs.

Yeah, I'm still tossing that idea around. When I first thought of the idea, they were just supposed to be food characters in medieval attire, hence the helmets and weaponry and all that good stuff. It is a great idea, I love the idea, I just have to think of all the characters new weaponry, because not all characters can use toothpicks. lol

You understand what I'm saying though? I do like the idea of using "food" in more places, like the fry sword and pickle shield, but I also like characters having medieval attire, like the metal helmet. Maybe there is a happy medium I could go for.

you could always do the medieval attire with food! I'm pretty sure you can find a funny and clever way to reference both characteristics.

Woo! It has been awhile, huh?
Anywho, I'm still working on characters and whatnot, but have been progressing very slowly during these holiday weeks.

I did this drawing a little while ago really quickly just to try to improve my digital drawing skills, I don't really do it too often, so bare with me. lol
It isn't a sprite or pixel art, but it has to do with the topic so I figured I would just post it here.


Anyway, on to the King sprite. I've been tossing an idea around for the Cake King. Since he is the King after all, I thought he should have servants. That brought me to tiny cupcake servants. I was thinking he could have the cupcakes carry him and/or follow him via pikmin style.

So here you see Cupcakes following him, Cupcakes carrying him, and a combination of both. Thoughts?

I think its funnier if the cup cakes carry/follow him the whole time.

I was thinking the same thing.
With that being said, does anyone have any C+C on the King and his design? If not that will probably be his design will be finalized .
