That ol' Sprite Thread

[Yubi Shines]

The Magic Knight Rayearth SNES game is a good size, but the only sprite sheets of that I can find are for the three girls. I'll play through it to see if I can't rip some townspeople.

[Orange Devil]

You guys don't see why I think those are too small for a comic? Why don't we use Megaman based? It is a Megaman forum.

I mean, not JUST megaman. But megaman characters. Bass, Protoman, Things like that.

[preventerWIND]

The megaman sprites aren't all that variable, if it were MM7 style for example, everyone would have the same 3 stances, bass, megaman, and protoman.

[Orange Devil]

Good point. Well I sir, am stumped.

[Alex]

Well then since this is a sprite thread (though I will have my own, when I have time)

Here is a Sprite (ONE SPRITE!!!)

I call it, Model O!

>_> Yeah... I made one, long ago, which basically was your idea... but in the actual Zero series.

[preventerWIND]

I like Alex's more, looks more like Omega.

[Alex]

Thanks... I should probably bring my... art thread... what was it called again? Artland of so-so random drawings? Back. Yeah.

[Xearez]

I have sprites to(8-bit i cant do much better)behold

[preventerWIND]

So amazingly detailed. : O

[Xearez]

just more of my crud

[preventerWIND]

I've never seen a lame edit like this, especially when the sheet still isn't even done..

[NovaMan XP]

Isn't that Zero's head plastered on ProtoMan's body?

[Yubi Shines]

I realize that 8-bit games tend to use bright colours, but seriously, all allergy jokes aside, don't use the neon reds and blues and so on that make up the default MSPaint pallet. It never looks good.

[Xearez]

thanks i agree( you could have been nicer about it though i mean preventerWIND)

[Vinchenz Rock]

Here are those sprites I talked about... the game is going to have ALL custom sprites... and it's pretty hard so I went with the simple look for everything... and this is the main character (so far), Michael:

[Yubi Shines]

Is that white bit the shine on the hair? If the shading is going to be as minimal as it looks, then it'd be better if it was left out. Currently it's like he's wearing a very small hat.

[Xearez]

well its better than mine.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, that white is shine. I originally had a darker shine but my friend's wanted it to be completely white. And due to it being HIS game...

Xearez, stop putting yourself down. If you want to get better, practise more and not just simple edits and recolours.

[Xearez]

o.k

[Vinchenz Rock]

And post with better grammar.

[Xearez]

o.k i didnt think my grammer that bad.

[Advent Akksul]

I like Alex's more, looks more like Omega.

Well then, if it looks more like Omega, then it isn't Model O *Shot*

[Orange Devil]

Xearez, your stuff isn't that bad. I like the designs. You have good ideas, you just need to practice more. We all start somewhere- usually we start by recoloring things. And you are one step ahead of that!

[Xearez]

thanks orange devil.(im changing my avatar)

I made more sprites.

[Edgecrusher]

I like the Zain dashing pose. He looks like he's going to take someones head off.

[Orange Devil]

Zain killed Captain America and stole his shield!

[Xearez]

Zain killed Captain America and stole his shield!

Yea thought that would be a nice touch.

Thanks im glad you like it.

Sprite mixing is never good, but well if you make them 8-bit then it would be better =P

[Xearez]

I mix sprites all the time and they turn out o.k(most the time).

[ChaosVortex]

Not this. This is 8-bit with 16-bit, with 32-bit, and all different kinds of stuff. You even mixed Gameboy Color sprites with the NES ones which differ graphically as well.

[Xearez]

cool huh?

[preventerWIND]

COL LIEK POTOMAN!!1 

[ChaosVortex]

cool huh?

Bit mixing has never been cool on this planet, which is implyed by my "Not this" statement.

[Mikero]

I have only coarse things to say.

just more of my crud

Yes. It is.

[Teelio]

The Lost One 2008

Ask Photobucket why it looks blurry.

C&C?

[Advent Akksul]

It's blurry, because it's in 'jpg'.

[Mikero]

I still like the Richie Rich motif best.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

C&C?

He looks like he's going to either grant me 3 wishes or redecorate my house, stick with the fancy pants TLO.

[Dr.]

Xearez... just stop. save us the loss of eye sight later in life, thanks.

[Xearez]

I guess nobody likes my sprites then right.

[Orange Devil]

The thing that we really hate is you whining about it expecting us to have sympathy and tell you that they are good. That's not how you get better- you get better by taking criticism and learning things, for instance. you should NEVER mix 8-bit and 16-bit and you should NEVER EVER mix colored sprites with non colored.

I understand that they are being mean about it and I disagree with that. But still, you shouldn't take it so hard. That just makes it worse.

[Xearez]

I would just like helpful hints not people just saying they suck like preventerwind"I've never seen a lame edit like this, especially when the sheet still isn't even done.."

[Orange Devil]

Sometimes those are the helpfulest hints you can get. Plus, you are ignoring the nice ones.

[Xearez]

oh yea good point!

[Mikero]

Okay. You just have to listen (in the sense that listening means using reading comprehension on posts);

Sprite mixing is never good, but well if you make them 8-bit then it would be better =P

you should NEVER mix 8-bit and 16-bit and you should NEVER EVER mix colored sprites with non colored.

I realize that 8-bit games tend to use bright colours, but seriously, all allergy jokes aside, don't use the neon reds and blues and so on that make up the default MSPaint pallet. It never looks good.

Not this. This is 8-bit with 16-bit, with 32-bit, and all different kinds of stuff. You even mixed Gameboy Color sprites with the NES ones which differ graphically as well.

Also, I don't think anyone should start spriting with 8-bit. You don't learn much at all with 8-bit until later when you understand some spriting sublteties. Starting with 16-bit is a good start point, 8-bit is too simple to learn anything and 32-bit is too "complicated" (it's not really complicated but it is at first) to start with.

[Xearez]

well now that your finished calling me a "failure" hows this?

[Mikero]

Customize it so it's not just a recolor.

And in all your posts you're whining. You have self esteem issues, fine. You express your self esteem issues outward every chance you get, not fine. Work on it.

[Xearez]

Ok well Im saying what Im thinking

[Orange Devil]

I could go for a poke right about now.

My stomach hurts.

I'm bored.

I'm hungry.

Emma Watson is a goddess.

I could go for a poke right about now.

Hm... I think we should all start saying what we are thinking!

[Xearez]

um.............right I think I will stop that now.
