http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1519&PN=%201 - A more indepth description of the world

I want to see underwater sprites. Think of those levels from classic mario games.

swordfish, squid, mantaray, fish in general.

Boss character is a mobster-type Shark. I'm thinking a pin-striped suit and a gat as a weapon. I'd like to see some reference to his characters made into himself. Basically, I am keeping the descriptions fairly basic so as to get a good amount of interpretations from everyone.

Keep your colours simple so we can easily edit. Animations will be required.

Anything else I should mention? Post it here.

Howabout rocks (along the current) or living coral that fly at you as you go along. A bit like the living pots in zelda that shoot at you if you get too close... kinda.

I like d-p's effort to keep things computery/pixelly. Nice work, although I think the graphics should be a lot cleaner, otherwise theyll be a bitch to animate convingly.

I completely agree. It'd be great and easier to keep this kind of cartoony. I mean, look at PJ himself and how he is coloured. Take that as a reference

@Everybody:

THIS IS A COMMUNITY PROJECT WE WANT ART FROM EVERYBODY!!

the "official guys" are jus here to control/manage things and make
the final decisions on the input, however all contributions will be
credited and nothing will be overlooked even if it is not included in
the final product.

...so larwick make as many sprites as you want :D

I'll quote that...

I tried to make a backgroud fish, but it could also be a small, almost harmless, point-upping enemy. It didn't turn out as i'd have hoped, i make have another crack at it when it's not 2:15am....eheh.

Ok then, try and dis this little fellow:

 

I'm very pleased with myself. There could be other fish similar to the puffer before it expands, and therefore would surprise the player on the first encounter.

---------------------------

I was bored so here are some more lame FISHIES.

 <- fish disguised as a puffer fish.

 <- general orange fish.

 <- a cool fish with a mohawk!

 <- puffer fish before expansion.

larwick, that would be cool if it exploded when it hits pj. im loving all
this fishy goodness, how about some squids and octopi, and
obviously sharks.

EDIT:
PB also suggested having a mob/gansta mafia theme to this level,
how about giving these fishes tommy guns and fedoras and spats.
perhaps pinstripes can be the main color of the fish.

ps im loving all the input, the more we have to chose from the better!

I was thinking of making a full-on bomb fish. Basically, a glossy black one without spikes. A mafia-style fish (or whatever >.<) could throw it, or let it out of a cage.

Yeah, so here's the new bomb fish:

I'm working on an explosion animation now.

I made lines for something awhile ago that might work if I could get it into a more platformer view.

Might not fit in though. I'll try to get a different view and color it and see if it fits in with the rest of the sprites.

Edit: I just noticed that this is also really wide, I'll try to fix that.

Also, how did my avatar get like that? I don't remember doing anything to make it that... Does everyone else see a smiley face with a cowboy hat, or is it just my computer?

Edit 2: I have started this spear-weilding merthing, but am a little stuck on the shading.

The first one could be turned into something quite good, but the second wouldn't fare well i dont think, as jalonso said it's too small and doesnt have black lines (would that be a rule/guide now?). Anyway, nice sprite though.

You maybe gave the wrong impression Saiklor. You say you are a newcomer to spritework, but you are certainly a talented artist as evidenced by your gallery. So you strictly mean you are a newcomer to game sprite art?

I like your fish a lot. I have a few comments.
My comment for your fish: AA on the outside is usually a big no-no unless the renderer for the game is using something like OpenGL (which can't be guaranteed). Similarly, the glow of the fish assumes a blue background. You have to consider if the background changes, will the glow still look good? It might, but it was made for blue. The last comment is rather minor. The thick outline style may not fit with the other sprites.

But man, that glow is darn awesome Saiklor.


Posted By: Larwick
Date Posted: 04 March 2006 at 4:42am

There should be a dark area under the sea, then that could be one of the enemies there. Nice style aswel Saiklor, although it would be a bohotch to animate. At least, it would for me anyway.

And yup Shadow Wolf, you're right. I'll do some more work on it.

