tSR's Sheet Replacement Project: WE'RE LIVE - GrooveMan.exe - 05-22-2008
tSR has been around for a good long while, and accumulated a lot of sheets. However, as time passed, our skills improved; and some of the custom sheets that were once considered acceptable have become obsolete. We can't delete them, as that's removing content that could be useful to someone.
So I propose a replacement project. first of all, we take a quick stock of sheets that are now considered low quality, and once a month, I'll post a few (say 5 or so) that are up for replacement. Then it's a contest between you guys as to who can make the best replacement. The winners have their sheets uploaded to tSR!
Edits are allowed; just as long as the sheet is of better quality than the original; so anyone can take part. But be aware that you can only lobby for one sheet, and each sheet has a limited number of contestants. Choose wisely as to what sheet you wanna revamp!
AWWRIGHT PEOPLE TIME FOR SOME ROUND 1!
In light of the hefty number of complaints with the Mario custom section, we'll start with that.
Your 5 sheets are:
Pirahna Plant

This sheet has suffers from some really poor shading and colouring. To be successful here; a good understanding of colour theory is vital!

Oh dear... not only is the lineart very sketchy and uneven, the colouring is also out of whack. With no inherent style or size limits, if you like doing PAs, this is your real chance to shine.

Magikoopa

Looking kinda stiff there, buddy. This sheet could be better done by someone who has a good concept of animation and poses to make Magikoopa come alive!

Hammer Bro Mario (Superstar Saga style)

Like water, poetry, and the milk in your refridgerator; sprites need to flow in style and consistency. If parts stand out more than others; and edits are obvious, it all looks wrong. And that's no good. An easy one for the less experienced spriters out there to show how edits are meant to be done.

Custom... Mario?

I'm not sure what to say... Let's get this one replaced, and move on shall we? >>

Just tell me what sheet you want to have a crack at, and I'll add your name to the first post. You may only attempt one sheet. If you want to switch that's fine; but your other entry is null and void. There's no limit to the number of people that can sign up, but if one sheet gets an imbalanced number of applicants, I'll block it off. You'll want to make your application quickly! Plus, if you go for a sheet with low competition; you're more likely to win~
Thanks, and I hope this project can become a success! =D
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - Cshad - 05-22-2008
Sheet Name: Mega Smilax
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/customs/smsc-smilax.gif
This sheet uses default ms paint colours, the sheet itself has low quality rushed shading, inconsistencies in outline and shading, the lineart is a bit sloppy.
Pirhanna plant
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/custom/Customs/piranha1.png
This sheet has gradient, pillow shading, lack of contrast, and I think should be replaced
Petey Pirhanna
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/rpg/mlcustoms/mlcpetey2.png
Resized beyond use and repair, and a minor edit of Pirhanna bean
Mips
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/rpg/mlcustoms/mlcsm64mips.png
The shading doesent seem very m&l, the shape does alos not resemble a rabbit.
Bowser Jr
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/rpg/mlcustoms/mlcbowserjr.png
This sheet is several different styles thrown together (m&l, YI, etc), the shell is a recolor of a spinea rip, I think the main sprite itself is an edit of a koopa kid, its also out of proportion to bowser jr
Bob omb
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/rpg/mlcustoms/mlcbobomb.png
Lacks contrast, animations not all that smooth, the sfx is from other games, it does not fit M&L style
King goomba
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mario/rpg/mlcustoms/mlckingoomba.png
We have no M&L kind goomba on the site the lineart is decent, but the shading is done poorly. The only really good thing about the sheet is the goombas, but those are recolored rips :X. I tihnk it would be a good idea to revamp
Thats all I have for now, Im not sure if some of the sheets I suggested, should be deleted rather than revamped
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - GrooveMan.exe - 05-22-2008
Thing is, Dazz won't delete any custom sheets unless there's a reasonable replacement, so it's a revamp, or nothing, I'm afraid.
I'll note all these down. Thank you.
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - Ton - 05-23-2008
I agree with all of those but King Goomba.

Me too
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - A.J. Nitro - 05-23-2008
I had a list of a bunch of sheets that could've been taken down when we had the old PT. I'll have to check again later.

Well, uh, why :X? I think it should be revamped because it could be alot better then it currentyl is, the colors are too dark for M&L, it doesent look very M&L, black outlines on the inside, not enough contrast etc etc etc...
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - A.J. Nitro - 05-23-2008
You may be right, but we should just keep it up until we get a better version.

Ah, yeah. I'll ask jordan to move it to Land of the Locked for me, or something, so I can browse it.
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - JoshR691 - 05-23-2008
I may revisit a few sheets of mine for the Sidescroller Project, I know, I shouldn't spend too much time on sheets that are done, but...One or two do need to be fixed, badly...Here are the ones I think I need to revamp:
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/pokemon/customs/display.php?file=joshr_lucas.png - Because the Platinum design(if it's real) will be coming out soon
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/pokemon/customs/display.php?file=pkmnpikachucc5.png - It's not 'Bad' I actually like it, but I might be able to do better(if I don't I just won't say anything about it =P)
http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/pokemon/customs/display.php?file=pkmnsquirtlems5.png - Really, what the hell was I thinking? I could upgrade the shell(Physical Attack), and perhaps the head(again, if I can't make a better head, I won't say anything)
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - GrooveMan.exe - 05-23-2008
I'll add those I suppose, but if I put those up in the contest, they're fair game for everyone to try and remake. You're cool with that?

Heh, I thought that it was we remake the sheets we put up...
Guess I'll try reading Harder next time
Geez, good thing ya explained it to me, otherwise the project would be compromised
RE: tSR's Sheet Replacement Project (Demo Stage) - Britt - 05-23-2008
Try Re-Making the sheets first and Request an Update. That would work right?

Neox The Hedgehog Wrote:Try Re-Making the sheets first and Request an Update. That would work right?Well, I did that over at PT with the Red and Lucas Sheets, so I could most likely do it here as well
