Time: January 27th to February 5th Goal: Make as many free-to-use mugs as possible
Guys, where’s the new mugging blitz? I can’t wait to submit my mugs!
No need to fret anymore, folks! You all know the drill, our goal is to make as many mugs as possible in the space of a week. At the end of it, all of the submissions will be released as a package free for anyone to use or edit in their projects.
Guidelines:
All skill levels welcome! Even if you’ve never made a mug, this is a prime opportunity to get started!
Anything is allowed; Splices, full custom sprites, memes, halfbodies, and all others.
Images should be GBA insertable format (including eye / mouth frames and minimug)
No TLP style minimugs. Please.
Submit by posting in this thread.
Joke or meme mugs are still perfectly okay to submit! In the package, mugs like these (as well as any mugs not in the GBA insertable format, or aren’t properly insertable) will be placed in a separate folder from the regular mugs, just like in Mugging Blitz Round 4.
Halfbodies will also be placed in a different folder.
Edits or revisions of your past submitted mugs in the same thread will be replacing the old version you’ve submitted.
Submitting someone else’s sprite as your own and not crediting them, or submitting someone else’s sprite that is NOT free to use is art theft and will not be tolerated.
Make sure to name the file by this format before uploading: [Creator] - [MugName].png
Example : Levin64 - Funny Man 420.png
(bmp file is allowed but who uses it nowadays though…)
Here’s Bruce, the strong but silent Mercenary with a focus on strength rather than speed. Could also work as a Fighter or Nomad
Mauve, the lord of my hack. This portrait is temporary and if I ever finish the project I’ll have a better one, so instead of just throwing the mug away, why not make it F2U?
I’ll probably have more submissions by the end of it.
(Also, credit to knabepicer for helping with colors on the first mug, and MournfulRelic for the mini on the second.)
There are much better ways of making minimugs, the easiest being just shrinking the portrait by 50% and cropping that to 32x32. TLP minimugs can often be seen as quite lazy as an option to take.
On the left is a normal mug, on the right is with a TLP mini.
Imo they aren’t horrible if every mug in your hack uses TLP minis, but given how many vanilla + F2U assets use the normal style, it’s easier to just make normal minis for your original mugs.
This will be different from my usual stuff.
Last month I made 3 completely custom portraits
(bare in mind that those are my first custom portraits
and their style is me trying to imitate the GBAFE style).
So without any further ado here you go:
I’ll submit a couple of splicess from my project here. All of my projects are F2U/F2E, so why don’t I just add some of em. I may attempt making new splices as well. We’ll see
