if you dont want that crappy white background, if you use paint.net, create a new background and delete that, and if using GIMP, see the step of resizing

This is one of the best threads I have seen on TCF. I just Bookmarked it.

 

[MrFancyPants]

I made this, how is it?

 

[Frous]

8/10, shading needs a little bit to work, it's not bad but, more colors please

What do you expect me to do, argue the opposite? The first sprite needs to be outlined a bit darker, and the second needs its outlines done in a color other than black. I believe Balduran said it herself: no black outlines.

Black outlines help if you're using a high-contrast palette, though.

I use black outlines, myself.

Thanks, but i don't understand what you mean by more colours.

Yay! I found @Balduran here! I was starting to get worried she hadn't come here!

Hi Balduran! How are you?

Hi Balduran! How are you?

I remember reading somewhere that she successfully moved to Canada, no information about what her current life is, though I do hope she's living happily and prosperous.

That's good I suppose. The last thing I remember reading about her was that her landlord was threatening to evict her over something stupid and unless she got money to move to Canada, she'd be homeless.

So hey! Good to hear she got her Canada money! I too, hope that wherever she is, she is happy and content. Also probably really busy.

Last I heard from her, she was gonna fly to Canada. I doubt she's living happy considering she's homeless and horrifyingly depressed/suicidal.
But you never know.

This thread helped me none. I'm using paint.net and I didn't see where any of this tells me how to use paint.net. Very poorly made if I do say so myself. If anyone can teach me how to use paint.net I'd appreciate it.

Remember, this is a spriting guide, not a paint.net guide
