I tend to not spite much 8-bit, but huge, many-bit sprites. I post them here, because... That's what this topic is for! Behold.

Damn Iddi that's just plain awsome.  Did you make those from scratch or draw, then scan, then make it a sprite?
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: Iddi on October 09, 2005, 05:45:35 pm
On the guy I made a quick sketch, just a stick figure. They're both made by me, from scratch. The eye was made with a little reference. Glad you like them :)

I'm not that much into spriting anymore, though. And I have no mouse to do it with, either.

One day I might draw myself one of them cool Kirbies myself, since I never had the money to buy one, which would totally have been worth it, by the way. One day.. . . !

Actually I'd kinda like to have that Mets Kirby pic cause for some reason I didn't save it.  So if you could post it again for me to grab it I'd really appreciate it.

So Many things missed, my only sprites are at home, and I'm sure you guys have seen a few of them before, but I'll see what I can't do about posting them if ya want me to.  When I get home....

Okay here you are Ladies and.... are there any ladies here? Anyway, Ladies and Gentlemen, my own customs.

Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: Armchair on October 13, 2005, 05:09:03 pm
Nobody will. Ever.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: FyberOptic on October 13, 2005, 08:38:31 pm
Time for maximum infos:

BMP = Full quality, full color, huge filesize
GIF = Full quality, 256 colors or less, decent filesize, allows transparency, allows animation
JPG = Good to horrible quality, full color, small filesize
PNG = Full quality, full color, decent filesize, allows transparency/alpha channel (IE displays transparency/alpha channels incorrectly)

The good quality for JPG generally only applies to photographs.  It's a lossy compression, meaning anything which needs to retain actual pixels (such as with sprites) won't work well.

GIF is usually used by folks for sprites, as long as you don't get the colors mangled.  Some programs are better than others at handling the colors; MS Paint for example has a tendency to mess them up if you're not careful.  If you don't want to worry about that, use PNG.  I think it will one day RULE THE INTERNET.

Okay, I'm challenging myself, if anyone has an 8-bit sprite and would like to see it in 16 bit... give me a shout, I doubt I'll do it justice, but I'll try my best.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: Iddi on October 15, 2005, 05:45:50 am
I hope that png will become more common on the internet... JPG isn't good for anything else than photographs I think, and gif doesn't have enough colors. And never save gif files with MSPaint, it will just fix the image so it has about three colors. Maybe four.

Post by: MDude on October 15, 2005, 01:59:04 pm
There should be a new type of animation file.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: FyberOptic on October 15, 2005, 07:25:22 pm
There's a variation of PNG called MNG which allows animation and all sorts of fancy stuff, but naturally, it's not well supported in all browsers yet.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: Vito on October 15, 2005, 07:47:15 pm
You can animate some pngs if you have the right stuff. I only make my sprites and backgrounds in png and I loss no color when I animated them in Gif movie gear.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: Ramesh on October 16, 2005, 08:41:00 pm
I do all of my work in ImageReady. Paint is fine for spritesheets, but it can't edit all of the fancier filetypes (png, gif, etc) and it can animate too. Mind you, animating takes forever with it (although I have nothing to compare) and getting the sprites in the right place can be a problem sometimes.

It's not that bad.  It'd prolly look better in front of a background, too.

Well the shoe's are kind of an important part of the character, and your guy needs spiky-like hair.  But the body looks like a 32-bit Fighter guy

Post by: DracoLord Haven X on November 21, 2005, 04:33:15 am
For some reason, I was like writing down things like height, weight, and whatever, and somehow I got inspired to make a random sprite out of nothing. Normally when this happens, it turns out horrible, but for some unknown reason, the 10 minute thing turned out way better than expected. Now granted, this isn't the best thing ever, but for less than ten minutes of work without any real planned goal or something, I'm somewhat proud of it.

Seriously though pretty good work.  Having said that I do have some thoughts though.  Namelly you left all the crosses off the chest and shins.  and he don't have black underwear.  Unless of course you were going for something different with the Mets outfit.

I think it was built off of a Guard Battlechip. That's why the red on the back.

/me locks magus in the quick reply box

Make sure your sprites and avatar are either .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF before posting them. That's the cause of 80% of all problems.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: FyberOptic on December 01, 2005, 10:19:09 pm
Harpuia, the link you put to your avatar is:  http://www.http.com//www.inti.co.jp/cd/zero1/image/harpuia.jpg , which is clerly a bad url.   The link you want, it would seem, is http://www.inti.co.jp/cd/zero1/image/harpuia.jpg .  Though that image is a bit big, so I don't know if it'd make a very good avatar unless you edit it.

Also, I added .jpeg to the list of file extensions one can upload, since I noticed the other day when I tried to upload such a file, it yelled at me.  I think it's dumb to name a file .jpeg, really, but sometimes they are and I forget to rename'em and then I type out paragraphs like this explaining it and SOMEBODY MAKE ME STOP.

TIME TO SHOW OF A SPRITE

If this is actually to be my character, it'll take a lot of backstory to make him so. However, I think the sprite looks a-pretty-pretty good~

If there are any possible corrections, please let me know.
Title: Re: Show of your sprites!
Post by: Vito on December 09, 2005, 03:14:30 pm
He looks pretty good, but maybe a little too tall. I dunno what you really intend to use him for, if it's just for avatars and such than good, but if you intend to use him in comics you may want to bring him down so he won't be twice as tall as the megaman edits which is generally the standard with most.

Title: Re: Show off your sprites!

That looks more 8-bit than 16-bit. 16-bit would have more shading.

Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: FyberOptic on January 02, 2006, 07:56:20 pm
It looks cool enuff.  The flashing one suddenly jerks back to green though.  It'd prolly be cooler to cycle back slowly like it does to blue.

But I dunno.  It doesn't really immediately tell you which topics are new just from a glance.  They're both green, and you have to wait for the animation to start to tell if that topic is a new one.

I did however just have the thought that perhaps using a full beaker for new and an almost empty beaker for none might be good indications.
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: Buzzard on January 02, 2006, 08:05:42 pm
I was tossing around an idea of using a fizzy beaker for stickied topics, a broken one for locked topics, and maybe an overflowing one for "hot topics."

Post by: FyberOptic on January 02, 2006, 10:31:59 pm
I figured we'd try the empty beaker idear too since Vito said something similar to me, about it being hard to notice which are areas have new posts at first glance.

Which do you folks prefer?
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: Prox on January 02, 2006, 10:37:50 pm
maybe just make the ones with new posts a solid blue, or make them already blue to begin with, then change back into green and loop.

As for Buzzard's idea about the topic icons, I went ahead and made a few.

Post by: Prox on January 02, 2006, 10:39:15 pm
And here's the other ones. I made two locked topics, either would work i guess. I didn't want to make a completely broken one because it would be hard to add characteristics to.

I was thinking that maybe an icon for the main page which moved quicker and began with blue would work.

My GIF animation program won't work without demolishing the image quality, so someone else will have to do it, but this is an example.

I made all the extra variants needed for the topic index ones Prox made.  The poll ones are the same though.  I'm not sure how to give them all the extra properties they'd need.

For example, each icon needs Normal, Sticky, Locked, Sticky + Locked versions.  Then it needs versions of each of those to denote the topics you've posted in (which we used bubbles to indicate on the normal post icons).  Then you need variants of all of those for normal, hot, and very hot topics.  So that's 24 different images for the post icons, which are done, and another 24 needed for the poll ones.  But there's no room on the poll one for cracks to show lockedness or bubbles to show if you've posted in it, so I'm not sure what to do with'em yet.

Post by: ecto on January 03, 2006, 08:23:18 am
The animated beakers probobly would have killed dial up users. Even though the images aren't that big Kb wise your still waiting for everything else to load at the same time.
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: FyberOptic on January 03, 2006, 12:26:33 pm
The animated one made it hard to differentiate at first glance which sections had new posts.  Normally I'm used to seeing either bright blue or light gray, which is a pretty big difference in colors, making it easy to see where stuff is new.  I know you put some effort into making the animated one, Mysto, but I asked around before changing it just to make sure, and a few other folks seemed to prefer the empty beaker too.  I even put the almost-empty one up first, and just that tiny bit of green in the bottom of it was enough to be distracting when looking for new posts.  There really needs to be some kind of drastic difference in color for those kinds of icons to keep the same level of functionality as before.

I can't say I'm crazy about the empty one, but it works.  Maybe a beaker alternating colors other than green would work better.  I can't say for shore unless I saw it.  As for the colors, I just had a thought about mabbe cycling between yellow and blue.  See if you can guess why . . !

I like all the test tubes and such, but that text is sure kinda small.  Not that there's really any other way to put it on there without obstructing everything.  But it'd prolly work good as the background in an animated one and such.
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: Buzzard on January 03, 2006, 03:45:43 pm
I like the new layout. I can see how my almost empty beaker would be a bit distracting. Also, I have an idea as to how to make Mysto's idea work for that thumbnail. We could make all the test tubes bend into the shape of FYBERTECH. You know, like those really long tubes that are all coily and bendy and such?
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: Joefus on January 03, 2006, 06:14:25 pm
I kinda like the empty/full beaker combo.  I guess I'm just used to associating color with new posts and no color with no new posts.  But which ever I'll probably get accustomed to this in a week or so.

And, I to have a suggestion about making Mysto's banner work little better maybe.  Spell Fybertech in big letter in the background with the beakers in front.  They would be translucent like so you could have the name spelled in lots of colors.
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!

The dark blue frames of the animation look great, but the lighter blue looks a bit sharp. It would look cool if it slowed down a little bit before looping.

Buzzard here's what were yelling about. Mysto, has copied Maxors sig from snipe hunt, again claiming something that isn't his to begin with as his own. If he asked to use it that's the last youll hear of it from me. If you hadn't read the text underneath his avatar he's also claiming Neuf Sed as his own phrase as well, and no he's never asked me to use it. That's what i'm yelling about. The older members of the board can tell you that Neuf Sed belongs to me. I honestly don't care that people use it. The reason why i'm even saying something at all is I really want to see Mysto come up and use his own material for a change. Mysto your stealing is getting old. 
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: Buzzard on January 04, 2006, 12:46:38 am
I'm well aware of all of that. I was avoiding the topic of his stealing stuff.
Title: Re: Show off your sprites!
Post by: FyberOptic on January 04, 2006, 02:20:45 am
I don't think he's really claiming anything.  I'm using a Dekaranger phrase in my info text, not to mention the avatar itself.  Doesn't mean I'm claiming that.

As for the banner, I dunno who he might have taken what from, but it aint like it's an official banner for the site, so who cares what he puts on it, really.  You guys could go stick Snipe Hunt sprites all over a banner and write Fybertech on it, or vice versa, and I couldn't care less . . !  Go for the win and stick sprites from N-Fans on there too if you want, and end up in the sprite theft topic on their board.  At the end of the day, it's still just pixels that nobody outside of a very small piece of the internet is going to care about. 

That being said, I don't condone actually taking things from elsewhere and saying you made them, cause that's just dumb.  That doesn't exactly seem to be the case this time, though I remember Mysto saying he made some sprite character once before and got called out on it, so perhaps he learned his lesson in that respect.

MORAL OF THE STOREE:  It's not really fair to yell at people for using certain sprites, unless you're going to yell at everyone else for using something like a Mario sprite too.  They're both made by somebody at some point, and many times "custom" ones are made based on top of someone elses work in the first place.  As long as someone doesn't outright claim to have made something, then who cares what they use it for.

The dark blue frames of the animation look great, but the lighter blue looks a bit jumpy. It would look cool if it slowed down a little bit at its lightest point before becoming dark again.

Built from the ground up of Microsoft paint which isn't saying much for me pity me for this is my first. I call him Joe no fingers.

Iffin you want to start making sprites, I will give you TWO (2) tips.

1.)  Don't save them as JPG.  Not even ever.  It applies compression to the image and makes it look rather shitty, no matter how high you turn the quality up.  Use PNG, preferably.  But if that's not available, GIF is next best, though it's limited to 256 colors.  When it comes to sprites, though, you rarely need more than that.

2.)  Try to retain a constant amount of pixels per area, or "sprite integrity" as they used to call it in the Labs days.  Basically that means that you want your "pixels" to all be a constant size, and not have some appear large and others small.  Prox's looks pretty good, so it's a good example.  All the "pixels" are lined up and of the same size, and look like something right out of an SNES.

I use pixels in quotes, mind you, because generally sprite sheets are resized to be larger than the sprites were in the games so that you can see'em well on your computer screen.  Making a sprite sheet larger makes the number of physical pixels per sprite pixel: the resize factor, squared.  In less confusing terms, if you make a sprite twice as large as the original, you now have four physical pixels for each sprite pixel.  So if you're drawing a sprite at twice the normal size, you want to draw four pixels to represent one sprite pixel, and they all need to align to this invisible four-pixel grid.  Hopefully this paragraph wasn't 100% confusing . . !

Simply put, a good way of drawing sprites to ensure "pixel integrity" is to just draw them at original size in the first place.  Work zoomed-in of course to make it easier to see.  Then when you're done, you can pixel resize it to twice as large, and all your pixels will be perfect.  16x32 is a good old-fashioned size to work in; even Mario in the original SMB was that size, though generally it doesn't matter if your sprites are a little bigger than this, since you're not working within video game hardware limitations.  When I resize Prox's sheet to half the size, they all almost fit 16x32 boxes.

Somebody else has prolly mentioned these tips before in a less-winded post, but I don't guess it hurts to repeat'em every so often.

I'll have to get Mysto to design my robot body when I become rich and have my current body replaced.

This isn't so much a sprite, but Mysto wanted a background pattern, so I thought it might be useful to others.

(http://www.fybertech.com/graphics/fyberpattern.gif)

It looks kinda like girders if you double-size it.  And folks could change the girder and blue thing color depending on the thing they're using it as a background for.  Not sure if I'd change the gray though.

Sorry for the bump, but I just wanted to add my sprite sheet that I've had sitting on my computer since well before anyone even heard of Megaman ZX. On the spritesheet, it mentions something about a "Polymorphic Armor". This equipment has been described in the ULTIMATE BATTLE, but he does not have it in the RPs because of two things:

1. It would make Chris too powerful, especially as a level 1,
2. The technology behind it is different from the HEAT-based armors, and would not fit in Fybertech canon...unless Fyber makes it so it can.

The armor uses nanotechnology to build and rebuild the armor to whatever design Chris wishes, as long as he has the data for it. To get that data, he needs to "scan" a character for it. This takes only a few seconds. However, from that scan, the system needs some time, usually 30 minutes, to process the data into a form usable for the armor.

The armor that Chris gets off of a character will be based off of that character, but it won't be a perfect match. The armor cannot resize itself if the character is much bigger or smaller than Chris, as only the armor can change shape, and not its wearer. The appearence of the armor would be akin to wearing a costume of the character, standing at around 5'8" tall (Slightly taller than Chris's normal height, due to boot and helmet thickness.)

The armor's "default" state, where it is not based off of another character, is all gray, and shaped similarly to that of Megaman X.

As for the risk of having the gauntlet taken from him...the gauntlet will only work if the genetic signature of whoever is wearing it matches that of whoever wore it first, which is Chris. A mismatch would be penalized with electric shocks that will either force the person to remove it, or cause nasty effects such as paralysis or death by electrocution.

Dark Eye Badge= Mage(myself)

Iron Cross Badge= Mets Armature

Twilight Badge= Sterling Gospel(you people call yourselves silly names)

Frequency Badge= Rhythm

Physics Badge= Fyber

Soaring Badge= Bluejay

Investigator Badge= Vito

Mech Badge= Boris

Feel free to steal or mess with these however you see fit.

Twilight Badge is done by Gospel, my other persona. 

And Sprites Ill probably never use from the ADV! RPG.  Lumi and Tesla were the next two that I was doing when I lost the will to continue due to everyone else, even our manager creator, leaving.

Yes, I know the topic's been dead and collecting dust for months.  BUT, I figured this little thing wasn't worth making a new topic for or anything like that.

Yes, I just modified one of Rhythm's sprites.  I think it was the Bluejay one originally, but I swiped ideas from a handful of the other ones.  Credit goes to him for the original and my apologies for bastardizing it.

Also hi - I guess I'm past lurking now.

EDIT: And lo, Lark did forget that paint saves in jpeg first, and the pixels did blur horribly.  But then she realized her error and did return to paint to color over the blurred pixels.

tl:dr - I fuxored, I fixored.

Ress plz? OK!

Anyway, I decided to update my 8-bit persona with a few things from other versions of myself from other storyverses. One of the alternates had an armor made of nanotechnology and could change forms akin to a Ditto. However, since Pokeymans probably don't exist in the Fyberverse, I gave it a different purpose, and a different design (thanks to some 'research' of some old HazLab RPs. Thanks and apologies to Mets and Drake) possible in part by sprite frankenstening.

Of course, the armor's still in progress, but I'd still appreciate perhaps some assistance with some poses (namely, some moves with that spear of his), but some of what I intend to do with it later (namely element-shifting) can simply be done with a simple recolor.
