Collab: Five Nights at Famicom Guest Stars!

[Jango]

So if you were following me in this thread, I've been making an NES/Famicom demake of the office from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. I've made pretty much every animatronic that shows up in the office, but for fun, maybe it would be neat to have other robots in there!

Maybe not the best example, but come on, work with me, people.

Building off of the idea that the materials are supposed to be like a Hong Kong bootleg game, and that these bootleg games tend to have unrelated extra characters in them for no reason whatsoever, my hope is that we can get some non-Five Nights at Freddy's characters in there. Anyway, here are the ground rules:

• Try to limit your palette as much as possible. I'm not imposing NES/Famicom limits on you (although it's an optional challenge, which I'll get to later), but nothing too colorful.
• Templates are provided at the bottom. Stay within the black boundaries.
• ADDITIONALLY, Black is free. If you do a challenge, using the color black will NOT count against your color limit. The magenta doesn't count either, but you can't use that for coloring.

Here are some examples if you didn't visit the thread.

So now, what are the challenges, you're asking? Well, they're optional "handicaps" you can put on yourself to challenge your inventiveness. While you're not required to do any of these, I thought it would be a fun way to get some ideas on your animatronic. There's a lot of them, so I put them in spoilers for you.

Spoiler: Challenges (click to show)

The Cupcake Challenge
Life is good when things are simple. Keep your palette limited ONLY to NES/Famicom colors.

Foxy Challenge
Foxy was always a bit twitchy, and so is his wardrobe. Use a palette from a video game system that ISN'T the NES/Famicom (ie: Atari 2600, Gameboy, Virtual Boy, Sega Master System, etc etc)

Mangle Challenge
How many heads does this thing have? Make your animatronic be an ungodly hodgepodge of multiple things.

Balloon Boy Challenge
He's laughing because boys rule and girls drool. Make your animatronic look masculine.

Chica Challenge
I can't put my arms down! Make your animatronic have an unnatural neutral pose.

Toy Chica Challenge
It's all about girl power, yo. Make your animatronic look feminine.

Bonnie Challenge
Something borrowed? You mean my face? Make your animatronic have severe damage (ie: missing limbs, wires sticking out, exposed exoskeleton, etc etc)

Toy Bonnie Challenge
If you wanna shred with Toy Bonnie, you're gonna need to audition! Give your character a musical instrument.

Toy Freddy Challenge
It's not easy being a star. Limit yourself to 12 colors.

Shadow Freddy Challenge
It's even harder living in someone's shadow. Limit yourself to 9 colors.

Freddy Fazbear Challenge
Show these new guys that old school is superior to new school. Limit yourself to 6 colors.

Golden Freddy Challenge
It's difficult being a murderer if you get blood everywhere. Disguise it by limiting yourself to 3 colors.

4/20 Challenge
Do you think you're the best night guard there is? Prove it by spriting your animatronic without a base!

10/20 Challenge
Good lord is this even possible? Find out by designing your own animatronic from scratch.

If you decide to take any of those challenges, just make a mention of them in your submission post.

Anyway, here's hoping we get some cool entries. I might post some pointers on easy ways to convert 3D Models over to NES-quality sprites, but that'll be later if anything.

Good luck!

EDIT: For those of you that are doing the Cupcake Challenge (NES/Famicom rules), here's all the colors the NES is capable of displaying.

Yes, a big chunk of that is duplicate colors.

If you're going to attempt the Foxy Challenge, you can find a bunch of the available console palettes on this page

EDIT 2:
We got templates

The one on the left is the left vent, and the one in the right is the hallway. The right vent is a mirror image of the left vent.

Is there a way you can post the available color palette that the NES supports?

[Jango]

Done, edited the initial post.

[Janis L.C.V.]

Do you think you'll take anything for the air vents? And if so, can you offer a blank template of the air vent to use?

[Jango]

Added templates for the Left Vent and The Hallway (the right vent is just the left vent mirrored).

[GTOAkira]

thats pretty cool will see if I come up with something good

[MotorRoach]

I feel that there will be a lot of uncreative deviantart animatronic fancharacters Rareware in this

[Niitris]

That's what I was thinking of; dammit.

I miss Rare.

First thing that ran in my head when seeing the initial project.
FIVE NIGHTS AT 7 GRAND DAD'S

[GTOAkira]

How does this look

War from TMNT

That's actually pretty darn impressive! The only thing is the claw getting clipped off. If you don't mind working it again, I'll give you SPECIAL PERMISSION to extend the template so you can fit the whole claw in.

Looking good so far! I guess it's okay to throw in one that I made.

Handsome Freddy Challenge: Be fucking handsome.

Oh man, I kept seeing that image but I never knew where it was from (I ended up googling it). It works really well!

Chica Challenge
Golden Freddy Challenge
4/20 Challenge (If you used a base, I can't tell)

Hmmmm... It definitely looks like it has potential and now I want to read that manga. But I think where the image takes a hit is the details. It took me a while to figure out that those things were hands, and I think the hair's shading is a bit too complicated for the style. I think I'd probably make the outlines look a bit more clear so that it's easier to tell where the hair ends and the hand begins. I dunno if you do this, or if anyone does this here, but I find it easier to do the initial art in grayscale because it makes you focus on getting the shading and details correct, after which you apply the colors.

It's a good start though.

Not bad, although I wonder about the direction he's facing. I think it would work better if it was mirrored.

I didn't make any today because I'm working on some Christmas projects. I'm liking the variety we're getting so far!

Alrighty. I'll check those problems out sometime later today. Thanks.

LATER TODAY

There still needs to be work done on the face hands. Any tips?

Spoiler (click to show)

Also I shouldn't have gotten that 4/20 challenge because the process to make this sprite was me shrinking the art, saving it as a 16-bitmap and adjusting,

[GTOAkira]

here another one  wanted to do something different

Would like to know if it look good
