My avatar is dressed as Starfy from the waist down.

Same.

And I'm wearing Starfy underoos, what's your point?

Are there any frogs in starfy ?

(Damn NA only can't you include Yorkshire for me & Wiiloveit)

Dare I actually change my avatar for the purposes of this contest? Dare I??

Well there is my quick attempt before I head to work. His apron says Kiss The Cook lol

Since I don't have money, I guess entering is worth a shot. Gotta change my avatar back though. Good luck to myself and everyone else as well!

Come on people. You only have to change it for a day. I'll even change mine.

Does Puerto Rico count?

I trapped Stafi in Ninjatown. I think Shawn is goin to make a plushie out of him.

It's the legendary Rabbi Starfy!

Also known as the Starfy of David!

Oh crap, just a day to get this done? I'm out. My "artistic" "ability" is incapable of putting anything together in that time. Good luck to everyone though!

Sweet contest! Gotta give this one some thought.

And you don't have to actually draw it yourself. You can always trim up an existing piece of artwork. I did. EZ PZ.

Starfy Attack!
The Uzi is kinda cut off, but he has the Rambo style bandanna and gritting teeth.

O Starfy, getting scared by a ghost, silly star

I tried making one... the sizing made it hard... XP

EDIT: If you can't tell, it's Kyorosuke (Moe) wearing a Starfy party hat. I was going to give him blue sunglasses, but making these things in my current setting is hard enough.

I have NEVER changed my avatar in these last 18 or so months. And I changed it for this contest! I think it's pretty nice. Even if I don't win, it'll be cool to see what everyone else cooks up. (But I really would like to win.)
EDIT: Made a few quick PS changes and reuploaded, so you may need to refresh to see mine.

I liked the first one better.

Of course you'd say that...because I saved over the other file, lol. Hope you guys like this one too.

Well at least I can take your name off the list of candidates now. That narrows that one down. I'm kidding.

O.o I'm gonna go cry now.
EDIT: Ah, NOW you're kidding.

I'm really kidding. While I did like the first one better, this one is just fine.

Real_EDIT: AH! How dare you edit my edit!!

It's Stapy and Stafy (Left to Right) after being enpowered with the Rainbow Star. Stapy is the Flare Princess while Stafy is the Aqua Prince. Obviously, it's non-canon, but I wanted to make some creative Stafy sprites. Hope you guys like it. =]

For better resolution, look here: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7489/stafyavatar.png

@Cheesy- AH! Very nice. Yours is my new favorite! It also seems to have the most work put into it. Very nice.
EDIT: Corbie...are you like...REALLY bored?

Yeah, waiting for a video to upload. It's taking forever.

Is it a video for the site? Using youtube? I know the feeling, as I've been using that site for a while and it does take a long time to upload and process, even though my files aren't very big because my camera is 2 years old and not anywhere near HD.

@Objection_Blaster- Thank you very much! I spent quite some time on it.

Anyways, this opportunity is perfect for me because I'm a huge Kirby fan and Starfy looks like Kirby's twin. For those Kirby-Stafy relationship haters, don't kill me.

This one is unique and humorous,do I win the contest?

Heres mine =]
I tried to make Starfy look like Kirby but I couldnt get the colors right =[
oh well =[
Hope you guys like it =]

@SuperSonic1990: Hey, that's from Siliconera! XD

____________________

Anyway, as for mine, I'll use a quote:
"Kirby doesn't take kindly to obscure properties stealing his thunder!"

I had other ideas but I went this this especially because of the humor factor when you consider just how many people are comparing Starfy's latest DS game to Kirby. And Kirby no likey!

@KnucklesSonic8-I'm too lazy to make an avater myself,so this will do fine.
Besides,I don't know how to edit avatars anyway.

Starly shares the name with Starly from Pokemon DP. Thought a fusion would be a fun idea.

Good icon

How about Omega Starfy vs. A Two-Headed Snake?

I hope I win but there are some cool icons out there.Good luck to all of you.

Reedited mine =]
@VALERHU i like yours =]
@Gamer1030 i like yours too

Thanks

@Gamer1030: Good call with the fusion.

Thanks Fk13 & KnucklesSonic. All of you did a good job

Anyone like mine?Awesome icon knucklessonic8
Also it's sirmel11 from youtube

Thanks man! All the best to you all.

Thanks =] Same to everyone else =D

Nice icon^

I can't stop laughing @ Gamer1030's. It's ridiculous and makes sense at the same time.

