Post your Z2 sprite/sprite edit/original sprite. It/They must be in Z2 style.

Z2 style
Balthazar's perfected (but still improving) style for his DragonBall Z characters: it all started from his first version, called GokuZ; after that he started to remake the sprites; his style is known for being inspired from CvS (for the shading) and for having large sprites.
Examples:



Vegeta Saiyan Saga

First edit was by Tsukuyomi Ryūku; I finished the armour pads and the tail.

And...

Gohan Z2!
First sketch by Balthazar, second sprite is shaded by me following his other sprite and the Hyper Dimension sprite (third one).

Ah, feel free to bump this topic (even if it gets old) with new sprites if you want. :)

That looks really good Armentis;

You should continue...Balthazar may spark interest in your works.
NO MORE CPS2;

I only use it for project-specific purposes.

Sprites made in Balthazar's style (see the characters Goku Z2 and Vegeta Z2, or his topic in this section).

I don't know whether to laugh or be appalled. That said, good job on the sprites, and maybe give the Guild another DBZ What-If Surprise (except Majin Frieza - that's almost too easy).

Majin Freeza AND Majin Cell were both in Budokai 2.

That's an awesome Gokule sprite, how about a Tiencha sprite?

They were, but a sprite of either would pretty much be an existing sprite with a Majin "M" on said sprite's forehead. Hence, "too easy".

Yes, seeing how many people are interested in making these sprites, I thought it was a good idea, and I still think that!

I think he is too large in Normal and SSJ State, I would make him a bit taller than it is now.

Could someone explain to me how Z2's shading is made? Is it similar to CvS? Are the proportions based off of SF Alpha? Help. :sweatdrop:

SF3-ish Proportions and the shading is similar to that of CvS style.

But the light source comes from the front, right?

Nope, straight from above, like CvS.
Exceptions are in sprites where the char is powering-up (usually inverted lightsource/comes from the inside),
and when doing super attacks like Chou Kamehameha (light-source does indeed come from the front then).
