also more like everyone loves CHEATS

I heard of that code but never knew what it was for (cause I don't play Konami games really). I now just learned what it is. Cool little riddle you devised for us.

And Bomberman's hands look okay to me, he's just naturally shiny with that large dot on the front of his hands, feet, and antenna ball so the shading might look strange. Great work, still don't know who the guy pointing at Mario is.

are you 13?

you sound like someone on its 13's

also, of all the characters cotton might be the one with the most boring pose of the group. she really looks stiff compared to the rest.

[X Gamer 66]

cute. I like 'em.

Some things that stick out: marina's left arm looks out of perspective, I think it should either be bigger to look closer, or the headband flaps should be in front of it. Also Ashley's face looks flat and smushed.

Wha...? No, I'm not, I could have spelled out the code in words, I just wanted to "symbolize" it to look fun. I don't use symbols commonly when I'm typing, and I'm a perfectionist when it comes to grammar and spelling, so it isn't like I'm one of those OMG U R MY BFF 4 LYF types of people... I really didn't mean to give off the impression that I was uneducated. :/

Oh. Well I've heard of Alex Kidd, but I didn't recognize him there. I'm just more into Nintendo, Capcom, SEGA and Hudson franchises, but I do own the GBA Yu-Gi-Oh! game, "The Eternal Duelist Soul" and it's really fun, I'm just not really into Konami so that's the reason. Sorry to jump there.

Just tossing it out there, but not hearing about the konami code doesn't make you 13. You really shouldn't be arguing this here; it's for talking about Gors' sprites.

I like the design. The white button presses on the D-pad looks a bit weird, though.

um


also you're missing out big time by not playing Konami games

EDIT: and not playing Alex Kidd

btw thanks for the comments!

@iceman404 I like the hilariously long feet, but I'll change it to be shorter. Also, Mario's hat can't be shaded because the dark red happens to be the same dark red used on the hat's bill. It'd cause a huge dark blot on the sprite, and since I'm working with a limited palette, it isn't interesting to me.

@Proton I tried to replicate the official art's shading method, but I ended up changing the color's order (dark pink should be in the middle). And they're supposed to be all left; I'll try changing it.

@Met until I can draw girls riding brooms decently, I'll leave it as it is B-(

I'll look for a ref and tackle it again when I feel like it

@X Gamer 66 thanks, will do

I like the white on the D-Pads myself, but yeah you're right. Go go Gors you make great sprites.

What I should have said was, "I like the Sonic series and a couple other SEGA games", and I dunno, it just never interested me. I don't care to play Kingdom Hearts (unless I owned a PSX), I'm not a huge Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, but I like that GBA game, and watched the cool anime (the original series with Yugi, not the new series). Either way, I guess I'll look into it sometime, that music/gameplay video from Alex Kidd you posted in another thread earlier the game looked fun. But I'm good for now, I don't know what other games they make but I doubt half of them will interest me to be honest. :/

Someone doesn't know the Konami code? BAN HIM!

But seriously, I think Ashley needs some work. Her stance is a little awkward and her chin seems too flat.

[Vipershark]

doesn't it go b > a > /select/ > start?

[Gors]

doesn't it go b > a > /select/ > start?

The most used pattern code goes as the images show; however, there are games that use a slightly different pattern, like you said



I'm sticking with the most known one.

I'm sure there are a lot of people on here who don't know the Konami code, and I guess it might seem to you guys like "You've never heard of the Konami code", would be like saying "You've never heard of Nintendo" since you're all big fans and stuff.

But yeah now that I look at it, I kinda hafta agree with him on Ashley's chin. Otherwise I don't see much wrong.

And just to quickly throw this out there, I'm a "her".

[Koopaul]

I was being sarcastic anyway... See this is why I want gender icons!

The palette is a bit odd. The key presses are kind of unnoticeable to me, and it would probably look better if it was kept to the current two-colour palette (either the entire thing is dark except the one direction, or that one direction is dark and everything else is).
