View Full Version : Strife's Sprites

I must admit, there are some really nice custom sprites here. You guys have a lot of talent, and I hope that I can improve my spriting skills as well.

Soooo, I guess i'll show some of my sprite work here. :) Typically, I don't work from premade sprites (Mega Man and such). I take pride in being 90-100% original. ^^

None of the sprite sheets in this topic are public domain (i.e. you can't use them) unless stated otherwise by me.

Here's a sheet from my earlier days, when I always gave my sprites black outlines (I posted this on the old Cosmic Gaga forum). Once, I had attempted to make an action platform game similar to Ratchet and Clank. Eventually, I gave up on it, but I did manage to design and code over 40 weapons, each with their own unique function and attack.

The yellow guy in the bottom-right corner was intended to be the main character. I used the Mega Man X1 sprite as a guide for some of the poses, though I did not use any MM sprites as a base.

Now, let's fast forward to my present-day spriting style. I've done away with the black outlines in favor of a smoother style.

I have some experience with modding, specifically for the classic first-person shooter Doom, and more notably, a cereal box game that uses the exact same engine called Chex Quest. Anyway, I designed some custom enemies and sprites for my Chex Quest mod...

These are probably some of my best works. Typically my shading isn't that heavy, but in this case, I wanted my custom sprites to look good with the rest of the game's graphics.

Well anyway, i'll update this topic with new sprites as I develop them. Comments are most certainly welcome. ^^

Very nicely done. And yes, that is a crapload of weapons.

Thanks everyone! ^_^

Maybe sometime, i'll find a use for all those weapon sprites. I could fix them up and use them in my current computer game project. It's an action platformer called Tath that combines shoot-em-up action (like Mega Man) with a huge number of worlds, levels, and secrets (like Super Mario Bros). It's looking really nice and I do hope I stick with it to the end this time. :g-drop:

Well anyway, below is another sprite sheet of the main character in Tath... Though I haven't exactly decided on a name for her yet. The graphics in this game are rather colourful, but not quite kiddy.

I used the sprite of Rouge the Bat from Sonic Battle as a reference to some of this character's poses, but they are modified heavily enough to be unique. She has a handful of interesting moves, including dashes, backflips, spinning double-jumps, and a weapon called the Leech Device that copies almost any enemy's weapon.

I've got another sheet for this little sprite thread of mine:

This one's a work in progress. Though i'm having trouble coming up with a running animation for the non-mech Grunt. Running animations are usually the hardest to do for me, especially for sprites like this that are created from scratch (hence I cannot use professional sprites as guides). Hopefully i'll come up with something though.

These are really sweet sprites. Good to see sprites that aren't always Megaman related. ;)

Thanks muchly. ^^ As for the girl, would anyone happen to have any ideas for a name? The best I can come up with is Roxy. (Rox = Rock = Rockman :s)

Really, really good. As for a name, you could go with my philophy: "When in doubt, go with Jim." It applies to everything.

Creame? I dunno, Roxy sounds pretty good...

Cream is a rabbit character from Sonic Advance 2. ;) Well... I reckon I don't need to worry about the name right now; I have until the game's release to decide (which is a long, long way away). For reference purposes though, i'll go with Roxy.

Roxy? Sounds like Roxas. But whatever. Nice spriting. Lotsa poses makes the gods happy. The aliens are really good. The alien armor thing is friggin bad.

Well, it's been a long while, but i'm back from the dead. Life's been keeping me busy these past few months, but in the meantime, i've been working on some very ambitious game projects. This have given me plenty of opportunities to go spriting, so I should be able to show some more stuff. ^_^

Animated sprite of Jane, one of the characters in ACE_Spark's Cosmic Hero webcomic. I had made this sprite quite a while ago, but I decided to update it with shading.

A grunt enemy from Quantum Chex, a first-person shooter of mine that uses the Doom engine as a base. The game itself is more oriented towards kids, and the enemies resemble unhealthy "junk food". This guy happens to resemble a shaker of salt.

This image shows what the Salt Soldier looks like in the game.

Two more enemies from Quantum Chex: The Pepper Trooper and the Glutton (who's supposed to resemble some kind of mutated hamburger).

those are some really nice sprites, one thing, if you're still looking for a name for the girl try this ones: Leena, Amber (don't ask :P) or Zira (once again, don't ask)

Strife

Thanks!

I'm not searching for a name at the moment... Leena sounds rather nice though. ^^
