are you making fun of Tom's drawing? :p

lol wow yous kicks tom's drawings ass lol

Looks awesome!

Who wears there crown under their hood?

I liked toms better, his looks more sinister, and his middle finger on his right hand has frostbite. He's so cold hearted, he flips people off with a cold finger.

lol at tom's drawing.

but he looks a lot fatter in the mystery clothes then he does regular. did u do that purposely?

Probably fatter cause his arms are crossed, or whatever.
Anyway, it looks amazing, really. Love your style. And great video.

Dam........what a freakin difference

cool. i like the part where you went through different style eyes.

I think Tom's looks moar atistic, DONT YA THUNK

Placeholder art should be unlockable.

My second favorite boss in the game, probably my first in terms of the fun I had interacting with him as a whole. You guys did a great job. =)

Speaking On Behalf Of EVERYONE. Amazing Game. One Of The Best Games I Have, Right Next To Gears 2.

Now However, We Must Discuss....A Sequel?
PLEASE????

lol u pwned toms drawing! lol

Tom's is the best out of them all in my opinion lol

tom should make a game with just his drawings

i love u

love you too

Tom's drawings are better >:C

I like Tom's. Just because.

My god, Dan, you are truly amazing. You have such a recognizable and beautiful style. The way you could take such a simple doodle and turn it into THAT. ...amazes me to no end. I am so jealous of your talents.

Get your style on TV...I need to watch at least 10 cartoon series with your styles on it to be satisfied! haha You are awesome.

you should have used Tom's for comic relief.

You guys should post a gallery on the site, showing all Tom's placeholders with your final designs beside them.
Maybe not for EVERYthing.

Just the one's where Tom's design is hilariously terrible, or where the contrast between original and final is so different (such as it was here)

he isnt making fun of tom, hge is just showing the picture tom gave him to continue from there (so dan can get an idea how tom wants it)

You guys should make a game where you reverse the roles.

Where Tom does all the drawing and you do all the programming.

As much work as you put into your drawings, i still like tom's more.
Tom draws with more of a free style, not held down with the burden of physics. If you practiced a bit more danPaladin maybe you could be as imaginative as him.
Nice try anyway.

why can you front page post so often.

It's amazing what art can be achieved from the crapiest drawings.

LOL

Tom's more of a visionary than an arist (which is just as important if not more important than drawing abilities).

Albert Einstein - "Imagination is more important than information (technique)"

And Tom has allot of crazy ideas.

nice... i always like watching these...what do you set your smoothining to with the brush?

Haha, yeesh, some people giving Tom a pretty tough time here. Y'know what a placeholder is, right? :P

What Smoothness do you use?

I prefer Toms version!! :(

I bought Castle Crashers yesterday.. I didn't intend to buy it (not that I didn't want it) It's McAwesomish. Thats for telling us your recorder,program and tablet etc so we won't have to send hordes of PMs asking :P

WOW YOUR WAY BETTER THAN TOM i would love to have ice powers :)

Love you too.

I don't think many people know what a placeholder is.
I myself, am not entirely sure but I always thought it was like a rough draft or something used a base idea for the final design. I might be wrong but that's what I always thought. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway the drawings look cool.

I'm gonna be original here and subtly imply that Tom's drawing is better. Oh, the funny!!!

make a sequel of castle crashers.NAO.WITH SHOTGUN ZOMBIEZ AND MONKEYS WITH HATS AND KNIVES.NAO.

lol.

i thoght dans desgien would have no legs and just feet,like a pico character.cool

i meen toms.

Holy fuck, a new post.

cool drawing

Damn, you use Flash MX? UPDAAAATTTEE!! Haha

wow, it seems like we all evoved from toms drawing :3

how do you draw in details by just drawing everywhere, yet keeping the ends of the design with in the outline? for example, the extra dark blue on his ice crown. i just saw you scribble everywhere, but it ended up in the borders. mind telling me how?

My favorite is mystery clothes.

Flash MX? wow you're pro

great work dan! the chin is supposed to be big though. I've seen artwork similar to yours all over the portal. Is it a particular style, or just apropriation?

no offence, but Tom sucks at drawing.

First drawing :D

nice

looks like an evolution of moods (evil, semi happy, and last but not least emo)
(yeah toms picture is awsome step up ur game dan)

kul

ehehe

You are awesome you are one of my favorite designers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing you're using the first one, amirite?

cool!

thank god we have you Dan!

toms desing looks more evil but yours is more detailed and cool.i prefer yours.

its really interesting to see how a boss is developed by looking at this art work. awesome drawings guys. huge fan of castle crashers. :)

dan your like an arist god to me by the way im 10 so dont get the idea of im some fruity little bitch cause im 10

I love the transformation from Tom's...err creative rendition...to how you bring it to life.

Great job!

He was so hard on Castle Crashers

Anyways that is a big difference to toms drawing. Not that toms is bad, toms drawing would of looked good if dan had of made the drawing similer.

Should use Tom's design in the final, it's the better sketch.

Guys hes oviously showing the making of the game from rough to finished he would never make fun of his best friend Would he?

I like toms place holder design much better rotfl just kidding.

why doesnt dan drawing have any nose :-(

fucking awesome drawing.

I like it, but don't you think there's kind of a resemblance to one of those alien characters from the Star Wars prequels (forget the name of them, but they were the bad and died in the last movie).

you are the best at what you do :D

I like your hat.

Dan why are you so good.. :I

i like dan's final design best!

You, my friend, are an absolute god. -bows-
Just your style intrigues the hell out of me. If you ever take any apprentiships, you know who to call. . . Not Ghostbusters, not Little Ceasers, Cameron. -thumbs up-

Do you draw by using a tab or just a mouse? (Btw, its awesome!)

Sorry, already know, lol!

GOOD.OR,AWSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM MMEEEEEEEE

YOU MADE ME WRITE SUCH VIOLENT COMICS

Love the final design if I say so!!!

MAKE A DISK FORM ! MAKE A DISK FORM PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEE

You make Tom's drawing look like shit.

that black coat is just to hide what he really looks like right, like a mystery!

that guy's laugh really gets on my nerves, I always sneer at him as he freezes over.

you really should make a alien hominids vs invader zim movie or game it will bring fans would love it!!!@!!!

when are you gonna finnish dad n me 2: the return of a prodigy

CHECK OUT MY USERPAGE PARTY FOR 7 DAYS STRAIGHT STARTIN TO DAY

oh my god, you used MX for this?
Your my hero man, at first I thought you were using Photoshop(when I watched the video)
this is amazing though man great work.

tom's quite the artist, eh? imagine if that's what castle crashers looked like.

COOL!!

COOL!!

well sure dans is more detailed but it was just a placeholder 2 give dan an idea of wat it should look like also i noticed that tom's looks more evil and sinister and dan made a completely different shirt and dans is wearing a wierd skirt thing and the mystery clothes i feel does not need 2 b added and parts of the crown r tearing thru wich is wierd and i dont think there should be blue spots on the shoulders 4 mystery clothes and i dont mean 2 insult dans cuz it is reel detailed and took a long time but just slight problems ok

One of the most memorable bosses in CC.

is it true that CC is coming to ps3?
