Hi-Def Sprite thread (first post updated! 1/9)

thanks for the complements guys. i wish i could change the thread title but it won’t let me anymore. want to let people know that this thread has been updated again. anyways, i can see that pc1x1’s av is finally COMPRETE! cool

pootnannies…that sean u made made me cry, it made me cry so much that i put it on my myspace and made a avatar of it…

btw puttin it on my myspace… could u like do a Signature @ the bottom 2 make it more offical??

quick q, did you just look at the sprites and drew them on paper. or you take the spriter and adjust them on the PC? i think ill make one as well, if it was drawn at least. i hope you didnt use a mouse, otherwise shits gonna be hard.

find original sprite.

copy sprite onto new layer

transform/enlarge original sprite 450% height and width.

lower opacity to 50% or lower.

make a new layer for linework.

with the pen tool trace over the character lines indicating muscle definition, wrinkles on clothing, facial details etc and any other fixes that need doing ie. body proportion, mass sizes.

when turning the pen paths to lines turn ‘anti-alias’ off for the pixel look like my sprites are using or keep ‘anti-alias’ on for smoothed out lines like poots.

once you have your line it’s just a matter of colour and shading, this is where you can stay faithful to the original sprite or add your own flare.

by the end i usually have these layers ‘look below’, you may make the colour and shade layers one layer which i do sometimes as it’s easy to select a batch of colour, but if the shades are nearly identical you will come across problems when selecting.

  1. lines
  2. shades
  3. colours
  4. sprite copy
  5. orig. sprite
  6. back

by using the pen tool for your lines you can either use a mouse or a tablet, it’s easy either way

i should have done a signature but i just never though of it before. of course i don’t want to take full responsibility for the sprite, just the restoration part. i’ll go back and put one on there soon

exactly. i made a tutorial on the fan art forum a while back. don’t know where it is now but it wasn’t very good

cool

wow, nice modifications you guys. pootnannies this thread’s really cool. very interesting… i think i’m a little tempted tomess around with these sprites too. downloads psds

Very nice stuff man. Have you done any of Sakura or Karin yet, just tell me to back track if you have.

there hasn’t been any sakura or karin’s yet. i’m currently working on a sprite that i’ve wanted to do for a long time so maybe when that one’s done i can get to one of them. however, there are others in here who can do HD sprites as well so if they want to tackle sakura or karin’s sprites then the wait won’t be so long

Eh, just curious. But if you do ever decide to do a HD version of either, there’s no rush either.

it’s been a while so i decided to drop a sprite in here. this is the first frame of hanzo’s stance in samurai shodown 1. i am currently animating this in hi def but it will be a while until it’s done. anyway here’s the first frame

Here’s another Video Game War, full of Hd sprites.

NeoBlood or Blackmind: Do you take requests?

If so, can you please make an HD sprite of

I just blew up the sprite to a larger size with photoshop, but if you want the original size, I can upload it tonight.

Thanks in advance!

nice! you got some really old school shit in there. keep it up:rock:

Thanks Poot! I may do a fourth one, but I’m not sure. You know about Marathon? Thought I’d be one of the only ones.

i got that game when it first came out on mac. i had a really, really, shitty mac that played the game like 2 fps and i still finished it.

Great game. You can download it for free courtesy of Bungie at:

trilogyrelease.bungie.org

I think it’s supported on windows.

I’ll try to tackle this one just cuz Iori is freakin cool. Been a while since ive posted anything on here because my apt got robbed, and all my most expensive stuff got stolen including my laptop with all my art on it. Ill probably post the line work up tonight since that doesnt take me very long to do. And go ahead and post the original sprite if you could please.

Hey thanks a lot!

Here are 2 screenshots I took of the original sprite. The first one is the exact game original, the second is the game sprite with the built in filters to smooth out the characters.
