[Mike] REQUEST CHARACTER SPRITES HERE!

[Lopom]

Mmmk listen up, i'm new to the forums, so i'm planning on earning a reputation for myself.

I'm a spriter, request a sprite i'll make it.

I do not play the computer 24/7 so it won't be done immediately, but as soon as i get the chance, it's yours.

Here's the request format i would kindly ask you to follow.


Sex:
Male or Female.

Description:
i.e
-Clothing
-Colours
-Detail
-Accessories

Background of the character:
Example: Lives in the forest, is at one with nature and can use natural spells.
(This helps me to get a feel of the end product, sounds stupid but it helps)

I take spriting quite seriously a decent one can take me between 10-30 minutes.


Example(Using my format):

Sex:
- Male

Description:
- Wears cyan robes with long sleeves almost reaching the floor.
- Green hair, wild and like leaves.
- Detail in the shading.
- Holding a birch stick with a leaf at the top.

Background of the character:
- Lives in the forest, is at one with nature and can use natural spells.

OK, and now i get to make it.

-Edit, ok heres what i do, i make a character reference, from what you asked for, above you saw what i asked for, I create a character profile, which would look something like this:


This is a simple looking one, not brilliant i admit, did on paint its just a demo, you can also give me a reference picture for me to sprite from.
I didnt do a head on this one, simply because it was too early and i couldn't find my custom head folder. :]
This took me around 20 minutes, it's something i do to help me.
ill maybe start doing the actual sprite when i get some time later today.

OK, Request please.

[Aqua]

You should post examples and estimated time that you'd take to do the sprites.

[Lopom]

OK so, i decided to give you a slightly better demonstration of what i do, here is a character image:

Spoiler: ShowHide

This is what i started with reference to this.

This is what i ended up making, this is face on ofcourse:


Totally custom.
OK, this isn't one of my best i have to admit, but it's alright. you get the general idea.

[Subsonic_Noise]

yay, first request xD
I'd like a sprite of the main character of my game (Endzeit).
As I told you, the sprite should be about 1.5 times the size of a regular rtp character.
For reference, look at roseskyes sprites. (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/TokyoAngel/Lilidya-2.png)

Sex:
Male

Description:
-wears a black coat
-has black hair and blue eyes
-wears a hand gun on a belt
-I'd like a sprite of him without is mouth covered and one with some sort of gas mask (but a minimalistic one, lol)

Reference:

Faceset: ShowHide

Shitty sprite: ShowHide

Background of the character:
Well this is hard to say because we didn't finish the story yet, but it's a postapocalyptic setting, so a few things are futuristic, but not that "hightech". The main character escaped from the underground city where he and the other survivors lived in because he was sentenced to death and now lives on the surface again where he forms a group to bring down the dictator who controls the underground city.
This is all we have so far.
I know this doesn't sound really awesome, but that's because I fail at storytelling. xD

Also, this is a veeeery early demo of what my game's graphics will look like:

Spoiler: ShowHide

See how the regular rtp sprites just don't fit in? (Just ignore that tank, it looks shitty xD)
I won't using the 3d script in the end, btw. Just use this for general style reference.

[Lopom]

ok then ill get right on with it.


ALSO:

Did another sprite example, this one i dont consider to be all that great if im honest, looks worse then druid:

Reference:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Outcome:


I do these sprites without weapons too.
See it's not brilliant but its k ;p

[Subsonic_Noise]

Thanks^^
I edited my post with some additional details which are quite important, please check again xD
Also, I leveled you up in advance, so you should better do a good job

[Lopom]

That's fine, i open the image and it has a black background though, have you uploaded it with transparent background?

[Subsonic_Noise]

Yeah, I did, lol.
Do you want to use this one as a template? I would prefer if you wouldn't, lol, because it's really shitty.
Or do you just need it for reference?

[Aqua]

I like how you rip people's works off of dA...
?

Anyway... you should add the examples to your first post.
And spoiler them; you're breaking rules by not doing so.

[Blizzard]

LMAO! When I saw the first elf, I was going to post this:

And of course all elves have large boobs.

