[Cutman EXE]

gateman has already had a mugshot, and your "custom navi" is just recolored yamatoman.

[lordmetroid]

And they're all JPEGs. Never use JPEGs. Use GIFs or PNGs. And the custom navi needs more editing.

[GearDragon]

my compy has waayy too many friggin' image styles and freqeuntly changes them to piss me off, also Shade's head is Shadowman's head without the star.
also last time I chacked the weren't jpegs, crap i gotta fix that thanks guys ^^* (death to photobucket, changes service thingy)

files fixed, I'll work on editing them more later, anymore comments?

[Mikado]

Poor friends, giving them recolors....

[GearDragon]

*angry twitch* those were my very first sprites, ok?
I'm a n00b go easy please...
I'm working on some ddeper edited sprites just please be a little more constructive in the criticizm(i cant spell), i.e. nice color scheme, maybe you should edit a part here and a part there, etc.

[mastadon]

Here's some constructive criticism. Im a 32-bit spritist myself, and yes i was a n00b when i started off BUT the way i became better was doing work on 16-bit sprites first. Get a megaman or bass or protoman and start editing it(not recolour or pasting something on it). E.G adding details to the buster or adding spikes on armour and so forth.

When you do this and post it, ask for specific C+C like 'C+C on spikes'.
Then people will only look at the spikes and tell you if they are good or need work on. If people start to comment on the whole sprite instead of the little bits your worried about, then you can get angry.

If you need any more beginner tips, you can always ask me for afew guidelines, ill be happy to help XD

[GearDragon]

Some Navis with a bit of editing:
un-named:
http://xs302.xs.to/xs302/06264/ninjanavi.png

Grenadecross/soul Megaman:
(Small parts of King Reaper's PD sprite sheet were edited for use in this sprite)
http://xs302.xs.to/xs302/06264/gsmm.png

C+C on these overall, please.

[Mikado]

The grenade man cross doesn;t resemble megaman anymore.
And un-named looks strangely familiar...

[GearDragon]

The red one is mine, and it is a bit of a spin off of the black one in my earlier posts, and I'm gonna mess around with the grenade cross/soul one, any suggestions on editing them more?

[Mikado]

Ramake him. Megaman crosses have atleast to resemble megaman.

[GearDragon]

I remade it, what do you think now?
http://xs302.xs.to/xs302/06264/gsmm2.png

[lordmetroid]

It still doesn't look alot like Mega. Maybe you should add the symbol for MegaMan.

[Mikado]

Megaman has not, his head pushed, into his body.
Make him over.

[Hyoi_Pear]

I really like the Grenade Cross...

[GearDragon]

thanks all, I'll work on it, but in the meam time I have a few more,
http://xs303.xs.to/xs303/06270/cheif.png
I was playing halo alot and made a custom head and right arm, then recolored the body of searchman, I give you, master cheif! c+c on head and right arm please

http://xs303.xs.to/xs303/06270/cosplay1.png
my first attempt at a Darkmech navi, c+c please

http://xs103.xs.to/xs103/06270/phoenixnavi.png another one I made for kicks, c+c

[ReSpored]

the darkmech navi looks pretty cool but i think you sould shorten the swords abit or atlest the longest looking one ,the halo one looks.... werid i don't know why

[GearDragon]

New Sprite, born of Franken practicing! I call him... Wildfire.exe >_>
I think he's cool... used a lot of bases if anyone can name all of them I'll... give them a cookie?
http://xs304.xs.to/xs304/06311/wildfiredotexe.png
4 total bases, anyway, back from summer camp, will be more sprting soon.

[garethfurbank]

HeatMan, FireMan and BurnerMan - but I can't get the legs off the top of my head, and can't be bothered to look through all the sprites.

Good colouring and blending on that though, not a bad frankenstein at all.

[GearDragon]

Thank you very much, the legs are modified off Punk's, I just didn't like the feet, so I put Burnerman's on Punk's legs. I have spriter's block, any suggestions on what to do next?

[crimson hammer]

that was great how you modified punks legs to make it custom now you should do that with every other piece.
you should edit the head to make it less like heat man

[.Bio]

Wow that's your best yet. Keep making sprites like those.

