Pixel I'm a spriter

Those characters are lovely

I think it's sad that these take so long to make, that's probably the main deterrent for people to pump out cool stuff like this.

 

To my knowledge, they take a horribly long time to make

 

Animated sprites ye. Making every single frame different and more frames, the better it looks.

Since he never posted the finished version of my request here, let me do it for him:



Pretty damn amazing

 

Oh hey

I've been taking a break from the spriting and animating after literally spriting for 3-4 days straight. I'm also currently working on a longer animation made up of several characters at once, along with the other requests I've gotten.

So yeah. just taking my sweet time with things right now.

I won't be posting much of them until the big animations as well as everyone else's requests are done. It'll be a good little surprise C:

If anyone cares, I have another project where my main focus in spriting and artwork is going to. These starbound sprites are just some side projects I'm doing to help me get better in spriting. My more important primary project is http://extrahp.wordpress.com/projects/black-crystal-the-animation/

 

I don't blame ya dude, you should take your sweet time
Also, Black Crystal is looking good too

 

So while I'm taking a while from spriting, I made a different kind of art. I tried to make my own style of coloring this time.


I-it wasn't me! It was already dead when I got here...

 

"Adorable"

 

Why do all florans have to be such ad dangerous creatures? :C

 

What are you talking about, she's clearly innocent! hehe

oh, my friend made a wallpaper out of this. enjoy

such a cute little floran it seems, with her blue colored flower, and innocent eyes its hard to imagine that such a little one could slaugther the fauna~
kehkehkehkeh~

 

Pretty awesome stuff, dood! With all the Floran love, it makes me wonder how many people die loving a floran?

 

They do like to eat flesh from what I've heard...

 

Hey there, just wanna start off by saying that I was very impressed by your animations. They are fantastically well done.

Anyways, I found myself getting bored one night so I took my favorite animation of yours, took one frame, and turned it into a 1000x1000 picture complete with shading and smooth lines. I hope you don't mind me posting this in your thread. http://i.imgur.com/gwgsWu1.png

 

Dang.. if the sprites were like this for the entire game, it would be a whole other level of epic.

 

May I ask how you did the line smoothing? This might come VERY handy for future spritework!

 

Awesome! I love these.

 

By line smoothing, I mean that I went over it with a the pen tool on its own layer in Photoshop. The process for doing the lines alone took me a couple of hours. If you aren't familiar with the tool (assuming you have photoshop) then there are plenty of tutorials that can be found online that explain how to use it

But essentially I made vectors into the lines and shapes that I wanted, recreating the lineart and making it smooth.

 

if your still doing requests can you do my character? he usually uses guns and enjoys the danger of using flame weapons, and enjoys ssstabing ssspears. he also dresses in human clothes, reads about hylotl culture (yes he can read... kinda ) and hates the trash men (glitches). he will also board avian airships and ssstab the birdmen on board for there loot.

 

Man, those animated battle sprites.
