I'm trying a particular method for creating sprites--namely, taking an image, converting it to 16 color, painting in major areas black and white, and converting the rest to monochrome. If I were to tell you the context is Starcraft, could you tell me what these two buildings are? I'm asking so that I can know how well I'm doing. These sprites will be for Starcraft: Zeratul.

O.O
All I can say is WOW! I think the CC might need some retouches at the top because a few pixels are missing, though.
Why is this in Randomness instead of pixel art, though? ???
-
dang, it's been forever since i last played starcraft...
a supply hut-thing(what are they called?) and a command centre? they look perfectly fine to me.
-
Barrack and command center.
shmibs do you still have SC btw?
-
I'm thinking barracks and command center, although I don't play starcraft often (don't have it) so I'm not the best person to ask.
They look amazing though!

Ah, thanks for catching that. I will say, I had to make the barracks small to save tile space, so that took A LOT more touching up than the CC did
-
ah, so the barracks is smaller than usual, that's probably why i didn't recognise it...
oh, and dj: i have not played starcraft in a year (ever since my father killed XP and i had to do a clean install i haven't been able to install any games.) i will definitely get back into it at least some during college, however.

Yeah, I'm making the Nexus, Hatcheries, Command Centers, Lairs and Hives 64 x 64, and the rest 32x32 or 16 x 16. So the sizes will be a little bit out of proportion.
-
I guess it kinda makes sense, though, since those are the main buildings.
@Shmibs ah ok, I hope you have some free time at college, though. It can be hectic, sometimes. X.x
-
Here's a couple more. If you guys recognize them, I'll be at full confidence and won't need to ask about anymore that I work on ;D
-
Hmm, not sure, although by the size of the first, I guess it's the supply depot, right?
Also is the second one the factory?

Right on both. Okay, I'm confident now ;D Thanks!

Dang, those are some nice looking sprites :P I recognize them easily enough with the knowledge that it's starcraft, but otherwise I'd have a harder time placing what they do exactly :P

That's just it. I have one for the bunker, but it's so small that no one would recognize it unless I told them it was from Starcraft
-
I've seen starcraft being played only about 4 times in my life (all while watching over the shoulder of a friend), and I could definitely tell that the first two original pictures were from starcraft even without looking at the context provided. That is an awesome method of spriting.

Cool :D
