Advanced edit: After having my sprites stolen twice, I made the decision to make my sprites not PD, unless I say so. Just drop me a PM or ask me in the thread before you use my sprites for something. Please

Time to show my stuff. Here's all the sprites I've done.....

First of all, Here's the first thing I ever did. I did it in like 15 minutes after I downloaded all the bases....I still also called Alpha Alphaman then too. (he is a fanchar I made)

http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/3661/cielmetfanclub7lp.png

Now, here's my first sprite sheet of my first creation, Alpha! (thus he's called Alpha, cause he's the first thing I ever tried)

http://img437.imageshack.us/img437/3338/16bitalphaspritesheet3ta.png

Now, here's Alpha again,but this time in Rockman Zero Style. I gave it the nickname "alpha neo" after I decided to go to 32 bit and ditch the MM7 style. I know he's just a recolor now, but I plan to upgrade him and give him a much cooler look

http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/1131/alphaneoshowssheet20rv.png

If you didn't notice, I decided to give alpha the traits of Alpha/Proto, thus he has a certain version of his attacks. And then I expanded on them.

I took the reverse vulcan and Sigma thunder moves of Proto and gave them to my Alpha in the form of arm cannons, the reverse arm and the Sigma arm. Each with different abilities.

The Alpha buster mode has the standard buster, the Delete beam (from Proto's Red eyes delete attack), and the beta missle (made up)

The Reverse arm has a vulcan buster, and also the move reverse wind, which can blow stuff away, and suck stuff in (such as enemy attacks) into the whrilwind and send it back at the target. plus Alpha can fire off the Alpha buster shots rapid fire vulcan style, yet it does use up alot of energy.

The Sigma arm has a thunder bolt attack(like elecman.exe's, taking off the painful move sigma lightining move of Proto.exe) and the defense move Sigma magnet (think RMZ4's tractor shot with a energy shield instead) and then do the sigma wave, which is unleashing the power in wave form, and the sigma spike, unleashing the power in a spike form to impale targets.

Now the Omega rocket is the same rocket Proto.exe uses. A super strong missle that destroies a whole lot.

Now his trademark skill is called Shift- Alpha's body teleports a short distance away from him (in the vain of how Nightcrawler of the X-men can, but no poof). The move's restrictions are that he has to know where he's warping and he becomes vundable where he is appearing as he shifts from one place to another. Not to mention that he keeps his inertia when he shifts, so if he shifts off a moving train, he's gona have a rough landing. I made a quick little comic that explains shift and Delete beam a bit

http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/4029/exampleofshiftanddeletebeamfin.png

Now his EX skill is Shift buster, where he puts all his energy into his arms, forms arm cannons on both arms, then uses shift to place the busters to opposite sides of the target. Then he fires two beams to clash right on the target and trap them in the blast. This can be done both Horizontally and Vertically

As so....

http://img431.imageshack.us/img431/4113/exampleofshiftbuster2tn.png

Here's Alpha in the .exe style. the sheet is massivly incomplete though, and the finger sprite stinks. It's on Hiatius for other sprite projects at the moment.

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/1336/alphaexe11vu.png
(and I know the finger sprite stinks)

Like I said I decided to redo MMZ Alpha, and here's what I have. I also threw in a MMX style I tried (still at recolor level yet, also the X pose is made by Smoke Frostheart), and also Alpha.exe new poses (and a redone one) and also 8 bit Alpha, from a sprite made by DisgruntledFerret that I found that looked like it suited Alpha and also mm 8-bit style alpha.

I also tried to add the head thing on his head, like in his exe version too, I may go with that all the way with the helmet change if liked enough.
http://img427.imageshack.us/img427/9307/alphamanystyleconcepts0zv.png

Now enough about alpha and time for me. I did a sprite for me....and yes I know it sucks.

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/4685/nickspritesheet79fi.png
I decided to not to have it as an image, cause I don't use it anymore.

Also if you see, I'm a fan of the Phantasy star series. And the Sword i use is the Eylsion, a holy sword of the series (and personally one of my favorite weapons to use.....aside from the fact that it stinks in PSO).

Like I said before, my sprite sinks so I changed it, here's how it looks. Currently though,

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/2570/nickspritesheetversion14cbeta2.png

I decided not to make this a img tag, it's way too big and would strech this thread. Also to mention about my "Photon Arts" attacks, well, they're kinda like my super moves. The elysion magic is something that doesn't use my energy but the elysion's power (it is a magic sword after all)

Also, here's somthing else I did when I was trying to come up with a improved look.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/flavorsa.png

the first four are different color styles, then the next row starts with me in resistance and Caravan styles. Then me in another style. and with some shades and such in a badass evil style. At the bottom is the base for the coattail, which I made myself. Also, for the 7 standing styles, I tried shading the legs in different ways.

Anyway, here's a preview of my updated look. along with my favorite weapon from PSO, the Asuka double swords. Man I love this weapon.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/almostupdate2.png

(and also, a purple harpuia and a harpuia cosplay armor...for no good reason)

....yet...I may scrap the PSO Mage idea for some live armor ideas I've been toying with. And this is them (the Alpha model, and the Harpuia-A model)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/alphamodel2.png

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/Harpuia-Alphamodel.png

and the animated avatar versions! (my first two animations as well!)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Avatars/hamodeltest3.gif

Now for some exe style sprites.

I have two navis. One is Alpha.exe (my navi), and the other has a current sheet.

She is Nyro.exe, a Ex-Gospel fire type Navi. She's definitly someone you don't want to meet in a allyway.

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/8426/nyroexesheet35qd.png

and now, some sigs I've done over the time...

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Sigs/sigmegamannotgood.png

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Sigs/sigzerosissy.png

(Url cause it would strech)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Sigs/purple.png

and that's basically everything for now. so, what do you think?

Hobo

02-05-06, 18:06

My favorite would have to be Nyro. Although it looks really cartoony it's still cool.

Tai

03-05-06, 01:31

Nyro's your best by far.

Nicktendonick

03-05-06, 08:25

Thanks you two, and now, a New sheet!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Sprite%20sheets/nickSpritesheetversion15.png

finally, a ton of updates! It's been a while since I updated this thing. It's been a really long while. But I got a good deal of new things to show you all.

First,you'll notice that I look a bit different. That's because I changed the colors of my sheet a bit, to mke it flow better. Also, I changed my vest a bit too, making it more vest like and having it go over my belt.

Now also, you'll notice I took out the Photon arts things too. well, I decided to, I thought it over and I'll mostly scrap it to a degree. Instead, you got charging animation and the power attacks of mine.

Ok ,now you'll notice a new weapon. The Asuka double swords. Out of every weapon in PSO, the Asuka ranks the highest on my favorites list. I don't want to make them have Harpuia's attack animation though (for those who play PSO, they way the double sword weapons are used are completly different then harpy's), so I they will mostly be put together more customly. yet the only problem is that I can't scratch, so there's problem in that for me. I'll over come it somehow.

Also, you'll notice something at the bottom. My Live armor transformations!

The A-Model and a Harpuia-A model. and as you see I began the A-model sheet.

Tai

03-05-06, 14:14

I like it. You should make a MMZ spriting tutorial.

Nicktendonick

03-05-06, 15:51

I like it. You should make a MMZ spriting tutorial.

unforunatly, I'm not that good in spriting in general. Heck, I can bairly scratch...

GrooveMan.exe

03-05-06, 17:04

Not important. I'm working on a character in MMZ style, and if you had any tips, it would help a bucket-load.

Tai

03-05-06, 17:09

Yeah it really would. I really want to make MMZ sprites but I'm not very good.

Nicktendonick

03-05-06, 17:53

allright, but currently I'm going to be busy today, so I'll while I'm out today I'll think up how.

But people asking me for a MMZ tutorial? wow...I'd never thought I'd see the day.

But first, let me say this. I am aweful at shading. Do not ask me how because I am horid on it. Besides, I think EXE warriors has a better shading guide anyway.

well here's a few things I herd that I think can (don't know if it's true or not).

1- The Zero style is 20% smaller then X style (a X style sprite at 80% = Zero style), yet I've never tried,

2- You can't really make breasts unless you want them to be very large. The Style isn't that good for making women men drool over, (yet capcom managed to do... *bricked*)

YinYang

04-05-06, 04:37

OMG! Those were amazing! Especially the first comic thing! It was awesome!

2- You can't really make breasts unless you want them to be very large. The Style isn't that good for making women men drool over, (yet capcom managed to do... *bricked*)

Who says a hot woman has to have large breasts all the time?

Well anyway, i'm definitely liking all of these poses. Even without shading they look spectacular; certainly something I wouldn't be able to do. Good job! :)

Nicktendonick

10-05-06, 00:21

@Strife- I ment Capcom are good at making women that men drool over, I didn't mean big breasts for that. Besides, I don't think hot girls have to have big breasts anyway

but without shading? huh?