Date Posted: 04 March 2006 at 12:20pm
yes, I am a newcomer to sprite art, but not art in general. I never played all the games you guys talk about (I never had any systems other than computers and gameboys thus my childhood was spent on dial-up text only computer games back in the late 80's/early 90's and then a lot of commander keen and a few others). I've never really drawn small because I don't see the point of it, but if it's for a game I guess it makes sense.

Anyways :-) enough about me...

so how do you animate?
I mean, are there programs and stuff you can download for free?
I could try and fix it and animate it  if someone would point me the right away (maybe it'd be easier for me since it's my kind of style and I'm used to working with it?)

anyways here he is without any outer AAing (whoops) and with the glow removed

and, do I HAVE to make the style match the others or is this an open call for various different looking sprites? I mean change mine to the one-pixel outline and flat/cell shading and whatever else I failed at?

If you could match the style, it would help keep the game consistent and be easier to animate.

I use http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/ - UnFreez to animate; all you have to do is drag the frames into the box in order.

d-p

I like the machine gun wielding octopus idea. Could definitely use him though with some cleaned up lines and colours.

Shark

Umm... that's one mutated shark, Shark. and... no

Larwick

  

Exploding fish bomb rocks my socks off. Perfectly coloured and animated I think everyone agrees. The little fishies are great to and could add to the background atmosphere. Good job. Make more

Monkey o Doom

Animated sunfish could use some animation makeover but is good otherwise. The seahorse barely looks like a seahorse... could be of use without the gun as well. Again, great for background atmosphere.

Wannahlakujuu

I think the style of dimensions of the game were lost on you

Saiklor

I think this also doesn't reflect the style and atmosphere of the game though they are well done

We need to get some more focus on the larger enemies and boss characters. Let's see what you've got gang

  1. A mini (baby) octupus! Inspired by Pac-man. Swimms around looking harmless.... Until it tryes to eat your head!!!
  2. Scarface - a standart octopus. Needs a hat and some better tentacles.
  3. Scarface's tommy gun and some tentacles for the sprite.
  4. Fishes- A piefish, a lurker and a starfish. The starfish might be trowable or a pick-up.

InfernoMan, i think yours look fine. Could easily become background fishies, if you can't, i'm sure someone else will animate/edit them.

I don't know if this project is even going on anymore but I have a sprite to show. It's the boss shark guy. I think I am pleased with it but I'm pretty sure I have lost the "style" you guys have used. He is supposed to be holding a gun but I don't know if I'm good enough to even attempt that :|

I just need to remark that the PJ guy should wear some kind of aqua suit (pipe and glasses?). And that Larwicks exploding fish explosion should be more waterized...

Yeah, i'll get onto totally revamping that when i get the time. I've learnt alot since i made it which should contribute well.

Lol, sorry rabidbaboy, didn't notice it before >.<

I think the turtle, with a bit of work to fit the style more, would be a very nice addition. However i think the fish has a few problems, like the jagged structure which would be hard to animate... etc. And i don't think it could fit the style as well.. if any of that helps, then hurrah!

Turtle just need some dark outlines and a bit contrast, thats it.
 
Edit:
 
Ok, I tried to fix it. Hope you didn't mind. I am still not quite happy with the higlight, i tried to make it underwater but..
 
I tried to animate it also, but my animating skills are not the best. Someone should turn that into a gif to see how it looks.
 
And I added two fish concepts too...

I don't know if it's quite in style.
If it's not, tell me how to fix it, please, thanks.:)

Stonefish. Could look like normal stones, but when touched, PJ gets poisoned, or gets some damage.
Bottom sprites are the swimming sprites.

"baboy" is Filipino for "pig"

rabidbaboy>> I wouldn't take the lack of feedback onto your sprites but due to some kind of summer break phenomenon or something. It could be more active here I think...
the sprite>> The colors aren't sexy enough I think. Some hue variations can do wonders. Since the eye is the most important aspect of this sprite I would underline it with some contrast to the rest (in brightness and maybe saturation) so that they nearly glow.

I think it fits the style well, might have to be edited to look like the actual stones in the level, or the stones edited to look like this etc..
