Well, i was wondering, is it possible to shade a small sprite like this so it looks like a 3-d render?
Heres the sprite, go nuts!
 Note: As most of you already know, i know im new here, but i hope to become alot more active, so dont let my join date and number of posts turn you off!
Also an example of that is like the new mario sprites

I dont really understand what you're meaning by this. -------------

If by 'the new mario sprites' you mean the ones in Mario vs. Donkey Kong or New Super Mario Bros... they look like 3D renders because they are. Manual pixel-by-pixel shading really wouldn't look all that different from the calculated shading that 3D renderers do. A 3D render would only have more colours and possibly be a bit more accurate, but at this size it really wouldn't matter. ------------- |

Hmm.. i see.
Than can anyone give it some depth, or some more intense lights and darks?

Why not try to do it yourself? No offense, but this really doesn't look like a real collaboration to me. More like something you want for yourself. You can post this in the WIP forum (or I can move this thread there if you'd like). There are plenty of people willing to help you get the result you want. ------------- |
