Sprite Jam: Modern Monster Manual


It's time to update the entries in the Monster Manual*.
Chainmail and plate armour are fine but, to make a good first impression, nothing beats an Armani suit.
How do the fantastic creatures of yore fare in today's society?

  • You must depict a fantastic creature and how it would look living in modern times.
  • The creature sprite should be AGS ready.
  • The creature doesn't need to be humanoid but it must be clearly integrated with today's culture for better or worse.


The winners will receive the following trophies:



                   

   The Accountant - The Hairdresser - The Burger Flipper   


The rest will receive a participation trophy as well!

Yeah! The AGS community has a new tour de force for pixel art in our new friend CaeserCub! Quick, someone slip him some decaf coffee and tie him up to the Sludge-O-Matic before some major games company finds out about him!

CaesarCub

I'm glad you like the trophies, but Mandle please stop it, you are embarrassing me :-[

"Fantastic creature from modern times."

Could that also include a classic monster (example: A goblin or a minotaur) dressed in modern day attire (like a hip-hop get up or modern day business attire)?  Or does it have to be entirely new altogether?

The idea is about modernising old creatures like goblins or minotaurs. Business and hip hop attires are valid. I'll see to reword it so it is more clear :D

Hmmm... well, I guess I can take time off my current game project to take part in a few small contests... it'll be great practice, after all.

For my idea... I've been kinda thinking about a high-kicking succubus (kind of a "succubus Rockette").

[Update] Finally prepared my entry.



This is the Succubus Rockette (also known as the Can-Can Succubus).

Description: Even in modern times, the succubi (plural of succubus) are known for using their sex appeal to ensnare their victims.  So they always keep their eyes open for the latest trends to make themselves alluring.  Some of them are known to wear sling bikinis, string bikinis, tankinis, or otherwise modern-times revealing attire (in their minds, the more revealing and sexier, the better).  They've also studied the Rockettes in the USA and the can-can dancers of the Moulin Rouge in France.  Combining these two, their high kicking (and jiggling... er, "assets") make them very tempting indeed.  But to any (assumed straight) male who reads this, whatever you do, if they invite you to come see them in their private rooms, turn down the invitation, or it'll be the last "one night stand" you'll ever have.

Yay, two great entries!  ;-D

Yep.  Grok had a good entry too (like a twisted version of the catbus from My Neighbor Totoro).

As for mine, I know I didn't animate her... assets, but I wasn't sure how to do that without ruining the sprite.

Blondbraid

At first I thought about drawing a zombie playing Pokemon Go,
but it felt like kind of a cheap shot so I decided to go with a mermaid instead.

Things have really changed in the ocean the last hundred years, most of all the levels of pollution.
This mermaid's hair isn't naturally green. She swam too close to an oil leak, and unable to clean her
hair she has now given up and decided to cut it off instead.

And forget about snappy seashell or starfish bras, due to the abrupt changes in their natural habitat most of them are unable to develop properly.
Luckily for her she found lots of discarded T-shirts in a huge mass of trash roughly the size of Europe which happened to float around in the Pacific ocean.


Trample Pie



A centaur wants to race professionally, but was told he needs a jockey.


DBoyWheeler

To Trample Pie:
Pfft! (falls over laughing) Man, the centaur has a face as if to say "Is this 'jockey' enough?"

Mandle

OMG!!! That centaur, though...That is awesome!

Trample Pie


selmiak

This cerberus got domesticated and adapted his lifestyle to the human needs soon. He now earns his cash by delivering newspapers to your front door without the the slimy spit his competitors deliver it with.

If he's a cerberus, where are his other two heads?
Or were they amputated when he was domesticated.