[GearDragon]

Actually, I'm going to leave it alone, it was as previously stated, oinly a pratice. I'm taking suggestions on completely new projects, if you want a navi made post a description here. One ata a time please... ^^;;

[GearDragon]

Update:
The revised Wildfire.exe... I liked him ok? I decided to make him a charcter type thing(as in less heatman-y) added two more bases any guesses?

http://xs304.xs.to/xs304/06312/wildfiredotexe2.png
c+c? I might put this one in the rating thread... i'm afraid though >_>

[Jace]

It's alright but it looks WAY too clustered.

[DragonZero]

Don't worry. My Navi DragoMan got alright ratings. I know I'd give Wildfire at least a 6.5/10. I can see you changed the head a bit, but other than that it looks a lot like the old one. Also, you may want to use smaller hands... Jace's right.

[GearDragon]

Ok here's the newest version, smaller arms, redone legs, slightly edited, c+c?
http://xs304.xs.to/xs304/06312/wildfiredotexe3.png
I'm pretty positive I'm going to put this one up in the rating thread...

[Jace]

MUCH better. I like it. Good job!

[DragonZero]

Mehbeh not... You've gotta make sure the arms are the right size for his body. I had GroundMan's arms in mind, if you want my advice.

[Jace]

Now that you mention it... DZ is right make them about the size of groundmans.

[DragonZero]

Maybe CloudMan's? You know... Beefier stuff. I mean, he's pretty large as is. One more note: maybe make his legs thicker.

[GearDragon]

I dunno, I pictured him as a quick navi. Personally, I think the arms suit the legs on this one, maybe I'll try one with thicker arms and legs... like Ground's arm's and... any suggestions for the legs?:g-drop:

[DragonZero]

BurnerMan? No, you've already got some parts from him... How about CosmoMan's?

[GearDragon]

don't like cosmoman... he's a little... fruity...
maybe sparkman's?

[DragonZero]

SparkMan's are a bit too... Having circles for feet. Maybe BombMan's?

[GearDragon]

http://xs204.xs.to/xs204/06312/wildfiredotexe3-b.png
It actually looks pretty good, bombman's were too... funky... I still like my other one better, let's say maybe he has power and speed modes, so he switches between the two for different enemies...
I'm done for the night, peace!:g-winky:

[DragonZero]

Woah... You're good at dramatic exits!

[garethfurbank]

Might need that around here - people can get a bit nasty at times. Well Wildfire is looking better and better - I prefer the speedy on to be honest, but the chunky one's pretty good too.

[R-MegaMan]

I don't know if this will count for anything, but I think Wildfire could have three forms: Speed, Power, and Defense.

Power form is the first one (on this page) you submitted. He attacks using heat wave and flamethrowers.

Speed form would be the fast-looking one you submitted. He has an attack like BurnerMan's Flame Dash.

Defense Form would be the most recent one you submitted. When in this form, he emits a fire barrier that increases in power when hit, so you can't hit him with normal attacks or battle chips; and Fire-type attacks are really bad. Breaking-type attacks can hurt him, but they still increase the barriers power. Aqua-type attacks are the only things that can hurt him AND disable his barrier. After a certain amount of time, Wildfire turns the barrier into a fireball that he lauches at you.

[Doogles]

That guy's not bad. He needs more editing, though. I can tell ya where each of those pieces came from, right off the top of my head.

[GearDragon]

That and there listed on the first two pages... >_>

But yeah, the reason was once I found a style I liked, I would edit more. Thank you for the comments however. R-megaman's got a good idea, I think I'll edit all three and work on a sheet for them.

also:Might need that around here - people can get a bit nasty at times. Well Wildfire is looking better and better - I prefer the speedy on to be honest, but the chunky one's pretty good too.
he he... he said chunky...:g-laugh:

[Doogles]

That and there listed on the first two pages... >_>

Really? I hadn't noticed.

[GearDragon]

Throughout the creation this is every base in the sprite up to the latest verion, I would like to know how many you got right however.:g-winky:
HeatMan, FireMan and BurnerMan
Thank you very much, the legs are modified off Punk's, I just didn't like the feet, so I put Burnerman's on Punk's legs.
That's what I was talking about, the 'chunky' one has Ground's arms and Spark's feet, as stated in the post, the only three pieces that aren't talked about are the hair, and helmet of the recent versions, and the arms of the 'Speed' version, which are respectively, Tenguman's, Colonel's and HeatCross edited with Tomahawk's.

