I’m not really goin for the revolution here, So, I’ll probably stick with NO shoes.
Yay. Shoulder issues fixed. Now I just need to fix the legs.
Edit:
WIP. FTW, or no?
definantly ftw. wow. your sprites have gotten really awsome. keep it coming =P
Thanks, but I’ve noticed you havent been active around here lately.
Anyhow, Progress.
I think it looks okay, but is the neck to short? Also, some of the dull/contrast differences in the palette bother me, anyone else think so?
I also plan to redo the MP2 pirates in this style, so I can complete the trilogy.
He looks like he’s doing some weird dance move… his pelvis is way too far forward.
It’s really sexy otherwise, though. For a second, I thought you’d posted Dazzy’s sprite 
you can send me to my email. or my aim which im online
i just need the costum sprite sheet, i will be thankfull 
Ah. He did look a little uncomforable. I’ll see what I can do.
That’s a real compliment.
I’d really like to help you, but I really think another spriter could better do this for you. After all, it’ll only take recolors and some edits, but editing every sprite to look like houston would take time. I’m already caught up in 2.5 sprite sheets. But I’ll look up houston, and see how much work it’ll take. If it’s not to difficult, I’ll see what I can do.
Edit:
Progress. Added GAC and PES (photonic energy scythe…I think).
[double edit] Left/right poses done.
If someone could get me some MP2 pirate trooper refferences, that’d be swell.
thank you. 
>
ill wait here…
There might even be a houston sprite sheet somewhere that you could find.
Anyway, I fixed some problems Dazz pointed out…I hope.
Don’t take it personally. I do this sometimes. >_>;;
It’s actually pretty good. All I’m really pointing out is that his hand is in a perfect position to be holding a cane, and he looks kinda wrinkley in places.
ROTFLOL
Wow. Your right. I just realized how awkward the position. is. Lol. Somebody needs to sig that.
triple edit:
6 poses done, not counting the ones that could be used for frigate/phendrana pirates. Tons of pieces. I’m keeping the “cane” poses just in case I need them later. Fixed the hands, I think. Anyway, any major crits before I make more poses?
those are really sexy… the speed at which you produce these is incredible
Lol. I remember when I first started spriting. I claimed to be the fastest spriter on the internet. Bullshit, of course, but I must admit I suprise myself. But it could also be because I have no social life on weekends, and can spend 2-3 hours at a time on sprite sheets. Or mabye just my skills with the mouse are polished. I dunno, but thanks anyway.
Edit:
OH NOES!! THEY’RE MULTIPLYING!!!
I must admit. Even I’m amazed at what can be done in 2 days. Alot of it was cutting, pasting, and editing the torso’s to match the jumping positions, which I also must admit are heavily borrowed from Dazzy’s. Anyway, I sense a sprite sheet coming on, and if I do anything more, It’ll be walking animations.
edit x5
There. The animation is ready to be edited into pirate legs. I know, it’s not exactly how they walk ingame, but I really dont have time/patience to find out.
edit x6:
Where is everyone? 6 edits is rediculous.
Drawing done, but lineart/shaping needs to be perfected.
so ur making a whole sheet? thats cool…i need alot of practice on walking frames…yes…you and daz are probably the best sprites here…i guess you make sprites in a different style then most people…but ur most recent sorta leave the whole unique style behind…oh well, change is good, i guess?
puts pants back on
Yeah, they’re pretty good…
zips up
<_<
>_>
The only complaint I have is that you’re copying Daz… not like copy/pasting, but it doesn’t really have a RH feel to it, like im_better said, “ur most recent sorta leave the whole unique style behind”. For instance, when everyone makes a Varia Suit sprite, every single person has a different one, even though they use the same model. Your pirates and Dazzy’s look practically the same… unless you get into small details.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s REALLY good, just… it doesn’t have an original feel to it.
i must ask…whats houston?
That’s a runon sentence…just clearing that up…But while I’m a potent spriter, there are several spriters on this forum that are on my level/better…Dazz, luminous, MZ, and megadragon to name a few.
You know what…your right. Your absolutely right. While I havent touched Dazzy’s palette, nor edited any of his pixels, this technically IS his work. The entire look, and the poses are loosely based off of his. Yes, it’s true, they dont feel like my other works, But I didnt expect them to turn into this. I never even intended for a full sprite sheet. They were suppose to turn out like my MP3 pirates, with only 1 or 2 poses. I just kinda got carried away. But I have another problem.
I really dont enjoy doing MF/MZM/RH style anymore. It’s just feels to unsophisticated now. I’ve never made a RH style sprite sheet that wasnt anything but a mere edit. While the sprite sheet can turn out good, it really doesnt reflect my skill at all. Editing is a pain in the ass, and doesnt really give much satisfaction. I made those sprite sheets because nobody else had. I still plan on finishing the Kanden remake, darksuit sprite sheet, and Noxus remake, but I really dont want to work in this style anymore.
I’m actually working on a tutorial for MF/MZM style spriting, so I wont have to do the work by myself. I’d still like to continue practicing the style, but It’s not really much fun anymore. Besides, there arent many creatures in the metroid series I’d like to sprtie that I havent already done. I think custom Zelda sprites could be in the near future.
Oh, and Armstrong Houston is a character from the metroid manga. He wears a blue power suit, similar to samus’s but with boxier shoulders.
I will finish the pirates, but I really need a breather. I’ll probably just submit them as they are, and update them later.
Zelda customs it is. Garo Ninja’s FTW. I find the Garo master extremely difficult to shade however. Any advice?
Also, submitting the pirates to TSR as they are. I’ll finish them later.

Where the hell is everone?
Done.
The garo master is crappy, But the referrence pic didnt help me much on how to shade it. I’ll be spriting Iron knuckle next.
im here… lol, pretty nice shading
Lol. I’m glad you think so, but the Garo Master is probably some of the crappiest shading jobs I’ve done in a long time.
Anyway, progress on Iron knuckle. I’m currently doing the version from the official art, but I’ll do the ingame one afterwards (not to mention the official art requires improve since you cant get full referreces). Hopefully with some inspiration, I can finish Kanden before the Wii comes out.
btw, I keep Juggalo’s link on the page for size refferences, I’m not trying to emulate his style (which would be difficult as hell for iron knuckle).
