Everyone likes Pandas.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, nice to meet you. I am a fan of anime, especially the Fate series. I really like Saber, and all the mugen chars of her imo didn't have good looking sprites. I had some experience in spriting so I wanted to try making my own sprites. I used the Reisbyfe sprites from Melty Blood as a base, and I thought it turned out quite nicely. Although I think that I probably could've worked on the skirt a bit harder. I've only sprited the regular stance so far, and I haven't added Excalibur. Can anyone offer some feedback, it would be great! Thanks!

Maybe when I'm done someone can turn it into a character. I've never made a char before, so if I do it it'll probably suck!

The shading , it's always the shading. in this specific cse it is kinda pilowy, you might want to use a different/lighter shade on the upper outline.

Cool sprite, but this does go in Idea Engineering until you have more progress.

by upper outline, do you mean the top part of the sprite, like the outline on waist up?

does this look like the face of mercy?

Its under Mugen discussion.

If you want to just discuss graphics you should post in the Graphics area, tho.

Nice sprite, really.

New to mugen? Try out the starter pack, tools and a selection of characters from all around Mugen

It's no big deal. Everyone starts as a newbie.

I already moved the topic. Also, it's a sub-board in MUGEN Discussion.

no, let's say that teh sprite is made by several parts, like arms, skirt, head, etc.. as an example the plates of her armour/skirt. they are squares like this.

1111111
2 3
2 3
2 3

you hvae the same colour in 1 than you have in 4, that makes it look like a pillow; normally we call that pillow shading, and while that is correct it is also the type of shading that is less pleasant to the eye, fighting game sprites tend o put the light source either straight up or in the upper rght corner, so pixels in positions 1 and 3 tend to be one tone lighter than pixels at 2 and 4 ; you can try working with 4 tones per colour, two for the meat/content of the sprite (light and dark) and two for the outlines ( dark out line and clear outline) , from dakest to lightes they should be dark outline, dark content , light outline, light content.

Depending on the specific style/effect you want you might need to add more colours, but those guidelines should work for most styles.

Everyone likes Pandas.

I tried applying what you said, and then I used something that I learned while looking at a Godzilla game from a long time ago. When I tried using the same method on the chest plate I found that it just didn't look right. How does this one look?

I just realized I forgot to erase the pallete in the upper left, oops!

it looks improved, also keep the palette, it's not bad, the only thing tat might get you complains here is saving it as jpg, I have even posted sprites without transparency and nobody gets bothered.

I decided to change the stance, because I realized that Excalibur was a 2handed weapon. But I guess it doesn't really matter. But which one looks best do you guys think?