@Rickysio: Thanks for confirmining it

and.......I know........I know I suck at shading....I already said that...

But first, let me say this. I am aweful at shading. Do not ask me how because I am horid on it.

Anyway, here's something I made with a character in a upcoming comic of mine

http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload4/N_v_SS.png

Rainbow Dash

10-05-06, 00:46

The one in bold is confirmed.
BTW, FYI, the shading on MMZ Zero sucks.

What was that, Rickysio? It wasn't blunt enough. Perhaps you could try harder next time?[/sarcasm]

Shading is like... baseball. You practice to get better. Make a place where the light's coming from, put the dark part of the color on the opposite side of each half section of your sprite heavily, and then some on the half it's coming from lightly. Do the same with another color, and another if neccesary. At least, that's how I do it. Where exactly to place your pixels is what defines your own style.

goshuntoku

10-05-06, 01:51

Ooh I really like the idea of Alpha :). Next we gotta make Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, etc. lol

Seriously though, I do like him, but I think in particular his classic version needs to look more original. Right now he looks too much like just a recolor of megaman. He is cool though. As you said, it was your first sprite, so I mean that is good for a first run and all.

Also, it would be cool to see an Alpha in X style.

mega rock.exe

10-05-06, 03:01

Those sprites are pretty damn good. I especially like the transformations. But I see in the "Ciel Super Fans" you use EXE mets when you should be using Zero mets. If you need that one, I'll post it for you. Then you can make MMZ styled Ciel Mets.

Nicktendonick

10-05-06, 05:29

well, I never made those mets, and the Alpha in classic style I've abandoned. I'm not doing anything on that. Maybe I will when if do Nick in MM7 style.

And thanks but no thanks for the Zero mets, I have them already

and X style Alpha...I'll think about that...

And thank you for the tip MetX.

Nicktendonick

25-05-06, 16:04

I got bored and started this. and after a friend's suggestion and help I was able to do a better version. She also noticed that the colors of Django are different between the Capcom version and the Konami vesion. I decided to use Konami's colors of Django in the wallpaper and Capcom's exe6 Django sprite as the color bases for this. below are those (And the wallpaper shrunk to show django).

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/Djangocrossnick1.png

Tell me, which looks better to you and why. I think the capcom version looks cooler.

Nicktendonick

10-08-06, 02:39

Damn....7 pages back? wow I haven't updated this thing in a while.

Anyway, got a lot of new stuff to show to you all.
----------

from a RP on another fourm, here's my character in it sprited. He's going to be someone who's going to get a ZX live model to him, eventually

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/TaiAmanisheet1.png

ZeroYagami (as she is called on Sheezy art) helped me out alot with this one. She made major fixed to the shading and helped me get down shading. Thanks Mei!

-------

A random comic I made, for Naruto Lovers and hates, I think you'll find this funny. http://www.sheezyart.com/view/795908/

----------

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Avatars/RMstyleNickwithstagcultery.png

Me in Rave master (Adventure Rave Groove I beleive in japan) style

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/Nicknewstyleandstagconversion.gif

Then I Reshaded the pants. AND! I was able to convert it to Zero style (At least, I think I did it right). just shrunk the Musica sprite my 10% on ms paint (90%, 90%). and I it worked.

Plus I'm using a red double saber too, which I really like alot.

----------

Me in a waiter costum with the shirt unbuttoned.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/waiterunbuttoned1.png

fanservice for all of you!

*Crickets chirp*

fine..I'll go on
----------

A Brand New Navi, Petra.exe! and animated!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Other%20comics/PetravsChampy.gif

-----

I also made a update to my sprite sheet, with that new style too.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/progress1.gif

--------

And this comic, which goes in line with new likeing to a Doujin Fighting Game/Anime called Melty Blood/Tsukihime, and that breeds this comic.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Other%20comics/nickinMB.png

Pheer my quickly made RMZ Shiki sprite!

----------

and my first heavy ZX edit

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/Anuconcept1.png

Her name's Anu Mana, and I have more, but haven't uploaded it
----------

and now...my most recent of works....

due to a recent and serious amount of angest, I vented it into on of my villian's sprites, and I think I got it done.

