RE: My First Sprite Attempt - triptych - 08-02-2010
The influx of edits being posted here is REALLY making me question whether or not they should even be allowed here anymore
I mean, yeah they're a nice starting point for getting into pixel art but you're almost guaranteed to get zero critique unless what you're posting is 100% custom(or at least looks like it)
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Vipershark - 08-02-2010
I can't actually tell that these are edits :/
though maybe not playing the source game much contributes to that
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Kimboy321 - 08-02-2010
oh alright then. thanks for the info. I'll try some 100% custom....time to start reading up on those tutorials lol
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Nindo - 08-02-2010
In all reality, you seem pretty capable of creating something 100% of your own.
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Kimboy321 - 08-02-2010
Really? well I can try but i see the reviews u guys give and somehow, i honestly can't the little things that you guys see but it's worth a shot.
EDIT:
Here's one I made completely from scratch:

It's not done obviously but what could I do to make it better?
EDITEDIT:
HAD to do Nayru to compliment Din lol

RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Darking - 08-03-2010
Are you sure that's your first 100% custom sprite? Because is really good. The main problem I see on it is that tha hair shading need to be redone, to make it look more like hair, actually is just a brown thing that gets lighter on the top. The shading in the face, in the other hand, is pretty well done.
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Kimboy321 - 08-03-2010
lol yes I'm sure it's 100% but I'm not exactly sure how to shade it cuz all i really know right now is dithering, any suggestions?
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Vipershark - 08-03-2010
The number one rule of spriting: Never dither, ever.
Dithering is worse than pillow shading.
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Kimboy321 - 08-03-2010
wow seriously? i'll keep that in mind, i always thot dithering was good when used in the right places?
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - triptych - 08-03-2010
There's literally 5 people that know how to dither correctly. You aren't any of them.
No one is any of them.
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Kimboy321 - 08-03-2010
never said i was, it's called experimentation lol. but other than the dithering, is everything else okay in terms of line art and color choice and all tht?
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Vipershark - 08-03-2010
the colors on the hair have a bit too much contrast imo, but start adding the body in now.
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Kimboy321 - 08-03-2010
ok i will but i just need an opinion on this one tht my friend asked for.
![[Image: JessicaMonroe.png]](http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af219/Kimboyy321/JessicaMonroe.png)
i can see plenty wrong with it but i'm not sure how to go about fixing it, any ideas?
EDIT: Also @ vipershark, the contrast in the hair is usually like that (if you've ever seen boondocks)
RE: My First Sprite Attempt - Vipershark - 08-03-2010
is that custom?