But I changed my mind. And right after you prove me wrong with the second elf. xD

[Lopom]

sorry, i wasnt under the impression i was rule breaking, and i wouldn't call it ripping their work, i'm simply borrowing it to sprite. im not claiming the actual artwork to be my own, only the sprite and simply for demonstrating.

[Blizzard]

No, don't worry, it was just a comment by me. xD

[Aqua]

9. Images should always be put in [spoiler] tags. Some people have dial-up or limited bandwidth. Exception are smaller images (by filesize, not by dimensions!) and logos from companies and/or game projects and/or forums (i.e. in the advertising section) and some other special cases where the information is actually on the image (images with lots of text).

You're breaking this one...

[Lopom]

My appologies, i would have done, but i can't say ive been on forums that have a Spoiler function so i don't know how to do it.

@Subsonic - For your sprite, i need a better pic, current has a black background when i open on paint.net

And why don't you spoiler them for him?

I think this rule has turned a bit subjective now that Blizzard has a better server that can handle larger images...? (I believe) Something like this was only because our bandwidth was ridiculously small (000webhost).

Wow, nice style! Those sprites are pretty nice looking. ^^

[Subsonic_Noise]

Theeere you go, I filled the background with a slightly disturbing shade of green xD

Spoiler: ShowHide

But the clothes are wrong on this one, so please only use it for general reference.
And thanks for taking my request, btw xD

[Aqua]

Because I had to go eat and spoilering would add an extra t(p) = p^2 + 25p +1 seconds for each post that I edit...
?

Nah...
If I did it for him... he might not have learned.

[Lopom]

Thanks starrod. ;]

and im doing ur request at the moment sub, i admit i havent attempted character sizing but well see.

It has nothing to do with a better host for CP. It's about the viewers. If people didn't respect the spoiler rule, I'd have trouble browsing CP right now (I'm on a slow connection). So keep spoilering them all.

[Lopom]

OK, this is the best i could do i want to know if you think this is good enough Sub.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Sorry it couldn't be better, I'm used to smaller sprite making.

[Subsonic_Noise]

OK, this is the best i could do i want to know if you think this is good enough Sub.

Spoiler: ShowHide

open it in paint or summit.

Sorry it couldn't be better, i honestly have never done this before ;p

Well, it's good for the first draft, but there are some things to criticize:
- The placement of the eyes looks wierd, but i have no clue how to fix that.
- the hair also looks a bit strange, too xD
- could you make the coat a bit longer? Not as long as the ones in matrix (lol), but still, perhaps 3-5   
  pixels?
Then it just needs some more shading and details and it'll be awesome xD

[Lopom]

all the things you said were the things i thought looked bad, i originally had the coat like a trench coat, but decided you wanted to be able to see the belt, so i raised it to see the belt, i agree ill give it another shot, it's real hard for me, but practise makes perfect, how do you want the eye?

I actually have no clue how the eye should be, lol. Just leave them as they are if you can't find a position that looks better.
But, thanks so far^^

[Lopom]

Sorry double post, but here is the newest one i added more shading lowered the jacket by 2 or three pixels, hopefully sorted hair and eyes:

Spoiler: ShowHide

[Subsonic_Noise]

hopefully sorted hair and eyes

You absolutely did! It looks awesome so far. Just some parts look a bit pillow shaded, and the mouth kinda has a strange color, but these are things that can be fixed^^
thanks^^

[Orici]

[Lopom]

hopefully sorted hair and eyes

thanks^^

indeed it was just to represent where the mouth would go, pillow shading meaning box shades right?

@Orici, ofcourse, ill see what i can come up with, if not tonight then i will tommorrow.

[Subsonic_Noise]

pillow shading meaning box shades right?

I think so, lol.

[Lopom]

Done your sprite Orici. how does it look to you?

Spoiler: ShowHide

Didn't add a sword just incase you wanted to equip different ones. how is it?

[Orici]

It looks great but the face looks likes he's too young in my opinion.Can you make it look older?

[Lopom]

ofcourse i can. ill have it done later, i have to go to work.
