Title: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: Darklink45 on July 09, 2012, 09:14:04 am
Well It's me, again...again.
So I've been lurking for some time now, and I've decided to make a new topic... but you see this one is different, because I will update it with whatever I make (ala Master Yoshi, Leduardo, etc.) just not mainly focusing on Zelda, tho the topic will have a lot of Zelda :)

-Majora's Mask Characters (FSA)

-REMAKES
Show content
This is a little project I've been wanting to make a long time ago: I want to remake all of my old sprites (well not all of them). Because thanks to mainly this website, I've been able to evolve in to the spriter I am today, for that I am grateful, and some of these sprites do show their age(even before they were made). So I'll be posting all of the sprites in this first page, but any comment I make over some of the sprites (I will make a few) will be in it's respective post... So let's begin:
P.S. the first one is the original and the second one is the new one.
-Link (2006)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/firstlink_orig.png)
This was the first sprite I ever made, a Link I tried to copy by looking directly at my GBA (playing Minish Cap),
back in 2006.And as you can clearly see, it looks horrible... So I made him better by obviously adding shadow,
a lot more detail and custom palette.


-Link (contest)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/scndlink_orig.png)
new:(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5119/ganon2.png)

-Ganon (ZFGC style)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/ganon_orig.png)

-Tower
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/tower_orig.png)

-SBB characters (Mother 3)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/smash_orig.png)

-Wind Waker characters (Minish Cap)
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/5119/ganon2.png)

Well I hope you can keep coming back for updates :)

Well another topic full of entire users graphics should be very interesting. I love seeing all of the different styles and approaches :).

Your new sprite is much better, however it does seem much more like a Minish Cap  / FS sprite as opposed to a GB sprite, which was the goal of the original was it not?

Actually no, I tried to literally copy the MC Link from a GBA screen, since I didn't know what shading was I didn't add any, so It may look like a GB sprite  :P

-Link (contest)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/scndlink_orig.png)
I made this for a contest back in 2008, I kind of like it, but the colors are bland,
his soulless face is kind of strange. So i made the color pop out more, I did a major edit on
the face to make him look kind of scared, and made his arms and legs less stiff.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: thestig on July 10, 2012, 02:06:19 am
Dang. The Link on the right is pretty good! The one on the left has derpface going on.. if the face was touched up, then it would look alright. I can see what you were going for there, but idk. Haha.

Definitely a huge improvement in just a two years time though. :) Do you have these in sheets? Dude post more!
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: MaJoRa on July 10, 2012, 05:34:50 am
That second link is amazing, the sort of quality Nintendo's graphics team put out... very very impressed! Excellent work, truely.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: Darklink45 on July 11, 2012, 05:27:07 am
Thank's for the comments :)
Well since the original contest Link comes from a sheet with bad animations, I plan to animate the new one as well, but just not now, since I want to finish the remakes first.

-Ganon (ZFGC style)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/ganon_orig.png)
Also from 2008, for the ZFGC style a few years back. I don't think
the original looks bad, the only thing I did was clean him up, made
him more ripped, and flipped his nose. I'm actually really satisfied with
both of them (tho of course I like the new one better).
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: Darklink45 on July 13, 2012, 08:47:58 pm
-Tower
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/tower_orig.png)
I did this for a castle, since this was the only interesting part of the
whole castle, I decided to remake it. Of course I added more depth and
more detail.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: MaJoRa on July 14, 2012, 03:40:02 pm
The tower is awesome. I'd love to see the rest of the castle re done.

Yeah, I want to do it, but I'll have to redesign it completely for it to look good :P

-SBB characters (Mother 3)
(http://fadedled.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/6/8/4468372/smash_orig.png)
Done in 2008. Here I have a bunch of the Smash characters in the
mother 3 style. I made every character look better, major changes:
Fox,DK: made their faces more recognizable.
Link: changed his design from WW to OOT (because it's SSB).
Capt. Falcon: Deflated him.
Yoshi: Changed his human-like body.

Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: Darklink45 on July 21, 2012, 01:26:09 am
I really appreciate the comments guys!

So this is my last remake:
-Wind Waker characters (Minish Cap)
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/5119/ganon2.png)
Done in 2008. These were the first wind waker characters I did,
I know that I made Tetra's pirate crew also and some others, but
these were the ones that started it all. Anyway I just made them
look better especially on Lenzo (yellow dude).


So what comes after this? Well I want continue past projects Like:
-Wind Waker characters (Minish Cap style)
-Majora's Mask characters (FSA Link style)
-Twilight Princess characters (Minish Cap style)

Also I will animate the contest Link, finish the castle aanndd I don't know if I should animate the SSB characters. Anyway thank you for taking your time to view my progress throughout the years, now it's time for new content :)
P.S. Should I put some spoilers to separate each project? Just to make the main post not look as long.

Hmm... that Zunari sprite looks very familiar... :)

Hmm... that Zunari sprite looks very familiar... :)
Yes of course :) I think you used him for your MC styled Items.

So I kinda finished the contest link's walking cycle:
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5738/linkss.gif)
the only thing left is to animate his hair and cap. He is a little slow since I don't know how to animate GIFs...
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5119/ganon2.png)
Here's the sheet, I made him stick out his hand so he can grab his shield.

Hope you like  :P

Post by: Darklink45 on August 03, 2012, 08:50:53 am
Some great news, I finally started with the MM and TP sprites, all of these are for Link, I just updated them.
(http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/5119/ganon2.png)
Here I cleaned Deku Link's sprite, the FSA Link is the real FSA Link, just put him there for
It to look complete, for Zora Link I definitely improved his stance and face, and for Goron Link
I Made him a LOT smaller and made him clearer. Bellow is a size comparison.

(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5119/ganon2.png)
Here I just changed the colors, cleaned every sprite, elongated his face when facing south,
and made them one pixel shorter.


Just some things I want to say:
-For these (and other sprites) I will try to follow every rule of the original style so it could fit in with no problem.
-I haven't finished the Wind Waker ones so expect them soon ;)
-Every sprite (except for the originals) has/will have the right color pallet for no confusion (because of this, the FSA ones will have to wait some time for me to get every color I can).
-I will continue the contest Link and the castle, don't give up hope.
-I edited the main page for better organization, tell me if you like it, post some suggestions.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: MaJoRa on August 03, 2012, 09:06:08 am
I think the Goron link is the biggest improvement here, the shading and use of colour is just so much better! Aside from that, my favourite is the Deku Scrub Link, I think that looks just awesome, would love to see it animated.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic

Wow! Very impressive! Very nice sprites, Darklink.

Nice man.
But make the animations too.

Post by: thestig on August 03, 2012, 07:04:32 pm
Those are very clean! And good job on keeping things organized.. too many people are lazy these days and build sprite sheets by just slapping sprites anywhere they want. =\

Nice man, liking the zora ike sprite.  XD
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic

Yeah! the head of zora is the best.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: Darklink45 on August 10, 2012, 04:58:29 am
Thanks for the great response from all of you, I really appreciate it.
I finished, some of the Wind Waker characters:
(http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/5119/ganon2.png)
Nudge and Gonzo where the ones that gave me the most trouble (especially the eyes), while Aryll was the easiest.
I'm actually not very satisfied with Nudge's face, if anyone wants to edit it feel free to do so.
 
Now, I finished TP link's walking animation... really simple :P

And for MM, I finished the directions for every transformation, right now I have finished Deku Link's walking cycle and his spin attack.
If anyone could give me a list of every animation for all transformations, I would really appreciate that, since I think I will be forgetting some of them.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: SpritingBrad on August 11, 2012, 05:26:12 pm
Maybe you could do Deku link flying and getting into a deku flower and shooting bubbles.

