If I may, I've noticed in the past that Nintober has generally been villains/minions from Nintendo games, daily through October. And while I do like the idea you have, if I may suggest an alternative? How about, instead of 31 bosses, you did 1 scene? Think about it: First of all, you have a lot more time available to work on the picture, since you have only the one. Second of all, you can't possibly run out, since scenes are kinda unlimited, whereas characters are kinda not. So, like, run a poll throughout September for which series you should draw from, closing it 9/30 or 10/1. Then, use October to draw a scene from a game in the winning series. So, for example, the winner is Zelda in September, so in October, you draw Link wandering around in the Kakariko Well in all of its gory glory (skull piles, bloody walls, undead bad-guys, the works.) Then, Halloween, you release the picture for everyone.
I dunno, just a thought on how to keep it within Nintendo.

It's a sound idea and something I've considered for later artworks. However, it's not the purpose behind Nintober. Nintober is now a personal challenge, and this year the 31 pieces in 31 days will likely be accompanied by various things: Trying to raise money for charity and occasional livestreaming of the drawing (when it's convenient).
So for this year, at least, it will continue from last year. I may not do it again like that.
But drawing scenes from games is something I really want to do in the imminent future!

Oh, this year. You'll have to forgive my stupidity, then. You titled this for next year.

OK, it's six weeks until Nintober begins, and I've got to make sure I'm well prepared. I need to know what rules I'm setting myself and what will be drawn. Then I can focus on making sure I can record footage of me drawing, because I know you want to watch me draw and mutter to myself for hours, right? ;D Anyway, I started a list of JUST Nintendo monsters. I am now allowing any that were used in 2008 (so long as they still fit the "scary" rules), including many from the past year's releases. This is not the final order: 1. Dry Bowser (New Super Mario Bros.) 2. King Boo (Luigi’s Mansion) 3. Mimi (Super Paper Mario) 4. Twinrova (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) 5. Ganondorf & Ganon (The Legend of Zelda) 6. Demise (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword) 7. Mother Brain (Metroid) 8. Phantoon (Super Metroid) 9. Marx Soul (Kirby Super Star Ultra) 10. Duskull, Dusklops & Dusknoir (Pokemon Series) 11. Giratina (Pokemon) 12. Medusa (Kid Icarus) 13. Hades (Kid Icarus: Uprising) 14. Giygas (Mother / EarthBound) 15. Gimle (Fire Emblem: Awakening) 16. Zanza (Xenoblade) 17. Zeron (Pandora’s Tower) 18. Zangurak (The Last Story) 19. Dark Lord (StreetPass Quest II) 20. Oni Kawashima (Oni Training) I will also do 10 "Guest Villains" from other companies: 2 each from Konami, Namco, Square Enix, Capcom and Sega. However, these spots aren't all filled, so I will need some assistance filling them in. 21. Dracula (Castlevania, Konami) 22. Pyramid Head (Silent Hill, Konami) 23. Pinky, Binky, Inky & Clyde (Pac-Man, Namco) 24. (Namco) 25. (Square Enix) 26. (Square Enix) 27. Nemesis T-Type (Resident Evil, Capcom) 28. Astaroth (Ghosts 'n Goblins, Capcom) 29. (Sega) 30. (Sega) And as always, I reserve the final Halloween spot for a surprise of my choosing  Get those suggestions rolling! Edit: Realised I didn't have any Pokemon, which managed to get my list of 17 up to 20, once I added Mimi (who is genuinely creepy, even though the game is balls). |

Once again looks like Pokemon is getting the short stick in a Nintober. Could I suggest Ghetsis (or at least his "underleveled" Hydreigon). Is the first time the main antagonist is a final boss in a Pokemon main series game rather than the champion. He' becomes even more wicked and insane in BW2...
At least Hydreigon is creepy looking enough.
Darkrai in the Mystery Dungeon games is a complete manipulative monster, but that is a side game, don't know if it counts.

Those slots filled up quickly, I had just thought up of another character as well. Oh, well next year.
For SE, I nominate Corvus from Dragon Quest IX. I want to see your take on a Toriyama designed character.

Those slots filled up quickly, I had just thought up of another character as well. Oh, well next year. Make your suggestions. I can still switch the Nintendo ones too. As for the other suggestions, indeed suggest as many as you can! My main aim is to have one each for Square and Enix and not go TOO obscure if possible. Horror themed games are definitely a bonus! |

Well in that case, I nominate The Lady in Black from Spirit Camera, one of the most terrifying villains in a long time.
For the other companies, I guess I'll add what I can.
Namco:
Ensemble of the Pac-Man ghosts
Malpercio: Baten Kaitos
SE:
Corvus: Dragon Quest IX
Golbez: Final Fantasy IV
Capcpom:
Regnerator: Resident Evil 4
Vile: Mega Man X series

I've made a few additions to the list. If your suggestions aren't showing up yet, don't worry, I'm not ignoring you. They're just not as definite just yet.
