Newbie spriter needing help. - Sigma - 05-23-2008
I'm trying to make this ninja warrior battler set to look like my overworld sprite for my RPG that I'm deep into.

The problem is that I'm not very good at spriting so I don't know where to start. This problem is probably laughable to most of you, so I'm sorry I'm not at your skill level yet. hehe
Any help would be appreciated.

I think the original sprite isn't jpg. I think I just saved it jpg myself and hosted it.

Dude, I remember you from a long ways back asking for help on Pixeltendo. I swear I at least made one base-sprite of this for you. Wait, wasn't that at least a year ago?

Really? My partner might have. Is that topic still around? He must have lost hope.

Yeah, PNG is better quality. That way the lack of transparency isn't a problem.
Well, first, identify styles that best suit your sprite sheet concept. Final Fantasy? Fire Emblem? What suits your fancy?
Next, identify the shading and spriting styles. Also come up with what sort of palette(s) you want your sheet to be.
Then, begin spriting. Start by making individual parts of the character, such as a whole set of different hairstyles, arm/leg lengths, costumes, body builds, etc. Then sort out the ones that most appeal to you, and modify them a little so that they can all fit together. Then copy the parts and flatten them into one picture (Fireworks speech, if you can understand), and that's your sprite.
Using this "base sprite", create your animations. Weapons, actions, poses, etc.
There. My short "custom sprite concept" tutorial.
