The TOPIC/PROMPT

The next topic is in! Since Pokemon seems to be on everyone's brains currently, the next topic is a Pokemon theme. While the character didn't do too well in actual game play, the Pokemon Trainer was widely liked and the ingenuity that he brought to the field. There the next topic is:

Create a 5 palette swaps of a Pokemon Trainer from any generation with a team of 3 Pokemon from any generation. Make sure you place the Trainer as well as the Pokemon within the palette swaps.

The Deadline for the palette swaps is November 11th, a month away.
So how does it all go down?
First, each month I will give a new topic/prompt. It is your job to follow that prompt and use that month to create a palette swap. What are these topics/prompts? i will get to that in just a second but they are just as they sound - a guideline to create the palette swap with.​
Second, after perfecting your palette swap; post it up! Please indicate that it is for the contest and not a general palette swap.​
Third, wait! It's that easy! Myself and the two other judges, Opossum and Swampasaur will evaluate the submissions at the end of the month and decide on a winner.​
So what are the Rules?
1. One submission per contestant. Submitting more than one submission will result in disqualification. You may edit your current palette swap with a new one though.​
2. Follow the monthly topic/prompt. On the first of the month, a new topic/prompt will be announced. These topics/prompts vary in definition. For example, there may be prompts such as:​
"Create a six color palette swap of Waluigi." This is a very restrictive topic/prompt and one I would like to avoid.​
"Create five color palette swap of a Mega Pokemon" That is a somewhat broad topic/prompt and will appear often.​
"Create a five color palette swap of a Fire using character." This is a very broad topic/prompt and can be left for creative interpretation from the participant.​
However, I will not be putting topics/prompts such as "Create a seven color palette swap of a Super Mario Bros. metal baby paper character wearing the sports outfit in a go-kart." Those will never ever appear in the contest. Not following the prompt/topic will either result in elimination of points or disqualification.​
3. Please host your images either on photobucket.com or imgur.com. Do not submit them via post attachment. Doing so will result in the judges ignoring the submission. In addition, please include your color swaps all in ONE picture or, if too big, two individual pictures. It helps with copying and pasting to the front page.​
4. The contest will begin on the first on the month, when the new topic is announced. From the 1st until the end of the month, please submit your artwork. Submitting late will result in a disqualification. Please be on time.​
5. Please remove all formatting prior to submission. Again, it helps when I copy and paste your submission to the front page. So now funky colors or fonts. In addition, please indicate that your artwork is a contest submission. Failing to do either will result in A) the judges ignoring it until the formatting is removed or B) counting it as a non-contest art piece.​
6. Critiquing is allowed but will be monitored.​
7. Descriptions of the color swaps are allowed and encouraged.​
8. Judges may not participate.​
10. Any paint software is available. However, if you don't want to sell your kidneys or resort to piracy to get Pohotshop, I suggest getting www.gimp.org. I will be posting a guide for GIMP in the next week or so.​
9. Have fun! :)
The CRITERIA for JUDGING
The judges will look for five criteria:​
1) Quality of Art: Basically, whether if the participants colored inside of the lines, showcases an understanding of color balance, etc.​
2) The Topic: Did participants follow the topic to a T? For example, if the topic asked "Make a 5 color palette swap...." but a user made six. That would cause negative points.​
3) Images: What kind of image was used. I understand that is is rather hard to find some good quality images. However, points will be taken off if poor quality artwork is used for the palette swap. Of course, the judges will take the character into consideration. Meaning: if the topic asked to make a palette swap of a fairly obscure character with hardly any images on Google and, therefore, the only image available is a crappy artifact-strewn piece of art. Bearing that in mind, I doubt there will be such a topic. I will create a topic where substantial art is readily available on google.​
4) Thought/Time: This was a hard one to label. Points will be added to a submission if it shows that a fair amount of time and thought when into the palette swap. This is indicated if the palette swap shows that the participant looked at other forms or characters with their palette swap. For indication, created an Isaac palette swap that includes colors from other characters in the games.​
5) Relative to Smash Bros.: When doing palette swaps, please keep how they would look in Smash Bros. in mind. Therefore, please include a red, green, and blue palette swap UNLESS the character is mostly one of the colors (examples include Sonic, Lucario, and Yoshi). Points will be taken off if one of those three are not included. As well, negative/posterized color swaps will also be awarded negative points.​
Please keep these criteria in mind when making your palette swap. You have a month so do some research, plan, and take your time with it.​
REWARDS
Aside from a pat on the back, bragging rights, your name on the front post, and as well as the good feeling one gets from wining a competition - I am currently trying to get a rewards system in place. I will update this in the near future.​
There are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places as well as honorable mentions (depending on how many people participated).​
TAKE IT THE STREETS!!!!
Want prizes, glory, and competition. Then advertise this! Tell all your friends or buddies about this! The more we have participating, the more fun it will get!​
THE TOPIC/PROMPT
NOTE: Since we are starting early, the first contest will be slightly longer lasting between August 24th and September 30th.​
Make a palette swap using the Super Smash Bros. Brawl colors swaps but on the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS models. The images can be found on the main site. All characters that appear on that site is game. Bear in mind that picking certain characters will result in smaller amount of palette swaps (for example, Pikachu has around 5 while Samus has 6.). Then, add an additional color swap that is not found in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Meaning, make your own additional specially created color swap from a SSBWIIU/3DS model.[/collapse]​

