Sousanator did well on ripping Brian Griffin for SDB. Well, I'm planning to do a modern-day remake.

I managed to use Simplector to trace what Brian looks like today and IsoPix to pixelate the traced vectors. Here's what turned out so far.

And I'm using a different image hosting website now, because Imageshack will no longer allow free uploads, even through their ".us" client.



However, I don't mind a little help sprucing this idle sprite up.

I see you doing a lot of custom Family Guy sprites lately. While that is fine and all, may I suggest that you branch out to other franchises and create characters and objects from those? If you keep creating sprites from the same TV show/game again and again, you're limiting yourself greatly and you'll end up becoming tired of it very easily.

Yes, the sprites are also very simple in style. You could argue that the animation is the challenge, but if you're imitating
a style from a game, you can pretty much copy those animations.

Still, LDEJRuff should be allowed to do as he pleases.

I understand that, Paladin. There's nothing I could do to stop Ruff from spiriting in this style, but, at the same time, I honestly want to watch him grow as a spriter. Besides, if he gives at least another character from a different franchise a try, there could be a chance that he finds it as a challenging, enjoyable experience.

Yes, I definitely agree. It's much better spriting
custom sprites and experimenting with styles than
imitating what's already been done.

Meh, let him do what he wants. He'll move on when he's sick of the style. For now, let's give him feedback on what he's showing us.

Drawing on a same style as the other person is not inherently bad. The purpose of those sprites is not to be of full artistic value; its more about replicating the show's visuals into pixelart.

I think that you should use some antialias to make the lines as smooth as the source style, i will get onto it when im on my pc

I just checked those apps you mentioned and... you did these on a touchscreen? Dang. I admire your patience.