Plus, I made this little screencap.....in game style too!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Sigs/NvsAS.png
Nick sprite @ me
??? ? ???? Sprite @ Me
ZX style Meters edited @ me
Soul edge sprite @ Me and Bryan Hough
Evil energy Aura edited by me,
original evil aura @ Bonzai's 16 bit Zero sheet

(wow...that's alot of credits)

and something useful too....

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/outlinepanelGBAsize.png

it's the frame size for the gba screen. Basically, I made a barrier around the normal size, so you have something to copy off, or if you're working on a bigger Background (like MMBN overworld for example) you can paste this where, then copy everything but the black outline to get the exact size of the gameboy Advance screen.

I know it is soo damned old, but who cares?
MMZ has way small areas for me to shade. Irritates the Hoot outta me.

Anyway, not bad at all nick. Shading is still your major flaw though.

Nicktendonick

15-08-06, 00:13

Yea...I'll get over it when I start working on the sprites that I actually did 4 degree shading on.

Anyway

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Sprite%20sheets/nickSpritesheetversion16incomplete.png

new sprite sheet! finally! but...it's not complete, just wanted to show my progress.

It'd be nice to give me a heads up if you want to use it for a comic or something. If you want it for a base (using my sprites to make your own). You must get my permission first before you start.

as for those who are wondering why some of the credits dropped from before? simple. I stopped using what they gave me. I stoped using Surge's energy punch thing, and I stoped using Toe's elements sheets. Bonzai went in because he originally made the evil that aura I'm using. When the sheet is complete and I add all that back in, the credit will return.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Sprite%20sheets/AnoSsheet1.png

now for the other guy...who...is the model using of Model O's....shell...which I find much cooler then Ox. Anyway here it is. HP bars in black surrouding just to stop whites from clashing. and the evil aura here too.

This guy is NOT for anyone's use. If you want to use him in any way, shape, or form, You must have my approval.

Jace

15-08-06, 00:18

These are awesome. Do you mind If I use them for a base? I've been a little stuck with my characters. And I can finaly make Jace and Haizu from these. So do you mind if I use them?

Nicktendonick

03-09-06, 07:12

sorry for not replying earlier. I hope I'm not too late but sure. Meet me on AIM and I'll show you my most recent sheet and some other stuff you can use.

Anyway, more ZX stuff. I finally decided to jump into the ZX crazy and I got myself a live model. I debated over which model I should take, and I made a decision. Model Naplam(man)!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/modelnaplammanBeta.png
It's still in the making phase, so it's not done yet. C+C would be very very nice

(the ones that were in the running were model Spider, Gareth, Enker, Naplam, Tomahawk, burst, slash, Slur and harpuia).

I also started nick's wild attacks (the melee attacks when he goes crazy). First up is this. I have a feeling though I'm going to have to scratch this stuff.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/wildslash1.png

C+C?

GearDragon

03-09-06, 17:11

Noo! I was working on Napalmman Model! V_V Oh well, I'll still do it. Yours looks pretty good though.

Nicktendonick

04-09-06, 07:56

you're doing naplam man too? Dang, thought I was first.

Anyway, Updated a bit.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/ModelNprogress2.png

Made it look more like napalmman, added booblights, fixed the head cannon, changed the glove color, added a shooting pose and I also made my first version of the napalm bomb. Scratched by me.

Also made a avatar of it

And please don't quote the entire long post and especally my images

ok...big update time

My sprites, and the ZX flavor stuff. (yet incomplete too, just showing my progress)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Sprite%20sheets/NickspritesheetZX.png

Model Alpha, Model Naplam, and model Gate! Yet all the models aren't finished

Now here's Alpha. Also incomplete too (it's not a complete sheet)

To first page sprites-and some other.
The first few are just basic recolours/edits.
For the MMZ ones-you have (like stated) some shading problems. It also-at some points-looks very dissproportionate.
For the most recent one you've posted-the head looks to flat. The shirt looks like it's tucked into the pants-and the arm looks weird.
I'm sorry if you don't accept my C+C-but I think those are some major things you need to work on.

Ok

Thanks, I've been trying to work on that. I think though that my later sprites have less problems though with that, my earlier ones have much more problems with that.

For the most recent one you've posted-the head looks to flat.

really? Go on, and can you help explain how to fix it? I'm not sure if I understand why.

The shirt looks like it's tucked into the pants-and the arm looks weird.

yea, I'm working on that....

Thanks for the C+C. I do accept them

Anyway, a friend helped me with my model gate problem, and I hope it now looks better. He fixed the colors and the shoulder pads.

