Sprite request for Nostalgia
« on: June 08, 2010, 05:07:49 pm »
For my Axe Parser contest entry, Nostalgia, I need some help with sprites. I can get enemy sprites and tiles without a problem, but I can't make character sprites well.
What I need:
Male Thief sprite - Monochrome 12x8
Female Knight sprite - Monochrome 12x8
Facing in 4 directions

Also, I would like some help with battle sprites for the same characters, but the size would be 24x16 instead.
Possible poses:
Standby
Getting Hit
Swinging Sword
Casting Spell
Using Item
Status Effect Inflicted
Weakened (Low HP)
Victory Pose

For reference, here are the character portraits, and some stuff I whipped up in Charas for ideas.




Main characters' sprites are done.

Thank you in advance and the spriters whose sprites I use will be put in the game's credits.

Credits:
Aria Map Sprites: Magic Banana and Deep Thought
Aria small portrait: Magic Banana
Aria battle sprites: Magic Banana and Raylin
Roland Map Sprites: Nemo and yunhua98
Roland small portrait: yunhua98
Roland battle sprites: yunhua98 and Raylin

I'll do it, but does anyone know a good sprite editor?

I use Photofiltre Studio but that's not free. That's like a stripped down version of Photoshop, but more user-friendly (altough not as much as the Mac OS version of Photoshop).

I think the original Photofiltre, that lacked layers but was still free might be available somewhere, but I'm not sure anymore.

Is Paint.NET any good for Pixel Art?

Paint.NET is fair for Pixel Art.  I does let you get a good zoom on the sprite, but I still prefer to use MS Paint.

MS Paint corrupts my colors. I start with black and white pixels, but when I save it, some areas get smudged together (ironically, Paint doesn't even support smear). Maybe it's because I'm using Vista. (Or maybe I should stop saving as .png)

Anyway, this is Magic Banana's submission, with a small edit:

Sorry, Paint corrupted the file (again). At least this time the small image is still fine.

I don't think Paint saves files the right way all the time. With gif files, even if you have under 256 colors some colors will get all funky. If you check my OMnicalc GS tutorial on Omni or ticalc, you'll notice one of the pic has a pink-ish color because of this. JPG has horrible compression. It's best to only use bmp when using paint then use a converter

btw Nice Magic Banana.

I usually just use Fireworks 8 for basic image editing/creating. I have Photoshop CS4 as well, but it's really too much when just doing basic things to images. Plus, Fireworks does a pretty good job at saving it to all the common filetypes, along with some goodies like alpha transparencies or web adaptive colors. It is also pretty easy to edit animated gifs with it.

I've never had an issue with the later versions of MS Paint (XP, Windows 7), but I don't know about Paint on Vista... Vista fails on so many levels it wouldn't surprise me if the paint they included with it was screwed up too. D:

Those look pretty good!
So, I'll give you guys credit in the first post, so I can keep track of everything easily.

these are pretty lame thief sprites, but my logic was they kinda look like they're running away/sneaking up on something.

edit: and now that i look at them again, they look kind of dirty too  :-\

Here's Roland facing away, not the best sprite, but it looks kinda right...

UPDATE:
Sorry, they don't look as good in paint, I suck with MSPaint
Calc pic attached.
You might want to use nemo's for side though...
I made the pixels aligned now, thanks DJ, any way I did it by savng 8xi as BMP and resized it.
All of them:
