21 Bowsers in different game styles! Which is your favorite? #BowserPosting / #PIxelArt - ThreadSky

I'll have to choose Kirby's adventure+ Shovel Knight

I just love how bright and smooth the sonic pallet and art style is. It's really stood the test of time imo. And bowser looks great in it. I also like the metal slug one. It has so much character to it.

The Simpsons bowser made me chuckle
Also I can tell by the shade of white but that's the sonic 3 pallete not sonic 1's X>

reply

izzi8bit.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's funny, I used colors from all three Sonic games so it's more of a homogenous goo of the games. I should've just went with Mania haha.

reply

miraclewillow1.bsky.social•175 days ago

Yeah it definitely works to the normal passerby, I only noticed cus I did a s3 mod before and also played too much hedgehog game before X>
Also the pizza tower sprite caught my eye first that one's also fun

reply

izzi8bit.bsky.social•175 days ago

Believe it or not, Pizza Tower was one of the ones I was the most nervous about. I don't know, it feels like someone's individual art style, while the others I can blanket think of them as a team effort. But it's also one of the ones that had the least changes when I was working on it

I like the Mega Man Bowser best of all ~

reply

vezouta.bsky.social•172 days ago

Turtles in Time, Punch Out and Simpsons are my favorites!

reply

neoriceisgood.bsky.social•175 days ago

Hot damn these are amazing! My fav is super Mario Bros 2 I think.

How many are you aiming for?

reply

izzi8bit.bsky.social•175 days ago

Probably do 50 of them.

reply

neoriceisgood.bsky.social•175 days ago

100 is such a nice solid number though. :3

reply

izzi8bit.bsky.social•175 days ago

I'm only one woman, and got lots of projects to focus on D:

reply

neoriceisgood.bsky.social•175 days ago

:3 very well. But know your Bowser project is freaking awesome. I'm really impressed by it so far.

My cat's name is Bowser. He used to belong to my nephew, who names his cats after characters from the SMB franchise.

reddslym.bsky.social•173 days ago

God now I want more Ducktales Bowser in general

reply

petah-petah.bsky.social•175 days ago

My favs would have to be FFVI and Pizza Tower, both for different reasons. They're all incredible tho

reply

tostitoast.bsky.social•174 days ago

I love anything mother related

reply

shawnvanguard.bsky.social•174 days ago

Pokemon Yellow was my first ever pokemon Game that was mine only,so that's number 1. I really like the Donkey Kong Country style, and adore the TMNT style after,as Bowser would fit right in.

reply

koda.wah.ninja•174 days ago

You got me for a second, I thought these were all Easter eggs in all these games... Cave story gets my vote anyway

reply

pigmint.bsky.social•175 days ago

holy moly these rock especially the tmnt and the dkc ones (even if we all know this looks way better than if it actually was in dkc haha)

reply

dontaericeart.bsky.social•175 days ago

I'm gonna be looking at all of these for the next 10 minutes or so, wanted to say I love these a lot. A wonderful job on all of em. The way you fit Bowser's expression to fit each title is stellar.

hamishsteele.bsky.social•175 days ago

Omg could you imagine if he popped in dk country! It'd be the greatest crossover in history

Very fantastic sprite work!

The "Dead Franchise" style bowser. More accurate.

I can picture the cheesy voice over before his boss fight blaring on the arcade speakers, already~!

I REALLY would love some speed paints T~T

All the sprites look amazing

reply

ectoarmadillo.bsky.social•175 days ago

Really digging the FFVI one!

They are all great, though. Difficult to choose a favorite.

reply

twilord.bsky.social•175 days ago

That's crazy impressive.

Think you could do him in a classic Tamagotchi/Digimon sprite style? So few pixels and no colours.

reply

izzi8bit.bsky.social•175 days ago

I'll add it to the list.

reply

naturalseasons.bsky.social•175 days ago

Gotta go with the Pizza Tower one.

techcoyote.net•175 days ago

Tie between DKC and Pizza tower

reply

isaacrb.bsky.social•174 days ago

For me, Mother 3, The Simpsons Arcade game, Duck Tales, Mega Man and The Legend of Zelda

reply

woogigooie.bsky.social•175 days ago

okay but actually that shovel knight bowser is doing something to my brain

reply

sammygoeshowdy.github.io•170 days ago

all of these look fantastic but i do want to step in a bit and say that the sonic 1 sprite you did here is definitely more sonic 3 like than sonic 1, despite this i still think you did a great job on him

reply

synersteelcco.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's difficult to choose, they're all so imaginative and accurate! Donkey Kong Country brings back the most memories though. I love the shading!

reply

2dongz.bsky.social•175 days ago

The Shovel Knight one is ADORABLE

reply

usernametaken017.bsky.social•175 days ago

If only bowser was in SMB2

reply

enforcergrimfang.bsky.social•175 days ago

DKC, FFVII, and PkmnYellow.

Kirby is also cute!

reply

evovivi.bsky.social•175 days ago

Okay wow DKC Bowser looks amazing~! 😍🔥

reply

kuramichan.bsky.social•175 days ago

The Cave Story one! 😍 makes me sad seeing almost no one mentions him 😤

reply

macid.bsky.social•175 days ago

That pizza tower one is really cool!

reply

childdog.bsky.social•175 days ago

This is one of the coolest video game art ideas I've seen on social media. Gonna have to go with The Simpsons Arcade Game because it's got hugely special meaning to me, but these are phenomenal.

reply

megafan1137.bsky.social•175 days ago

I want a hug from Superstar Bowser and I am not kidding

reply

xenosupial.bsky.social•175 days ago

They're all great! but shovel Knight stands out to me ✨

reply

lorule.bsky.social•173 days ago

Final Fantasy VI Bowser got that drip on him.

reply

theafroburgerman.bsky.social•175 days ago

Final Fantasy VI because he looks like an Oni
Metal Slug because of the war aesthetic
Pizza Tower because it reminds of The Super Mario Brothers Super Show

reply

captainsupreme.bsky.social•175 days ago

Ooo, I missed the Turtles in Time Bowser

reply

redacculous.bsky.social•175 days ago

Mother 3 because I am very biased

reply

mdashow.bsky.social•175 days ago

Great work! My faves are Mother3 followed by Shovel Knight. Nice clean shapes and expressions with simple cel shading. Honorable mention for Pizza Tower for that derpy face 🤪

reply

chargephobia.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's gotta be either Kirby Super Star or Pokemon Yellow.

reply

flounder.bsky.social•173 days ago

Donkey Kong Country or Mega Man.

reply

mogarprime17.bsky.social•173 days ago

These all look amazing. Fuck, now that I think about it, Bowser would be perfect for the Pizza Tower series. I want to see him freaking the fuck out in that game like he's known to do in the RPGs. 😂

reply

medwardsva.bsky.social•175 days ago

This is such an absurdly cool idea and I love seeing how creative you got with these

reply

cynfulentity.bsky.social•175 days ago

All of these are great. Have you thought about what Bowser would look like in Celeste?

I hadn't, but I am now.

adriftinghollis.bsky.social•175 days ago

You didn't have to go in so hard on the DKC version, good lord...

I really want to hug Kirby Super Star's Bowser

reply

nidonemo.bsky.social•175 days ago

Excellent job!! I would totally believe he was a character in Punch Out that got cut, and I love the DKC sample, wonderfully done!

reply

duocolors.bsky.social•175 days ago

Given how Shovel Knight’s character sprites use only five colors, the Bowser Shovel Knight sprites seems a little inaccurate.

Other than that, these look good! I’d say my favorite is Kirby’s Adventure.

reply

captaincorndog13.bsky.social•175 days ago

Pizza tower for me, with shovel knight and cave story right behind it. These are all super fun!

reply

r6915ee.bsky.social•175 days ago

Don’t make me choose… 😫

reply

cherriicola.bsky.social•175 days ago

The Sonic one reminds me a lot more of Sonic 3&K in particular... not that that's a bad thing, 3&K is the best looking in the classic trilogy by far :D

My favourite overall is probably Turtles in Time, I love that game's spritework lol

reply

muskrat15.bsky.social•175 days ago

koolestkahuna.bsky.social•175 days ago

Donkey Kong Country, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Kirby Super Star are amongst my current favorites, with Metal Slug trailing right behind.

reply

kanokdoes.art•175 days ago

Honestly, the FF6, Chrono Trigger and Turtles in Time versions. I feel like the FF6 and Chrono Trigger versions could totally be secret bosses!

reply

sparkster2600.bsky.social•175 days ago

I need to praise you for your work on the Mega Man and DuckTales Bowsers. They have very similar graphical styles and trying to make them look distinct is hard, but you pulled it off brilliantly. You have my respect.
