Hi, I've been trying to sprite recently. I've been using the touch pad on my laptop (which has made the process really long) and mspaint.  So this is what I came up with

I wasn't really going for any particular sprite style, I've been just trying to focus on what I am thinking in my head and sprite it. I looked at a few different sprite for reference and tried to somewhat base the guy on NES Bill Rizer. C+C would be appreciated, I am having a hard completing these sprites.

alas! someone like me that uses a touchpad for spriting! its hard shit ill tell you that.

hmm, he looks pretty great so far! you might wanna add a bit more depth on the shirt area, look at yamazaki for reference, but other than that it looks awesome!

I tried to add some depth to the shirt and this is what I came up with

How does he look now?

[MotorRoach]

This is looking incredible now. What I love the most is how accurate you got it to the CvS sprite style.

[O Ilusionista]

Pretty good work, dude.

[hatter]

Much better.

Thank you for the replies. I seen someone on DA make a Sonic 2 Mickey Mouse so I thought I would try to do Donald Duck and this is what I came up with:

I tried to make Donald Duck as sonic 2 accurate as possible but eventually gave into selectively outlining at some point and adding a bit of anti alias.Also, the other sprite that I am working on comprised of me thinking about a Trigun-like pose that someone would do in the series when drawing their weapon. I think I might eventually try to make that sprite into Knives. C+C would be appreciated on either of the sprites if anyone has any suggestions.

I was thinking about spriting an animal head today. After managing to somehow make a Lion look like a bear, I tried combining a swordsman with a wrestler and giving him a Raven head which lead me to questioning if having the head the way it is anatomically correct. I'm not sure it looks natural. C+C would be helpful on this one,

[Matthew]

I think I might have got the raven head down.

and this is just randomness

ps: I'm trying to figure out a fast way to shade. The lines usually take me from 7 - 15 minutes just using the line tool. The coloring has been killing me, though. Has anyone any suggestions?

[MotorRoach]

Those are some fine looking outlines you got going there. Looking forward to see them made.

Also, I think you're talking about @Drex 's Mickey sprites. Although I'm pretty sure he made Donald as well.

I always loved seeing your sprites and how you make them, Shinshoto! Glad to see you back! Keep it up

[Matthew]

This was something I've got to work on before I left for some military work I've had started working on before having to do some military work for earlier this week. My goal is to redo every sprite that I have done in the past (mostly sprite edits. ) just to see how much I've improved.
nothing special, just me roughing outlines. I hope to animate Hwa Jai ultimately.

[AlexSin]

I fixed your post.

I really like seeing your sprite processes.

[HadeS]

2nd ^

Keep it up, Shinshoto!

[Matthew]

I fixed your post.

I really like seeing your sprite processes.

Thank you Alex and Hades. I like to show my steps. I have many reasons as to why I do this.
1.Show proof that I am making the sprites myself are done by myself.
2. To somewhat educate myself and others on building a sprite from scratch while using MSPaint.
3. To help being spotted out where I make my mistakes in certain areas.
4. And to make sure that if I make any mistakes I can paste in anywhere I make mistakes.
I've also been wondering If I should start using adding in the sprites that I reference certain pieces from. Also, I wonder if it would be a good idea comment on what I am doing exactly on what I am doing during each step.
I am aiming to eventually make this into somewhat of a tutorial type thread to help others.
ps: All of this work that I am doing is free for the taking, The only thing that I am asking is that I am giving credit to what is being used in order to educate myself and help me think more outside of the box so I can produce a unique character designs due to the fact that I am spriting with spriter's block .

Sorry for the double post but this is just some an old sprites post that I plan on redoing completely from scratch that will be done in a random order.

here's an old Jimbo outline I was working on but plan on redoing the entire sprite and coloring it.

Here's an old NGPC original character I was working on but lost the files:

This was Space Spectre/ Cheap Color Swap

And here is another old sprite edit I did years back

Idk if I've ever posted this here as well

as well as this

and this pocket style Godzilla

It's funny to look back at some of these old sprites and see how far I've come along. It seems like I didn't learn a thing through sprite editing now that I look think about it,






I'm thinking about trying to challenge myself and recreate all these sprites from scratch and seeing how much I've improved.

They'll probably not take that much time to get done seeing that I've just purchased a new graphics tablet. But I hope to get started as soon as possible when I have some free time from classes. Maybe start getting them done during school break.
By the way

I feel this looks much better in my honest opinion.

[MotorRoach]

I'm actually looking forward to see the recreations you're going to make. You got a lot of neat choices in here, and clearly you have improved a lot.

[hatter]

Agree with you on Donald, and good luck with your revamps. I'm doing the same as well, can't wait to see how your sprites will look once renewed!!
