The sprites look sick... but, and maybe this is just me... the shading doesn't look like it quite matches Z2. I see some overuse of the darkest shades and the "shiny" shade. The muscle definition seems a tad soft, too. Again, I'm no authority on the style, just my two cents.
His style is not Z2, in fact many shading choices and the use of a different light source, together with cases of pillow shading and banding, make it really different and not really fitting the style.The concepts are good though, so props on that.
Thanks for the coms and the good feedbacks guys, AlexSin, maybe you can take my standing sprite and show me how the z2 style looks like. It would be helpfull to understand.Good night!
Glad to hear that, Diepod Edit > Preferences > General > Image Interpolation : Nearest Neighbour (preserve hard edges) 't was a game changer!
Thx for your video, I saw it on facebook, it's interesting.I checked out several sprites of Barker this morning to study the style.I change several things : - More light source from above- Less shading (the darkest one)- More muscle definition (it's hard on Kid Buu, he is not super buu )You have my first sprite on the left, Barker's super buu, and my new try.
Its a nice fixup, though i did some more tweakingNot sure if mine is more accurate, so take it with a grain of salt
Thx for your try !Hmmm to be honest I don't know, I think my version is more closed to the Super Buu's barker style. But several things are nice on your version, I will certainly do a "merge" later This morning I made a sprite of my favorite characters in DBZ. (with Cell)
You kept using the old Super Buu sprite; you should use the new one as a reference instead.It might not change too much, but still, use the latest work as your reference.I edited your Buu sprite:It might not be accurate to the style, but at least the light source is now correct.
Nah, the lightsource comes from directly above. The light simply curves around his body due to his anatomy
Ok ! So here the final version with AlexSin light source, I add a little more to increase muscule definition.
Wrong ShadingWrong proportionsRight colors, completely wrong implementationyou get the rest. i hate to be 'that' guy but could you please either post in relevant topics o make your own? The Z2 part of the title isn't just there to look pretty, fheres an actual style to it. Of which if you've seen the sprites, havent even tried analysing Please stop uploading these babies in these threads without at least trying to improveOr better yet make like Kyle and kick fhe babies
