It you play the game that is what it looks like, but I would have prefered a couple large weapons, but he didn't have any

Ive been doing nothing flashwise lately unfortunately, too lazy.

So how's the sprite movies been going around here, any you guys made it in the collections here?

Holy crap! I rememeber you! I rememeber you from back before I started posting in the club, only viewed what others like you had to say. By the way I loved your Castlevania flash. You should make another one but with a serious theme instead!

(or give me your sprites and let me make it for you:-p)

Hey someone who remembers me! Thanks for the praise on the CV flash:)

If you or anyone else wants the sprites I used in that movie just go to this link:

http://www.geocities.com/anapan8/cv/

That site should pretty much give you what you need.

here's my sprite

Man I'm going nuts lol Sorry I haven't posted in a day or too, but I'm trying to work on sprite sheets for 3 different web comics. Which ends up being who knows how many characters lol

I had to stop for a bit and see what you were all up to.

Oh welcome back to some of ya, and welcome to the new members lol

Working on only 3!?:-p Comon keep working! work work work!

only 3? What do you mean only? 3 Sprite comics not 3 sprite, I said characters for 3 comics lol

Actual Sprite Sheets I have to many to count lol XD

*I know your only joking though*

I am working on over 30 different sheets lol @_@ my brain hurt

Well, I have quite a lot on at the moment, and there is little for me to discuss here for the time being. Therefore I will probably stop posting here for a bit, until I get some things finished, then I will return.
I would also like to be notified of any progress with the project (what has been going on with that anyway?) during my absence if any of you remember ;)

So farewell for now, I will see you all again another day.

thedoctor im not really sure whats been going on with the project,i think everyone is getting caught up with stuff and havent realy been posting so we dont know whats going on with them,plus no real time frame has been set up to have things done by so i guess were just getitng on with it at our own pace.dont worry though as soon as things get rolling you'll get all the details.

Hmmmm... A project? What kind of sprites would you like to have?

damn,i have to buy new black ink for colloring in my pictures...
anyway, i will post a preview of one wen i get my hands on my brother's digi-cam, and without it, i have to look for another way to scan it in...somthing is telling me he broke his 3 weeks old digi-cam...

i also have to find a way how i can make the file smaller, becuse wen i put it on the PC, they are all bitmap pictures with 900 Kb memorie...help here?

Castlevania sprites. Mario sprites. MK:DA sprites. Got any? Here's my Kenshi sig me and BeaverKing made for TheBomb10. I made the sprite. W00t... W00t.

First, are you sure you learned the basics of spriting? (pixels, color, bittage)
Second, it lost color infomation when you saved it.

Here's a tip if you want to improve : Magnify by 6X and begin to edit (or scratch) your sprite. Then, magnify by 2X to see what it would be like in a comic for example. I personally save it under a .PNG file, then convert it to a .GIF if needed.

Kaosboy
Ill try and see what i can come up with by august 25thbut im not sure if ill be able to pull off a sheet by then.

Majin
im not sure really how you would do it,file compression isnt exactly one of my strong points.Try exporting the file as something other than a bitmap,try exporting it into a .png file

Da,mit spriting used to be so fun but its to much freakin work just to make a sprite sheet of your own charter I only work on my sprites when I'm hype I havent done it in a while or when I wana make a comic for my friends web site but still its alot of work now editing finding the right color & crap but yet I still love doin sprites there fun to look awsome or funny...[sometimes crappy]

I'm confused are you complaining? or telling us how much you like it? Because you got a mixed message, then again I just woke up so maybe I'm just not understanding you just yet lol

Anyway I'll just say this, if your not having fun for even a second. Then just stop for a bit.

It's okay. The animation is nice and smooth. Next time, try making it look a bit clearer and be sure you don't leave a trace of white around the image.

I know. I was asking about the rocket.

here is a [servbot] redo

I don't know what servbots are supposed to look like, so simply going from an aesthetic POV, I like it! The shading's great and your use of black linework is smart. You don't overdo it and it simply accentuates; the figure doesn't rely on it to hold it together like a traditional holding line. Whether by design or happy accident, I'm most impressed with the stance; he looks as if he's in mid-turn. The head and feet have stayed planted, but the torso is beginning to shift to the right signifying a turn. It's very robot-like.

