I need to start putting my name and url on pictures, holy crap. Im looking at that Newgrounds contest now and I had never heard of it, so I thought that somebody had stolen my artwork, but I went trough the entire contest and my piece wasnt there … so yeah, confusing. Not a big deal though.
Concerning the comments, yeah those hands are off. I was trying to stay within the sprite (which has really big hands) and the fact that I think a person that beats people up all day would have manly hands, but they do look weird. I found that these sprites don’t always translate well to re-traces in HD due to weird anatomical choices that you wouldn’t make if you had started with HD (good example being her original hips, those are INSANE! I tried to tone them down in my remake) Since that original sprite was made with severe limitations in mind, they went with something very extreme in places that would read great from far away.
srk subscriptions fail hardsauce. i wasn’t notified of this thread being updated.
about the morrigan sprite, it’s also important to keep in mind that capcom sprites are stretched by default so they can appear a little weird, just like morrigan’s ass and hips. Zwei_Fuss had a mini tutorial about a page back on how to stretch the sprite to it’s intended dimensions.
First time doing an HD sprite so I’m having a hard time and it doesn’t look very good, but here’s a WIP of a Rosa (Kizuna Encounter) sprite I’ve been trying to do today, trying to (crappily) imitate her hairstyle in Hiroaki’s art
Well I finally got around finishing this, the hair and the bullet belt look like shit but I really can’t make them look better, I should have chosen an easier char to make my first sprite
I made a version using black outlines and another using coloured outlines, I personally don’t like the coloured one at all but I’ll put it in there for people who don’t like black outlines.
man the thread subscription feature on srk is full of fail. never got notified that this thread had some new posts in it. good stuff zsoujiro! i’m working on some and hopefully they’ll be done soon.
Awesome! Finally, another person who appreciates/understands the whole aliased pixel-art look of traditional sprites (over the drawn and scanned HDR style).
But the face! I really need to rework the face. I was just so sick of it after all the time I poured into it. I’ll make an effort to fix it, even if I have to put some typical anime face.
seriously if that shit was done with mega blockbuster type makeup and costume effects, touched up by computers post and done at very high frames per second it could actually look good.
imho.
next time somebody is makeing a film and a game to go with it they should think about it.
Still got some work to do on this one. Like adding details, drawing his right arm (he doesnt have one in the original sprite) and change a few things with the current arm =)