I was talking about model Omega (shell)
...Man It is terrible...
The shading isn't good.
You Took Copy as a Base that's terrible.
& the only special thing about it is that it has Omega's color...
Remake it.. with details..

*Ka-Done!*

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/AnoandmodelOmegashellconcept.png

Irony is I was working on him when you commented too. I'm much happier with this version. Also threw in the concepts with him (the two bottom swords are two that a friend made but I'm not sure if it works for the user)

Actually, Nick and model Gareth-Alpha was the base for it I took it and used it for that old model O(shell) base. Damn...I could have saved myself all that trouble back then. But Eh, like you said that version stunk anyway.

In the human form the hair needs some shading. You might want to look at some other official sprites to get the form and the shading right. I know it takes time but it's worth.

The shading in the pants doesn't look very good. Look at this (http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/848/pantsrh8.png) guy. it's not the same style but the basics are the same. You can even take a look at his shirt to help you fix yours.

In some other sprites the shoes don't have shading you might want to fix that too. The Model A looks too much like Model X but with other colors. Maybe edit a little more? I know you can because I see it in your model G and N. The shading in the model G's legs look weird. Maybe because both legs has only 3 shades. Add one shade to the leg on our left.

Model N looks pretty good but the perspective(Did I use the right word?) on the his shoulder pad its wrong. Look at Zero's Shoulder Pad or at some of X shoulder pads. They are a very good guidelines when you have problems with perspective(there it is that word again)

Overall I see some very good skills here, you just need to fix those problems and your sprites will be awesome! Keep the good work!

Thanks. About what you've said before, those are the areas which I lack the most. Hair and shading.

Anyway, got to make this quick. I've been wanting to make nick look a bit different. So I started messing with him. Thus are the stuff you see below. mostly. I've moved towards the magician look (or at least that is my intention). And I think I made a good alternate color too. (and the covered face ones were for fun and for a mysterious look)

Now, my fandom for Naruto too has also grown in the recent time. Which lead me to make the chunin/Jounin spriter version you see at the bottom.

I also looked up Kisame's character too. And I did that to the Model O(shell) user's appearance. I think (hope really) fish face would be proud of it.

So people. How do you think I did on them? which of these concepts do you like? which don't you like?

Damn, how long has it been? Anyway, I'm back from my holiday hiatus.

So let's kick this off!

New stuff, new style!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/Nickconcept1.png

Melty blood style. N.Shiki was the base. Personally, I think I got a double-edged sword. Shiki's outfit looks kinda similar (especally for this pose), thus is a easier base to convert. Yet, his poses I think is going to become a problem.*sigh*

(and thanks to Reaver/42ing for helping me with the color fix)

Anyway, when I finished that sprite, I then did this.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Fourm%20stuff/Sigs/MeltyNicksigb.png

I was going to have Sion call Nick a Coralian, but she hasn't gotten into
Nick's head (......yet). Maybe I'll do something more with this

Nicktendonick

15-01-07, 05:07

And now, more Tsukihime stuff!

I started spriting the cast of Tsukihime, and we begin with two. Shiki Tohno and Satsuki Yumizuka. (it is odd I didn't start with my favorite two characters, but...that's me for ya)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/satsukiconcept1.png
The spriter Chaz Dragoon did the hair and fixed the skirt. Thank you alot Chaz.

Well, I actually managed to do something once I got out of that bad slump I was in.

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5853/nickspritesheetzx96xk.png

Update to Nick. I updated his jacket (changed it to brown), and I added a few sprites (4 basic poses and one custom saber slash I think). Unforunatly for many of the older sprites, I've still been lazy in graphically updating them all. Yet for the newer poses, they should be in 4/5 shades as they should be.

I added a bit of a new section where I have some older stuff too. I do intend on expanding apon the weapon sprites and the Mage Nick sprite. Those you will be seeing more of.

As for the models, nothing new. haven't touched them.

Also, Light Illusion blade is the translated version of the kougenjin (and dark illusion blade is Angenjin). I decided to move to the english version.

Nick's magic (which I want to move towards original instead of PS photon magic) will come another time.

In case any of you are wondering why I'm not around, I lost my comp for a while. No ideal when I'm able to get it back, but luckly I can still manage to get a small bit of net access on another comp. Recently, I actually managed to get something done. Odd yes, but I'm not complaining.

I started working on a ZX style of Slur.exe and I got this way done sofar. So tell me, how's the hair? Which one do you think works the best for our Slur?

