This is my first sprite design for a character I plan to create with time. It is Hotsuma from the PS2 game Shinobi. This sprite is definately going to change this is just how far my spriting skills extend at the moment. I created using photoshop. If anyone has any tips or suggestions fill me in.Simple StanceMore coming soon!!!
this looks like some random evil vilain from hell use his power to change his pallete to 8 bits and stolen all the shadow of him...and crushes with a rollbtw, you CAN improve this, base in the cvs characters with the same size, look the shadows and colors
I decided to get the tablet out and do some resketching based off a screenshot have not implemented any shading to it yet because I am not sure where to start honestly. Does anyone have some tutorials they don't mind linking to dealing with shading and or sprite creation? I found a couple but more the merrier. Here is the new stance and I belive it does not look so cartoonish as it did before.Stance (No Animation Yet)EDIT:I got to love my tablet takes 50% time out then with the mouse. Tell me what you think about Hatsuma's crouch.Stance & Crouch
@9999Yes I know I just wanted to get the beginning then the end done I will fill in the wholes eventually.@BigBossAs I stated in my first thread this is my first sprite drawing I have never tried anything of the sort before. He is by no means going to look like a replica because I know I am not that great of a spriter. Also you said I need to work on his drawing all together please point out what are the problems and what could be fixed. The only thing I see is that the black outline needs to be taken out, shading at a later time, and some ugliness to the crouch (the finger).
Ditch the random lines (muscles/cloth folds?) Work more on the over all form. The bottom half of the standing sprite is a decent start. The top half is where you messed up. You have too much going on with the scarf. Make it a solid shape until you are ready to add animation to it. Overall, focus less on the details until you actually have the animation down. Look up Hanzo (Samurai Showdown), Chipp (Guilty Gear), and Strider (Marvel vs Capcom). The research will help your overall spriting.
