Those projects were abandonned, and those weren't the most up-to-date pics...

I might have other things that I did somewhere on the hard drive... I'll guess I'll go and look for them.

That would be great...I took a look at your work, and it's EXCELLENT, but now I'm curious as to what you can do with bigger sprites.

If you can't find anything, I have couple of tests.  You can pick which one you want to do, but since each one corresponds to a different sprite-designing position in S.A.D., I would encourage you to try both.

1. Draw a 16 x 16 sprite of an erupting volcano
2. Draw a 24 high by 16 wide sprite of a man in a military outfit holding a mug.

Silver Shadow, in ASM, sprite width have to be multiple of 8 pixels. It's because 8 pixels width is one byte of graphics data. You can't have graphic data of 1.5 byte. A special sprite routine to work with 12x12 sprites would need to be written.

This is why Sam Heald's Zelda: Test Of Courage Demo runs at such low framerate compared to Spencer's Zelda

Cooliojazz, I've attached the space tiles we used to create the test map.  Please feel free to use them to test the map editor.

I'm not very good at drawing large character sprites, so I only did the volcano.

Okay, here's the plan.  I can put you on tilesets for as long as you want, and then somebody else can take over when you decide you don't want to do them anymore.  They need to be isometric, so if you don't want the job, that's fine.  But then in that case, I don't have any other sprite jobs available.

Let me know what you think

This looks nice, I wonder if the bottom edges could be rounded a little so it looks a bit more 3D-ish?

Well, I'm not really skilled with isometric sprites, so I guess I won't participate. However, if you need me for something else later, know that I'm always ready to help.

It's a really nice volcano, though.

I'd like to help, but I'm bad a spriting. :(

Well, I thought that if you didn't need any sprite makers, I might be useful elsewhere, as a beta tester or with anything that could be done on-calc without knowing asm.
