Sprite Tutorials Topic

[19:14] <Gurren_Lagann> quick tips for the sprite tutorial topic:
[19:14] <Gurren_Lagann> get shading to flow with the body
[19:14] <Gurren_Lagann> find an appealing contrast
[19:14] <Gurren_Lagann> don't be afraid to experiment with colours

These were taught to me by people and they are very useful as quick tips. The first one makes the sprite in general look much more appealing because whilst it retains a direction of light it makes it look more natural. The second is something I sometimes struggle with and often change a lot because getting it wrong makes the sprite look unattractive. The third is because using new colours can make a big different as they can help to get a good contrast or a new colour scheme which could improve a sprite greatly; especially where you need more new colours for it.

ProTip:

Control[Apple, for Macs]+S, constantly. When working on Art of any sort, save as OFTEN as possible. It sucks when the power goes out and you loose that 4 hour amazing pixel work you had been working on.

[Liam]

Thanks to all of your help and contribution we now have the topic stickied. =]

Keep on contributing, as this is just temporary until bigger things come for sprite fan art.

I've got two good sprites here. Sorry about the non-transparent backgrounds, I'm too lazy to do them right now.

-D/P/Pt Scyther devamped to Green

Green Scyther revamped to D/P/Pt

For pixel over I'll go with Hitmonchan because that's quite small:



There's also Mewtwo if you want something which wasn't done for Metagame Spriters:



I don't really have anything for Other, sorry.

[Liam]

Thanks for the sprites, guys. I'll edit the Mewtwo in soon, Webbz. =]

Unfortunately I cannot use your sprites, Roxxy. They're saved as JPEG!

O_o Okay, well here's a Scizor devamp that I like: And here's a Coloring Book Smeargle: And have a Charizard tango while I'm at it:

[TTT-Baritoner]

Right here.

as for favorite sprites...

[Webby2]

After much time; here's the pixel over guide I've done:

If you want more explanations on it (like Kays because I recall hers going into such detail) then it'd be no trouble to add more; I've got the main images in so it'll be okay).

Also, on the quick tips there should be something on the eraser trick (in short it's a quick way of recolouring; have the old colour as the main colour and the new, wanted colour as the second colour and erase over the old colour) on the quick tips front page.

[Liam]

There is an eraser trick guide on the tech-side... May look into adding it as a tip anyway.

Thanks for the guides, guys. =]
