working on a sprite: yeah thats right, generic thief. @ Randomboy I made you and edit on your piece  First off, the skin color is too yellow. add some red into it to make it look more natural. I would give the head a couple of pixels of more height, he's hugging the his shoulders pretty bad right now. For the jacket, I noticed your saturation was completely gray. I never like to use completely desaturated colors, I find them to be a bit boring. The light from the fire sword would reflect off of the jacket, making it appear more red. Take a look at my edit for other parts I changed. Good luck! |

Nevercreature asked about a sparring partner...
Here's what came up to my mind (i'm not used to fight you see)...
 @randomboy: it's simple but already very good!
Maybe in a fight the armswouldn't be that straight?
The hilt of the knife has flames too? Black maybe?

@ Philip I made a quick color edit for you Your colors were a bit washed out, as your shades went darker, the saturation decreased. Usually you should increase your saturation as you get further away from the central color(like the middle color) I'm not sure if that was a stylistic choice or something, I just thought I might be able to help. |

@ randomboy2007: You sure you want to be worrying about color right now? You still have quite some shading to do.
By the way, both are fine. |

Fixed some banding problems, improved the japanese symbol and added some details here and there. Now I look more badass!Final version: My katana and I are ready for this challenge...

@Sergiotron I like it a lot, but IMHO the katana could use some AA... I actually also loved the 1-bit version (would look nice in a B/W game). |

Well, this is my first WIP. I think it is not bad at all... |

@Vegard, thanks for the advice. I think it looks better with AA :)

WIP. I only spent time on 2 frames and looped it for effect. I think it's 5 frames atm. Gimme some C&C if you feel up to it. If I can get a good idle animation I'll submit it thusly, otherwise I'll submit a refined, intitial, static png. EDIT: Oh, hey, it DOESN'T ANIMATE when I post it to image shack. Well sh*t. |

Yeah, but Sergio, which is better: Katana or Paintbrush?
It would be cool if all our entries fit the exact same dimensions. Then we could form a visual tournament bracket... |

Here's an update: I'm thinking to animate the glare and drops. @Mierdinsky, la animación tiene 16 frames. Para averiguar esto debes darle click derecho a la imagen que quieres analizar y en propiedades copias la Dirección (URL) y la pegas en el cuadro de texto en este sitio: http://hivemind.in/pj/specs/ - http://hivemind.in/pj/specs/ y le das click al botón "check". Es muy útil! @Nevercreature, that's a really funny animation! I love his face when he punches fast!

Originally posted by MIERDINSKY Originally posted by ultimaodin Just a wip.

As is it would be hard to block a punch to the face. ------------- The world is but a shadow of emotion, cast in shades of grey. |

Oh my it looks so fluid! It's easy for me to forget about keeping it simple at first for animating then adding details...I get carried away with the details early on and then it turns into frustration once I start animating.

| @ fay: You're right. I get caught up in the same thing. Thankfully, I didn't put too much detail in before starting this. Nice work, ultimaodin. |

| Nice stuff, but the challenge is to create just a fighter sprite based on yourself - Nothing more. |
Posted By: ultimaodin
Date Posted: 08 March 2012 at 2:28am
Ok guys I just found out my dental work will cost me a whopping $12,000 in total so my creativity just got smashed down with that. So here is the first frame in case I don't finish the entire animation. I'll probably remove the sellout though as it looks bad on dark backgrounds. @fay - I should mention that it has taken many failures fr me to learn to block out the basic for animation. Many failures. ------------- The world is but a shadow of emotion, cast in shades of grey. |

It might be too late, but see if you can't add some recoil action to the rest of the body when he shoots. He seems to rigid and unnatural. I like the concept, though.

| less dithering. the outline is thick where it bends. more contrast overall, especially in skintones. |
Posted By: eclep
Date Posted: 09 March 2012 at 6:30am
Update :
Added a bit of recoil, but not too much since it's still a fake gun :) |

No body recoil made it look funnier. Still love the idea :)

Nah, it's just that the physics are off.
The recoil should be centered more around the shoulder joint, and then translate to the torso and legs. However, by the time the ripple of the recoil reaches the legs, it should be greatly dissipated. Nice try, though. I still like the added recoil. |
Posted By: eclep
Date Posted: 09 March 2012 at 3:12pm

Thanks for the replies, I agree there is something off here
But as I said it's not a real gun, so logically there should be no real recoil. I mimicked the movement a dozen times and I moved quite like what I have pixelled here. But the movement of the hair suggests that there is a real recoil.. I think I will have to chose between an overall real recoil (by fixing the recoil on the body) and a fake one (by removing the movement of the hair) The first option would be more impressive I guess |

 My idea was to make something like a The King of Fighters character, but they are a bit taller than the restrictions. So I make the body smaller, maintaining the head size. I think it looks somewhat ok =) But I need some tips: - About the body proportions (except for the head). Do they look correct? - I am struggling with the shirt, I can't make it look right =( Also, I dont know how to make cloth fold correctly Any ideas? EDIT: I think the shirt is looking OK now... EDIT2: fixed the legs... I think. |

 Pose based on a relatively unknown piece a guy named Michelangelo painted some years ago.

Think I'll just let this fella go peacefully in obscurity. *Yes, all his body parts are meant to do exactly what they are doing. Why? Because he is filled to the brim with too much awesome-sauce... |
