Post by: SpritingBrad on October 09, 2012, 04:18:57 pm
To start with, here are a few sprites for my game (of course ganon is not complete), tell me what you guys think, and of course feedback is always welcome!! ;)

You gotta give the thread time, you can't always expect immediate responses. Just post from time to time and someone will response.

As for your sprites, I like the bokos. The guy you have above them is he still a work in progress?

Edit:
So this will be ganon form in game?

I really like the design for Ganon. It almost reminds me of a Mario game style for some reason.

It looks rather good, but the head of the Deku baba is too bland, I think you need to add some detail or shading to it. Compared to the bush it just seems wrong. Perhaps have a go at shading the head to give a perspective of light?

I was going to comment about it too actually...the baba head is really bland. It lacks shading to show its texture/shape.

Post by: Max. on November 04, 2012, 07:44:57 pm
Hey, about your deku baba, you should experiment with losing the black outline on his stem. It stands out a lot, and clashes with the MC style. Try a darker green shade instead, maybe.

Also, on your reaper dude, I can't blow him up bigger, but he looks like he lacks and shading at all, maybe you should add some so he looks less flat?

Sorry to be the "bad guy" here. Those sprites are really like the Nightmare (is that how he was called, right?) sprites by King Mob for his Shadowgazer. Here you have the video in which the sprite is.

I can't help but agree with Blaze here, but it really does look like King Mob's Nightmare. I was young once and used to use other peoples' stuff to help my skills improve, but I never published this due to it being not cool to copy somebody else's stuff. I realize you added tweaks to make it look different but...simple tweaks aren't enough.

There is a difference between tweaking somebody else's art and using somebody else's art as inspiration. I strongly suggest that you use it as "inspiration" for your own creation. I bet you can come up with some really badass stuff if you tried hard enough! You have raw talent, but I don't think it's right to take somebody else's work, tweak it, and claim it as your own.

Post by: MaJoRa on November 05, 2012, 07:29:59 am
I must say I agree with Star and Blaze on this one. Editing someone elses work and claiming it as your own is not cool. If you upset the artists here they will stop commenting on your work and helping you! Perhaps you should edit some of the official sprites from official games if you want to tweak things and post them here? As Star said, you've clearly got talent, so don't be put off by this.

Post by: arceusrules on November 05, 2012, 05:12:53 pm
sup, i like the deku baba, now i havent played minish cap but i think the neck and the bush doesnt look good together. The bush looks so bright, it would maybe help to make the black dark green as they say. If you make them in paint, i know a little trick if you dont know it. You see your pallette, one color you use when painting. One color you use when erasing with the erasegum, or when clicking the other button on the mouse. However, you can choose the black color to paint with, then the dark green color to erase with, press the erase gum. There are two buttons on the mouse, of wich one are the one you use to erase. But you should hold down the other button and go over the balck areas. All the black turns dark green. No other color turns dark green, jsut black. If you didnt know this i hope it helped :)

I can easily see that it is a frankenstein sprite, but i actually like it. Many people dont like when one uses different sprites to mash em up, (i dont like the mashed up Pokomons though) but i like this one :3

This is also using Minish Cap Bush tile with a few frames from Mario & Luigi Superstars slapped ontop of it. You can even tell its literally a that by looking at how the vine just suddenly ends. I *think* some of the frames used for the bush are from when you use the Gust Jar on a bush?

It is really illegal to claim 100% credit on stuff. Cite your sources.

Thanks guys. I haven't seen many of these before. This is outrageous, Malefor. You know what I did to get good at art? I practiced, even when I sucked, and I still feel like I suck but at least I don't copy.

-I used the bush from the actual game and I thought I didnt have to give credit, even I AM going to give them credit on the end credits of the game.
-Second of all, I don´t even know what the hell is ´Mario and Luigi Superstars´ (I know it is a game, but I never even seen the sprites), so how would I even frame some sprites from it?
-Third of all, the vines are the vines from the actual game, the ones from Mount Crenel, you´ll see what I mean in the attachment bellow until it is approved by a moderator.

It's common sense to give credit where it belongs. Whatever means you use to justify yourself doesn't change the fact that you neglected to do this. Ignorance doesn't excuse you from this, either.

EDIT: I'd like to point out that I didn't just spend a good chunk of this year rebuilding ZFGC with the current administration team out of my own precious time to let people get away with pulling stuff like this. Have some respect. The only way to earn it is to respect others. So next time, you better wise up.

