Important Note
Some of you may have noticed, that all my completed works have been taken down. This is because They were posted for critique in the first place, and not as a free resource directory. So, from now on, I'll be posting WIPs only (well, of Man Vs Ant Resources, at least), to protect the "customness' of my game, if you will. (this may sound selfish to you, but this is how I roll, sorry.)

Update: March 19th, 2008 - Added
3 Bowtie Sprite Bits for the Breeze Revolution - Red, Black, and Blue


Yo peeps, Clizzz here. I'm establishing this workshop so I can get critique for my work. Hope you like what you see! Ok, I'm back now, the Breeze Revolution has lit me up with a renewed fire. If you've been here in the past few days, you may notice a change in the way certain sprites look. More color, more detail, and more overall excellence (or shine, if you will).
This is because, mostly, of what Quintinius said to me.

At the time, I was angry with him, and I let it get the better of me. But, overtime, I came to realize that He was right. I was bad at this, or at least I wasn't trying hard enough. So for a few days, I concentrated all my fury and making my sprites look good, giving them touch ups and even total makeovers. and I think they're coming out better now. Here's an example of how things have changed!

That is how much I've changed some of my sprites. From now on, I going to try my level best to produce quality Sprites, not just for me to say That I'm a good spriter ... But so, people who are learning can look up to me as an example for good spriting!

Notes from the Author

Spoiler

The above are most of the things I've done so far, once I finish some schoolwork, there will be quite a bit more. I'm also planning on showing some of My icons and maybe some tilesets. If you would like to use any of these characters in your projects please see the usage agreement. I'm looking for Creative and Constructive Critisism. If you don't have anything useful or helpful to say, please just shutup. Also, some of my works are WIPs.

Just Kidding (No, seriously, Green raven might actually take legal action against you!). However, you will be reported to a Moderator for Theft and Violation of The Usage Agreement. Thank you.

The look pretty cool! One thing I noticed about Civilian #1 is that his hat curves to one side. On the one facing left, the curvy side should be on the other side. Did you notice that?

They all look really good, but that's not a professional opinion. The Scientist #2's ears on the side look a little strange. I think to make it look similar to the forward one, maybe make the ears less lengthy and pointy... and possibly move them a pixel or two away from the ear. Just an idea though, and if you like it then don't worry.

I especially like Scientist!

Well done!!

 

[LegACy]

eric hazelton's hair.. uuh... it really doesn't fit the rest of the char (and other chars)
and the scientist 2 hair on sideway! she's bald!?

 

[Clizzz]

@JonoSasson
Glad you like the scientist. I have fixed the ears, didn't notice that they were kinda weird. I also decided to just let Civilian #1 wear a Dew Rag, LOL. Thanks for the support.

@Legacy
Unfortunately, I don't think ill be changing Eric's hair ... I just like it somehow. Anyhow, I did try to fix Scientist #2's hair, You were right she did look bald  ;D. Thanks

 

[Samboy]

I don't know... I think the side view of the Scientist#2 needs a bigger hair bun at the back. Compared to the front, it looks quite small.

 

[Clizzz]

Update! I love those don't you?

Things that have changed:

Finished Civilian
Enlarged Scientist #2's Sideview buns (hair)
Added Nurse WIP

 

[Clizzz]

More Uppies! Yay for Uppies!

Added Nurse (revisited)
Basic NeMoid

Alright people
GET WITH THE CRTISISM !!!
(Constructive Preferrably)

 

[Xilef]

Character sets are so cute!
Can you make a cat girl character in a sailor fuku?
Not to sure about the head of the Civilian or the Thief head on the other one.
Make a cat girl and I'll book mark this thread.

What is a NeMoid?

 

[Clizzz]

Yay, my first request! KK, Xilef, I can make a cat girl, but what's a "sailor fuku"?  ??? (An example would be nice)

A NeMoid is to Man vs Ant as The Clone Trooper is to Star Wars. I wanted something that wasn't human to make up part of the fighting forces, so thus the NeMoid was born.

 

[Yivyn]

YES! Breeze ^_^
Awesome charsets~ I <3 em

 

[Xilef]

Yay, my first request! KK, Xilef, I can make a cat girl, but what's a "sailor fuku"?  ??? (An example would be nice)

Sailor fuku is that without the briefcase and puzzle pieces in the hair of course. It's the generic Japanese school girl uniform thing, and is very sexy hehe.

 

[Clizzz]

LOL, i can do that for you. Give me a few minutes (I'm currently enjoying sustenance (food) so, I'll prolly PM you with it!) Oh, and BTW ... I see that tiny word you typed in there ... You, You, Pervert LOL

 

[Xilef]

I don't see it as perverted. It's a fetish but, meh.
What is a NeMoid!?!?

 

[Clizzz]

LOL, I just typed above what it was.

A NeMoid is an Android that is used by The AHF in Man vs Ant.

There ... Ya' Happy?

 

[Venetia]

These are very cute! But the sprite "Eric Hazelton", the one with the RTP hair, doesn't really fit in with the others. The hair uses too many colors/is too detailed in comparison to the style of the other characters.

Also, I think the NeMoid could use more of the midtone color on its belly.

 

[Clizzz]

Hmmm, Venetia has commented ... dare not disobey ...

KK, I know that Eric's hair doesnt fit, I'm currently looking into possible breeze style hair, so i'm prolly going to change that.

About the NeMoid, either my eyes are dimming or my computers resolution needs to go up (again) .... damn school fees .... coulda' had that flatscreen already ...

 

[Xilef]

The Nurse's hair over her eye isn't very pretty. Move that hair out of her eye.

 

[Xephyr]

Yay!  I've always liked Breeze.

Post some more Breeze resources.  Some monster-looking ones or tilesets maybe.

So far, you are doin really good =]

 

[Clizzz]

I'm back, with more Uppies!

See The Workshop for Specifics!

@Xephyr14
Thanks I'm glad you like them, and I hope to have ALOT more in the near future.

@Xilef
WHAT! You don't like her bangs or whatever the womenfolk call them? Don't you have any school girls you could be fantasizing over?

:O Two X's

You are pillow-shading. Even on Breeze, I find pillow-shading ugly. Also - you're not using any (or just very little) shading on the bodies of your sprites. Even one or two nice shades other than the outline would be nice, however the Breeze is a simple template so I'll forgive you. I agree about the RTP-esque hair, but hey, it looks good. Perhaps it'll stick out beside your other character sets, but on it's own it's nice.

Just in-case -

Pillow Shading - the process of using a progressively lighter outline as you move farther in to make the object appear to have depth. This is wrong, due mainly to the fact that it makes everything appear much like a pillow, and that the light-source is directly between the player and the object, a feat that rarely happens, especially in real life.
