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
When's Darkstalkers 4?
>>340183337
Not well.

>>340183337
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

A really long time ago I remember making Cave Story mod except all of the characters were in swimsuit sprites
I don't have it anymore, shame
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
>shitty undertale fanart
jesus christ how awful
>>340184682
I think at this point most major codebases who share with /tg/ have my sprites.
>>340185353

yeah, i've been drawing sprites for like 12 years
i've barely gotten any better
>>340185176
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.
the older you get, the harder it is.

There was a time when I did a bit of gen 3 spriting. I'm not an artist though. I think this is one of my better ones though.
>>340186027
>>340186039
>>340186084
well, he is right that it is pretty shitty, everyone else has been posting real sprite art and I just made MSpaint garbage.
>>340186286
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
>>340183337
Yes, a lot.
What the hell is this, though, and why do I keep seeing it posted all over the place?
>>340184683
That's pretty cool.

Tried making tiles, 32x32. I should've done 16x16 insted
>>340186232
thank you. i do study proportions and perspective, and i have gotten better, but it's one of those 'slow and steady' type of deals.
really slow and really steady..
>>340186276
keep going, anon! the true path to success in all walks of life is to never give up!
>>340183337
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
yeah

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.
>>340186930

>>340187657
You need to look up color theory

Gentlemen, we can rebuilt His dong, we have the technology
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.
>>340189268
Yiff in hell furfag

I hate people who use pillow shading like that. I tolerated it when I was younger, but seeing it nowadays really reminds me of days long past.

>>340189338
As intended.
>>340183337

Try this one. It's pretty fun though do note it was unfinished.
Yeah I used to hang out on Pixeltendo and make M&L:SS styled sprites back in 2005
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.
>>340193975
Aseprite is pretty great.

oh
>>340194205
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.

>>340194851
And then people started posting good stuff, so it's all good in the hood.

>>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?

We hide it where you can never find it
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
thanks, I'm no artist but you gotta improvise with something until you have enough for a kickstarter.

Yes, because I work for video games.
Anyone can make sprites though. By the time I was 10 years old I'd already made hundreds. But I never got particularly good at drawing good looking sprites - what sets me apart from the rest of you and lets me make cash off it is that I'm good at animating.

I had a flash of inspiration to make a porn game platformer ryona kind of game yesterday and had most systems in place and then gave up after spending 5 hours trying to make a cute looking main character sprite. I am just no good at art.

it gets the point across but it's not elegant or particularly alluring
i wouldn't hold it against you to use it for a solo project, but it works for someone who doesn't pay someone to do their art

I don't even like the look of it but being worse than vanilla Minecraft sounds nearly impossible. You would have to be specifically trying to be worse to pull it off.

what is that? looks like a weird white demon with a goatee eating confetti
is that what it is? can't think of anything else it could be
>>340205224
It's like you don't know what a budget is. You won't find much better animation with as few frames as my example, and that's what makes it impressive. Indie devs can't afford to pay artists to make a hundred characters with anywhere close to fluid animation.
Here's a more fluid example since you asked nicely. Notice how it instead sacrifices detail and shading.
yes

>>340207415
That looks really good.Are you black, anon?
enlighten me /v/
where does one draw the line between pixel art and regular images/low quality images?
high quality pixel art might as well just be drawings, and every image on a computer is made up of pixels anyway
would destroying the resolution of an image count as making pixel art? or it it purely from scratch filling in a grid?

do you ever wonder why indie folks who pump out shit that looks like yours aren't successful? well maybe MAYBE it's because it looks like shit WOW what a concept

Okay. May I offer you some tips for future reference?
>>340208834

No it doesn't. Good animation does.
But really, why don't you make some really stellar pieces to add to your portfolio? I have no doubt you could make some great shit.

Nah, you're just jealous of me. Few if any indie games I've seen have better animation than what I just posted.
Anyone who knows their shit can tell from my examples that given a higher budget I can make some stunning art, and anyone with half a brain will know that since that's the case I probably already have, and just chose not to post my "best looking stuff".

your art and animations are great, but you're the biggest prick currently alive in this planet
I wouldn't hire you for free
Teach me how to get into sprite art Anons.
gibe some guides pls
>>340210067
You can go the MSpaint route and draw something, then reduce the size, enlarge it, and so on until you get the most basic color pixels, and re-draw it from there.
Or you can go into GiMP and make sprite art the easy way.
>>340208294
Yo, why are there no Sage Sundays anymore? I wanna know how the project is going.