Post by: Zhello on December 17, 2012, 05:49:00 pm
Nice to see that you have improved on making tmc sprites. But yeah, just keep in mind when you make them, to give credit where it is due.
You don't want the guy who made them coming to here, making an account, and saying this and that because you used them and made it your own.
Title: Re: LOZ: Evil´s radiance sprite topic.
Post by: Starforsaken101 on December 17, 2012, 08:51:05 pm
Malefor, let's put this into perspective. I know you've already been told, but I'm not sure you understand: how would you feel if somebody took your sprite, recolored it, and morphed it into their own? How would you feel if somebody took all of your hard work and claimed it as theirs? What if that person's more popular and gets more attention to their sprite, which is actually yours? What do you think that feels like?

It feels like !@#$%. Complete, and utter !@#$%.

Equally, how are you going to be a credible spriter if you don't do your own sprites? What happens, one day, if you actually get a job in the real world but you only managed to make a portfolio out of frankenstein sprites that aren't even yours? You're going to fail at your job, and you're going to fail hard because you wasted these learning years by taking other people's work. You may use other people's work as inspiration but come on. Let's not get too far.

Please, please, please. Let's not get into another one of these situations with you. You have potential and so much spark that it truly is a waste to see you crumble.

Post by: Shane on December 18, 2012, 02:25:43 am
I'm going to have to agree with what the others have said. I'll admit I have done sometime similar once in the past, but I learned it's not just uncool of me but it doesn't show my full creativity if using someone else's work. I see you wish you don't want people to use your sprites and I respect that, but you got to give the same courtesy to other spriters out there. But if you do wish to use someone else's work just ask and give credit, it's the most respectful thing to do. Otherwise it just looks like you stabbed him/her in the back, and I'm sure those weren't you intentions.

With that said, you clearly got talent, I'm no spriter, but I think you should try to improve your shading and outlining, these two skills might just help in the future. =)

Post by: BlazeBigBang on December 18, 2012, 02:32:43 am
Dude, if you check my thread, some are custom sprites from other's, but before doing it, I ask the one who did the original sprite. If he's okay, I go ahead and give credit. If they're from the game, I don't say I did it myself. Just showing my work. Have in mind that it's a must to give credit.

Something similiar hapenned to me when i played Spore.

Post by: SpritingBrad on March 03, 2013, 08:04:33 am
I will post the new version of Arkanus soon,what i did is i took links head and made his hair greish and long, (you'll see what i mean) made his body like a red robe and put a gem on his belly

The next form is the one you fight. He has slightly greish pale skin, he now has a mouth that protects the gem on his stomach,(the mouth is from vaati's second form) he now has horns

The next one is cool, arkanus in his demon form. Now, consumed in a demons soul, i hair looks disgusting, before he transformed, he put his gem on his head.

Final form, titan. He is now a giant demon that its only goal is to destroy link. He has huge hands that can roughly get seven links in one go. He has really big muscles and a back full of giant warts. He has hardly any hair and he still has the gem on his  head, he has holes thatspit black smoke that can only be destroyed with light arrows. To  get to the gem you have to wait until he punches his fist onto the ground.

I will post them soon.

here i have it , it is still incomplete I has Arkanus human form, arkanus mage form and titan form I still have to do the previous one to titan, demonic form.
It looks pretty good, but I hate to seem like a bad guy, but I have some critique or it:

On the Golem:
The shading in general is kind of sloppy and all over the place. For example the readability of the hands is low as it doesn't really look like hands, it more or less looks like a wadd of stone with rough shading. Remember don't shade just because, shade to show depth. There are also jagged lines all over the place. The head doesn't look like it's attatched, it looks like it's just hovering there, try using some sell-out to make it look more like it's not flat, The mouth also looks exrememly flat. Also on one side of the sprite the light source is to the left and on the right side, the light source is to the right, You should define one primary light source, and it's shading doesn't match up with the MC crystal on his crown, which has a light source to the top left. Also the cracks are out of place and don't really look fitting in the perspective. I also see some banding which is not a good thing as it looks ugly and doesn't show depth. The golem also looks like it's leaning back a bit. And there aren't enough shades for the sprite, most of the larger sprites in MC have more shades due to it needing much more shading. The sprit looks like you made half of it and copied a mirror reflection on hte other side, which won't work in MC style due to the light source being on a certain angle and thus it breaks the style, and looks bad tight butthole.

