My Attempt To Return **UPDATE**

[Mr. Green]

A few years ago, I came to this forum as an arragant child, sprite swapping characters, making shitty edits, and could barely sprite...
I have matured, and I asked to be forgiven for all the shit I did.
I have been practicing spriting. Behold, me trying to fix my mistake:

Old Matt:


Now, This is my attempt to remake him:


Please Give Feed Back, I need it.
He may be a possible WIP, But I don't know if I should do it anymore...

**UPDATE**

New Stance Update:


Fixed Movement, better shading, and the original pallete Matt had

[ARCoolguy]

he looks better you should add a little more movement

[Mr. Green]

he looks better you should add a little more movement

lol
considering the sprites you made....
i dunno if i should take your advice
(p.s i will thats jsut a beta stance)

[ARCoolguy]

who says I cant improve I am still learning spriting but not posting all my sprites

[Iced]

I remember you.
Welcome back.

[Tony 3rd]

great improvement. the fact that you managed to do the second sprite is a victory in itself.

now, for further improvement.

your sprite looks like he has a spring on its belly, he has no movement neither on the legs, or on the chest.

the chest should expand (think of a balloon being filled). for regular breathing, just 1 pixel is enought.

for that kind of movement, you should have the feet to move as well, even if as just a little. try comparing your stance with Ryu's. arms should move as well.

for more details on how to sprites check this site

http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~claypool/courses/frontiers-06/samples/pixel-artist/default.html

also check this one, specially the shading part
http://www.natomic.com/hosted/marks/mpat/index.html

both of these should give some good instruction on what to do.

Thanks for the tutorials
This stance is a really early beta, I plan to make it more animated.
I used shading reference from a MvC2 Ryu sprite.
I will repost with an updated version

[Duo Solo]

good luck with this. I hope you succeed. Im still trying to learn how to sprite too lol

[FeLo_Llop]

- Matachi: It's a VERY GOOD improvement since your previous attempt. It's nice that you'll be listening to(or trying ) to the oldies here.
Things on the sprite has been told, and I don't have to add anything new so, if doesn't bothers you, I'll post the steps I follow(this goes for ARCool Guy too...guys, take pointers on this!)

Spoiler (click to show)

As you can see, I just make green outlines above her and then select ONLY those green with photoshop, then change the greens with the darkest flesh tone and fill inside it with the previous one. Then, adding the muscle shading and going into details.

Hope this works for ya'!

hey matt, good thing you decided to come back in a more mature way 

from the links tony gave you , pay attention to this one specifically, since the final sprite in the page has some arms and pants movement, which is exactly what your stance needs to "be alive"


from the second link he gave you, use that to fix the outlines and antilias mostly for the arms and torso . . . also, it's always useful to have the lightsource always present while working

Spoiler: something like this (click to show)

see the brute arrow? thats's my light referece

Ok, I'll try and get the lightsource better, I want it to look MvC2, but not too much
I'm definitely going to read that tutorial though

[Duo Solo]

lol, I've always loved comebacks.

[Randomish]

I've had many 80's montages

You've definitely improved, I'll give you that.

I honestly think your light source is slightly off, noticably on the hair. It's not centered like it is on the rest of the body.

I'll try to fix it right now

New Stance Update
Better shading, animation, Matt's original palette and the speed was changed

[momo!]

not bad, i hope you took up my advice for tennis lessons on your time off 

the head looks pretty bad on that body, it might just be me, this might be your style, idk, but it looks like the guy from that cartoon show about the granting wishes by two fairies...without a crown:P