If you're serious about spriting, it's nothing a lot of time and practice couldn't fix.

People who watch Ranma 1/2 will get these jokes

Not too shabby. I especially like the chicken flying out of the sleeve. Where did you get those sprites?

here's my [doctor] sprite

Simple, yet effective. My sprite is in my sig. I'm the tiny guy running from the monster.

That sounds like a great idea! How did you meet someone from Sweden?

the first thing I would buy [is] the anime Hellsing.

Ya know, I still haven't seen it? I've gotta rent those bad boys!

some of the names did help thanks

No problem. Even if you don't use those particular names, I hope they pointed you in the right direction.

No new comic but the preview pic is on the front page [of The_Catalyst] now.

Simply AWESOME! The two things I dig the most are the crimson cyclops at the right and the city scene in the far background. It's an awesome way to display your sprites. Is this a clue of things to come in the comic?

I'm trying to work on sprite sheets for 3 different web comics.

Okay, I'm sure it's too early to tell, but might there be a crossover in the future of your comics?

From this moment hence, thou shalt be known throughout the land as "King of Shades"! You've got a really firm grasp of highlights and shading. It shows in your work and on this touched-up sprite. You've added a nice round feel to everything. Great job!

This is a recent experiment.

Looks great so far. You're doing an excellent job with varying degrees of greytones.

You're not kidding! Over a year! To my knowledge, we haven't made it into the collections yet, but keep an eye on Kaosboy85. Something tells me he's not too far away from being "collected". How've things been going for you? Sorry to hear you haven't been Flashing much; you do some GREAT work! Thanks for the link to the Cv sprites! I'm sure they'll come in handy.

I agree, but for a different reason. If you're displaying a sprite that you've customized / created, it's best to place it on a background that contains a color complementary to the main color in the sprite to help it pop more. Placing a predominantly yellow sprite on a white background doesn't help it pop as much as a background with a violet value. In the case of the servbots where blues and yellows rule, something with a value of red would help.

I'm totally digging the Doom Dancers! They're hilarious! Could you put one of them in a white polyester suit?

HA HA! no it dont [require Flash to make animated sigs]! noink to do with flash...

Instead if taking that tact, why don't you tell us how to make animated sigs without Flash then. This club is about helping each other, encouragement and sharing information, not laughing at members who may not know a technique or a process. Share with us what you know.

Yeah, pages multiply like rabbits around here lately. Welcome back, Niko! How was your holiday? Where did you go?

Docs star trek sprites were hillarious ... is there any plans of making a movie with them?

Thanks! From Ghaleonx5z's suggestion, I think I'm going to do a sprite comic series first and then animate them if it turns out to be worth my time. I plan on making the sprite comics themselves interactive. I've been O.D.ing on the various Trek series. There's one on every day of the week! At the end of the month I'll be picking up the dvd collection of the original series' first season and Trekkies 2.

Hey! Good to see you back, hombre? How've you been? Are we going to see you around here more often? We're long overdue for an IM session, but I've been busier than hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant!

since it seems that everyone is lookign for a deadline ... Agust 25th ... after that I'll be able to focus on "The Project" ...

You weren't here when we started it, but The Project everyone's asking about is something we started back in April. It's a group effort project that never got past the script writing stage. As soon as I'm done with my real job, I'm going to post my reevaluation of "The Project" here. Since we've had some people take time off and others with amazing talent, like yourself join, I feel certain jobs should be reassigned. Check the site for details and I'll post my thoughts later.

Take care and I hope to see you back here soon. Over the weekend during down times from work, I reevaluated "The Project" and I've come up with a new schedule. It's going to take some time, but it'll allow us time to reassess job assignments since we've gotten more talent here. I'm sure someone will keep you posted or simply bookmark and periodically check The Project site for updates; that's what it's there for.

Good luck with the digi-cam! I hope it isn't broken! In order to change your images to 72 dpi, check the program that you open your pics in. Save it as a JPG at 72 dpi and it should take care of your file size.

Overall, the sig looks okay. The animation of sprite needs work. There's too much shift in the movement. Do your best to make sure the feet are planted in place.
