Have you ever drawn a sprite?
nope. i should try sometime but i've always been mediocre with color. makes me wish i had gotten proper art classes growing up.
I need to finish this.
also might take other character suggestions

Not well.

yeah. I do it a lot...but mostly with some limitations like pallets and shit.
I don't really like how chop chop turned out but I did enjoy makin parappa.
All the time, often to make up for my lack of skills in non-sprite drawing.
Yeah
nah, mostly just comics these days

yes, a lot.
for my geimu.
>>340184002
You did a good job with the healer.
yes
I did a few for ss13 but I do regret not learning the fundamentals of art, a lot of the time it's trial and error and instinct, as to clearly knowing what to do. Oh well.
>>340184002
Nice healer (male)
>>340183337
STOP POSTING THIS SHIT AND POST A GAME, I WANT TO SEE A GAME AND NOT IT'S SPRITE MODELS
>>340184450
are any of your sprites in ss13 on any server? or just did some requests?
I was really into spriting at one point.
>>340184314
Why does the main character have more frames of animation?
yeah but really it isn't sprite art it's just using mspaint at a really low resolution.
>>340184905
because he is the most important of all!
>>340184905
The main character gets the better stuff, always
>>340184960

Apparently not important enough to have a original set of armor instead of something lifted from souls.
>>340185850
the main problem, i would say, isn't my understanding of sprite creation or animation
it would be my failure at grasping perspective in art. it's always been a problem for me and it's why i gave up my childhood dream of being an artist as a career.

nice job on the characters, your style reminds me of a friends style
>>340185791
didn't you get the memo?
everything black and white is undershit today
>>340186036
ah yeah, that thing i never use because who uses pepper spray? I've never seen anyone use pepper spray.
still looks good though
>>340186018
Looks pretty damn good but all you have to is study proportions and you'll get better
>>340186018
You're fucking me. I used to do silly sprite animations and even got to the point where I could draw my own stuff.
Perspectives fucked me up.
Made this once for no reason. Figured it might come in useful if I ever learn how to develop a vertical shmup.
>>340183337
Why does this keep happening
>>340186018
it would be nice if i'd actually finish a project with the sprites i make someday though.

>>340186084
well, he is right that it is pretty shitty, everyone else has been posting real sprite art and I just made MSpaint garbage.

This too. I guess this would've been the player.
how do you even learn to do this is you don't know how to draw basic shit

>>340186232

really slow and really steady..

i drew some shitty space ship sprites like 15 years ago
there was this freeware game where you could create your own ship loadouts and also give them custom sprite sheets
>>340186932
but that's how most sprites look, even big fishes like wayforward mirror their sprites
nothing wrong with that, unless they have scars or something like that there's not really a good reason not to mirror

I wanted to make sprite comic, but lost interest shortly. The interest in sprite comics also waned soon after.
Later I thought about getting on this again to make a game, but making something that actually animates takes so much time. And I can't program at all.

I make a bunch for fun, these are some random idles i've pulled from my folders. Most of them are recent from this year or late last year except for the third in the top row, that one a few years old.
I want to get into gamedev so I can apply these to an actual medium instead of them just being stills.
>>340187657
Main Character looks like fuckin' Shaggy.
Made these guys formy game
I used to make sprites all the time when flash and newgrounds were still popular. Haven't done much since. I don't know if drawing with a binary brush with a mouse counts as sprite work but here are all the things I can pull up that was made with MS paint. most of my old spritework is lost in digital space somewhere.
Remember finding this in one of these threads a long time ago, really like it.

When I was younger I did a lot of those poke fusion sprites. I thought they were okay, some were really shitty but I committed to the fusion and didn't give up like I should have.
I don't think I have them saved anymore
Any particular program i can use for making sprites.
I'm thinking of making a "fallout" like game as a pet project.
>>340193808
I remeber When I tried to learn how to sprite, every tutorial con YT was about "how to make pokemon sprite fusions" and "how to make you own sonic OC sprite" etc. good thing that even back in those days I knew that was cancer.

I'm glad I never went into that sonic stuff.
I didn't go around posting on forums with the poke fusions I made them for fun, I think I was able to avoid all the autism it would cause if I joined a group who did that sort of thing
>>340194205
I never made Sonic OCs. I made an ass load of Mega Man OCs, though.
It was kinda dumb but it was also how I taught myself to make sprites in the first place so I've got fond memories of it.

>>340188128
>Literally NO ONE talking about the first meme of the year.
Trully saddens me
my game is going to be so fucking bad.
Why draw sprites in particular when you could just draw normal stuff now that PCs can display stuff at a higher resolution?Is it purely for nostalgia or are people trying to work on 3DS games?
Some sprite artists in this thread, pfft, where's the porn?

When I was like 10 I discovered Newgrounds and VGDC and I got heavily into making/editing game sprites. I remember having a big folder of sprite sheets from various websites. I also did tons of OCDONUTSTEELS like pasting a Yoshi head on a sonic sprite and matching the colors upand then adding a katana to it.

Back in the day (like circa 2003) I used MS paint. It works just fine for pixel art, if not a little clunky. Nowadays, you can use Gimp or PS if you configure the settings right. Or you can use a program specifically for spriting, like Graphics Gale or Aseprite. I've never used Gale but Aseprite is honestly amazing. It's like someone took MS Paint and optimized the shit out of it for spriting. And it's open source so it's free.

No, but I have always wanted to try. What are the best programs to use for creating pixel art?
There's this one trick I used where I use the light and dark grey to make a checkerboard pattern, then use that as a grid, is this unusual?
>>340198630
all according to keikaku
>>340194460
