So how do you suggest I fix it? Lower the darkness of the lines?

Void · « **Reply #101 on:** January 06, 2006, 05:07:23 am »

@scuba steve: Good point , I will fix that. Thanks for pointing that out

@camus: lol , I promise you its completely from scratch.

Scuba Steve · « **Reply #102 on:** January 06, 2006, 06:02:20 am »

I tried to make the clothes flow from where they would be hanging. His knees is pressing the front of the pantsso the cloths drag from there down. I also added a bit of contrast to the pants because they were very soft. I provided a shot that might help from Mark of the Wolf.

wow...I cant belive everyone just skimmed past the efex sprites. it is really mind boggling for me.

Not really. I've seen his/her work before and it's very impressive. I didn't think you needed our approval to invite them.

Acke · « **Reply #106 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:32:32 am »

Might have fixed the hair. Still not all that happy with it tho.

Alex Hanson-White · « **Reply #107 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:33:22 am »

After seeing everyone else's, i've got inspired to do my own:

Scuba Steve · « **Reply #108 on:** January 06, 2006, 08:53:51 am »

Acke, The hair looks much better now. I thought I'd clean up his pants alittle and see if that helped... the rest of him is so clean but the pants eemed a bit messy. I also added some definition to his legs so they weren't as thin.

Razz · « **Reply #109 on:** January 06, 2006, 09:57:20 am »

Finished the sprite, finally.
Now let's see if I can manage a portrait ...

I've seen it all before. The Capcom style stuff is great and, for me, actually is superior to their real work and designs. About time somebody updated those aging old Darkstalkers sprites, especially Morrigan who's original sprite now looks embarrasing in the recent games they've put her in. Just wish these were actually in the game.

Not so keen on his SNK stuff. I know he's great at it, but I still find the SNK style ugly as hell.

SplatPixel · « **Reply #111 on:** January 06, 2006, 11:16:20 am »

thanks much for the comment and crit Helm, i know he looks a lil plain... i'll mess with him some more. here my character portrait. i think kof 2001 had the best portraits, so i kinda went for that style.

Acke · « **Reply #112 on:** January 06, 2006, 11:21:54 am »

Steve: ah. coolios. maby i tried to add too much detail to the pants... and i might have been a shade too short on them too i guess.

Bo · « **Reply #113 on:** January 06, 2006, 01:49:25 pm »

a friend at another forum pointed out that he needed a tail. so here it is.

still not perfect but il focus on the portrait before making any more changes to this one.

joshastorian · « **Reply #114 on:** January 06, 2006, 01:51:40 pm »

It's supposed to be me. I didn't have a whole lot of time to work on this so I hope it'll be good enough for the selection screen.

By the way, there are some amazing submissions so far.

Bo: I think you may want to swap legs that are forward. You drew a leg darker on purpose to indicate that it was in the foreground compared to the foreground leg... but I think they're mixed up.

oh shit, another big error to sort out then i guess.

DementedHero · « **Reply #116 on:** January 06, 2006, 04:27:43 pm »

Well, I reworked it, and tried to go with the streetfighter looking style.

Im not too sure about the left (our left) arm though..

Any better?

Kazuya Mochu · « **Reply #117 on:** January 06, 2006, 06:12:05 pm »

Update

EDIT : I tried making both Capcom and SNK style. I like the SNK better, so Scuba, go for that!

Gil, let's see you fight three of me!

take care,

Kaz

Captain Blood · « **Reply #118 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:00:35 pm »

I'm liking that a lot, Kazuya. Very cool and mysterious looking.

Looking better, but the biggest problem is still (his) left leg. It almsot seems too short. I know it's supposed to be back... but if that's the case it should be much darker and smaller as well. Right now it looks like he has one short leg and one long.

Acke · « **Reply #120 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:15:35 pm »

Allright. Here goes.

Rawsushi · « **Reply #121 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:23:51 pm »

I need to do one of these. I should have some free time coming up within a day or two.

Great entries so far.

DementedHero · « **Reply #122 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:34:57 pm »

Thanks scuba, I see what you mean.

Ill get right on it, thanks alot

Scuba Steve · « **Reply #123 on:** January 06, 2006, 08:01:28 pm »

You want me to replace the old one with that one acke?

Acke · « **Reply #124 on:** January 06, 2006, 08:03:56 pm »

Steve: yeah man. that'd be goodie.

I think pants are too generic for this creature, but any type of clothing would be a nice accessory to flesh out the design more(its another naked alien)..
I personally picture some baggy balloon-like pants in a soft yellow-orange cream color.
the edit to the sword-arm looks way better than before.
would be interesting if his back arm was out from behind his body, it seems like its hidden

Xion · « **Reply #130 on:** January 07, 2006, 08:02:35 am »

Thanks. I'll toy around with clothes and fix the arm. Workin' on the portraiture now.

Zach · « **Reply #131 on:** January 07, 2006, 05:59:40 pm »

first thing i've done anything like this, portrait comming later

Skalle · « **Reply #132 on:** January 07, 2006, 06:02:35 pm »

The pictures and portraits submitted or shown in this thread are all great! My favorite has gotta be the one posted by Cold Mage, because of the animation. Simply awesome.

