Tinkering with in-game sprites for personal use.

[Manes]

So turns out the backsprite is going to be a lot easier than I had realized; there's a backsprite of a guy in a suit. All I gotta do is trace that and do my work.

Now to find out what to do about the bangs...

...WELP. I need to resize that sprite. It's too big for use ingame. And resizing sprites is never a clean-cut job...

I've got a question for Amethyst: Do the animated backsprites follow a strict spacing rule, or is it a divisible-by-x thing like with the overworld sprites?

I'm asking because I wound up resizing some sprites, but they're still rather wide, so...

[Amethyst]

i do not know to be honest!

i just used the template provided and didn't mess with the sizing/spacing so that I knew it would work. But, I would assume that it's a particular size with a nonspecific amount of frames. To see what that size is, I suggest checking the size of your partner back sprites.

*guessing*

Also, yeah, the canon protagonist names are Vero and Alice

[Manes]

Alright, thanks.

Never got to say, good job on the male backsprites. It's gonna take me an edit of a recolor of a resize to beat that.

I'm serious, too:

Resizes are never clean-cut, either. They require an edit, too.

So it's an edit of a recolor of an edit of a resize.

EDIT:

Yo... help with shading the hair?

So I went through all of this topic and I thought, "Hey, this looks fun! Lemme try!"

This is all I've done in two hours with the VS portrait (I was tired after coming home from a park, so I used the male sprite to start with)

Tried giving him some Blue on his hair to correspond with the colors of shiny umbreon. Plus, I like blue. Then I gave him that white jacket. For my first time editing sprites, I don't think I did too bad of a job.

I also tried to make an over world sprite. Needless to say, I'll never finish it.

[Manes]

The saturation of blue is a little too high, in my opinion.

[The Radiant Aeon]

The saturation of blue is a little too high, in my opinion.

Hmm.. I thought so too when I first made it. But I wanted to keep it. (More or less because I wanted to sleep a little after I finished the hair.)

[Manes]

So this continues to prove to require more detailing than a simple recolor. I can't figure out what's wrong with the hair, nor can I figure out what to do about the jacket's folds or... stuff...

I just survived a depressive episode. I need sleep. =_o

[Manes]

Fucking.

Fucking.

Fuck.

If anyone wants to do something more with this, be my guest.

[Manes]

...it's done. At last.

...well, I haven't tested it yet, admittedly. But I'm nervous about this.

...LOL I FORGOT THE VS SPRITE.

AND THERE IS A FILE UPLOAD LIMIT.

AHAHAHA kill me now

I think it looks great!

[Manes]

So I found a bug in play with the walking sprites. I'll re-upload.

EDIT: So.

This friend of mine.

Keiang, right?

He redid the VS sprite for me.

And it's fantasticamazing.

How do you get a custom in-game sprite? Or rather, where do I go to make it?

[Tempest]

You have to find one or make one in a program like photoshop.

[SheepMilks]

Ive actually tried making my own but after resizing them they messed up ;wwww;

How do you guys do this????

[SheepMilks]

I also have this which I edited ;w;

[freefire137]

Yeah, It's a good idea, but a ton of work, especially to look good when you move. I personally have done it too
