hello all.this may be may second post on the forum and so, I will share some of my works.I've already advanced on my sprite now, but I will post my step by step so far. I just wanna share my works let's dig in...this is how I start to work out a sprite. or somehow... I love the graphic aspect of blazblue and I want to do something in that style. i'm using Paint tool sai, photoshop and graphic gale to work. since i'm kinda starting, i'm just using fully the SAI. when comes to color, i'm using photoshop. i may try to do some work with GALE for animations. (omg.. I'm seeing jupiter's right calf and looks horrible! :X ) this is how I'm coloring the sprite line. well, that's all for now. please drop me a comment or suggestion. thanks
Any chance you'd like to work on arcade style?As for her move sets for her basic moves I suggest looking up some of Tia's sprites from Breakers Revenge, a few from Vanessa of KOF and some of Rainbow Mika's throws/slams.
hi rgveda! I didn't understand about of "arcade style"what did you mean?as for moveset. yes! this may help me to a lot! thank you so much. do you have a sprite sheet for mika and vanessa? as for the process now, i've added another sprite for test. just to compare.the outline on the left sprite was grey, but it was a mistake. i'm making it darker later. so.. if anyone can see the sprite base, let me know
Unfortunately I don't have Vanessa or R. Mika's sprites.I'm referring to this style when I mentioned arcade style.
ah, I understand now. I planned to work on a style similar as blazblue size and details. since the sprites are bigger, they're easier to animate and add detail, specially in the face.I love kof and snk style, but that style of spriting is sooooo small that I don't have patience to do that. that's why I like arc sys sprite style. even the kof 12 and 13 are a bit smaller than blazblue, but the details are so great. I may think that that style is easy for me..that's why I'm working on that way.
I just zoom in and zoom out most of the time just using Paint. I noticed there's a pattern to how the pixels are arranged. But it does take a lot of patience. I am glad you are trying something different. My only advice is you don't quit and be open to feedback whether good or bad as many sailor spriters gave up already.Is Jupiter the only character you'll be working on or all the sailors?Also, are you the one who sprited this?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4KSCIAzRus
advice taken. I will continue until something inside me is broken hahaI always open to any feedback, even the bad one make you wanna work harder, IMO.to tell you the truth, I wanted to do some sailor moon fighting, but the lack of story to make, is a bit a drawback. I will work on this jupiter and see if I can work on another, and another.and, that sailor moon on the youtube link, wasn't me. but it looks awesome. I will take some ideas from that video i'm painting the outline...
just as we exchanged post, I was speedworking on the sailor moon with the green background that you passed me.this is a speed work trying to get a grasp of that resized spritedone without thinking. haha.please bear in mind the proportions are not mine and somehow, resized, looks kinda crappy.just flat colors at the moment...
so.. no new replies from anyone. so sad..haha, just kidding.. i'm still working on the spritesmy last post was some speed sprite based on some really small sprite to my likeness.so I resized to a blazblue size type.but, I will work on that sprite later.let's continue with sailor jupiter.this is some added colorlater I will show some shading
Just curious. Why draw her super form and not the original?Also if you're going with her super costume her brooch should be in a shape of a heart, her choker should have a star, and you're missing her rose earrings.

I will think about changing the super version details. what do you suggest? which version do you think I should do?Alex Sinigaglia said, May 07, 2014, 01:38:14 pmI haven't posted here before, but I started watching this topic.

Mizuho said, May 08, 2014, 12:12:57 amyou got me there. haha. I will think about changing the super version details. what do you suggest? which version do you think I should do?The only disadvantage to the super form is that there's more details which means more work and time needed. The back ribbon is troublesome on certain moves because it requires more animation like maybe doing a charge or movement that requires the ribbon to be animated. Also the SuperS back ribbon don't look right at certain angles. Just look at all the animators who drew them and they've looked inconsistent with could range from them hanging flatly or slightly folded.If you're going with a whole set of sailors, classic or original form is less time consuming. Also Saturn's original form is much better than her supers form.You could also try a fan made one by stefanolattanzio though I suggest getting rid of those long back ribbons.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-IRlyz-lWYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IoddayJs7M
♥-♥ mAdLaX ♥-♥ said, May 08, 2014, 07:46:43 amI envy most of the people that can sprite very well.let me know when you find it so I can envy too do you have a gallery, madlax? didn't found it. well. I'm gonna remake the whole sprite as RGVeda suggested. a normal Sailor Jupiter is better than the super Sailor Jupiter.but, in the meanwhile, I'm posting the skin color applied. maybe an another layer is better for the shadow? any suggestions? I want to emulate the blazblue style for coloring. but seems I'm lacking of something. drop me any idea, please?
hello all! sorry for the disappearance. I was kinda sick and recovering. but, let's retake the remaking of sailor jupiter.as rgveda told me, It would be better to make a normal sailor jupiter sprite. so I remade and tweak a bit the prior sprite. the base colors are from another concept image. let's post it!as usual, I've worked it on Sai and later, the base colors are applied on pshopi'm kinda worried about the shading, but, scold me and correct me when you see it in my next post
