Promethe Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi, name's Promethe, I have no idea what I'm doing. It's not cleaned yet, I want get a good grasp of the shapes first, but I got into a big ol' mess this week. I started mashing gen4 battle sprites together at the speed of mach 4 to make a base for my reborn oc-do-not-steal.™ Naturally, when given the chance I draw a non-binary twunk. Gardenia's arm looks fine with gloves, but I need to change the shading else it'll look weird as only skin (see pic#2). The other thing is Byron's forearm. Not that smacking people with a shovel isn't a respectable sport but my character's an ex-ranger, nor a miner. I guess it'd look cool with a staff or sword but 1. why and 2. I'm not that edgy (I think huuh). I guess I could just put a briefcase or a medical kit so the silhouette's still readable?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promethe Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just a small update, I finally got around playing with the sprite! It's a bit more readable now, though I need to clean the art line... and redo the coat and hair... narrow down the palette... *sigh* That medkit is MIA, I'm still not sure about that. There's a lot missing, but I feel like the clothes are still off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthprisonpanopticon Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 looks cool so far! i'd go with the medkit- i think it'll give the sprite a nice balance. i think what you're missing with the clothes, though moreso with the hair, is dimension. adding 1 or 2 more darker greys would make it more defined. same goes for the orange on the sweater, since it's all pretty light unrelated, but how'd did you make that trainer banner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A metric-ton of layers. Also, thanks for your feedback Dallas! I'll git gud with the shading, it's still a bit of a mess. Loooooong version, I made this with Krita, which is essentially Photoshop but free. It's not made for spriting, but with a couple tweaks it's pretty good! (Like using a grid, creating pixel brushes, disabling anti-aliasing for the wand and enabling fast mode for the bucket, things like that.) The pokémon & items I ripped from Reborn's graphic folder. Anything else, I got it from The Spriters Resource Except the UI, which is ripped and edited from a PNG which traces back to the pokecharms site. The glow effect is really just a gaussian blur. The text is just the GBA-style font from dafont, I think? Lastly the character is Decibel's design re-tweaked, with some concept art I posted on reddit.

earthprisonpanopticon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 oh wow! i thought it might've just been a site or something, but that must've taken a lot of work, jeez. it looks pretty professional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Legend Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The sprites are pretty good! I'm working on spriting myself, for my 2 fan games I'm working on. I'm pretty bad, which is why I have a partner, and she's really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
