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)
Show content




-Wind Waker Characters (MC)
Show content

-Twilight Princess Characters (MC)
Show content

-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)

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)

new:

-Ganon (ZFGC style)


-Tower


-SBB characters (Mother 3)


-Wind Waker characters (Minish Cap)

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)

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.

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!

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)

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).

-Tower

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.

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)

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.

I really appreciate the comments guys!

So this is my last remake:
-Wind Waker characters (Minish Cap)

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.

I was talking to my friend last night, and he was mentioning about how in 1980, he thought the internet would become this amazing place where people from across the world would share ideas. I was telling him about how this project [KOT] has worked, lurching along for years and drawn by different people from across the globe, and he thought it was beautiful. And he was right, it's awesome. :D

Yes of course :) I think you used him for your MC styled Items.

So I kinda finished the contest link's walking cycle:

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...

Here's the sheet, I made him stick out his hand so he can grab his shield.

Hope you like  :P

Some great news, I finally started with the MM and TP sprites, all of these are for Link, I just updated them.

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.


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.

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.

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. =\
