Ristar Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 it looks like the bombs from final fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It looks like a giant fireball. Basically in no way suited to being a final boss for anything. Doomed to forever being nothing more than an oddity fight or even just an obstacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 from what i can tell, it seems like you've just jumped straight into your game with little to no planning. how does this boss relate in any way to the plot of your game? i think you should really research some final bosses for a start, they're usually huge complex or symbolic looking things. Your design feels very uninspired, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Your Face, Jesus!Even if you manage to deal with him that time, you're not done -- the villain will then transform into his final form, which is always an angelic winged figure with background music remixed for ecstatic chorus and pipe organ So go and draw that one-winged angel already!

Sonic Maverick3000 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Guys, remember. YOU don't even know what my game is about, and also, these are sketches, so nothing is final yet. I've already drawn two other layouts for this boss.

DimensionWarped Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've already drawn two other layouts for this boss. Layouts? So like what, one of them has his arms out of place and another has him with juxtaposed scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 There is nothing to fix as far as any of us care to note. It's just not what you want it to be. When you see a duck, you don't ask what you can do to that duck to turn it into a monkey do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 There is nothing to fix as far as any of us care to note. It's just not what you want it to be. When you see a duck, you don't ask what you can do to that duck to turn it into a monkey do you? Remove bill, give the monkey kinda mouth with teeth and stuff. Two ears replace feathers with fur Hands (with opposable thumbs!) feet with cute little toes long, curly tail poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEV3 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 With all due respect, I believe that if you are asking someone to make the commitment of spriting what appears to be a rather vague and difficult boss, then they have a right to know a little bit more about it. If you want to keep things under wraps and this is just for PR, then see if a friend you trust is interested and have them take care of it for you. Personally, I think you may have wanted to wait until you were a bit further along to ask for a spriter. As for constructive criticism, I think it needs a little bit more detail. You might have a hard time getting away with such a simplistic design even in a sidescrolling final boss given Sonic's reputation for rather complex doomsday weapons (even the creatures are rather detailed). Again, I have no idea what could be the context of the beast, so I cannot really offer much advice as to how to portray it. One concept that is sure to work regardless of what it is, make the face it's head and give it some other parts of the body... it can still take up a lot of space, but it simply cannot be the only aspect of the monster. It would be more simplistic than your badniks and the player would wonder how it can be a more interesting threat. Perhaps you could make it into something like a giant squid with hands instead of the two long tentacles, and fire where the rest of the squid's body would be... or perhaps some kind of core with other objects surrounding it . If you're really going for the face thing and believe anything further would ruin the effect, how about making the (burning?) face into the background, and just have Super Sonic fight his hands. (Was Andross handled this way?) You could probably have several different ways to build on this attack, maybe have him blow fire, send other things out (tentacles?) to attack the player, et cetera. When Sonic kills each hand, it proceeds into One-Winged Angel phase and will have a design more suitable a final boss. So, basically if you want it to work, it needs to appear less uninspired. Show why this final boss is going to be really interesting to fight against. Pay attention to detail, even if you don't think there will be any. Hope this helps. Good luck with your game!

Sonic Maverick3000 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 WHOA, HOLY SIMILAR! Well, here's a third design I made (I dunno where the heck the 2nd one went >_< )The second one kinda Gaara from Naruto (and no, I'm no Narutard, as my friends call it).

DJ espeed Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Mother brain... Minus the brain. Just for laughs folks, although I do say it's just the concept of a cyclops-type enemy that makes it similar. That, and the horns coming from the head.