Nice icon^

Everyone has a nice icon. Now can you all slobber over mine? I call it: Starfy's Soul.

lol

The deed is too dirty to be dirtied by slobber.

I made another one. Anyone like this one better or should I stick with the OBJECTION one from earlier?

the objection one =]

Thanks for your comments guys. I'll probably change it back in about 10min to the OBJECTION one unless I hear some votes there.

Whoa guys, those are pretty nice avvies you got there! May the best man win...

Also, I haven't seen any sprite art besides mine. lol I feel special.

Better resolution: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7489/stafyavatar.png

I noticed that as an avatar, the pics are horribly cropped. However, it might be just sprite art.

lol Sprites rock

Yea i agree it took sum work =]

Aww, thanks guys. =] Well, even if it took some time, many of you others made some creative, awesome avatars. I like KnucklesSonics's, for example, along with plenty of others.

Better Res.: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7489/stafyavatar.png

Here's the best I got.

I want to make something with manatee starfy, but I have no ideas.

Alright, I'm sticking with the first one, the OBJECTION one. You can see my alternate one that we were discussing here: http://img196.imageshack.us/i/starfyobjects2.jpg/

Thanks Cheesy! That's appreciated. One of my earlier ideas was to do Sprite art, actually.

Well much I wouldn't mind a free game, Merchant Kirby will never sell me stuff at a low price anymore if I abandon him (or that I am not creative enough). Good luck to everyone.

@Atlantis1982
Hahaaha =D
Make a merchant Starfy =p

Here is my entry!
<

I got one of Lucario and Starfy from Smash Bros. Brawl!
Watch the power of AURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caption: So, is the usual guy sick?

I based my Starfy off of the Super Mario 64 star.

Hope you like it!

Mine has dragon starfy breathing fire on pikachu and link, if you can't see it. It's a bit hard to see when it's so small.

< Here's my attempt at making an avatar.

@RaiderZX & pie4prez
I like yours too =] Very creative =p
I was thinking about making a captain falcon one but it would look bad as an avatar
too small
Keep up the good work everyone =D

awesomestarfy, reporting in

@Nando

Cool! Where did you get that picture?

lol @theblackdragon: I just knew something like that was coming! XD

@theblackdragon hahaha awesome =D

@KnucklesSonic8, Finalkingdom13: i was surprised no one else had done it yet

@Objection_Blaster: i honestly liked your other one better, because they've both got like the same expression, lol

@pie4prez

I just found it on Google, then colored the background, added bubbles and a lighting effect.

Here's mine.

@Alexei123 haha xD

Okay! Finally got myself an account! Had to register a Gmail cuz hotmail doesn't work. >.> Here's to a good contest!

Welcome to the site.

Yeah, welcome Klastie. Good to have you here.

@KnucklesSonic8: Why thank you!

@Klastie Welcome I like your avatar too =]

Wow everyone has some really great avatars here! I'm not entering because I already have the game but I wish you all the best of luck!
Hey Corbie, I noticed that you changed your avatar too; you're not planning on awarding the game to yourself now are you?

LOL...no I already have my Legendary Starfy game. I was just trying to lead by example. Greg will be back tomorrow.

Hehe thanks Finalkingdom13!

WolfRamHeart... Wolfram and Heart! haha!

@WolfRamHeart: If he did, he could sell it to me for a little over half the retail price.

@Corbie - quick Starfy quiz - in which game does my Wii Remote-toting face appear? Bet you don't know!

Hey, everyone! Those are some great Stafi avatars , man I'm glad I'm not a judge.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

@Klastie
Welcome to NL!

@ James - Now that I don't know. Every time I see your avatar, I think it's Adam Sandler about to fast-forward through sex again.

HAHAHAHA he does look like the Sandman.

Only open to North American residents. Makes a change from the usual. I can ease my armies about their fears of a Starfy invasion now. Boy, they were pumped for some action

Here's my avatar: a chalkboard drawing rendition of Starfy. Good luck to all! Game looks great.

It looks like there are a lot of new faces (well Starfy faces) on here for the give away. Welcome all!

I have a new avatar: Here's what the bigger version looks like:

http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=4397382

There certainly are plenty of great avatars here. My personal favorite out of the bunch Alegeobla's.

I also like my avatar seeing as it represents most people's initial thoughts on Starfy.

Speaking of Starfy, when can we expect a review of The Legendary Starfy?

Oh damn, Sometimes I had being European. I'll get it anyway, the first Stafy game I understand! (it will always be Stafy for me, but I spell it Stuffy, not like Staify or so)

Heres mine! I really hope i win!
Here is the full pic.
http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt39/sploshfish/signatures/avatar_eon.png

Starfy review should be up soon. I had to finish Munchables before I started playing it.

Heres my entry, La Funky Starfy Stripper.

I should have saved my avatar as a larger one too... Oh well I still like my hand drawn Uzi wielding Rambo Starfy!

I'm itching to get Starfy as well. I filled out the Intend to Buy survey on Club Nintendo and everything.

@KnucklesSonic8
I work at Gamestop and we only got 1 copy on the day it came out!
I hope it doesn't become really hard to find =[
I wanted to buy it but i'm trying to save my money =[

Only 1? That's not good. Do you like working at GameStop? (Over here in Canada, it's EB Games.)

@KnucklesSonic8 Yea i know i was suprised =[
Yea i love my job =] Work with cool people and i get to check out used games =D (as long we mave at least 4 copies of it)
Ive been to an eb games once =p

@theblackdragon-I liked the second one too. It was also more work and shows in the final result. Now I am torn... http://img196.imageshack.us/i/starfyobjects2.jpg/

<- Here's my entry for the contest.

Mine is the REAL Starfy

Mine is fighting Samus

KnucklesSonic8: don't worry, there's still some EBs kickin' around in the US. for a while, GameStop was using all three names (EB, GameStop, and Babbage's) on their bags and stuff with logos... i don't think they use Babbage's at all anymore, but EB's still around. :3

Starfy made an appearance in Charlie The Unicorn?

@theblackdragon They still use the name Software Etc. too =D

^^Maybe there is a level in the game where you have to follow/stalk Charlie until he falls in love with you

^LOL

I have entered the contest. In my mind, I have already won.

EDIT: I have a much better idea, but I won't be able to make it until I get home. This one is uploaded just in case I don't get the chance later. Corbie, email me when you need my shipping info.

@Chicken Brutus xDDD
Dont get cocky though

Whoa, the quality of them has greatly increased. Really nice job, guys! Now, it may be cause I love sprites, but my new personal favorites out of all of the awesome ones is KidPit's. lol

Better Res.: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7489/stafyavatar.png

Chicken Brutus- good icon. I thought your icon before was honestly used in the contest, it looked like a real life starfy.

@Cheesy
Thanks, Your Avatar is pretty awesome too.

@ChickenBrutus-That avatar...WHAT IS IT!?

@SuperSonic1990: You don't recognize the secret love-child of Starfy and Tingle? lol

Who said it was a secret?

we never knew about him until now; obviously he has been kept in secret until Chicken Brutus chose to out him to the world :3

Also, note that neither Tingle nor Starfy have officially come forward to acknowledge him(?), though the family resemblance is unmistakable.

Ok- added mine.

@anthonyb: hahaha, that's cute :3

@WolfRamHeart

What is your supposed to be?

@Dark Link: His first post on this topic said that he wasn't entering because he already had the game. lol yay, one less contestant.

http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7489/stafyavatar.png

@Dark Link
My avatar is a Onii demon from Little King's Story. I didn't change it because I already bought The Legendary Starfy so I don't need to enter this contest. It is fun watching it though and I want to see who wins!

If Tingle is IT'S dad,Majora must be IT'S uncle.

@theblackdragon-I forgot to say this, but I really like yours! (and anthonyb's!)
ANYONE: Like this one better than my current avatar? http://img196.imageshack.us/i/starfyobjects2.jpg/

@theblackdragon: Thanks! Awesome Starfy is AWESOME!

Here's another my friend and I did- Incubus-style Starfy. It's hard to see but he has a goatee. A fun one hehe.

Holy crap hopefully I'm not too late. Just got back from camping. Awesome contest.

@sirgrim: OMG That's hilarious!

Thanks anthonyb. Yours is nice too

okay, now that (awesomestarfy) is out of my system, here's my actual entry. Starly is so cute. :3

Only four more hours to get your entry in!

@anthonyb, @theblackdragon: Both of you are instantly in my Top 5 favourites from what I've seen.

Weird. I just logged back in and my avatar had changed. o_O Oh well. Changed it back.

Blackdragon's luma avatar is my new fave! I'm playing through Galaxy now, and love those guys.

@KnucklesSonic8: Thanks man! I was thinking of incorporating Kirby at first, but it looks like great minds think alike.

@KnucklesSonic8: lol, thanks... i love those pink lumas. here's the large version I cropped down from:

@Corbie: Don't forget to mention that the winner of this contest also gets an autographed picture of you wearing your Starfy shirt!

