16th Anniversary Wrap-up

We’ve had some fun during these anniversary updates, but it’s time to wrap it up, B!

Custom Sprites:
– Capcom: Protoman (with variant)
– Golden Axe: Longmoan
– IREM: Giant (Kung-Fu Master)
– Konami: Sledge (Vendetta/Crime Fighters 2)
– – Castlevania: Trevor Belmont, Sypha (SotN Cape up variant of the earlier sprite)
– IREM: Straw from Ninja Baseball Bat Man
– Sega: Sonic the Hedgehog, who decided to take off right as I took the pt.1 picture and that other sprite of his hasn’t shown up yet.

– Streets of Rage: Mr. X (all-new, sprited from scratch) and Nora
– Taito: Sayo-chan (a.k.a. Pocky) from Kiki Kai Kai, Zeke from Zoo Keeper (both in-game and cabinet art styles)
– Rare: the Dark Queen
– DC Comics: Black Canary (an early version was seen in the site promo videos)
– Marvel Comics: a new Wasp sprite. Don’t worry, I’ll make more outfits for her later!
– TMNT: Shredder (same pose as the 2013 sprite, but redrawn & resprited to look much better)
– G.I.JOE: Snake-Eyes and Scarlett. BTW: an early version of Scarlett’s sprite was in the unannounced new banner displayed only on July 4th this year.

All those sprites were added to the GFX Generators (the old GroupShot and Vs generators).

that Chun-Li pic I drew last month is now in the prints section of the site’s Shop page!

Well, I’m done waiting for Sonic, so now it’s to debut the brand-new mission statement video!


(edit: earlier version had a botched pixel ratio this is the fixed version)

… Hey, there’s the other Sonic sprite! It’s in the gallery and GFX Generator, too!

I hope you had fun with these updates!

ScrollBoss 16th Anniversary, pt. 3

You’re just in time to witness pure, unadulterated evil in pixel form!

Custom Sprites:
– Golden Axe: Longmoan
– IREM: Giant (Kung-Fu Master)
– Rare: the Dark Queen
– Streets of Rage: Mr. X (all-new, sprited from scratch) and Nora

All these sprites were added to the GFX Generators (the old GroupShot and Vs generators).

You know, I’m still waiting for that Sonic sprite from Tuesday’s update to show up. Maybe he’ll be in tomorrow’s wrap-up post…

ScrollBoss 16th Anniversary, pt. 2

The first anniversary update was all gaming characters, but now it’s time give a few comic and toy license characters some love!


Custom Sprites:
– DC Comics: Black Canary (an early version was seen in the site promo videos)
– Marvel Comics: a new Wasp sprite. Don’t worry, I’ll make more outfits for her later!
– TMNT: Shredder (same pose as the 2013 sprite, but redrawn & resprited to look much better)
– G.I.JOE: Snake-Eyes and Scarlett. BTW: an early version of Scarlett’s sprite was in the unannounced new banner displayed only on July 4th this year.

All sprites were added to the aforementioned GFX Generators (the old GroupShot and Vs generators). Wasp’s new sprite has slightly different colors than her 2011-2012 sprites, but I remade all her old palettes, because Jan’s gotta switch things up. Snake-Eyes’ new sprite also has multiple palettes.

Also: that Chun-Li pic I drew last month is now in the prints section of the site’s Shop page!

So we saw video game heroes yesterday and 80s nostalgia today, but things take a turn for the sinister tomorrow with an all-villain update!

ScrollBoss 16th Anniversary, pt. 1

To everyone who has checked out the site back in the days of Vs. Mode fights and Minus World madness (the site section, not the completely different website), those who just visited for the first time today and every party person who falls somewhere in between, thank you for stopping by and making these sixteen pixel-packed years fly by. Get ready for multiple days of anniversary updates, starting with a seven-sprite kickoff!


Custom Sprites:
– Capcom: Protoman (with variant)
– Konami: Sledge (Vendetta/Crime Fighters 2)
– – Castlevania: Trevor Belmont, Sypha (SotN Cape up variant of the earlier sprite)
– IREM: Straw from Ninja Baseball Bat Man
– Taito: Sayo-chan (a.k.a. Pocky) from Kiki Kai Kai, Zeke from Zoo Keeper (both in-game and cabinet art styles)
– Sega: Sonic the Hedgehog… decided to start running right as I clicked on the GFX Generator screenshot maker. See, that’s just rude. Maybe someone told him Protoman was the coolest person in the pic or perhaps he was scared off by the Zoo Keeper. Don’t worry, this isn’t the only update this week, so let’s see if I can get him to slow down for another sprite before the anniversary updates are done.

All sprites were added to the aforementioned GFX Generators (the old GroupShot and Vs generators).

All AmeriCon Convention and Generator progress.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ve been getting ready for the the All AmeriCon convention in Warren, Ohio (click the link to find details on their Facebook page).


Part of that preparation was finally getting around to doing some line art for prints, but I also made two new pixel art prints and those prints have just been added to the shop page:

The Legend of Zelda pic is based on the NES ending and, well, you’ll see this in something else I’m working on for the site. The JLA print has sprites (or variations of them) I made from scratch before with a few all-new sprites and an all-new background. Again, they’re available in the site’s shop and I’ll have them with me at the All AmeriCon convention this weekend!

It’s not on the site yet, but I’ve made a bit of progress with the new version of the generators:

I’ve got the oval and sprite-shaped shadows working and the reflections are next. It’s taking a lot of time to unravel my crappy old coding to replace with my current level of crappy coding, but it’s good to have it at 75% of what the original version does.