Yes of course, those are pretty obvious, but I need a whole list for every transformation (including fierce deity), also animations for items, and such.
Just so I don't miss any ;)

Post by: SpritingBrad on August 12, 2012, 01:14:49 pm

Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: SpritingBrad on August 12, 2012, 04:14:46 pm
maybe you could do goron link roling, punching and playing drums.
zora link swiming and playing the guitar.
deku link playing the deku pipes.
oni link attacking and white sparks of the attacks.

Thank's a lot guys, I think you forgott when they pick up objects (like pots).
Also, does Deku Link blink? Because Goron, Zora and Oni do.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic
Post by: Kienamaru on August 13, 2012, 09:10:49 am
Actually Deku Link CAN'T PICK UP ITEMS LIKE POTS.  and I do believe he does Blink.

Those are all mine (except the deku flowers), those where the old ones, and the animations aren't that well made, the newer ones are definitely better :)

Post by: Koh on August 16, 2015, 04:32:30 pm
Damn, those graphics are amazing!  Such nice coloring and detail!  Better than anything Nintendo probably would've done theirself!  The only suggestion I have is to make Link's design more like his artwork for that game, for his outfit and his hair color (should be a light brown there).  Other than that, I'd say this is near perfect!  Also, the sparkles were missing when Link picked up the Full Moon Cello.
Title: Re: Darklink45's graphics topic

I pretty much loved it, what style are the graphic? is it Four Swords art style?

Thank you guys for the feedback! It might be my biggest Zelda proyect ever (in terms of work of course).

The only suggestion I have is to make Link's design more like his artwork for that game, for his outfit and his hair color (should be a light brown there).  Other than that, I'd say this is near perfect!  Also, the sparkles were missing when Link picked up the Full Moon Cello.
I thought he was blond in this game. Yeah, I noticed the lack of sparkles after uploading the video, and I also forgot that the instruments change color.

I pretty much loved it, what style are the graphic? is it Four Swords art style?
For Link I would call it a mesh between MC and the Gameboy games. As for the backgrounds, those are completley custom, using LTTP and LA as reference (since they are similar).

I added an image where you can see the versions of Link, and some other Links.

I thought he was blond in this game.
The infamous LA Link artwork piece~ 
(http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/awakening.jpg)
It's like an orange brown here.  He's only bananna blonde in the toon Link games, and OoT and MM.

As for your other Link renditions, pretty good C:  Gotta love fabulous purple-pink hair Link~

Depending on the scanning and monitor :p

(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/b/b2/Characters_(Link's_Awakening).png/revision/latest?cb=20100508210557)

Plus technically it's the same Link in ALTTP as in Link's Awkening and the Oracles according to the silly official timeline. I think it's all a little silly, honestly :p

But more importantly, are you saying Link was a ginger for a game!? We should add in freckles!

Yeah, that was a good game.

So I'm continuing the Majora's Mask Characters in FSA style. Below I attached the main ones and the ones you find in various places in Termina. Kaepora Gaebora and Tingle already have FSA sprites, but I don't really liked them that much so I edited them.

Post by: Darklink45 on September 06, 2015, 12:28:12 am
Thanks Sprit! I don't think I'll animate them, making the stand alone sprites is enough work as it is.

Now I made the Southern Swamp characters, nothing important to add I belive.

I really love your color choices, the amount of contrast looks good and adds a good amount of depth, and I guess just the feel from the colors is very nice. I dig it :D

That's FSAs palette for ya, really simple but quite dynamic :)

I made the Snowhead characters, not a lot of specific ones there, but Zubora and Gabora make up for it.

Hi everyone!
I've been wanting to do this for the last year or two, I was going to post this when Link's Awakening for switch was announced but I was lazy lol.

Anyway, here are all the resources I made for the kinda fake Link's Awakening Remake video I posted like 4.5 years ago.
I hope some of you can give them good use. Sadly they're not complete as you can clearly tell :huh:
