Verifiaman sprites - verifiaman - 06-03-2011
This is another attempt at custom spriting. its basically classic megaman in the style of pokemon gold/silver/crystal

Okay, but this should be in Sprite Discussion. Moved!
RE: Megaman pokemon G/S/C style - Maneko - 06-03-2011
Honestly, it looks like a giant head with feet. (I know that since these Pokemon games are from Game Boy the style is minimalist, but you should at least get sure the body keeps being visible.)
I don't know about the others, but without these tags to gave to the sprites, I would never have guessed what did you tried to do.
RE: Megaman pokemon G/S/C style - verifiaman - 06-03-2011
So do I shrink the head and body, or change the colors around?
RE: Megaman pokemon G/S/C style - Maneko - 06-03-2011
Shrink the helmet and make the body more visible.
RE: Megaman pokemon G/S/C style - verifiaman - 06-03-2011
I did just that. to be quite honest, it doesn't look right

RE: Megaman pokemon G/S/C style - verifiaman - 06-04-2011
Here are some enemies in which i tried to apply the same style on
The puka pucker and danger sweeper from Megaman 5, and the atomic chicken from megaman 2.

And also a comparison of the megaman sprites, original and edited.

i'd say try something else. this is just being made in this style for the sake of it being extremely small and cheapfully easy to edit.

That, and i really like making 4 directional sprites of my favorite video game characters. It's also more of a challenge to convert most sidescrolling enemies into a style like this.

Here's an example of what i mean: Hot head from Megaman 2

Since you are going for "mechanical" characters, perhaps you should try mimicing Bomberman's style instead.
RE: Megaman & enemy sprites pokemon G/S/C style - verifiaman - 06-04-2011
I would, but like I said, I'm trying to make side scrolling sprites into top down/ 4-directional sprites.

Bomberman does meet that criteria in 90% of its games.

i have bad news for you:
it is not.
plus you are not even converting these sprites, you 're just recoloring/altering the original trainer sprites. by the time you're naming this a "topdown, 4 directional sprite" you should already had noticed your side sprites are nowhere to be topdown.
RE: Megaman & enemy sprites pokemon G/S/C style - verifiaman - 06-04-2011
No, I mean turning sprites like megaman, mario or sonic into top down sprites, like this one i did of mighty the armadillo last month:

It doesn't look like him very much, but I've improved a little.
