Dont worry people, im still alive. I just have no house, furniture, carpet, gamecube (no friggin TV adapter), or comp. Im bored out of my mind, but i should be on in about 2 weeks. If they’re any spriting projects necessary for P2D, give me a ring…not that ill be able to work on it for a while.
eheh nice sprites you are in. But they do need a bit work though.(EG shading, stuff like that)
Yeah, i generally only use 3 shades for Fuzion style sprites, because im only doing them because there arent any complete enough sprite sheets. Thats why id like a serious P2D assignment, so ill have no choice but to take my time and make it perfect. But when you said shading, did you mean the amount of contrast, or the amount of shades. Eitherway, im trying to wrap up these projects to do something serious. BTW, im finally moving to FL thursday, and hopefully, ill have my own comp soon. Id like to help get this goddam frigate demo done though.
Damn, i needed a bump. Anyway, im at the library, but i still havent gotten my comp up. Were getting DSL, but were losing AOL sobs. Anyway, hopefully, ill get some new material up when im on.
Plz dont forget about me!!!
Whoops, forgot to mention. Boredom made me a logo. Ill animate it later.
I plan to make a spinning halberd.
[EDIT]
OMG, also, just picked up lego star wars. MOST AWSOME KIDDY GAME EVER!!
Seriously, if you have someone to play it with, you gotta pick it up. LEGO YODA, AND LEGO GREIVIOUS!!!..srry, nerdgasm.
red halberd on red background doesnt look the best >_>
Ah, i m finally back. I just got my DSL up, and ive been working for the last couple days, so heres plenty of new material.
Weavel, all i need to do is paste on gun poses, and finish halfturret sprites.
Also, heres the running animation.
Also, heres my recolored pirate. I think it needs an outline, but id like your opinions. Also, the one on the left is my sorry attemt to texture it.
Now, for the real purpose of this post. For the last couple days, ive been improving my spriting. And this is the result. Rate it, tell me how to improve it, and oogle at it.

I think im ready for the team now, what say you???
That’s… pretty darn impressive.
If I made the team, then certainly you deserve the team.
You’ve inspired me to get off my lazy ass and work >_>
PS Just so ya know, those could still use loads of work. They’re not perfect, they’re just good 
Yes, i do realize that, but the Metroid prime is a demonstration of my latest aquired skills. But it’s only my first try, and with more projects, i will get better.
Hey! You’ve really improved your skills.

It’s what 2 weeks without internet will do to a guy.
BTW, anyone know a good program for rotation without losing quality?? Also, where can i download photoshop??
you mean like a trial, or depending on where you live i could send you a full version of it (through legal methods, as i am not yet proven guilty, thus…innocent…just…dont tell anyone, lol)
also, there is no way to do rotations without losing lots of quality, even with photoshop (i know)
just redraw them
however, if they are a large picture, it will work, however, for pixel art like stuff, and sprites, it is no good.
Meh, i thought so, but i live in florida, so im kinda in the corner. But a trial would be nice, just to see if it’s worth it. Anyway, im working on some pirate sprites at the moment, but the pirates from the oficial art that never made the cut, ill post it when it’s done. Oh yeah, and my prime needs to be reshaped, ill redo that too.
You guys are bordering on the verge of warez discussion. Not doing anything wrong yet, but be warned: it is an instant, inexcusable ban if you do mention somehting. Were I you, I’d take it outside this topic.
and the message board… you know that could have been a pm Smartdude.
And isn’t that something called mini-modding? I don’t remember if it’s against the rules here, but it’s just freakin’ annoying. Well, now I’m doing it, too, but… whatever.
I didn’t understand the sprite of MP right away, seeing as I haven’t beaten it yet, but now that I’m actually seeing what I’m supposed to be… wow. Good job. The shading is quite good, if a little hard to see on an LCD screen at the wrong angle. And if I think of any other actually constructive comment, I’ll let you know.
lol, i havn’t supplied anything on board, thus, no wrong done, lol.
anyway, just look up adobe photoshop cs2 trail, then when that ends, look up adobe cs trail, after you finish the two in a row, then you would have had a month of free time. also, i dont plan on mailing something to florida (a bit too much hassle for me…sorry). but just a hint…limewire…for all your non-illegal needs!
if i was you, i would simply redraw something for rotation, thats all i can really say, its what i have had to do.
Meh, it’s pillowshaded though (or at least thats what daz said) and while i dont know if thats bad, it didnt sound good. Also, his body needs liposuction, and his legs need to beef up.
Also, thanks for the tip on photoshop, but how much would it cost to buy in the end?? Im saving up for the WII, but after that, i might pick it up.
Adobe photoshop costs a nice chunk of cash. $590 is the lowest I came up with, aside from a school discount, which had it priced at $290.
As for the note of rotations, no such program exists. It isn’t possible. You’ll have to edit a poorly program-rotated version or sprite a whole new angle for parts, because sprites just can’t be rotated that way due to the way they’re made.
The Games Factory does a somewhat okay job at it, though, while it’s still distorted as hell, you can edit them easily into something workable most of the time.
But is it possible to rotate without losing color, or gaining color?? The stupid program im using makes it all grainy and pixelated, so i have to go back, and recolor everything. And if photoshop cost that much, then FUCK PHOTOSHOP!!