How 'bout this? Starfy Tennis!

@anthonyb: Oh really? That's funny. I was thinking of including sprite art like the other poster did. I had like 3 or 4 ideas actually but I went with what you see now especially because people kept comparing Starfy to Kirby so I was all: Poor Kirby, it's like Starfy is encroaching on his territory or something.
@theblackdragon: Your welcome! To echo WRH's words, it sure is pretty cool. Easy to do but still a great idea! You're definitely in my Top 3 favourites. I wouldn't be surprised if you won.
@pixelman: lol, he looks like he's about to pummel someone into the ground. Nice way to commemorate the release of GS Tennis.

Here's some more ideas I had. (for fun)

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3/videogamer1030/starfypics-1.jpg

EDIT: Added Starfy Pikmin

@KnucklesSonic8: thanks, but i'm thinking whatever Chicken Brutus has up his sleeve is gonna blow the rest of us outta the water, if it's better than what he's got now, lol

@Gamer1030: lol, Super-Starfy-jin Goku

@Corbie

Whose is your favorite?

@KnuckleheadSonic8: Aww come on, he's jumping in the air to hit an overhead!

@pixelman: Uhh... DUH, I know that! That's what I meant. Performing a smash to pummel someone on the opposite side with the tennis ball like in SST or MPT or somethin'.

Oh right! I thought you meant pummel the ground, hah.

Here's the full sized version of mine.

Is this alright Corbie?

I am putting together some I really like right now and the other guys are chiming in with their picks. But we still have a few hours, so we'll give everyone time to get theirs in.

@Corbie: Ooo ooo is mine in?!

@Toddr

Cool! Did you use Photoshop?

@Toddr - That's perfect. And great avatar too. As for Pixelman - We've had 43 unique entries...yours is currently ranked 42. (I'm kidding, or course. It's 41.)

@pie4prez Yeah. It was pretty easy to do, cause the background of starfy was all white. The only hard part was cutting out parts of mario that were still visible.

@Corbie: Nooooo I'd rather be 42 than 41.

Okay I got my final one done! I win now! Right!

@Corbie

Is mine in the Top 10?

@Corbie, are you just gonna anounce the winner only, or the top, I dont know, the top 7

EDIT: Also what do you think of mine?

@GabeGreens: lol, top 7 sounds like a good idea

@GabeGreens

No, it should definitely be the Top 1,200! lol

Wow, there are plenty of great avatars!

Sorry guys, looks like I win.

^^ Wow, that avatar IS genious, I bow down to your 1st-placiousness. Congrats

@ Adam. Let me quote Corbie "@Toddr - That's perfect." I think he likes mine the best.

@Adam: lol, so you branded your icon '1st place' just to be sure everyone knew?

also, lol @Chicken Brutus, though that new one reminds me of playing Pokemon on the Super Game Boy and messing around with the color settings. :3

I can has starfy?

Wow, I'm surprised to consider my avatar is good quality since my photoshop died and I only had MSPaint!

After 8pm CST, we'll decide on the winner and we'll post a news item listing our favorite 10 Starfy avatars. I voted for 7, but was out-voted.

@Corbie: Cool, we're in the same timezones! Scared? Booawahahaha.

@Klastie: have you tried the GIMP before? it's a pretty good Photoshop alternative, and it's open-source to boot.

@theblackdragon: You totally use GIMP? ZOMAGADZ I do too, that's what I use for all my art.

=C, oh well, Corbie, it will always be the top 7 in your heart

@theblackdragon: I remember that program! But I find it hard to use.... Plus my laptop has been acting up lately.

@Klastie: It definitely takes some getting used to, but once you memorize the hotkeys it's a dream to use.

I have mine. There's no romance in Starfy, but I think there should be. I already own this, but I want to get it for my brother, because he is a huge Starfy game and needs his own copy.

@ The Gamestop Disscusion
My Bestbuy had 10 copies in the morning and 4 at night. I bet it's doing well enough. Besides, the game will probably do better in July when all the little kids have their money saved up.

Hope I'm not too late to the party.

@ChickenBrutus

Hahaha, good thinking.

I cant wait to see who wins =D
There are so many good ones =]

@warioswoods: lol, nice one!
@Toddr: So THAT'S what it looks like full-size. Anyway nice job. Photoshop FTW.

@pixelman: i may as well; it was part of the Xubuntu package, after all

Sweet pics guys....I would change mine but I already have my copy of the game and my lil bro is on here also so Im letting yall have at it. I had a really great idea but decided not to go with it lol.

