Jappio Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Well I'm breaking away from my usual sprite thread so I could get some notice. Oh yes, the irony that I would post a normal thread to get noticed when my usual one is sticky'd =P Lately I felt I haven't done anything quite big enough. I needed to do something special. I've gone from project to project. I've done a few different things. However now is the time I think I'm ready for a bit of a turning point. I wanted to do a sprite that I could feel gauged my abilities, and was at the same time significant. I know I do a lot of Pokemon stuff, but Pokemon isn't my favorite thing ever. No The Legend of Zelda is. So to help have me reach a new mile stone, I made this: I used a style that was used in some random game I found out about while trying to figure a style. it's called CapcomXNamco (Caught my eye because of the Tales of Characters I saw =P). I may or may not do a cool animation in the future. So really I am looking for any kind of comment here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Good god, when was the last time I felt I had to bump something... Oh to be young again. Edit: Actually screw a regular bump. I'll actually make this a content update. I did some changes based on some input I got. So that proves before it was not perfect. Is there any problems now though? Is there stuff I've yet to fix, or some error that has gone unnoticed this whole time? Even pros aren't perfect, so even though I don't know if I've done anything wrong, but I doubt I'm void of errors now. Edit Again: Ok I actually did a tad more messing around with the face. Different angle obviously. Lost the Cyclops look in the least. I tried fixing the pose up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Lol. Its not that no one wants to post, its that no one knows how. We dont get too many sprites like this, if it were pokemon you would be flooded with posts. Anyway It looks really good. I dont know much about sprites. I used to do a bit of Pokemon splicing/spriting/recoloring that kind of crap a while back, and I guess I picked up some stuff. Shading though is probably the first thing i noticed. Really good as well. Oh and the second version is better. Plus I couldnt help but add, that he looks as if hes wearing those UGG things. Yeah im so cool, cause i know what those are.

Jappio Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Well it's annoying. I doubt my chosen style is the only reason people are avoiding the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiAM Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 If it's any consolation, I actually like the sprite, it's detailed well and looks like a lot of effort went into it. One question though, is it scratched or edited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Its not that no one wants to post' date=' its that no one knows how.[/quote']^This^ Jappio, your sprites are just too good. At most, someone could say: "It has amazing detail, and the shading makes it seem really high quality. I <3 the detail it has"owait, I just did :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You're way too good for a craphole site like this. No one on this site could make a sprite like that. No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 One question though' date=' is it scratched or edited?[/quote'] Scratched of course. It's meant to gauge my abilities to their full potential, so of course it's scratched =P Thanks also for the compliments guys. Although I of course want criticism the most, I will accept compliments too. I can understand if you can't find flaws, because I'm having a tough time finding them. My lack of a proper ego prevents me though from thinking it's perfect, and since I want to improve, that's why I think there must be issues in there somewhere. Some people found some in the original sprite, some found it in the second version. As comments have been slowing down in general, I might be considering animating...

gizmo00999 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The hat could use a little more light, and the sword is weirdly shaded =3 Although, you fixed the face, which is good ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lily Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You're way too good for a craphole site like this. No one on this site could make a sprite like that. No one. That metalflygon dude says otherwise~But yeah... It has amazing detail, and the shading makes it seem really high quality. I <3 the detail it has. lolcopypaste. I don't know why, but I can't help but think something is wrong with the back boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappio Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The sword shading looks unconventional, I agree, however that's how Capcom X Namco does sword shading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