Palette swaps is an institution dating back to Smash 64. Palette Swaps helps players add a little flair to their characters, helps identify someone during online play, adds depth to the character, and celebrates the character/franchises history by referencing previous costumes. It is an institution that won't be changed any time soon. Despite the possibility of additional and/or DLC costumes, Palette Swaps are here to stay. So we will most likely see new palette swaps with more veteran and newcomer characters. While we wait for the launch of Smash 4, how about we get our art on and crank out some palette swaps ourselves!
Therefore, without further adieu, welcome to the Official Palette Swap thread! The rules are simple: post palette swaps of your favorite characters and I will add them to the main OP (original post).
The Rules

I know I said the rules are simple but I do have a few criteria to lay out:
  • 1. Only Nintendo, 2nd party, or viable 3rd party characters!
  • 2. Along with Number 1, 3rd party characters that have yet to appear on a Nintendo system such as Master Chief, Kratos, etc and 4th party characters such as Spiderman and Mickey Mouse. You get the idea. Any of these characters that are posted will not be added to the OP.
  • 3. While it doesn't have to be a work of art, please make it some what presentable. Simple coloring over that looks like a 3rd grader did it is unacceptable. At least make it look like you put in the effort.
  • 4. Feel free to make a single palette swap or multiple ones! If you make multiple ones, please include them into one single image to make it easier both you and me. *Please look at mine for reference.
  • 5. Feel free to request characters but please know that it may take away for people to fulfill the request. *As of right now, Requests are OPEN.
  • 6. If you would like to use one of the palette swaps for your character support thread, please contact the artist who did the palette swap to ask for permission.
  • 7. Veterans are allowed! You can either include them with the previous palette swaps, post without the previous palette swaps, or create an entirely different set of palette swaps.
  • 8. More than one palette swap is allowed and encouraged!
  • 9. Color swaps of possible costumes (i.e. a Demise costume for Ganondorf, a Dry Bowser costume for Bowser, a James McCloud costume for Fox) is permitted and can be requested.
  • 10. When you submit a picture, please make it all one picture instead of separated pictures. That makes adding pictures to the front post much easier. As well, please remove/avoid any font colors or font styles. Remove formatting.
Tips and Guides

This is a new section of the Palette Swap thread where artists can coach or give pointers/hints/advice to newcomers. If you have any input to give, please PM me or post in the thread. I will be working on easy ways to make your palette swaps to look professional and clean. Check back for more information!

I changed it. I have never played or really cared for the series. Though I did play the racing game but only at my friends place.

I wish my laptop wasn't in disrepair, I would have so many swaps made by now. It's a fun little hobby.

In the future, I will start posting my own color swaps. I already have a couple made, but I would like to update them a bit.

Awesome, I'm really digging Krom's palette swap the most
Thanks! While I don't really give myself positive feedback, I am a huge fan of the Blood Krom swap. I would definitely use that one if it was in the game. Vampire Krom!1

It is! I started getting into it this winter and it became something I enjoyed doing.

Here is a Ridley palette Swap I made:

[COLLAPSE="Ridley"]


Green Ridley - Based on the green variants of him.
Blue Ridley - Based on early artwork of him.
Gold Ridley - No basis
Red Ridley - Based off his Super Metroid appearance
Grey Ridley - Reference to Meta-Ridley[/COLLAPSE]

I don't honestly know how to make palette swaps, so I'll just have to tell you characters that there should be palette swaps of more than just a colour change. Observe this for bowser.

Only problem is, if they add Dry Bowser the other characters wouldn't be picked

Why? Dry bowser would just be a palette swap for bowser, not another character, just like Daisy was (kind of) a palette swap for Peach!

