How I make Characters

[Lauli]

Oh wow, I wonder how that fusion character would play like :)
This thread is full of amazing things anyways!

[Whaat]

a fusion of darius and clide, for fun... i made it using trickity's tut. still the result isnt satisfying me :/

Maybe cuz he doesn´t have neck xp ?

Can this be moved to tut section? And, i get nice outcomes trick. Great job. and dont forget to answer my question, explain more about that magic wand tool.

It's okay here as well,nice walkthrough Trick,this a good way for spriting and I should definitely try it out.

seriously??! what more can explain?? i mean after you finish the sheet and re size it simpy set the magic wand's tolerance from 14 to 16 (ur choice) and click with it on the black area so it will select everything (everything but the character frames) and hi the DEL button and your done... no more dirty black pixels...

hi guys i haven't been on for a while. I'll answer some questions and add some input.

@firzenx- I think PF answered this pretty well. I have the actual sheet 400% bigger then normal. magic wand and then delete. there should be another layer of black under. I like to also have a bright blue or red layer to see if there are any weird pixels anywhere.

@PF- those characters look awesome. I Like to draw over an existing character to get the proportions right if that helps. I also think showing just the bare chest is hard to create a good looking neck because the chest ends up blending with the face. I like the fusion the colors are really awesome and work pretty well. Also thanks for answering some questions.

@whaat- I use a table that I got for christmas laster year using the mouse is also important, I use both at the same time.

@DH- looks cool, the expressions on the face doesn't really show though and the proportion doesn't look correct. I helps to draw on top of a original sprite to mimic the proportions.

Also yeah I think this might need to be moved to the Tut section since that makes more sense.

Big

Small.

And, for the small one, will black pixels show up during game if it is like the one above?

[Trickityhouses]

there will always be some black pixels, but I think it is fine because the originals have black pixels too.

This is a great tutorial
Though, wouldnt it take AGES to do whole sprite sheets? Its a good method for breathing sprites, but its hard to sprite the same character exactly at 400%
Thanks for the PSD's though, i find them interesting to study
