just look at all those, and at such high quality too. There is a good number of nintendo characters there also. This guy's sprite work is some of the best I have ever seen. His deviantart can be seen here, though none of the excellant cards are there. http://abysswolf.deviantart.com/

Very Nice, he's got some style (and Patience). I love the Wolf Link, Spiderman, Cyber Ninja, and Magus! Thnx for sharing!

I would rep you if I could, thanks man

 

[E123Omega]

the boswer, fox, and yoshi ones were impressive

 

[Stryks]

ta-da! I actually tried it out, both the new one usin the tut and my old one i used to use (and still will cause makin a sprite sheet with that tutorial would be a pain)

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

thats not bad stryks, though his left leg looks really weird, you shouldnt use such a dark value for his knee. Make it more subtle.

 

[Stryks]

Yeah I know had trouble with the leg, tough the rest turn out ok XD...

 

[Stryks]

I made sabers old sprite character, into a new kick *** version of it, thanx to the tut:

I actually like his sprite better, Im gonna try to fix my sprite's knee, and maybe fix the hair...

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

I like his sprite more than yours too. I also noticed on your sprite his left arm is really really big and doesnt look attached at all. On his sprite, His chest looks really flat compared to the rest of the armor. I would also add some highlights to the shield.

 

[saberhof]

hell yeah... its still pretty **** awsome

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

by the way stryks have you heard of graphics gale? Its a pixel artists dream, a much more powerful paint with LAYERS.

[saberhof]

im gonna start making sprites again, ill give this program a try, have you used it zodiak??.

 

[Stryks]

Thanx zodiak, im downloading the program, its gonna help me out a lot, and yeah I agree with u about the shield, the thing is, I dont know why I just couldnt add highlights and make it look good at the same time, I didnt have problems with the body, I just had trouble with the shield, and also I was in a hurry and I just gave it to saber, I may make some adjusments to his sprite, and as well as mine, thanx again zodiak

 

[Stryks]

*Didnt know I double post til it was too l8, my bad...*
I fixed the stuff on my sprite

I say it looks better

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

still didnt fix his arm like I mentioned. You choose a better pallette to make his skin look better. I made a quick sprite edit to fix some things on your sprite.

Fix thing you should notice is how I fixed his leg. I got rid of all the nonneeded highlights you put in. Now it actually looks bent. Another big thing I fixed was his hair. It actually kinda looks like hair now. It doesnt look like a big blob of shaded black. Finally the last big thing I changed was his arm. I made it smaller and put to close the body. Then I extended the jacket a bit to make it look like its actually around the arm. Also I get rid of non needed black outlining, as the jacket can outline that part of the arm. I also did some slight edits to the jacket and shoe. Hope this edit helps you. There is some other things that could need work, like his other leg, but I didnt feel like editing.

 

[Stryks]

Thanx zodiak it looks way better, Ill modify it by myself, I like to do my own work, dont take it the wrong way, thanx for the tip, but I would feel better once I edited mtself, so I can learn some stuff...

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

the whole point of the edit was for you to learn from it. I was hoping you would edit your original yourself using my edit as a referance

 

[Dyslixec]

The shading is very simple. You should add another shade or so of each colour. His undershirt isn't shaded at all. The colours could be a bit better as well. His legs don't seem to match up with his body. I recommend moving his right leg in slightly. His vest is a bit too bright in my opinion also.
I hope you don't mind, I basically just changed the shading and the vest colours to show you what I mean.

It's been a long time some things look kind of messy.

If anybody has any critique for a couple of my older sprites it would be appreciated...

[Stryks]

wow not bad Dyslixec, tough im still average at makin sprites, such detailed shading will take me a while to learn, but very nice, also I like ur superman sprite, very awesome, the samus one is pretty cool too...

 

[ToP CaT]

sprites are not teh pwnzor

 

[St. Viers]

no offense Dyslixec, but your shading has too much noise. Although that method of shading is great for larger sprites, it looks wrong for something this small.

For example, the vest looks like a nice chainmail vest, but not like a vest

And to give me some credability...

and my quick hack of this

 

[mkmelee]

Dyslixec, no offense intended but I know I've seen that Samus sprite on these boards, and seeing as how you have 1 post, I doubt it was posted by you, or at least not that account. Just questioning, cause the samus's quality and precision is indeed much better than the others you've shown. I'm really against art theft, and so don't be offended if it really was you who created it.

Nonetheless, I remember the Samus, and it's incredibly well made. I still stare at in awe at it's insane accuracy and godly shading.
