All right I decided to go back spriting again, so I will post my oldest sprites foirs to the most recent, you might have seen some of these before. I want to get better in spriting so I can make a game with all of my sprites from scratch. So of course I need to get better.

Ok, They are mainly recolours and WTF is the last pic?

mohamoud15

11-11-07, 19:22

Well I tried to use paint to drawa little human but it failed. Making stuff from scratch is hard.

Not really, you just gotta get the hang of it and get the proportions into it.

MechaEmperor7000

11-11-07, 19:25

Try at least to make some Frankensteins(cut'n paste sprites). Recolors just dont cut it anymore.

As for scratch sprites, you have to have alot of practice with editing before attempting it. there's a feel, like an animal know instinctivly how to hunt, that comes only with practice.

omega1237

11-11-07, 19:25

When I 1st posted sprites here, they were recolours, and people told me to start with 8bit and work you're way up, maybe you should do the same.

mohamoud15

11-11-07, 19:35

Alright I will, I will start with 8 bits(is that like the classic megaman) then frankstein like he said. And editing is a good way to help you learn editing.

yeah, it's not as easy as it looks, i hardly do it

anyway, cuz, it is not like you are trying

DNZ.EXE

12-11-07, 23:41

Its easier to scratch smaller then resize than to scratch big. It's actually not very hard.But wat is that supposed to be?

Post it here? Cause It could be highjacking.

MechaEmperor7000

12-11-07, 23:48

The first one is a bird's head and second was is a tank, the other reploid is random. Can I see some of you guys scratch work? I'm spriting a little a day to get my skills up but not interfere with school.
If you want(take a look in my thread)However, dont simply take the paintbrush and draw a vague shape. Take time to plan out the sprite, study and do some research, practice, and remember the Undo button.

Advent Axl

12-11-07, 23:58

You're gonna have to look through my thread, I dunno where my scratch sprites went

They're on the last page.

mohamoud15

13-11-07, 00:36

OH now I get what you are trying to say. You want me to look at your thread and she how good you are but not steal your sprites and change color and shape. I don't think I;ll every get that good, I have a problem recoloring. So this week I'm working on recoloring then next week editing, then frankstiens, then heavy edits.

MechaEmperor7000

13-11-07, 00:37

No, I didnt want to draw attention away from you. This is your thread and I shouldnt be stealing your thunder.

Update
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/mohamoud14/randomreploid.png
Used a dummy as a base
And more sprites from scratch

Uh... what... is that? #-_-;

It's cool, lol I can edit colors to help out your eyes, I'll update tommorow with more sprites, and it's a bird and tank. Time to study for school.

13-11-07, 05:25

Ok, heres the deal. (this is NOT meant to be mean frankly I kinda like you :D )

1. NEVER EVER SAVE THINGS IN JPEG UNLESS IT IS A PHOTO.
2. If all you do is recolor you have about as much talent as a retarded parrot.
3. ALWAYS use transparent select. (if you dont know what that is PM me)
4. Chuck Norris rocks your world.
5. When you edit blend in the colors too.

Thats it from me! Hope you dont take this the wrong way! :D

mohamoud15

13-11-07, 23:22

Why does the parrot have to be retarded? And it's cool, but not the Chuck Norris thing. Alright here is a update, this thing was mostly scratch http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/mohamoud14/whiteguycopy.png
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/mohamoud14/whiteguyinblurcopy.png
I have more but I did it at school and my photoshop is different, so I can't show everything.

DNZ.EXE

13-11-07, 23:25

I'm more of an ms-painter, but that actually much better than your previous work. Somebody here has seen too much of ' the ultimate battle" lol.<.<

mohamoud15

13-11-07, 23:32

Thanks you, it at first was supposed to be lan, but it turned out wrong so I made him pale. It's so hard to make everything precise.
And here is a field where he will be running in http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/mohamoud14/maps.jpg Made it myself its unfinished but I'm going to add more stuff.

Advent Axl

13-11-07, 23:36

All I HAVE is MS paint but that doesn't stop me from spriting so good, come on shade, SHADE!!!

mohamoud15

13-11-07, 23:38

Oh I forgot about shading, I'm not really good with it, I'll play with it for a while.

Advent Axl

13-11-07, 23:55

Why not use a base

mohamoud15

14-11-07, 00:01

A base??? I need one, can you be more specfic.

MechaEmperor7000

14-11-07, 00:06

A base is any sprite that looks like the sprite you wanna make. We cant really provide one. And as for software, I only ever use MS Paint. Hardly anyone use anything else(to my knowledge).

