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

Taken from danbooru (the place that charges you 20$ to get the same pics than pixiv )

Introduction to Pixiv
Pixiv is an image sharing site where artists upload their work. Images can be searched by tags, rated, and favourite’d, similar to Danbooru.

Users can add friends to their own group like social networks, or bookmark people to “watch” their space. There are lots of nice works on Pixiv (just waiting to be uploaded to Danbooru), but to access them, you need to register for a free account.

Step 1 : Go to http://www.pixiv.net and click on the orange “Sign up now” button.

Step 2 : Fill in your email address, and click the button saying “???”

Step 3 : A verification email will be sent. Open the email, and click the link in it to continue.

Step 4 : Now you’ll have to fill in your profile. This is the longest part.

pixiv ID: 3 to 32 characters long, alphanumeric characters, hyphens and underscores only. Uppercase characters will be converted to lowercase. You cannot begin or end the ID with hyphens or underscores.

??? (Password): 6 to 32 characters long. Fill in both with the same password.

??? (Nickname): The name others will see you as. 15 characters max.

HP??? (Homepage address)

For the next 5, there is a dropdown box on the right. First selection means “Everyone can see this information”, second means “Only people in MyPixiv can see this information” and third is “No one can see this information”

?? (Gender): ? (Male) or ? (Female)

??? (Blood type): Straight forward.

?? (Address): Last option, ?? means Foreign (as in, not in Japan.)

??? (Date of birth): Straight forward again.

?? (Occupation): I’m not going to translate all of these, so you can choose the last one (Something else)

??? (Self introduction): Here you’ll HAVE to type in something to complete the registration.

Step 5 : Login with your pixiv ID and password.

Now when you go to http://www.pixiv.net/mypage.php you’ll see your home page. The first thing you’ll notice are some images in the middle of the page, under the heading “???”. This is everyone’s newest artwork. Under these you’ll see ???, which means “show more”, and you’ll be able to page through them like on Danbooru.

On the right, you’ll see the top 3 images for the day, links to #4 to #10, and the same for the top 10 images of the week. Under each of these is the top #100 list. On the left, you’ll see your avatar, under this the list of people in your “MyPixiv”, and under this, a list of all the people you’ve bookmarked. If you click on your avatar, you’ll go to your profile, where you can change your avatar (???) and edit your profile.

On the search bar on the top right, you’ll be able to search for specific tags (in Japanese). If you change the option from ?? to ???, it will search in image captions rather than tags. You can click on ??? for a list of tags. ??? brings up a random selection of images, instead of most recent.

On the top left you’ll always see ??? (Home), ??? (Invite a friend) and ??? (Logout).

When you click on an image, you’ll have a medium size version of the image in the middle, which you can click again to open the full size, the artist’s avatar on the left, with the following links under it:
??? - A link to their page/profile
??? - Bookmark this user
??? - Add user to MyPixiv
When you try and bookmark a user, it will bring a dialog asking if you want everyone to be able to see this user in your bookmarked users list, and then a confirm button. If you try to add someone, you will have a box where you need to type a message to the person, followed by a confirm button.

Above the image will be the tags for it (blue links, with a red one to the right). Towards the top right, you can rate the image on a scale of 1 to 10. Pixiv keeps track of ??? (How many people viewed the image), ??? (How many people voted), and ??? (Total score). To the left, you can see all the artist’s tags. If you click on them, it will bring images by the current artist with those tags.

The button right above the image to the right, ???, lets you bookmark an image. To view all the images you’ve bookmarked, when you’re on your home page, click on the button on top titled ??? (Usually the 4th one). Underneath the image theres a text box and button for adding comments.

Remember: You have to be logged in to see images or pages. You cannot hotlink them AFAIK. And don’t forget to add artist tags when you upload the images here.

And apologies for the wall of text

Or just use google translator, I got in there that way. If you still have problems send me a PM.

thanks Cronopio, it works!

i clicked on those ken and ryu sprites and it looks like the poster’s name is KO-KI. don’t know if this person was the one who edited them though.

They aren’t edits, and yes he is the person whom created them.

wow really? that’s odd because they are eerily similar to CVS ryu and ken sprites:confused:

It is indeed the same exact stance, and I’m more than sure it’s frame was used in recreating it. However, there was nothing carried over from the previous sprite, therefore it’s not an edit.

that may be but it even has the retarded thumb on his right hand. there’s no doubt KO-KI’s looks better. i saw another on his/her? site. i didn’t like it as much but it was a totally different style

Judging from the line width of those sprite edits, and screenshots of Kofxii where the sprites were obviously scaled, KOFXII may not be “hidef” like we all thought, but just a little more detailed than GG sprites (while being basically at the same resolution).
KO-KI said he made these sprite edits after doing nothing but playing kofxii at TGS.

He’s played SVC Chaos? That’s the first thing that came in my mind once I saw it. It does look very much like the new KOFXII series. For a cross up game?

And Poot isn’t completely wrong. He could have used CVS as a base.

[NeoBlood]

I gotta admit I would call those Ken and Ryus higher resolution, but not Hi Def. They are as big as GGX and up sprites, which were done in 640x480. Just my two cents. That said, they are fantastic, and Ive been wanting a Capcom/Arc game forever now.

[Cronopio]

KOFXII may not be “hidef” like we all thought

KOF XII is a 720p game.

Also yeah, that’s clearly a CVS edit.

[Providenceangle]

When I see the sprites on my screen I’ll agree yes or no.

They look like roughly 2.3 times what we have now, but without actually looking at it. I haven’t seen 1:1 at 720p yet. Gametrailers had video of a moniter that’s the best I’ve seen.

Once I get to see actual captured video I’ll judge for myself if it’s actual 720p or blown up sprites.

On another note: I did finish up some more sprites but it’s going to have to wait for my install of Vista. Currently on a new 500gb HDD, once I’ve finished up everything I’ll start transfering files from my other HDD.

[pootnannies]

yeah that ryu and ken certainly have a kof12 vibe to them. hopefully KO-KI will make a lot more:lovin:

[Providenceangle]

Sorry it’s a blow up. It’s the same as the sprites I’ve been doing so far… I’ll post a picture to show as soon as I can get my damn OS working properly.

[Providenceangle]

Yay! My sprites are 720p too lol.

Nice

[Providenceangle]

After looking at a lot of the stuff from KOF12… I have to admit: I can’t stand the way Athena and Ash look… Ash is a girly guy yeah but come on they made him half his original size…

[pootnannies]

i like the way athena looks but i do admit there’s something “funny” about her

[Providenceangle]

I hate Vista OMG… Lost all my stuff… Well guess I can’t post anything… Not even the stuff I was working on sadly. I won’t be taking on the requests I was doing before, I just can’t bare to do it all over again, and hope Vista won’t die again.