And Thank you Helm, for the great crits. I know I am bad at folds and those I made pretty random, but I didn't really think about it so thanks for pointing it out. Without that no doubt my portrait would be a million times worse. Here's the new sprite, and the portrait:

I got some crits by Mori on the chat channel, and I'm pretty sure I will make some more changes to the sprite. I think I'll make his eyes closed too, to make him more sleepyhead like in the portrait. Everyone is welcome with there crits and comments, good and bad!

Zach: Nice picture, but DON'T save it as jpg!!!! Maybe it's photobucket changing the file format because it was BMP or something, but use PNG or GIF instead.

God Slayer · « **Reply #137 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:33:53 pm »

Archeal (Ar-shale) the Avatar of the demon Nockovok sent to the king of fighter tournament to establish Nockovoks reputation and secretly, to become more powerful than the foul demon and wrest himself from the chains of his contract. During his mortal days, his wife had contracted an unknown desease caused by Nockovok, and the demon took the opportunity to present himself to the premeir fighter of that time and tell Archeal that he would save his wife in exchange for his soul. Archael did it, and was promptly slain by followers of Nockovok. After grueling training, the now semi demon Archeal has decided to stop his evil journey- one way or another.

Meh. I'll do another at some point.

Alex Hanson-White · « **Reply #139 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:45:22 am »

here's a quick/unclean edit, Xion.
I messed with the arm and leg obviously and the neck.

Scuba Steve · « **Reply #140 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:47:26 am »

...and colours because you couldn't help yourself

Schu · « **Reply #141 on:** January 08, 2006, 01:20:18 am »

Fights with Ice Pixels and a snowboard!

I had another portrait in a completely different style but I didn't pixel it... Might edit this one too a bit but I'm playing castlevania! I was gonna make a snowy background too but I'm too lazy right now :/ Oh well. Good enough for now!

Captain Blood · « **Reply #142 on:** January 08, 2006, 02:12:48 am »

Nice work, hun. I like the blocky pixelly thing in the hand.

Anyways I've taken mine out. Guess I should have followed nearly everyone else and done SNK style all the way but I just don't enjoy trying to copy someone else's graphic style so unless its possibly some form of adoration and I don't adore SNK at all (the portrait style is ok but I just do not like the shading on their sprites at all, their characters are usually incredibly bland and games like SNK Vs Capcom, which I had really been looking forward just turned out to be hideously dated crap when I got it a while ago, nice work on Demetri but what the hell is with Guile?). Mine would have looked shit and out of place in the flash thing anyway and brought everyone elses work down too. Also I don't appreciate some of the crap I got e-mailed directly to my gmail account referring to this site and my own work. I don't like being called a ripper or a tracer or anything like that, thanks, especially without proof.
This crap seems to happen everytime I try to join in with any community collaboration whether its pixelling or writing or whatever. Forget it. I haven't been enjoying doing this for a while now as possibly shown by my lack of motivation to put up another website. Dunno why the hell I pay £17.99 a month for broadband to get hassled by people on the net when I could just go out and get that for free offline...

Anyways nice work people. Especially liking Ryumaru's moody looking demon thing. Nice atmospheric lighting on that thing. Take care an' all that.

Nooooo!!! Dood, if other people think the stuff you make was ripped that's just their own incompetence. Everyone seems to act like only pixel artists with published/famous work are capable of doing something unbelievably great. Which sucks.

Nice, schu, but where's her other arm?

Nice edit, Alex-Hans. Much more dynamic than mine. The neck is also much improved...y' mind if I steal it for a sec...

Schu · « **Reply #144 on:** January 08, 2006, 02:49:03 am »

Oy Capt'n!

I don't think you have to copy the style for this, especially since your sprite was so well made and the portrait was quite beautiful~ And whoever calls you a ripper tracer, I'll break their kneecaps

Xion: The other arm is under the poncho. Same for the sprite, though hidden in the back.

Zach · « **Reply #145 on:** January 08, 2006, 03:00:50 am »

i find the other portrait more in your style i think schu

...Out...

Sorry, I'm a bit lost...

Anyways, I thought yours was one of the best submissions so far... and I was particularly blown away by the portrait (which I made cycle colours if you click on the sprite). The project was never to copy SNK or Capcom styles... it was just to make a fighter sprite in your own style... or emulate if you wanted... this is probably a note for everyone.

Incidently.. I didn't realize until this afternoon that "Captain Blood" is not your standard username... you USED to go by Wolverine... who I remember from the old Pixelation days!

Kazuya Mochu · « **Reply #147 on:** January 08, 2006, 03:49:17 am »

hey Captain,

I don't think the point is to copy anything. I just did my versions for fun, and ended up liking snk's version better then my original drawing. mostrly because the pants are better shaded

so it's a shame you take out yours really!

take care,

Kaz

Alex Hanson-White · « **Reply #148 on:** January 08, 2006, 04:09:18 am »

Schu, nice entry. The sprite looks very clean. Something about the arm bothers me though, it might be a tad short I think.
As for the portrait, I think the drawn one has more dynamicness, and the pixeled one her top lip is well, gone!

i also think its a shame your dropping out, i liked your entry the most out of them all. especially the portrait, why are people calling you a ripper or tracer anyways???oh well this is your choice not mine, oh and thanks alot for the compliment coming from you it means alot and comments always keep me going.
