Take 2: Starw Hat, Bushy Beard and Wheat

Dayum. nicely done. .Although can you resize this I want to see it in detail, if it's too much the trouble then it's ok, I'll be spriting a weapon soon wish me luck

 

[NeoPhantom]

All sprites are made 2x2 pixels, so resizing it will just give you problems when you start spriting yourself... I can take a screenshot of it zoomed in on my paint tool though if that helps.

Hidden due to size.

I see . also how do sprite in MS Paint? do you just zoom it in at max and sprite pixel by pixel?

 

[NeoPhantom]

Kind of, but not everything.

See that buttom that says Brushes? It allows painting with a color while mixing that color with that of its surroundings. Its what i used for the beard and straw hat. Those lines in the hat? They were pure black before using the brush over it with yellow.

Finer details such as the clothes and the hoe did require pixel by pixel painting with the Pencil.

To add more tones and color variations, I first painted the base color (ex: Red Beard) then slowly made the color darker in the Edit Color button to add depth.

Of course, Ms Paint is quite a crude program to use, but Ive no other painting program at present,

I see this is already troublesome, I'm trying my best to draw right now but how many pixels do you think does a staff weap would take? (dimensions)

 

[NeoPhantom]

Your best bet would be to get a sprite sheet of weapons and copy/paste a staff of approximate size next to the area you wish to create your own.

wow amazing ty again I'll post it once I complete 50% of it!
EDIT: just how do put an image next to the sprite?

 

[NeoPhantom]

Personally, I drag images into the Paint Program to load them in. Then I crop the item I want and delete the rest. Place the cropped item where you want it and draw over or next to it.

Miner/Treasure Hunter NPC

Looks more like a treasure fanatic adventurer of some sort, but Oh well!

Spent some trouble on that backpack with map/scroll coming out of it. This one's a resprite of the Demolitionist in case it wasn't obvious.

woah that'd be awesome quests exchange of may xp->ores/gems? gems/ores->xp?

 

[NeoPhantom]

Is that a sword? If so, remember that weapons of the same type must be sprited in the same direction. For swords it's:

Inclined Diagonally
Left to Right
Down to Up

it's actually a staff I see so I have to bend it to the right?

 

[NeoPhantom]

Ah, sorry. Its styled like an ankh then?

The reason i thought sword is because it looked like a hilt.

Yes, it needa to be inclined that way as well, otherwise coding it as a weapon is quite hard. The exception are books and things you Dont want the player to swing such as the magic mirror and cellphone.

Something else to work on is with the shadows. The color is plain with only some extra color that seem more related to design of the weapon rather than shadows.

The thread i wrote previously mentions this and gives various examples.

hmmm I actually like the color, do you actually know other paint tools in which I can rotate images? (MS Paint is annoying) or do know how to do it ms paint?

 

[NeoPhantom]

Nope. Sorry. Only know by 90* rotation and that wont help you much...

I wonder if Ivysaur's here yet... I need him ti tell me anything i need to change in the npcs before creating the movement sprites...

damn animating them already gimme me your skills pls
[doublepost=1465358180,1465358032][/doublepost]Also practicing respriting this

<-finished product (I hope...) What do you think about it?

 

[NeoPhantom]

The design is cool, but should be thicker as only being one thick makes it seem too fragile and wont be very visible...

Make the inside of the staff at minimum 2 thick to avoid that.

While the upper portion also suffers from that, the aura mitigates the effect, so you could leave it as such.

The connector between the stick and the upper design is the main problem though... its way too squared!


Ps- by animating I just mean make the different versions of the sprite's legs and arms moving. Small changes in each sprite, but 16+ in total (exclusing attack or sitting animations)