Yep. I'm reviving this thread. Finally. Finally. And let me start if off with a screenshot of something that may or may not ever come. Either way, it looks cool.

Although, I think i went overboard in it.

Xterra

06-05-08, 05:07

Um...cool...but you used Albert's throne, not my PD throne. ;_;

I'm just kidding. You don't have to use my throne, but it definitally will help you create a more unique and personal throne. If you want a personal throne. Otherwise, I see no problem with copying Albert's design.

As for you and the girl next to you. Well sprited and shaded. Good job.

Nicktendonick

06-05-08, 17:29

Thanks for the comment Xterra

Didn't even know you had a PD throne. *scratches head* I really need check the PD section, I haven't been there for ages. For the Girl, I think I'll keep her under wraps right now, as I'm not sure if that's going to be her final look. She's suppose to have either two forms, a young 12-13 young form, and then a more adult (Age guess, like 17-19) form. Either way, she's one of the projects I'm working on, to make a whole complete sheet for her.

Does she look like a kid? or does she look like any other character?

Xterra

06-05-08, 17:35

She looks like a very custom NPC young girl.

Drei

06-05-08, 21:31

The girl's dark blue clothes... Seem to not be shaded.

Zombiechao

07-05-08, 01:33

and her boobs. or rather (since she is a small girl) lack of boobs. Don't seem shaded right.

Nicktendonick

07-05-08, 05:16

and her boobs. or rather (since she is a small girl) lack of boobs. Don't seem shaded right.

Can't really do a girl sprite properly. I think I have a example of the best one I've done, give me a bit and I'll upload that

EDIT/Second post:

Instead of doing such, I took up all my sprited original fan characters; and put them together in one picture. And I decided, I might as well tell their universe of orgin as well...

I need to say this as well. from what you two were saying about the girl, I do have a name for her. My addorable creation, Luna Pentafrost. See her part in this for what I changed in her sprite

Save for the two in the bottom right corner, they're two Tsukihime characters. Type-moon deserves credit for creating them.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/Sprite%20sheets/characters2plusModelXduckandshoot.png

(going from left to right)

Anu - Original. The 2nd and 4th are the current concept for her. the second row is of older versions and the only mug I ever made of her.

Jenichi - Orign: Tsukihime. She's someone from Japan's demon hunter organizations. A cookie if one can guess who she's related to

Nyro - Orign: zero/exe/tsukihime. Originally created 4 years ago, while here design has stayed the same through them all, her as a character has changed greatly from when I made her; When I wipped up a Tsukihime story (and was developing her for a cancled fangame), I created the final version of Nyro.

Tasha- Orign: Zero. Created 4 years ago along with Nyro. The two are arch-enemies in their orign, but not it's not as intense anymore in later litterations with them (they're even friends in some). Roy Alvein helped me with this character and made the inital sprite; and the one I intend to sheet later is in the middle. I also have a familar to sprite for her which I really need to do as well.

Luna - Orign - original - Sprite wise, I tried to tune her up from what you guys were saying before. I tried again with the breats, and I darkened some of her colors and made others the same color (instead of being super close). did I do any better?

Nick - Orign - Real life The sprited version of myself, into the pixel world! You can see that he's come a long way, and has even taken life as not just "me, in sprite form" but another character with my name; mostly since he can so be a perfect generic-anime-stereotypical protagonist (usually) and it’s real easy for me to fall into using him when I can’t create a male lead character. I’ve done it 5 times already too... *hangs head in shame*

Tai- Orign: Boktai. Young and Naive, tai was one of the first of these characters of mine I made. A lovey spriter named Lana Cavelle helped me with making him. Haven't really touched him since

Alpha- Orign: Orignal / Megaman universe. If you want to see his first incarnation (which is the first sprite I've done), go to the first page. he's come along way since I first made him years ago. Also, I also gave him a actual name too now, Uno Macrobyte.
"The Random Man" (not Sian Random man known as here) helped me with creating his abilities/weapons and later designs

Beta- Orign: Megaman ZX (Created initally for a RP, but taken a life apon his own). And as you would guess he's related to Alpha somehow, many times as a younger brother. He's also gota real name too, Dos Macrobyte. See the pattern?

Corruption and Mr. Anonymous...- Orign: Original Mr. Anay...anal...anonymi...screw it I'm calling him Ano.
Ano and Corruption are two dark side characters in the stories they appear in. While unrelated, they fit well very good together. Ano was ment to be the darkside of Nick; but Ano is no longer as such and taken his life as his own character.
Corruption on the other hand is pratically demon Nick; or what happens when Nick megamerges with two of those Model Ws we hear so much about.

Now the last three.

As I said before, Satsuki and Shiki are from the Ero Visual Novel game Tsukihime, published by Type-Moon in 2000. you should hear from them again, as a full-scale remake has been announced for the game.
(as for news of the original, and for shameless promoting, the group "Mirror Moon" translated the game into english if one has CD / ISO /you know. To use a simple to installer to install a regular english version, or a version with the Ero-scenes all removed.)

for the ZX sprites themselves, I made Shiki all by myself, and Chaz Dragoon helped me with Satsuki (he did much of the skirt and the hair, my weaknesses)

And at the bottom, if you've actually read all this that I wrote, here's something that you can add. I did a little PD expansion of model X, with model X ducking and firing, I beleive I did it good enough to actually be animated. Just follow left to right I think.

What ya all think?

Most of them are pillow-shaded, and lacking contrast. But I like the designs.

As for Luna, I know how you could fix her. It's her dress that appears so flat. If you look to official NPCs, see how the dresses are shaded, and try the same. And also maybe look for an official dark-blue palette as well.

That should help her immensely.

Ok. I'll do that when I get back to her. *puts it off for later*

But I must say, I really liked the PD crouching sprites for ModelX. Those are pretty good. And my favorite of all was SatsukiZx. She's shaded really well.

And as well as being accurate to the original design, I love her hair style!

Shiki's not as good, but I really like how you did Satsuki. Well done.

well, Chaz Dragoon should take the credit for that one. He did the Hair and the Skirt; which was the real challenge of that sprite. Next time I see him I'll pass that on to him.

As for Shiki, I did that one a longer time before (before I really got into the series). I need to try that one again. For model X, thanks; It could use a touchup though on the lighted frame for firing, I didn't go as in depth as the offical sprite does.

I went for trying to do more spriting for Anu, and I actually finished her guns. The Niberu.

that side from firing the regular bullets, The (attempted) spike on the bottom of the gun is suppose to be ment for a hookshot like function
(To be used to get to new areas, hookshot foes to drag them to you to beat them up more, or things like swings hookshot-ed things and throw; things like that.)

Anyway Rags, this is those sprites I was talking about before in flashchat.

Nicktendonick

26-05-08, 05:39

I finally, finally made a scratch sprite. Kinda

I used Sasuke from Jump Superstars, followed with some resizing I got a pose, then scratched it. Maybe it's that the drawing 1 class I'm taking in college might be paying off.

Anyway, What do you all think? C+C please

Hunter_Fusion

26-05-08, 05:54

Koolz! You should make it Falcon Punch :D
Naw i'm kidden. Its pretty good.

Nicktendonick

26-05-08, 06:29

Thank you Fusion. Nice to see you here.

---------

My next challenge is now...to perfect it. From what you guys said in flashchat

[Terry von Feledae] 12:45 am: Nick, your sprite needs a more contrasting palette. Also, do you know what pillow shading is?

[Mathis] 12:46 am: no dark lines inside the jacket, atleast not the first darkest

and also when I looked at that tutorial you linked me to that's here, I think I tried again and now I got this.

Jessy

26-05-08, 06:35

umm...

LEARN HOW TO FXCKING SHADE!!!

ok... now I got that out of my system.

These sprites are made very poorly, the most decent ones are the recolors.
And also, all of you guys are saying these are good, all I have to say is WTF?
These sprites are terrible, and unlike everyone else here in this thread I will give you some advice, read some spriting tutoials, especially the ones on spriting, hope those will help.

Drei

26-05-08, 15:49

Yes, just telling him to go somewhere else for help is definately great advice, when many have already pointed out obvious flaws.

Okay, you've pillow-shaded, have low contrast, and should use palletes from the games, or use one as a refrence for custom colours. The shoes are diffrent shaped, as in two diffrent kinds of shoes. The punching arm is shaded as if their is muscle, but the sleeve isn't skin-tight.

So, find a better pallete, and then fix the shading according to the style, but use refrences.

