Penguin Sprite Sheet - Jesse - 10-22-2008 I'm trying to make a penguin sprite sheet for a game about global warming and I find it quite difficult. Can you guys give me advice or help me out? I'd really appreciate it. The penguin I want to sprite is a 64x64 Emperor Penguin chick. It should be short and fat, like this one: My lineart so far is this: Thank you, Jesse RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Kitsu - 10-22-2008 Hi XMD. The lineart looks okay, but it looks like its head might be too big. Also, I think that his arm might be angled wrong... RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Miles07 - 10-24-2008 Well, what sprite style do you want it to be in? It'll help us to critique it as a sprite if we have an idea of what other sprite we should compare it to. As a generality, though, I'd say it needs a bit more AA. And the neck shouldn't reach all the way up the back of its head. RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Jesse - 10-25-2008 I've redone the penguin. I decided to draw it in a tablet, and make the style an unrealistic, cartoon look with this type of shading: Ignore the second picture, those are the collision boundaries. This style of shading is new to me, and I think it would make a fresh new look if I continued it. Any critique on it? RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Nintendo_6444 - 10-25-2008 Looks nice. Not much more I can say. RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - ~BRICKLIN~ - 10-25-2008 Something about that mysterious band of light where his neck should be worries me. RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Chdonga - 10-25-2008 At first I thought you meant the penguin from Batman, I'm an idiot. Anyway I think the head should be just a little rounder in the front and the wings should be thinner. And the white patch sould go all the way under neath its mouth. RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Jesse - 10-25-2008 Vector: RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Ultimecia - 10-25-2008 The wing seems a bit bigger (or longer) than the reference pic you're using. Also it got really black feet. Other than that, it's so cute I want to poke it! It's looking great so far! I suggest you to do the parts separately in photoshop (using layers). It's easier to animate if want to make a game. RE: Penguin Sprite Sheet - Jesse - 10-26-2008 I'm not too experienced with animation in Photoshop; I use Paint and Inkscape (for vectors). I will change the foot color and split the penguin into parts, however. Thank you for the advice.
