Edit Reason: Removing several sprites I no longer want to show
)
Update 7/27/2021:
Scrolling through these posts, I now realize just how many unfinished projects I have. Maybe next time I update this thread, I will have actually worked on them.
That said, I have made some progress on the sprites from the previous update, so we're gonna look at them first.
No, Weeaboo Man is not part of this update. I'm still working on the initial frame, trying to add additional details (like, for example, on his shoes).
(NOTE: The first two sprites have been removed. Please check this post and this other post for more details.)
Finally, the new Mario sprite. The WIP sprite from the last update is done!
I struggled to come up with good arms for the sprite, and I ended up using the original sprite's arm as a basis. I have no idea when I'll add more to it, but I plan to revisit the arms, since they don't really flow well with Mario's stance.
Now that the older sprites are accounted for, its time for the new sprites I have made/finished since last time. First up is another remake of an older sprite, this one of Sonic the Hedgehog!
Up top is three sprites: the one on the left is the original sprite from around 2018 or so, the one in the middle was one I made in late 2020 that I scrapped because I felt that it was too much of a copy of the 16-bit sprites of Sonic, and the one on the right is the latest one! I was reluctant to share this one, as I wanted to share the original Sonic spritesheet first, but in the end I decided that it would serve as a good lead in to this section.
And, speaking of redoing old sprites, here's the last one for the night: Mega Man!
This one is significantly different than the other ones in that I made it using a different technique than the other ones: using basic shapes to provide a rough silhouette of the final product, and working from there. I feel that this degree of planning helped the sprite to look better than my previous efforts, especially compared to my first attempt at a Mega Man sprite.
That's all for now. Maybe next time I update, I will have figured out how to remove the poll from this topic!
