How is this not a plagiarism? It's modificated Wario Land sprite

report it to nintendo then, faggot

A) limited number of ways to draw something as sprite resolution decreases
B) The designs look nothing alike
>wario has suspenders
>mustache instead of beard
>pronounced mischievous eyes
>a hat
>larger ears
>gloves
>color palette doesn't echo any outfit
>pointy shoes but that's a small choice

benbo quest got away with smb and mega man sprite edits on switch so i dont think they care

>>714574071
Unless it pulls a bigger fan base or profits source: Palworld.

>A) limited number of ways to draw something as sprite resolution decreases
Ok, let's say the sprite size is 24 by 32 pixels. That, and we have 4 different pixel colors available. So we have 768 pixels available to draw in, and 4 colors to choose for any given pixel. That means a total of 4^768 different sprites can be created, or 2^1536 simplified. Does that seem small? Limited? Well let me tell you, that's 2410312426921032588580116606028314112912093247945688951359675039065257391591803200669085024107346049663448766280888004787862416978794958324969612987890774651455213339381625224770782077917681499676845543137387820057597345857904599109461387122099507964997815641342300677629473355281617428411794163967785870370368969109221591943054232011562758450080579587850900993714892283476646631181515063804873375182260506246992837898705971012525843324401232986857004760339316736 exactly. That's how much your "limited number" of sprites that can be created on "decreased resolution" is. Exponentially more than the amount of observeable atoms in the universe.
So randomly creating something that even remotely resembles something else already created in that "limited" space yours, by chance, is actually extremely, extremely low.

you fucking retard I clearly mean there's a limited way to depict a specific thing in an artistic fashion the overwhelming majority of images in your 2^1536 possibilities would end up looking like noise

>modificated

>>714575253
there really isn't unless you're going for 8x8 or smaller

>>714575462
are you trying to argue that your sample size of 100 pixel characters (which includes like half of whom are recolors) is comparable to the 2^1536 "potential" sprites from the other post

>>714575253
>no, you see, I HAD to draw this character in the exact same pose and proportions as the Wario sprite. It would be completely incomprehensible if I didn't. Just ignore the fact that Nintendo managed to figure out how to vary it up the exact same character's pose and perspective more than I could. My guy has a different color short so it's completely different.

>>714575818
It's a 32x32 sprite you fucking retard

Why don't you draw your OC (with animation frames) in that space and see how special and unique you can make it

>>714573593 (OP)
Who the fuck is Paul?! Can't you morons ever type what kind of stupid game you are talking about?!

new undertale character looking litty

>>714575934
Looks up "32x32 character sprite" on Google and you will find dozens of images, none of which look like Wario from WL2.

>>714573593 (OP)
It looks about as different as Terraria is from FF5 (not very).
I also don't care and it doesn't seem like a big deal.

>>714575968
It's from Antonblast, which is basically Wario Land + Crash Bandicoot. Paul is a secret sprite you can find hidden in the levels as a joke

>>714576101
Oh, I forgot that all about that guy.
>>714577008
I see. I get that it's basically a traced sprite, but you could probably pull out some bullshit some transformative parody burger law thing if Nintendo ever sued, which they won't.

>>714577205
Nintendo also advertise the game themselves so they really don't care

>>714574006
wrong. This sprite was deliberatly made to resemble wario.

>>714574157
Yeah looking at Salaryman Shi or Antonblast being on Switch without any issues that seems about right, they don't care until it starts selling gazillions.

>>714575968
if you don't know what game it is then you wouldn't have an opinion on the subject worth sharing

Copyright law is a bag of dicks as is, if we spent every minute haggling over whether which detail is cribbing off of something else, we'd only have videogames of The Epic of Gilgamesh.

>>714580860
it's obviously edited/traced

>>714575127
the vast majority of those combinations won't resemble anything at all, let alone a large person

>>714573593 (OP)
The wario is so vastly better than the anton

>>714583928
i couldn't get into anton blast. too much crash bandicoot, too much screen crunch and shaky effects

>>714573593 (OP)
IP Law in all it's forms should be abolished, no man should be allowed a monopoly of an artistic idea in any shape or form.
