View Full Version : Neko Sprites! ^^
OK, so I'm new. Well, I'm Neko, and I'm glad to be here. I'm an ameture spriter, and I'm not the best, but I'm a little good. Well, I'll just let my current sprite speak for itself.

Well, this is my ZX fan character, Lavi, so far. Yes, his body is a recolor of Vent's with trimmed down shoulders and a longer shirt, but I like it that way. ^^ And yes, he does have a biometal, and it's an original one, based off of a fan character, with an original design and weapon. I just haven't sprited it yet. ^^; I'll give out more info on the Mega Man form when I sprite it(Which will be after I'm done with Lavi.) I personally like his hair myself. It reminds me of Roxas from Kingdom Hearts(It was not intentional. I just put vent's hair color onto a modified version of Grey's hair, and it ended up like that. So sue me. :p) Any comments? Constructive criticism? I think I might need it.
Well, you need to get rid of thsoe clothes eventually, since he doesn't/can't work for Giro Express. Second, change the hair a bit more, since it is too simialr to Grey's. Your purple could use some more contrast on the darker shades.
Whooo! Commander!
I didn't think of the clothes problem. *Sigh* I'll fix the purple. I guess I need to go back and change the clothes while I'm at it. Thanks!

Try taking the Purple from Model P, PX, or Prometheus. Maybe DiaDrake...?
Though the Design could also use some work, as it's so far just a Frankenstein with minor Edits... I don't really have any ideas, though. *Sweat Drop*
You know what? I think I'm just going to completely redo him. That sprite is going out the window. I'll post the next one when I get a couple sprites done. :o

Thatta boy, neko!
Let's see how good you can do.
So what would his biometal be? Can you at least tell us the name?
Okay, I'll tell you it's name. It's model C(For Conell, the name of my MMZ fan charie), the Mega Man of beasts/fauna/the wild(Haven't decided). And, while I'm typing, I need help. I have no idea how to dress him. I know I've scrapped the purple color for a yellow/yellow-orange to match his model, but I have no clothes ideas. Anyone want to help? Or with the hair? I cannot sprite hair for my life. DX

You could try a tribal look.

A good referance is to look at a Predator (The ones from AVP and Predator), they have a pure tribal look.
I like your tribal idea, but I got a better idea. How about an Native American look! It was inspired by your tribal idea. Now to try and sprite a brown version of Keenan's(from Digimon: Data Squad) hair...
Uhh.. here it is. It's all scratched, except the pallets. The second is model P's pallet, and the first is a custom pallet based on the colors of Argoyle's/Model AU's colors, and has the same make up as model P's. My brother edited the last one to make the first one. Model AU was made by Gravitee, I was just bored and made the biometal for him. :p

I think everyone prefers Ua now. Thanks for the Biometal, it rocks.
If you make another you can post it in my topic if you like.
Except Model Bf (buckfire) I was making one for him. Then I didn't like it and binned it but now I do like it and wish I didn't. >.<;

First) Jpeg bad.
Second) Thats cute.
Third) The very first and the last are the best.
Fourth) The last seems a bit too small but I'll have to check against other bm's
Fith) Bms don't have to look like a head. They can be anything like maybe wheel shaped or something.
Gravitee:Thank you! Which one did you like better? I personally like the second and last ones. ^^ I'll do QB next. ^^
ZombieChoa: I made it look like a head because that's the idea that popped in my head when I was making it. And it was originally BMP but photobucket messed it up.
Yeah. It does that to me too. Try PNG.
3rd one is my favorite.
I tried doing Hs, but tiredness and attempting to scratch a sprite don't mix.
Oh! I just remembered that I planned on spriting UA completly. I'll do QB when I'm finished with that. ^^;
Update:

Any help with the turning sprites? They turned out terrible. XP
Actually, the turning sprites are better than the foward sprite.
Another thing, they are too polygonal. Too well defined shapes. Make more curves, and maybe a more original design using the three pipes in the back of the two.
The back of the model is too round and bulgy.
And the overall design of it needs to be slimmed down. Just look how compact the other (official) models are, and how a lot of detail is crammed into a small space. Like Drei mentioned, it's too polygonal, and a bit large.
Trim it down, make it compact, add in more detail, and make it look official.
I'd suggest you use official sprites to compare shading techniques to do this.
Also, might I suggest adding the tassle under the model?
Model Z has that weird beard length under the model like this:
____
'(--)'
..\/...<--That's what I'm talking about.
You know the thing that Argoyle/Ugoyle has dangling around their neck? I thought it might be cool to see that hanging down from the model as well.
Okay. I'll try to compact it, and add those cool tuby things. ^^ And I did try to compare with the official shading style. I'm just not a gifted shader. ^^;
EDIT:

How's this one? ^^ Still have no idea how to stop photobucket from messing with it. Grr.......
Then use Imageshack...it keeps them a PNG.
Also, I think you misunderstood me...I was talking about this:
http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/9843/uatasslezh9.png
The white tassle that is around their neck...not the tubing...
Though, if you wanted to sprite smaller tubing, it'd be fine I guess.
1: If the image is saved as BMP before you upload it, that's why it's being converted.
2: try making them look like some kind of light comes from the eye so it doesn't seem so Model P-ish.
3: Don't you already have a sprite thread smoewhere?
A very old sprite thread I really don't wanna revive. XP
Hmm... the tassles..... I guess I can try to add the. :P
edit:
http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/3493/uaug0.png (http://imageshack.us)
Tried to fix eyes, and tried to add tassles. ^^
Well, I'm starting a new thread because my last one was for a specific sprite, and the one before that is too old to revive. XP So, here's model C(onell), MegaMan of beasts/fauna/animal/the wild(still haven't decided). ^^ Hope you like it. *Prepares for harsh treatment*
I like the jacket. Not many models have a shut jacket without stealing vent's.
And it does look like it's being used by someone other than vent (unlike most of mine, which all have vent's face planted on.)
In other words- Good for not looking like vent.

Even though the other topic was supposed to be for that one specific sprite, I can see the mods not being happy you creating another one. You could've just posted in there and asked a mod/admin to change the title to reflect the change in sprites.
EDIT: Er.... right... The sprite is nice, kinda reminds me of Ugoyle, but very nice.
It's not bad..it just needs something.......more. I don't really know what it needs, but something else, to make it it's own model, you know? hmm...try to give it something else, maybe on it's legs or arms I think..I dunno, mess with it.
The tail is well animated. Like others mentioned, it gives off an Argoyle/Ugoyle feel, but I think that's just because of the color choice.
I'm sure that if you went with other cat-like colors, and not their purple, that it would resemble them both much less than it does now.
Oh, and the cat-ears look good, but then why does he still have the regular ear-pieces below it? I'd suggest you keep only the top-most cat-like ears.
Your sprite threads were merged together because... Well... You had three. Please stick with just this one; you don't need to make a new thread for every sprite. In fact, you shouldn't. >.>;

Uhh.. I have no idea either. Maybe.... ooh! I got it! I could make his gloves and boots look more like paws! ^^

I didn't use Argoyle's colors, unless he shares colors with Siarnaq. With the ear piece, I don't know. I just kept it the from the NPC head it was edited from. I'll get rid of it.
Edit:
Okay, I tried to edit it. I hope it you like it. Also,I abandoned the paw idea, as I can't do it. But I still have no idea what to do with the gloves and/or boots. DX

Makes methink of the Bunny Hood...
When are you adding the skates?

Skates? either it's a joke I don't find funny, or you didn't read the post you quoted. XP

It's not an Ugoyle/Argoyle biometal Mathis, this has already been stated. *Points at your quote*
Unless they share colors with SiarnaqYou know...I'm sure they do.
But anyway, skates would be funny. But very un-neko-like.
As for paws, I'm sure you can look to the real A/U design and mimick it. All you have to do is give your character white gloves, with bulgy fingers.
Xet knew where I was coming from when I posted that. But yeah, since it looks to be cat based, why not mimickthem?
you should give it a four-legged stance. You know, like ready to pounce? And you should try a yellow/spotted color scheme, like a lepard, that would be sweet. Just shooting ideas out there.

Hmm... yeah, that could work. And that gave me a very good idea. ^^

You mean like an "on all fours" stance? Hmm... interesting. With the color scheme.... I like purple. XD He's my model, right? So I can choose the color scheme I want. But that's a good idea.
yeah you can choose the color scheme dude, XP Like I said, just shootin ideas out there.
Okay, I've gotten rid of some of the A/U likeness by using some of Prometheus's colors. I think he looks great. Just so you know: The outline is still Siarnaq's. The other colors are Prometheus's.
Well, I'm back from hiatus, with sprites! ^^ Anyway, I put the tail on the battle stance/breathing sprites, and I made some of the running sprites. I don't know what to do with the tail on them. DX I decided not to add that unique thing until later. When I have the walking/running sprites done.