The Normal/Mage Forms:
I also see some excess contrast on here. I also noticed some jaggies on the robe sides, hair, the top of the head. The horns a barly visible due ot the little contrast between the background and the horns itself so I can't really critique that part. The colors in some places are bare distinguishable form each other in some places and the mage form the red trim on the robes are a bit excessivly high in contrast in relative to the robe itself and it sticks out quite a bit. The necklace(which I had to zoom in to see the features of the normal forme robe) the gem is way too big in relative to the charactor. And there really isn't much of a difference between the mage form and the normal form.

soo, I´m back with more, I have not been able to work on the titan but i had really crazy ideas:

-Temple for the octorock kingdom: I enlarged the octorock edit Chesu did for his game to do thism then i recoloured with the castle wall pallete and on top I put a tower, which iss an edit from Xfixium´s Lighthouse. Page bellow:
http://zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=39860.0

-Lord Jabu-Jabu: I used the original sprite from the OOA Jabu-Jabu sprite and recoloured it.
-deku tree: it was made By Badassbill so give him credit.
-Vesus rock: it was an edit I made from the boddy from cragma that leduardo made, it turned out preety good.

I had this Idea of having all the races life cycle. example: zora egg -> Zora tadpole -> Zora child -> Zora
 All the sprites are on the atachment down bellow.

I have been working on the Titan today, I only did the walking animation.
I´m going to do all the animations and then improve the sprite.

EDIT: I redid the hands, i´ll put it under the previous one to compare.

WELP, you completely disregarded my thought out critique, a really important thing to note: Do not animate a sprite if there are problems that you know need fixing, it's better to fix the original sprite  an then attempt to animate it instead of redoing hte animation everytime you attempt to fix the sprite.

Kami, as much as your critique was a good, well-thought, critique, it's still up to Malefor whether or not he wants to fix those things or not. He has no obligation whatsoever to make all the changes you suggested.

Here is a good tutorial in order to train your Pixel Art skills, check it out:
http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299

Here some hints to start up: :)



1. If you want to have the Titan in MC Style you need to change the perspective.
    Most of your sprites have another perspective...compare some Minish Cap Sprites.
    (Horns are correct, you mixed up two perspectives)

2. The horns, from which sprite did you took them?
    It is easily to see what you did and what not. In the tutorial it is explained how to do correct outlines.
    Do not outline the whole picture with black, think from where the light comes!

3. Over-Anti-Aliasing --> Teeths, Toes
    All parts needs to look harmonic for the viewer.

4. Titan Head needs some shadows, it looks like a 2D object in a 3D pretended world using shadows.
    The whole sprite needs a perspective adjustment as said (You have got to "stretch" your sprite inward).



Okay, that will be sufficient for now, I will steal your sprites now good bye.

Psych! Improve your skills and I will have that feeling to steal your sprites ;)

I have one small suggestion for when/if you fix up the Titan and make a new animation for it: When it's walking, when the right leg goes down, make the left arm go down (as opposed to the right arm), and when the left leg goes down, make the right arm go down. It will look more natural that way because that's the way walking animations work. For any walking animation, it's a good idea to do this, otherwise it just won't look right.

The horns, from which sprite did you took them? It is easily to see what you did and what not.

I have to agree on this. The horns and the gem (and possibly the golden ring?) do not appear to be yours, but the rest looks like your work.

If you're going to mix sprite parts together, you will need to be sure to modify whatever sprite parts you take to fit your personal style. The entire sprite should be consistent in style and shading, with a light source and with a perspective in mind. And, of course, every sprite that is used together in a game needs to fit together as well. These things need to be thought out and decided beforehand, or you will end up having to go back and do a ton more work, revising your sprites.

That link that Rayo gave is VERY good, btw. Just take a little time, check out what it says, and then try out what you learn.

I know you've got it in you, Malefor. Spriting greatness! The goddess monkey of fortunate orange peels has told me in a vague dream filled with marshmallows and random explosions! It's a sure deal! Just work up to it! You can do it! I would love to see what you come up without using any other sprites or parts of sprites.

It's true that some things do come easier to some people than others. I know this all too well with the 3d modeling that I've been doing. It's taken me a very long time to learn, and it has been a bit disheartening at times, BUT, I've been learning from every mistake, and I'm finally becoming happy with what I'm making, and I'm able to work faster now.


TL;DR - Hard work does pay off!