Oh yeah, I also made this after someone in the drawthread wanted a pokemon fight of OoK and the Hunter, but I never did a hunter in the end.
>>340183337
Yeah, based on the original version of that sprite though.
I usually liked to do spells, tilesets, or objects.
>all of these people making professional quality sprites

>>340210471
>tfw you'll never be this modest
>>340209576
You need to work on form and definition. Don't hide your characters under the excuse that it's "retro" by making their resolution abysmal. Try to define more features, and it would help if you sketched them out on paper or in digital form so you can recreate it in pixel form.
That being said, actual older games didn't have nearly as many colors and similar shades, and it doesn't look good, and it's certainly not unique. So many indie games that think they have a good grasp on shading and how to apply these new techniques; use them like clockwork. Using less colors, and a few more contrasting colors and shades, is a very striking and much more visually appealing method, I think. Sprites like yours appear to be, aren't memorable I'm afraid, and it's hard to make out any features at all. There are so many "indiepixel" games out there that use this method and not only does it look cheap but it looks amatuer and disgenuine from what actual "retro" games were like.

How's it going at the moment, many sprites left to be made/improved dramatically?
>>340211526
See, this is why I never post my art. I'm always afraid I'll turn into a dick about it like this asshole.
>>340211498
I can get away with mediocre stills for the most part. Finding a coder to help me with small shit I'd like to try is the biggest hurdle I've faced.
I also like to dick with sprites for Terraria, but I've never been able to get far enough to do a full-scale modwhich i have an entire document written up for.
>>340212227
I think merely having the awareness to say you don't want to be like them already makes you better.
Thats a cute Morrigan.
>>340211526
I agree with you completely that modesty is retarded, or at least people tend to have and expect way too much of it, and should be more self aware about their own skill and not afraid to say it.
But your post before this one, saying others are jealous of you, is what makes you a huge faggot.
>>340211436
very good tips, thank you
I did draw the character before doing the sprite work but like I said, I'm not an artist
the shitty low resolution of the sprites I posted are really due to the fact that I can't draw good
>>340212227
I wouldn't worry about it. I'd be more worried about posting something actually worthwhile which is why I usually hold off posting anything. I don't really have any sprite work though so I couldn't contribute to the thread anyways and I'm too lazy to post a traditional animation since that's all I have besides 3d stuff
guess I can at least post a failed attempt at an achievement image. That's somewhat relevant.

Not long ago I discovered a single bitmap file hidden away on a old burned CD. Turns out it was from 2004. It contained the humble beginnings of what was to be my sprite comic, at age 14. It was just a shitty Megaman edit, but I can't help to wonder why the hell I saved it on a CD, with no other files.
LMAO! I was going to post the shit sprite I had made, but I just noticed be that I didn't save it when I formatted my computer! Took me days to finish that thing and now I not only lost as I lost the entire project as well

You're very welcome. Hopefully those tips can help you and anyone else who cares to listen out, and help create some much better sprites for peoples' games out there.
And I had a feeling you'd say you sprited her like that because you can't draw. You're either going to have to get someone who can, or push yourself to learn how to. Tro to give your character a face and definition, but also try making your sprite larger so you have the space to do that. Understand?

How should I start to leant to draw and Sprite art? I don't have enough money for that book on Amazon the /ic/ guide mentioned and they don't have it in the library.
>>340216715
its got good 'art' maybe but it's not good 'pixel art'
like most indie games, they seem to be made by people with no experience in the craft so even if it looks good from a distance the pixels are all placed roughly and haphazardly
like look at those rocks in the water, they just look like scribbles

Basically mecha - the world. As a robot with no memories (this fella right here), you journey on a quest to find yourself, meet interesting characters to join you, and maybe find the answer to some of the mysteries of the world.
For example, where did all the humans go?
Would you play this if it had earthbound-style (bog-standard) combat?
>>340218146

>>340218613
Good pixel art in the past was limited by screen resolution. This is no longer the case. Why bother running a good hand drawing through a pixelization filter if the technology's good enough to render the original drawing anyway?
This is why all the pixel art you see nowadays is minimalist and flat. If that's not what you want to do, then you shouldn't be handicapping your resolution to begin with.

I'm a sucker for rich, simplistic colors, so the original one is better.
One of the best ways to learn how to sprite is to edit pre-existing bases. It helps teach you about structure and when you're comfortable and ready to move on you look at tutorials and start to make your own sprites.
If all those Deviantart/Smackjeeves sonicsprite fags ever applied themselves they could really make some neat things.

>What's the difference between pixel art and art made with the pencil tool in photoschop/ms paint?
That's generally called oekaki. The difference generally comes down to the restrictions and resolution you limit yourself to.
