[EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!

[Korby]

I think you could probably shift the purples and whites on his shoes into blue and cyan.
Outside of that, looks decent enough!

[Brash Buster]

All right, I got a Christmas-themed skin ready: The Gutscracker!

It also has a taunt.
I might make a Reindeer Centaur Man, or maybe a Grinch skin like the unfinished Grinch Flashman from 2013, but I'm not sure yet.

Don't worry about Reindeer Centaur Man, he already exists from a previous holiday expansion.

Brash, I think you need to take some more time to polish the skins.
The concepts are amusing enough and acceptable, but the general quality of the sprites needs some work.
Magneto Man's cape isn't the same length in all the directions, his arms vary in length depending on the direction, the sprite gets fairly messy with the purple splashed everywhere, and the cape looks like a solid piece of plastic; not to mention that there are no differences between standing and moving frames.

Gravenant mostly just suffers from heavy consistency issues. Make sure anything that moves in one angle moves in another [an example being that his body doesn't move up and down in his front or side frames and the back frames it moves differently]
I also think he could benefit from using Gravityman's actual walk-cycle so that his upper body moves a little during it.

Gutscracker is the best of the three, but its main problem lies in offsets. The skin jumps around randomly during animations and it's very jarring.
He also suffers from consistency issues, where he doesn't bob up and down whatsoever in his back walking frames and bounces up and down at very strange angles in the other angles.

Just go through and try to clean up anything I've listed, and see if you can find more stuff. I'm sure it'll turn out well!

[Brash Buster]

All right, I made some changes to Gutscracker:

Download
-Fixed Front-Side animations (X8X2) and Side-Back animations (X6X4) so that one arm doesn't have the same shape as Guts Man's old arm (Wow, that's embarrassing)
-Added gray to the legs in frames H5 and H6H4 (Wow, I guess I was a little too eager to get this out.)
-Did some tweaking to frames B5 and D5.
-Bobs up and down in all his frames (It seems the Guts Man skin in vanilla has fluctuating GFX offsets, which my first version didn't.)

I'll get to work on Gravenant later.
Okay, here's Gravenant:

Download
-Bobs up and down properly (35 pixels tall on frames B and D, 36 on frames C and E)
-Shooting animations are now a consistent height (They are 34 pixels tall from all angles)
-Cannons are now always 7 pixels tall (They originally fluctuated between 7 and 6 pixels)
-The Front-Side frames now look more accurate to the changed body frame of the front (I don't think I needed to do this with the side, side-back, or back frames)
-Side frames are changed so the cannon on Gravenant's other side can be seen behind his head
-Cannons are slightly less of a cylinder shape on the back to explain why one is fully visible on the side frame but only partially visible on the side-back frame
His arms are still always lifted, because I wanted him to look unnatural and aloof, like he never lets his guard down.

I think I'm actually going nix Magneto Man altogether, though. I'm not sure how to handle a flowing cape for 4 frames, and I don't feel like he fits in. I know it's OK for skins to be dressed up without a specific Halloween theme, like last year's Shovel Knight Enker, but something about Magneto Man just feels very unfitting. I guess I was too eager for the pun that I didn't think it through enough.

I do have two Halloween skins from last year though (one of them was even on the image for Halloween 2015, when my interest in MM8BDM was low), and I might make a Grinch-related skin, now that G&Wer has informed me about the Reindeer Centaur Man being taken.

[Jacy the Subpar Mech]

I was wondering when the halloween event would come around. Guess I should submit my (first) skin for it...

Behold! The CD-I horror of...

Morshu BombMan!



Download

Comes in two flavors (alongside custom taunts and classes compatibility), the first of which has his pants and hat be blue and cyan respectively, and the other makes his pants and hat green for authenticity.

Any changes and suggestions are welcome.

Wow... that's actually amazing...

Nice job on that one holy shit.

[Geno]

Musashi on the Discord Server accidentally came up with a wonderful idea

So, put me down for this expansion, I'm doing



BLUSTER ROD.G

EDIT: okay, so this is really what it's actually gonna look like

Since "paste blusters head onto brg" isn't really the style that would fit in this thing

[Gothic]

I forgot to post this weeks ago. Here is the updated skin, with blue shoes this time.


Gamzee Clownman

[bass44]

Put me down for this one as well.



It's CutMan Voorhees (I did this one a few years back but it was awful, so it's being redone with a much better slashing animation)

[DarkAura]

Oh right, I'm doing a (or 3) thing(s) if I have enough time to do them. For now:



Eagle Bomber, for those that don't know...

[Korby]

I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to be.

On an unrelated note, though, it's [was] Halloween! Hope everyone's having fun making their holiday contributions!
Just thought I'd mention that I haven't heard too much chatter about new maps (I know of at least three[?]), so please let me know if you plan on contributing one! I'd definitely appreciate it!

If you're having trouble coming up with a theme for your map [or skin!], maybe look for something more snowy? Most (all) of the content that will be recycled from earlier expansions is Halloween, so the Christmas side of things is certainly lacking.

[Geno]

Christmas side of things is lacking, eh?
Well, here's a silly thing that I thought up earlier this evening, hehe
Christmas Light Bright Man!
            
If I somehow don't get Bluster Rod G done on time, at least I contributed this, hehe

[bass44]

Why isn't Cutman Voorhees on the list? If revising won't matter, then I'll make a fresh one.

[Geno]

It appears that the list hasn't actually been updated since that Gutscracker one