[GearDragon]

Update:

Overworld:
http://xs204.xs.to/xs204/06313/wildfiredotexeow.png

Final Version, I'm sticking with this as his 1 and only version:
http://xs204.xs.to/xs204/06313/wildfiredotexefinalversion.png

Only one arm is on fire now, it has his symbol on it, yada yada yada... I like this one, it's goin to the rate thread now...

Edit: Forgot, made this for an Aftermath Ep that will come out soon, i'm proud of it. It's my character playing Guitar Hero, the Guitar is full scratch, for all but the neck, which is an edit of the snow shovel from exe4(?)
http://xs204.xs.to/xs204/06313/Joveworlddlmgh.png

[garethfurbank]

So that final version's kinda all of them rolled up together?

It's pretty good, well done!

However - the feet on the overworld don't match up to the in battle feet - make the overworld ones grey too, instead of red.

[GearDragon]

Yeah, i made that first and forgot to change it ^^'
I'll get right on that

[GearDragon]

Updates: Completely Complete Wildfire.exe Sheet, J poses

Link to Wildfire Sheet(it's big): http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/2205/wildfireatksheetcompleteye1.png

J Poses:
http://xs204.xs.to/xs204/06314/Joveworlcomic2.png

[Worenx]

Hm. Not bad, but perhaps you should add flames on the arm facing us. The way you have now, it lacks continuity. Of course, I'm probably just being a wet blanket about, but I think it would look better. As for the bomb throwing one, use the same arm you used for the base. Heatman's, right? I'm sure he has a bomb throwing sprite.

Also, J looks a little too much like ...Chaud(...Protoman's operator). I think it's the hair.

[GearDragon]

Trust me, if you saw his original version, you'd laugh. It was Chaud with blonde hair where it was white...

[GearDragon]

Update: more C+P practice,it's a simple one.
http://xs105.xs.to/xs105/06346/Lance.png

Note: I'm currently working on stuff for my MM Team, so don't expect much from me for another long while. ^^U Sorry.

[GearDragon]

UPDATE:
Model N: (NOW WITH NAPALMBOMB)[Napalmbomb is full scratch]
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4232/zxmodelncm6.png
Huzzah! ^^

[Zero20XD6]

Good jo GD

[Mikado]

The canon on his head is abit to long and to thin and to flat.
I suggest to make it over. make it more round with shading, andnot so long and bit more bright.

[GearDragon]

So, yeah it's me, I've been spriting again and I wanna know what I should make for a navi next? Any ideas?

[RyuReiatsu]

Why not making an MMZ sprite instead Xd?

[GearDragon]

Because I'm much better at navis, and I wanna make one, I just don't know who I should...

[GearDragon]

Ok, I've been re-doing my ZX characters, Jean and Model Napalm, got Jean mugs, new head for Napalm. etc.
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4964/zxmodelndy9.png

In progresss:
-Basic walking(Jean)
-Basic Running(Jean)
-More Attacks(Napalm)
-Walking(Napalm)
^should be done today, tommorow or end of this/early next week.

*Also in progress fully animateable sheets of Jean and model N, just need some free time. Might take a while... XD

I'd also like to know what you guys think of Jean's new look.

[NetSaver.exe]

His coat needs shading. Other than that it looks good.

[GearDragon]

I think it's fine, it's very dark, and it would be hard to shade, the outline is brighter than the color so it would look akward.

[GearDragon]

Update-ish:
I got bored and made an 8-bit sprite for no reason.
Behold, Crusademan;
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9851/crusademanog9.png

:g-ninja: Bases:
knightman, megaman, and quickman.

[GearDragon]

Update:
ZX sprites, Jean full walk(in guardian armor), Mugshots, and the beginning of Model C(rash):
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1968/zxjtakahashixu4.png

[GearDragon]

Update, more stuff, reorganized sheet;
http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/4861/zxjtakahashiha0.png

[MegaManPrime]

That's pretty cool, my friend! Keep up the good work!

[Kairos]

Great job dude,you are Awsome.

[Dead Panda]

From the first few sprites to this....

YOU ARE THE SHIT!(in a good way)

[Nicktendonick]

The crashman sprite looks pretty good. But is that model Crash-Napalm or just model Crash?

Crashman has a face, so giving him that cover over his face would not be correct with him.