DNZ.EXE

14-11-07, 00:26

MS Paint is one of the oldest tools but the best and more comfortable for spriters.Others are actually used for pixel art and more advanced arts.

mohamoud15

14-11-07, 01:20

Oh and since I was trying to make Lan that is the base sprite and I should use it for shading. Also pixel art, what is that? Didn't know dnz what into all that stuff.

DNZ.EXE

14-11-07, 01:31

Pixel art is..a branch of spring, but more detailed and the majority is one pose.Think of a painting(Mona Lisa or the like) and it in pixels.

MechaEmperor7000

14-11-07, 01:40

In normal terms, it means making a picture from Pixels only. Imagine painting with only dots, not brush strokes(btw, this is called Pointlism. My teacher is....fanatica....about this style).

mohamoud15

14-11-07, 01:48

Wow I wish they had a class for that, is that even possible to make the mona lisa with pixels. What a time waster. My sprites outshine her.

MechaEmperor7000

14-11-07, 01:54

I actually have pointlism as a project for my art class. And yes, take a digital photo and you get a pixeled Mona Lisa.

mohamoud15

14-11-07, 21:34

Wow that is cheap I heard pokemon sprites are all hand drawn then pixeled. I;m going to try and make on.

K_kip515

14-11-07, 21:55

That's the basis of alot of sprites, if not all Company made ones.
Have you ever seen the books for Phoenix Wright?

mohamoud15

14-11-07, 22:36

Nope, what is it about.

K_kip515

Why not direct him to the sprite tutorial thread

mohamoud15

15-11-07, 01:15

Alright thanks, I might not be an artist but I made this 100 percent scratch. It's my ghost mugshot.http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/mohamoud14/ghostmugv2copy-1.png
I was bored so It didn't turn out so good. And now that I know I can use my drawing as sprite it will make things more easily since Im a decent drawer lol.

mohamoud15

15-11-07, 01:18

Hey guys...I don't mean to sound like a jerk but....Why doesn't someone just PM him or something and tell him the entire basis of spriting? or at least show him the spriting basics on here, sprites inc? I know your trying to help but this guys is really, well, not good at spriting...ya know?
How about you shut up and watch me get better, I'm pretty sure your crap isn't any better. And I know what I'm doing, I just started spriting just recently and don't have enough them to do all this at once.

K_kip515

15-11-07, 01:21

For the sake of avoiding further argument... (http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5101)

mohamoud15

15-11-07, 01:33

Thanks, I found a tutorial there that is very helpful, but that's not the point. Do I suck that bad, I still have potential, you act like I'm going to sprite like this forever. I'm still a beginner.

Advent Axl

15-11-07, 01:36

Well you are posting pixel art in the sprite thread (please don't argue about it I draw, I know how to do it, lets leave it at that) Look at our threads and you will see a proccess that we each go through

Skull Master

15-11-07, 01:50

What I've seen from you so far is ok, but these all seem to be the begining of WIPs. (Work in progresses.) I know that you are just a biginner, and I know that you have more stuff on your mind, but please finnish your WIPs!

ALSO! there are more than just the starting colors in paint, dubble click any color on your pallet and you will be abel to chose from a bunch of colors!

They can me used as sprites.. right.. am I wrong. If I'm wrong I will change everything.

Fuzion Phoenix

24-11-07, 21:42

Sprites are made pixel by pixel, (or if your using MSpaint dot by dot)

mohamoud15

24-11-07, 21:47

Alright thanks man, now I know what I'm going wrong. I'm going to make a dex sprite from scratch.. I might be done by today and it will be pixel by pixel.

mohamoud15

24-11-07, 22:50

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/mohamoud14/mydexsprite.png It's sloppy I was working quick.

Fuzion Phoenix

24-11-07, 22:57

That not even close too scratch!
It's an ugly recolor/edit.

mohamoud15

24-11-07, 23:03

The clothes is scratch, but I used a template. And I know it sucks I'm just trying to get better, what can you do.

Zomaxiee

24-11-07, 23:04

Atleast he isn't giving up, and that is the main thing. I have a recolour tutorial if you want to see it and why not start with 8-bit sprites? They are easy to make, they don't need shading, and 8-bit is a great way to get started!

mohamoud15

24-11-07, 23:19

Thanks, I'm going to take a break for these last two days and do 8 bit. Maybe I'm trying to move to fast and not learning the basics. I feel like deleting all the crap I posted earlier. I would never quit, I'm not a quiter. But I was thinking of practicing and when I get better post here like in a month but I decided here is the best for C+C.
