Do you have any examples of your past work?

 

[Axerax]

You need proof you can sprite.

Examples work wonders, no one is gonna just be like.
Oh you can sprite, make me this, even though I have no idea how you sprite.

Well maybe they would, but don't count on it chief.

 

[Ludocaine]

Im Not Saying i can Im Saying if they request Ill make them a sprite that they can use or not use this board is just to become WELL at making the sprites by getting criticism as i make people the the sprites they request. But Sure Ill Put some Sprites on.

[Ynlraey]

Haha wow, it's pretty amazing, just a comment, his hair is actually pretty gray, it's best not to use pure white when something is white  (I wonder if that's the right thing to explain it)

*Ps. of course you can use it as display, I kinda request this so that you can show us an example of your work ^^

Here's some palette to help you out :3

So your saying that I should use a darker white but not yet gray to make the hair? But Thanks for the comment! And thanks for requesting a sprite. I think im getting better the more I make so every request helps.

I Think Im going to try and make a woman now so Lets see how scary this comes out.

hey bro, you look like you need some advice. this topic here has some helpful tips and fixes for breeze spriters.

you have all sorts of problems and I think that your biggest one (other than the color issues that lots of people have) is that you're not working on the pixel-level. it looks very much like you're just drawing with the pencil tool, which is a mistake a lot of people make. pay attention to each individual pixel and where it's placed, and try your best to emulate form.

good luck

 

[Ludocaine]

Well Missingno I Have Gleritahavantosis in my right hand so the hand is almost useless so I must use my left hand wich is not my dominate hand so it is very hard for me to pixel properly but in time my pixle will get better but for now i think im doing quite well but your advice is happily accepted.

 

[Despain]

that sucks, but really i would think that it only slows you down. pixel art is about placing each pixel individually. think about the checkerboard and moving pieces into the right box. that's all that pixel art is. even with a bad hand, it's possible to position the mouse over the right square and click.

keep at it

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Well Missingno I Have Gleritahavantosis in my right hand...

What does this have to do with spriting?

 

[Sonata]

It doesn't, they're making excuses.

 

[Ludocaine]

It doesn't, they're making excuses.

  Please no Flaming

 

[mawk]

I, uh... don't think that's flaming. :x

For the sprite, you should probably fix the outline on his boots in the front and side views. It seems odd that the boots are dark but the outline is lighter all around. It'd make more sense if the outline was lighter where the light shone on the boots, not just all around.

 

[Ynlraey]

It's not. Anyway, Ludo I think you should follow missingno's advice since he's a spriter himself :3

 

[Ludocaine]

I Know that but I just dont understand what she is saying... is there any tutorial on using the color pallett? Gosh i Hope I dont sound touchy i just get frustrated with things but I Just added an Island Girl to the samples

EDIT: http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/3139 ... irlvy6.png[/img]

I think she came out good for being my first girl sprite

 

[Axerax]

My opinion, you need to really vary your palettes. There should be a base color, 3 shades, and 3 highlights resulting in 7 colors. Some people work with 5, and even 6. But I would definitely say you should consider redoing your palettes, cause atm your hair is overly saturated and not varying in contrast.

 

[Ludocaine]

i really dont know how to use palletts i ask over and over but no one has a good tutorial... I dont even know how to use them.

 

[badmonur]

Check the old pixel academy threads, im sure theres something in there