Venus, your Isaac swap doesn't seem to work, the image doesn't show up.

Also, I made some color swaps for Bowser Jr.:

[COLLAPSE="Bowser Jr."]


Yellow Jr. - Standard coloration.
Blue Jr. - No basis.
Red Jr. - No basis.
Green Jr. - No basis.
Sand Jr. - Based on Dry Bowser.
Black Jr. - Based on the dark palette swap of Bowser in Brawl.

Once we get enough submissions, I will start breaking the images into franchises for easier navigation. However, currently, everything is alphabetized.

I added it up under Bowser Jr. I also fixed Isaac. Do you mind if I add you to the list of artists?

Photobucket.com is what I usually go through. A simple google search will give you some results as well.

Well not exactly for a character I found likely to be in Smash, but one that I constantly trolled about back on the old board.



Each color is also a reference.
Ingore all the white spots; I wasn't going for absolute clarity.

I would love to see what you could do with Takamaru and Balloon Fighter's pallet swaps.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the closed sign in the OP.

If you can give me proper sized images of those characters I can see what I can do.
All I can find now are bad images below 300x300 pixels in size.

I added all of the submissions (Minus Krookadile. i will do that later).

It's cool. OO just posted a Balloon Fighter and someone will probably start working on a takamaru palette swap.

Could someone please tell me how to make this palette swaps or a program to download to be able to do it on the computer?

To answer both questions, Photoshop CS is the best since it has a handy color replacement tool. But Photoshop goes for a fairly high price and finding a free illegal copy online isn't always reliable. I suggest using GIMP if you are strapped for cash/don't want to illegally download. My computer with my "legal" copy of Photoshop died so, until I can find another copy, I am just using GIMP. There isn't a color replacement tool but you can do the same thing with the other tools.

Don't bother adding me; I don't plan on doing any more.

I just wanted to post that one particular image I made out of boredom.

Here's a good picture of him. All it needs is to be resized, duplicated, and recolored.

It is! I started getting into it this winter and it became something I enjoyed doing.
"Disrepair," may have been too strong a word. My backlight & lcd are broken. I was supposed to have it replaced, but something came up. I might have a working laptop within the next two months.

I got into it mid 2009, I think.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001EJVQDG

That is what I use. It is an older program now, but it does what I want it to do.


I might as well post the ones I've completed. I might edit them in the future.

[collapse="Dixie Kong"]
[/collapse]

[collapse="Tingle"]
[/collapse]

[collapse="Amaterasu"]
[/collapse]

Not very many. I have others just waiting on my laptop. Tingle's swaps are basically just a copy & paste of his face on his brothers so I don't know if that counts as a true recolor.

Great idea for a thread, Venus, alot of the swaps here look great. May I use the Isaac palette swap in his character thread? I'll give credit, ofc.

If I get some time I'd love to add a few palettes, but all the characters I would make would probably already get done by then. :awesome::ohwell:

Multiple ones are fine! We have like three King K. Rool swaps. More the better! Feel free to use the Isaac palettes!

Ok, I will add those up later today! Very good work everyone!

I wanted to mention requests. I am opening requests. However, please know that your request may or may not be fulfilled. It depends entirely on the artist if they want to take the request or not. Therefore, if you want to make a request for a character, please read the following rules:

  • Character name
  • The franchise the character belongs to
  • How many you color swaps you want
  • If you have any color swap preferences
  • (Optional) A nice-sized clear picture

A artist may or may not decide to pick up a request. If a artist would like to, please reply by saying you will take it and I will then update the OP as the request taken. An artist can also PM me that they will take a certain request and I will update the OP afterward.

Thank you.

Any specific colors you'd like?

In the mean time, Kid Icarus' Fighter:
[collapse="Fighter"]


Yellow Fighter - Regular
White Fighter - Light Team
Black Fighter - Dark Team
Blue, Green, Red Fighters - Team colors for Team battles.

Note that not recoloring his weapon isn't me being lazy, but keeping with the Smash Bros. theme - look at Samus, Pit, Fox or Ike - none of them have their weapons recolored.[/collapse]

I've been a bit bored, so here's another one:

[collapse="Pac-man"]


Yellow Pac - Default palette.
Red, green, blue Pac - Team colors.
Sand Pac - Using somewhat 'old' colors to show his age :).
Pink Pac - Reference to Mrs. Pac-Man.

I also tried to change his body-colors as little as possible, just like Sonic has in Brawl. I couldn't figure out how to do the blue one, though..[/collapse]

Also, anyone can feel free to use any of my palettes in one of your threads :)
