Metroid Sprites

[Gmanjudo]

I have decided to Remake an old game of mine, and now Kiniko has joined in.
The game is called Metroid : Solitude, and used to use ripped graphics as sprites. so to up the Quality me and Kiniko are making completely custom graphics to go along with the new game.

In this topic i will periodically put up updates on the new graphics and such, in comparison to the old graphics.

All line work done By me, and all Shading done by Kiniko.

Wow Gman, that looks good. It's nicely resized, I can't wait to see how it will be shaded. If I may try shading it to show what I think it should look like? I wish I could become a part of this. Im hung up on metroid games right now. Damn, zero mission is good.

 

[Gmanjudo]

Sure you can shade it, but leave the left arm (withought cannon) unshaded, cause i still got some work to do there.

I wish I could become a part of this.

I'd be honored

I will get all the facts organized, and stuff done so far together than pm you.

Man i love you Kiniko.

 

[Balore]

Great shading and great sprite. Thumbs up!

 

[Kiniko]

Wow, thank you all for the great comments! That was just a quick little shading job. I didn't know you all thought I was that good a spriter.

 

[crazymew]

heh, you'd be surprised man, it's a great shading job, and a great sprite

The metroid sprite. Critiques, please?

 

[Siege]

I'm guessing you havent done the shading as of yet. So far its good

 

[Alastyr]

Wow, that is a great sprite. I think her visor is a bit too small tho. You should make it maybe a pixel taller.

Neat metroid too; you did a good job with the shaping. I think the claws should be less saturated tho. And the green outline should be much brigter on the outer edges. The green part is the outer membrane, so it should appear to get more transparent as it approaches the center.

 

[Gmanjudo]

Higher contrast? with samus it was good, but with a smaller sprite, more contrast would be better. (in the claws most off all)

But any who, I like it.

To clerify as well, all linework is by Me and all shading is by Kiniko.

Wow, that is a great sprite. I think her visor is a bit too small tho. You should make it maybe a pixel taller.

I tried that, and I think it looks better as it is, looks more serious and as if she is large and looking down upon you... kind of...

It's shaded. Maybe I should make the palette a bit different..

The breasts on Samus are a little too big though. :P

Chest plate, not breasts...

and it sticks out very far... (scuttles off to find a referance...)

thats not the same suit, but it is the same basic thing.

 

[Alastyr]

Kinko, use more contrast. The palette you're using is matte, use a wider variety of shades! Do this especially for Samus; her suit looks like its made of plastic! Metal has a lot of contrast.

 

[Brimstone-x]

These are the kind of graphics I'd like to see more of on RMXP.org!

Great job!

 

[Kiniko]

ok. It's palette time..