Nicktendonick

27-05-08, 02:23

Jessy- Let me say something I said before.
let me say this. I am aweful at shading...I am horid on it. I know I suck at shading, I know. Anyway, what you're saying about my old sprites doesn't really help me much now, I've learned from the mistakes I made on those. mostly. And I am looking at the tutorials, as you mentioned

-----------------------------------

I tried some gold from Model W Albert, and the bad pallete of model O, with a little altering of the final color on the one above, but not the one in the box.
I might have used some other ones in the process for the other ones, my memory is a little shotty on me. Anyway. Here it is. The red box-ed one is the new one, while the others are the original, other attempts, and what the original reference for this sprite, the sasuke JUS's punch. I tried modifying the shading to what Sasuke's was

EDIT 2: Took some more advice, Take three is the result, in the double red box

Nicktendonick

30-05-08, 21:37

Colors and stuff take 4. I split it into two different types. Left is darker, right is kinda lighter. middle pallete is the pants

And for everyone who's telling me it's pillow shading...please. how do I change that? Apperently, I'm not getting it and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Nicktendonick

01-06-08, 01:10

Ok, now Take 5 on the sprite.....

Terry von Feledae

01-06-08, 02:13

Alright, I wasn't able to give you hints on how to improve with words, so I'll do it with pictures.
13167
I made a small reshade of your sprite, trying to fix all things I consider errors. It's not perfect, but I hope it can give you a general idea on how to improve your sprite.

Zomaxiee

01-06-08, 02:19

I must say, your's do look better Terry.. Nick, keep Terry's.

Nicktendonick

01-06-08, 02:57

Actually, he did have permission. Any of you guys are free to edit my stuff, especally for situations like this where I can't get it.

And Terry, this is alot better then what I had. It really will be helpful for quite for time.

And you fixed my shoes. Awesome. *gets to work*

And also just to say Terry, the sword wasn't just random, it was this weapon. The magic sword from the game Phantasy Star Online (and one of my favorites), the Elysion (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=195&sortby=name). None the less, those colors should help me remake the sword (which technically now is the oldest part of the "Nick" sprite.

---------------

EDIT: And work I did. I took a shot at how you did your shading with that scratch punch sprite of mine.

You can see Terry's version outside of the box, and my version inside the box.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/Nicktendonick/concept%20sprites/colortake6.png

I think I might be ready to start the sheet now...

Nicktendonick

27-11-08, 02:31

Took long huh?
Yep. Anyway, as much as I like to, bitching about my updating habits won't do anyone any good. *goes to subject*

--------------------------------------

I used Terry's version of Nick, and I went for a color change. Mimized the red and blue from Terry's colors and used those. The Comp I'm working on has much darker tone, so light appears darker (which making doing this much more annoying). So I went the technical approach into doing it. I'm not sure if it'll look good, but I wasn't sure about how to go around making a blasted dark green color, so I went the route below. I also darkned the jacket and hair by one shade, via the same method.

C+C?

Nicktendonick

07-02-09, 05:15

This thread over 2 years and still kicking appearently. I think I have a pretty dang old thread here.

Anyway quick pop in to SI tonight for almost-up-date-ish update on something compeltely different

Talking to someone about a crackpot idea, I tried to start a scratch sprite in tales style. Probably be nick to some reguard. I settled on using the Mr. Driller Cosplay because of the simplitices of it (instead of a full figure in a akward pose or have clothes to deal with. Driller costume lacks that)

[/anode]
Anyway, the original intention is to....*wait for it*
Have characters like Model ZX Aile, Shippuden Naruto, and KH2 Sora + Riku all in the same sprite style, and all look decent. Friend suggested Tales of the world style, so I knocked with that and got the wireframe below.

BTW-If anyone else has other suggestions for a universal style, I'm all ears for a style that would work.

Nicktendonick

17-03-09, 08:01

Third time's the charm! (I hope).

Anyway, I was working on a OC I'm making. A ninja girl named Mizuki (no relation to naruto. K?)

this isn't exactly ment to be a finely done sprite. But done more so to give me a idea what she's ment to actually look like. As a matter of fact, I made the sprite off Anu's (which is why she's on the top there, too lazy to edit).

Anyway, here's what I've done. I'd say I think I'm good with this character design...

-short pink hair
-blue eyes
-light undershirt.
-Pink vest that goes to her forarms, with a ring connecting both sides of the vest; around her chest
-connected around the middle of the chest with a ring
-Below average breast size (maybe? opinions?)

hmmm.....C+C?

Jace

17-03-09, 08:15

Well, it's not bad but it definitely needs alot of work. The shading is horrendus, if you can fix that then it'll look a hell of alot better.