Yeah, I don't care if I win, I just want to see if I can actually make a good avatar.

crosses fingers

Man I hope mine's good enough

So, How many are keeping their Starfy avatar's after this is done? I know I am.

I'm keeping mine, it's a lot better than my old one.

(The weird dude with the unibrow)

Im keeping mine I guess, time to move on from 1000 japanese kids wearing mario heads, its hard

I think I'll keep mine just cause I made it, and art isn't my forté, so making my own avatar makes me feel special.

^^ ya thats why Im keepin it too

Best promotion ever; these little icons / avatars are all over the forums. Who could forget the little guy now?

200th, I feel special.

Oh, come on! Tell us who won! Is anybody really still working on theirs?

@pie4prez hahha i was just gonna post that =p
So instead 201 !!!

@pie4prez: there's like half an hour left... i'm watching Time Warp at the moment while I wait. There's a new Mythbusters on next, too. :3

201st, I feel specialer
not much time left, I hope I get in the top 10!

@GabeGreens

Don't you mean 203rd?

Only 15 minutes left everyone!

@pie4prez: LOL, it sure is better than your old one! Yours was the default avatar with a nose drawn in. XD

It's the final countdown!!

Yikes! Hope I'm not too late!

So this is my entry, I was playing Conker just before, so it gave me the idea. It's supposed to be a Starfy/Conker fusion.

What'd that be called, Starfy's Bad...Fin Day?

Well anyways, enjoy.

@RaccoonMario hahaha i love it xD

@RaccoonMario-LOL,that is a great avatar.

Alright entries are closed.

Did I win,Corbie?

I wanted to win this for my nephew but there are too many good entries in, good luck to everyone.

@theblackdragon: You use ubuntu too!? You are officially in my cool book.

drumroll time! :3

=DDD

We're going to look through all of the avatars and make our decision. We'll post the winner in a news item at around 8:30pm CST.

=DDDDDDDDDDDDD

@pie4prez somebody beat me at it

This is crazy. I just recieved an email from nintendo advertising the legendary starfy. o_0

@pixelman: lol, it's my husband's doing to be honest. my laptop is running Vista Home, but that's because we need something with an installation of Windows for a couple little things (the Nintendo Wi-fi adapter won't work with linux [yet], for example).
@Toddr: yeah, Nintendo's usually a little late on the draw re: e-mails about new games and/or Wii Shop updates. :3

@Toddr I got the email too =p

@Toddr-LOL,how ironic.

All the best to you all. I got a feeling I know who won though. theblackdragon, Cheesy, anthonyb: I'm lookin' at you guys.

The suspense is killing me!

I hope it will last.

(Willy Wonka reference)

I hope I win. I can give this to my younger friend who is a Nintendo freak. Or I can keep it for myself (lol I`m not that selfish).

As much as I really want this, I'm trying to win this for my best friend who's moving quite a big distance away.

I hope I win,but KnucklesSonic8's avatar is pretty cool.

I like how everyone who wants to win plans on giving it away xD

Bigger version, and this time, the Uzis I worked so hard on are in it a bit more.

Thanks SuperSonic.

@Finalkingdom13
Yeah, It makes me feel bad that I plan on keeping it for myself if I win.
I guess I'm a bad person

If I win (I won't) I'd probably give it to someone on NL.

EDIT: The news item will be delayed until 9pm CST. We're having a tough time narrowing it down.

@pixelman: Can we start placing early bribes then? XD

^ dont feel bad, youre not the only one /cough/me/cough/ who is keeping it if wins

DELAYED!? NO!!! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!

@KnucklesSonic8: Yes, you can start paying me $50 bribes.

Sorry, all bribes are closed now. The final decision has been made. News item coming 9pm CST for sure this time.

Thanks!! =D

That really means a lot to me!

@RaccoonMario...dude that does look really cool. Funny thing is is Starfy is like really really like baby acting and seeing him all Rambo out is funny as crap

The winner is Chuck Norris.

3 minutes left! The suspense is killing me!

LOL, thanks Slapshot. X)

I was toying around with the concept of opposites for the avatar in my mind, and Conker just seemed perfect!

Heck yeah, Conker F.....n rocks with ever explicts know to man and then some....Literally.

What?! The contest ended already?! NOOOOO!!!

What?! The contest ended already?! NOOOOO!!! But it says... tomorrow?

Man and that was a great avatar too, beauhappyday. It might have won.

awwww i really like that one too =[

Aw, beauhappyday missed it by 3 hours...
