You could... link to something to make your case, no? YouTubes help! People are lazy. Lead the horses to water.

Eventually! (Soon-ish!)

Our esteemed Bio editors, Dafydd & Polo, prefer to work with manageable batches rather than having 50 new bios being needed at once. Our esteemed poobah, David J. Pretzel, prefers to work with manageable batches rather than having 50 new mascots being needed at once. It's more fun to vote and involve the people, that way we know what the community wants to see added first, and we can go by that priority. We're still going to add more later. It's not a huge database, it's just the pics on some Wiki pages; it's not going to be (nor is it meant to be) an exhaustive set of mascots for every major game represented on the site. It's just a rotation of game characters with bios to add something cool and informative. Bev, my votez r real: Tanooki Mario Amaterasu Bayonetta

Any important games can be listed in the bio whether they have ReMixes or not, but the sequel of a handheld spinoff, in this case, probably doesn't need to be listed by name in the Selected Appearances.

True! I've found a VERY suitable replacement for the list: Scorpion (Mortal Kombat) has joined the mascot battle!

Looks good! Voted up top, too.

It'd be better to label the columns with the voter names to reduce the potential for error. I thought this was inherent based on what we're looking for, but... 1) It's not enough to just have some grainy images, they need to be high-quality resolution without obvious scanning artifacts. 2) The art for the villains is cool, but unless it's a major/popular antagonist like Mr. X or Shiva from SoR2, we're probably not going to add bosses that are more minor. 3) Even if the hero images were really high quality, they're sketch style and don't have clean borders, which makes it more difficult for djp to cut the character out of the background. The images need clean lines, preferably on a white background. That said, I'm glad you looked, maybe something legit that would also be of usable quality will turn up!

Yeah. No. Any art we use has to be at least 250 x 250 and not just sprites. But that explains why a lot of old school characters are off limits if there's not hi-res full-body artwork out there.

Probably not. Have YOU ever seen official Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage artwork that has the characters full bodies? If you have, link it up.

"How come you don't already have every popular character EVAR?" Because we're not paid. [/most obvious answer to joke question ever] P.S. It's NOT a database.

I try and keep all the artist links as up to date as I can. Whatever pic you'd like to use doesn't have to be related to music, it just has to contain your face. Feel free to PM me with it and we'll add it soon!

But how much did we PAY him??? HINT: All the Kickstarter money, FF6 album is cancelled. Wait April Fool's ended. :'-(

Don't worry, I didn't miss that.

I mean both you and Polo, since you guys are overseeing this. No bios are going up without your oversight. As far as polls, you're definitely empowered to run your own polls, BUT... we don't need to for now. I've actually found over 100 viable images that I've already picked out thanks to Creative Uncut. So I'm checking with djp to see if he has, say, 5 characters he'd like to see get their bios worked on first. If I can actually get a fuller list of what he plans to add later, there'll be enough characters on deck to keep everyone busy for a LONNNNNG time, and we can do a poll of 10 choices, with 5 winners advancing. I think we're going to have an overabundance of great choices. Hold tight for more info. Once we get back in the groove of adding more mascots, we can also figure out also how best we can include fan art explicitly submitted by the artists on bio pages (not as mascots, according to djp), if we do indeed go that route.

Not quite: The legwork to find good images should come first. I'm saying more like, if you wanna write something for (hypothetically) Esmyrelda Maximus from Cryamore RIGHT NOW, just go for it and start working on it. Just be sure to check for a good image before you devote a ton of writing time, though if someone happens to write a bio first and finds the good image second, more power to 'em. When we have a good amount of images gathered, djp can implement them, and bios can be added to the Wiki when ready. I'm basically saying, don't worry about any polls for what characters are wanted. You guys are empowered to pick what you want and work on them with the priority that you want. Done. Spruced it up. http://ocremix.org/info/Mascot_Project_Guidelines

Nah, forget that poll. If you like all those candidates, y'all can get crackin' with images & bios and we'll get 'em going once a solid sized set is ready. The much smaller size is one aspect, and also that we're tying the visibility of these images with the educational component of the bios. Let's go!

Really awkward lack of transition at 1:41. All it did was jarringly break the flow of the track. The faux-electric geetar sounded pretty poor, initially for the first section and definitely at the others times it was brought back (e.g. 3:00). That sample just sounds fake and stilted. The arrangement was cool, Kevvvvv, but texturally this felt a bit sparse, and the instruments lacked energy (which made the dynamics seem more plodding than you intended, and the instruments really lacked smooth articulations as well. Anyone have any geetar tips for something non-Slayer? Shreddage could be your best friend. Good potential here, but the lack of polish is apparent. It's not to imply it's horrible, but it's pretty far off the mark production-wise. NO (resubmit)

Never heard of this person or her husband, but the music sounds awesome! BACKED!

That's not a good reason for not submitting it. Seriously, it still sounds awesome, so no worries about losing the source files. Definitely submit it any time and include some comments, and it's an easy direct post.

Y'all heard the man. Get your mascot images (no Squenix stuff though) and have at it as far as writing more bios! What's the ideal size for an image to start with? Is something like this Isaac too small?

I'll talk to djp and we'll see what we can do to move this forward. One important thing will be to take making new mascot images off of his plate if possible, and that means other people in the community being able to produce new mascots at the same exact standard of quality he does. 1) We need to know what minimum size & format makes for a high-quality-enough source image 2) I'm no Photoshop expert, but it takes some skill to do the transparency properly rather than sloppily 3) The shadowing used would have to match djp's style; and 4) There are probably certain settings and dimension limits we need to be working under. The gist is we need someone meticulous & detail-oriented enough to make new mascots so that we can just pass them on to djp to implement. That way, you can work on bios while being confident the mascots images could be made and used. I'm not opposed at all to some bios being written preemptively; if you're excited to write a bio, don't let the lack of a mascot dissuade you, we could still conceivably add it. Just do some legwork and fine a viable source image available to work with that could go with the bio, and we'll make it a mascot.

Old man here!
