Mabelma's sprites

[JosephSeraph]

Pure gray is crap. at least for nature.... use a more broenish, or bluish, depending on dirnyness.

I made an edit. can you see where one shade stops and other begins?
no? that´s a good thing, mostly ^^'
I added two shades of greyish blue. it looks and feels more natural. also note i sprayed dots. but not randomly. i did this manually, and to prove that, i´ve made some perceptible irregularities on the stone. you cannot shade like you do... you need to avail other sprites´ method of shading, and try to mimicize...

BTW, what i did in the outline only works on light backgrounds.

What does dirnyness mean?
But is the texture good?
I'll fix the colors don't worry.
I made a grass tile that looks awesome.
I'll show it to you guys later.

[JosephSeraph]

i meant dirTyness XP
no, nature is more random, remember that.... Have you played RPG maker games whose rivers were exacty a straight line? that feels wrong right? you should randomize more your shadings, -especially- on natural surfaces.

take a peek at these stones: they´re natural feeling! he acctually sprayed pixels many times, and tried to imitate real-life patterns...

[Mabelma]

Thanks for the example bro I love how realistic it looks.
Can I use it has an example for my next sprites?
By the way here's the grass tile.

[JosephSeraph]

i like the grass tile, but take care with how it merges with earth below it or it will end looking like lime.
And. i made that rock for you, do whatever you want with it ^^

[Mabelma]

Thanks Anyways here's a fence I did like 5 minutes ago using your rock as a ref.

[JosephSeraph]

You forgot the direction of the horizontal planks ^^

[Mabelma]

Woah I'm a bit stupid.
LOL
Anyways here's a little mockup but it's missing well the sky and the background.

[JosephSeraph]

Nice! kinda skinny to put any characterin it but i don´t think you will... besides that, i liked it ^^
just one thing... on the fence... is this blood or roses?

[Mabelma]

Thanks Joseph but I think that the tiles are too small to fit in a 550*500 screen for my game and I also think that I'm in need of a good character instead of the skull cause the skull is too small.
I was thinking of making the skull my main character and when he got to a certain level he could transform into a lvl two skull and he could have hands and on the 3 lvl e'll have a complete body.

[JosephSeraph]

so i think he may have floating unlinked feets or at least a phantom thingsies on the place of the medulla

[Mabelma]

What do you mean by phantom thingsies?
I was thinking of having him bouncing and then he transforms and thinks like that.

[JosephSeraph]

i can´t really explain.... like... an ectoplasm body... torso... not like he jumping with his skull like billi&mandy´s reaper does when he loses his body, lol

[Mabelma]

He could float instead of jumping and the ectoplasmic torso could be he's second form and his third is ht he complete ecto body.
I'm fixing some of my games so don't expect new sprite right now.
Please.

I see you're getting better at antialiasing [:
