[Theme Thread] CVS Sprite thread

[WizzyWhipitWonderful]

I dont have the sheet, only resources I have is what he posted in the topic. Unless someone has it, or someone's able to get a hold of it i'll have to make some stuff myself (which is sadly....almost everything...)

Wizzy I can PM you the one I came up with, I'm not too big into SOR so I'm sure you could help me with a few ideas.

Well, feel free to.

Sorry if it seems like i'm spamming, i just edit this a lot ^^

pretty happy with it, but C&C is of course appreciated

[Markpachi]

Basing it off of what I see in actual Tekken, and not in his SFXT iteration, here's my feedback:

- Kazuya's right arm is covering too much of his body. His left pectoral should show a little.
- Arm seems a tad bit too small when comparatively scaled with his body.
- On the torso, the body's "muscle/Bruce Lee flaps" could use a bit of shading definition, while the 6 pack could use a bit of pixel reduction.
- Pants look great, but seems a bit mirrored. (Belt, shading on the thigh)


I could give more, but I feel that it would be too much of a nitpick that time around. Thanks for sharing!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice

[Yoshin222]

Cool sprite dude! But a lot of colors are just unnecessary (does his hair really need 4 shades? XD)  I suggest trying to limit it down, admittedly its kinda fun doing that :p

[Nexus Games]

that is how cvs hair is shaded

[Yoshin222]

Yes, but the second darkest color is completely unnecessary. Literally swap it with the darkest and nothing changes

Color limit exceed: 

Awesome bro

[Slayer.]

Thank you guys!

A lot of unnecessary colors? But you just talked about hair, hehe.
Anyway, it's not like it would be the 1st time that a character having 4 shades for the hair. Look at Rugal.
But the thing is the hair color is shared with his bracelets and his pants, so I don't see a problem. Thanks for the feedback though.

[Yoshin222]

I only mentioned the hair as a quick example. I could go more in depth if ya like



As you can see, the initial pallete is 7 colors too many. With the revised pallete, you could keep just as much detail. Admittedly, the black would be used  more, in the instances of the purple (i wanna say...rope?) around his waist, it would essentially serve as the outlines, and the purple would be used for anywhere else. The highlight of his hair could be swapped with one of the white shades, i'm personally thinking the second brightest shade. The darkest skin shade is pretty much never used, aside from the area by the side of his neck, so simply making that area the third shade would work just as fine. I suggest making the pants only 3 shades, and instead of using the second darkest shade in the original pallete, merge it with the black.

Is that better? XD I like using the 16 color limit cause it forces you to think more creatively with how you use colors. Tis good brainnfood :p

PS: Just sayin Guile had 2 shades for his hair

[Karasai]

I tried my hand at editing it, I gave it 16 colors

[Yoshin222]

Hmm. Interesting pallete choice dude. Looks cool though, Looks more traditionally CVS

[Slayer.]

Yoshin,
Now I see a good advice, but using black instead... and I'll sacrifice a lot just to keep the limit.
At least to me, it's not work well in some case, like this. I'm gonna pass it.
Thanks anyway. Guile is CPS2 btw.

Good call, Karasai. Really cool.

[Yoshin222]

Yes, but the 16 color limit still stood in CPS2. Hell, its where it originated from XD
And tbh i wouldn't think so. I do like the call to  have only 2 blues, makes things more flexible

[JustNoPoint]

Just keep in mind not to push the color limit too hard. Some ppl like me would NEVER stick to the 16 color limit. Screw that crap. In fact there are a ton of colors that you literally cannot use if you want to truly be accurate. Like only values of 4 or something I forget because screw that too

All that was based on hardware limitations

[AlexSin]

Yeah, there were a lot of restricitions, all of which are explained here: http://irwt.iammanyninjas.com/sprite-cps2.html
(they should be the same for CvS-CvS2)

[Durrani19]

Hey guys I'm new here, ive never made a cvs2 styled sprite in my life. But I tried to convert the tekken 7 akuma into cvs



Its still unfinished, but constructive criticism is encouraged of course.

I never cared about the limit, but some time ago i tried once because of Chamat:

What I really like about CVS is how the shades and general concepts of the chars are handled. It's awesome.

Spoiler (click to show)

After see this thread so much time I never get why Haohmaru exceeds the palette. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does anybody have the table of style conversions? SNK to CVS, MVC to SNK, etc...
