Okay ... ... ... DAMN! I just can't leave it at that! I tried! I REALLY tried! ; ) I'm a professional writer and part of my work ethic is to make sure I'm understood so that's why I get so LOOONNNG winded at times. Collect enough of my hot air from these threads and your computer'll start floatin'! Cheers!

Is the 16BIT Bass the sprite sheet you used to customize these? If so, could you post a couple of the original examples or a link to them so we can compare and give you a fair assessment? Right off the bat, without the original work to compare it to, I'd say they look pretty darn SHWEET!
for the first time ever im getting my sprites from sprite sheets so i have to rip them off the sprite sheets. so just wanna say how annoying this is and well done to every one here who does this on a regualer basis

How are you going about taking them off the sheets?

im using fireworks i use a cutting tool where you draw a rectangle round the sprite you want and it cuts out the rectangle you drew with the sprite in it but you still cant change the bitmaps backround so i need to create a new bit map through copy then i need to crop the copy then i can rub out the white backround and cut and paste the sprite into a new file which automatacly becomes the size of the sprite then i just save the single sprite and its ready for use
well here is a PART of the original.
give it a score form one to ten.

WOW! Yeah, that does sound tedious! If your ultimate goal is to use the sprites in Flash, use these steps in a Flash file (I use caps for the words you'll actually find in Flash):
1) FILE > IMPORT > whatever sprite sheet you wanna use.
2) Make sure it's selected, then MODIFY > TRACE BITMAP
3) A "Trace Bitmap" dialogue box will appear with the following settings -
Color Threshold - 0 (the higher in number you go, the darker the colors become and you tend to lose highlights)
Minimum Area - 1 pixel (keeps it tight)
Curve Fit - Pixels (since that's the effect you want)
Corner Threshold - Many corners (since the sprite is made up of boxes)
Click "OK" when you're done with your settings.
4) Flash will break the entire image apart
5) EDIT > DESELECT ALL
6) Using your arrow tool, only select the background and delete it. Viola! That should do it!
Now you're free to select each individual image and group them. In no time you'll have a library full of sprites ready to animate! As a tip, make the background color of your Flash file something different than the colors of the background or sprites on the sprite sheet. This way, if you have a green Flash background and a white background on the sprite sheet , you'll see the green when deleting and you'll know you were successful.
Also, if you wanted the sprites just to use as .GIF's or .JPG's, all you have to do is check off those choices when publishing the Flash file.
I hope this has made life easier for you! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Well, I stick by my previous judgement - SHWEET! If this was the sheet you used to customize the blonde character you posted earlier, I give you a 7!
You departed from the original design quite a bit which is commendable. Most people tend to only change colors and small bits. You added hair and armour pieces which look nice. Overall, good job!
Next time, instead of using black as your holding line, try using a darker shade of the fill color. For example, you gave your character yellow hair - try outlining it in a darker shade of yellow. It'll give it a smoother look. You've done some good work here, I look forward to seeing more!
thanks!
i have put alot of work in that one!
well...i stardet first with just changing collors....

Just like Niko1uk said, check the very first post on this thread and you'll find IncurableGimp's guidelines for joining this club.
And again, just as Niko1uk said, with work like yours, you're sure to be a member. Your stuff is excellent!

TO ANYONE WHO"S BEEN ASKING TO JOIN!
Your all welcome to join the club, you don't have to e-mail me, but it's an easy way to keep track of the members. This is probably just an excuse for my laziness (sorry) but Im pressed for time right now, and I can't e0mail everyone who's wanted to join. But your all welcome too!
I'm thinking about using a symbol or something that members can put into their signatures, and as I'm going to be outta town for a while, I want to hear all your suggestions. I'll get back to you on monday. Thanx, and welcome to all the new spriters we got here!

I got em' from a pal:) I have many more realistic sprites and I have some megaman ones to:) tell me if you want them.
hey gimp maybe we could just make a sig saying sprite club and our user names then we can edit it any way we want but i dont have vany ideas for a sprite club symbol
I think those sprites are from a fighting game, maybe Primal Fury, but thats only a guess. They look like PSX rips, but what do I know?
As for the sig thing, that was kinda what I had in mind Nico, but I need a bit of inspiration.
ya know whats good sprite remix mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm rerfreshin im so in

Thanks for the offer! Does your friend have any more Dark Stalkers sprites? I found a few here at Canaanite Creations , but as far as I can tell, they don't have all of the steps in animation.

Are you looking for a logo to tuck into the sig or some sort of club mascot? If it's a mascot, would you like it to be animated or static?
Should I join or not? I'm not great or anything, not done to many yet ether. But I'm trying. Got other things to do and all.
Um not to great but a bit of what I got