[GearDragon]

It is just Crash, but there is the fact that now it is a human/reploid underneath the armor instead of a robot, thus can be hurt by heat explosions. If you shot rockets out of your hands to fight someone at close range would you want a face mask to protect you or not?

I might recolor it to work better with his color scheme though...

[GearDragon]

Ok, I've been working on a new look for Wildfire,
and in the process of working on him, I created a Dark-Shell for him.
Wildfire's Dark-Shell is like Wisp is to Necroman, called Dark-Shell because Wildfire has a customized prgoram allowing him to shed his dark side so he can delete it and remain pure. Ocassionally they will be more powerful, and escape causing problems on the net but Wildfire eventually catches up and deletes 'em, unless someone else does first.
http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/981/darkfirevirushf4.png
The Dark-Shell has been named the Darkfire Virus.

Also he s unfinished, I'm going to add fire to his shoulders where the spikes are.

[DragonZero]

That's WildFire? It looks more like a Virus. Or is it WildFire's DarkSoul?

[GearDragon]

That's WildFire? It looks more like a Virus. Or is it WildFire's DarkSoul?
Did you read that post? At All? -_-
It's his 'Dark-Shell' when he uses too many Dark Chips, and becomes a DarkNavi, he sheds the Darkness, and leaves behind the Dark Shell.
It then needs to be deleted before it can cause trouble, it's sometimes stronger than it should be and can escape.

[DragonZero]

Sorry. I read a bit of it, but it was worded sorta weird. :D It's just that you said it was like Wisp, but the explanation didn't sound like Wisp very much at all, so I got confused.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool idea. Is it (DarkShell) an Ability that only WildFire has, or is it an item that other Navies can buy?

[GearDragon]

Hmm, maybe I'll make the program something J created and sells...
I'll call it...
DarkReject!
Now available for 10,00 zenny! Give me money!
*evil laugh*

[Saigo]

uggh, someone tell me whats going on here?

[GearDragon]

We're talking about my sprite a few posts up.
It'd make sense if you read from the post with the sprite and then follow the conversation.

Note: Please don't post here if it has nothing at all to do with my sprites.

[tuckur21]

Its good the shadow just looks a bit weird to me I think its the shape of it.
And GD Jenova does this a lot.

[Jace]

Yes, he does.

Anyway, GD. Do you mind If I use that to help me with a Fireman Redesign I'v had in the works for awhile now? The head is what I really need though.

[GearDragon]

Yeah, it's still unfinished, I just thought it looked pretty good so far.

And if he doesn't wanna talk about what the thread is about, he has no business posting in it. XP

EDIT- Hang on one second Jace.

[tuckur21]

I realized what was wrong with the shadow. If he has a square base then the shadow should be only in the front or the back but not both.

[GearDragon]

I realized what was wrong with the shadow. If he has a square base then the shadow should be only in the front or the back but not both.
Well then yell at Capcom, I just recolored his foot... thing...

@Jace: Here's the head.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1414/wildfireheadkc7.png

Yup Thats it, and the eyes were scratched, the whole four pixels...
but if you need more I'd be glad to lend a hand.

[tuckur21]

You are talking about Darkshell right because I don't see any feet...

[Jace]

That's alright. I think I can get it. If not I'll let you know.

Oh, and kickass sprite. I might make one for Ectoman.

[GearDragon]

Yeah, and even though he's unfinished, he's not getting a second arm.
Yet anywas, there will eventually be a more powerful version of the DarkShell.

I'll try to get my progress on the new design of Wildfire up tonight.

You are talking about Darkshell right because I don't see any feet...

His 'foot thing', the tower piece that is where his legs should be. It's the lower half of gun-tower of whatever that EXE6 virus is...

[Saigo]

uggh..someone please explain to me what your talking about

[tuckur21]

Need I repeat myself!?
Learn to fucking read posts before you ask questions about them! I think that this is just your way of getting your post count higher! Remember its not the quantity its the quality.

[GearDragon]

Please stop posting here just to get post ranking, you're starting to piss me off. >.<

Edit-Thank you Tucker.

[Saigo]

oh, i didnt understand what you were talking about because it's not loading the picture.

[GearDragon]

Then don't post, it's as simple as that.

[Saigo]

okay, well i just wanted to know what you were talking about because of that fire thingy that you had posted earlier, and it sounded like the same one but different and i wanted to know what it was.
