tjhiry29's Sprites

[tjhiry29]

I did this randomly... I was bored and it was my first crack at it. BTW I'm using paint so it is really.. well.. bad.

I just realized... his left hand looks kinda warped when he's holding the sword....

I hope you see this...

now blaming paint is uncalled for.
paint is good, especially if you know how to use it.
see, i can do this with paint:


my advice, there are plenty of tutorials on the forums and on the main site, so practice
here is one to start you of with paint:

Yay for Alec bringing up the paint rep!


And, if I'm going to put criticisms in, I'm going to say:
Proportions - your picture lacked them all tj.
Colours are too bright, I've been told off for this plenty of times.
No shading involved - you need it.

I believe, Alec told you the way forwards: Tutorials. I'll give you another step:
Premade bases.

maybe you'll reach this third step:
Alec's premade sprite bases!

Got to try a bit harder mate, but good luck to you. Enjoy.


P.S:
This post also in the completely wrong section. As you can imagine from the title: Sprite goes in.... the sprite section, not the projects.

Could a Mod move this into sprites please? For purpose of clearing up the forum. Thank you Mods!

Ok so here is my new version... took me awhile paint followed the tut looks kinda odd, but I did my best.

So take a look sorry that you have to download it again..

Hm.
Two things.
If you resize it, make sure the sprites comes back to a 79x79 resolution, and not something smaller.
Use a black background. LF2 sprites also have a black background.

[tjhiry29]

So i'm not too sure how to make it a 79x79 resolution right now I'm just testing things randomly atm. But if anyone knows could they please help me?

in paint, there are little dots on the edges of the image.
you can click and drag these out, and there is a thing down in the bottom right corner of paint, that tells you how big it is, depending that you put you mouse on the bottom right hand corner of the image itself. so it was suggested 79x79 in lf2 sprites, which is the same as 79,79 in paint.


if you dont think you have the mouse control to get 79,79 exactly, what you can do is shrink it to a small box (anywhere smaller that 79,79) and then copy and paste this box onto it and paint should automatically resize it for you:

OR you just set the pics size to 79x79 via the menu bar ^^
(Though i cant tell you, WHICH menu exactly... at least not the english menu name)

[tjhiry29]

Ah, okay thanks guys.
This looks really bad now... considering the resize got kinda messed but.. here it is.

You know, I still wonder why you use paint all the time. There's GIMP, there's PhotoFiltre, there's xyz out there and you still work off your butt with that program. I really cannot understand it.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend that you start of with basic char-edits such as copying Deep's head onto Henry's body, for example. Then, you can go on drawing your own chars while still using a base / some references. Please don't tell us "not even a single reference used" because in the end, a reference will make your work a lot better. Only (and I repeat only) when you're accustomed to lf2-spriting you can move on to drawing sprites from scratch. Beforehand, I'd strongly avoid it. Just a few general tips.
