Title: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 06:48:55 pm
Hello,
Is it in accordance with the contest rules to have someone else do your sprites?
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 28, 2010, 06:52:36 pm
It is. It can affect originality if everything is done by someone else but it barely have much signifiance on the final score.

Cool, thanks!
In that case, it would be really cool if some of the awesome spriters here in Omnimaga could help me out.  I need sprites of the following in 4 level grayscale, taking up roughly half of the screen (Click for full size):

are those supposed to be different outfits that the player can wear?
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 07:44:35 pm
No, different characters in the game.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: tloz128 on August 28, 2010, 07:46:01 pm
so you just want their torsos?
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 07:50:06 pm
Right.  Here's an example of where they would be used:

Wouldn't you need the faces too or do you have them already?
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 28, 2010, 09:02:37 pm
Done.

ooh, nicely done, Raylin. I wish I had even somewhat decent spriting skills.  I am a horrible artist.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 28, 2010, 09:14:21 pm
Actually, there is a pixel off in the hair.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 28, 2010, 09:16:49 pm
Ok I discovered we had to click the images to see full sprites x.x

Thanks to someone in #cemetech who saw the Omnimaga post notice :P

I did not bother checking further than the first, though, because the image site runs incredibly slowly.

Also Nice job Raylin.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: MRide on August 28, 2010, 09:17:14 pm
I didn't notice. :P
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 09:35:23 pm
Thanks Raylin!  That's really good!  Still need a few more, most important are this (http://www.gamekyo.com/images19_4_23219.html) one, this (http://www.gamekyo.com/Webmasters/Images/61191020071218_005632_11_small.jpg) one, this (http://www.gamekyo.com/images10_4_23219.html) one, and this (http://www.gamekyo.com/images15_4_23219.html) one.

/me loves this sprite and thinks the addition of those cutscenes will spice up SirCmpwn game a lot
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 10:18:01 pm
Raylin is an amazing person.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 28, 2010, 10:19:06 pm
Yeah and I notice he is also a very good spriter/sprite converter too ^^
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 28, 2010, 10:21:59 pm
I don't use sprite converters. I MSPaint. :)

ALL DAY BOOOOOOIIIIIII!!
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 28, 2010, 10:38:36 pm
Aah ok, I see, well you are good at that stuff that's for sure. :)
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: yunhua98 on August 28, 2010, 10:48:23 pm
well I use converters first and I'm proud of it.  :P
idk though, it doesn't really look like it would fit with Raylin's sprites...
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 10:50:34 pm
It looks nice, but I agree that it may not fit quite right.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: yunhua98 on August 28, 2010, 10:55:22 pm
I do loves paint resizing.  :p

edit:  FEEL FREE TO EDIT
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 28, 2010, 10:56:40 pm
Hmm it seems to have distorted a bunch of the pixels...

Too bad because the initial sprite you posted looks nice.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 28, 2010, 10:58:22 pm
Lin done.

THAT is epic.  (Not to mention fast.  ;))

EDIT:  my gif titles are awesome.  how'd you think this would fit in?
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 28, 2010, 11:36:45 pm
Awesome, guys!
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 28, 2010, 11:51:31 pm
Will done.

Wow, very nice! Those look really good Raylin :) Good job too yunhua98.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 29, 2010, 02:26:57 am
By the way, if yunhua98 is still working on any, please use a color palette that is the same as Raylin's, cause I whipped up a quick program to convert his images.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 29, 2010, 07:39:45 am
@yunhua98: Just in case you're not sure, if you use MSPaint (not Paint.Net), I use black, white, and the two shades of grey next to that.

Working on Isabella now.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: yunhua98 on August 29, 2010, 08:16:16 am
That's what I'm using too
I think some of the colors got distorted when I saved it as a 16 color bitmap
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 29, 2010, 08:32:18 am
Save it as a PNG. Bitmaps are evil.

(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/1283085302-isabella.PNG)

Isabella done.
EDIT: Moved mouth up one pixel.

I believe that is all of your sprites, SirCmpwn?

EDIT 2: I just want you guys to know that this was my first time drawing ANYTHING in greyscale that was actually humanoid in nature. Just look at the progression. :P

Those are awesome :o
Makes me wish I had even a speckle of artistic ability :(
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 29, 2010, 11:33:51 am
Wow, thanks Raylin!
Those are the ones I need for the first part of the campaign, but all of the characters from my earlier post show up at one point or another.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 29, 2010, 12:13:40 pm
Actually, I have been holding back on the smiles on the characters because zoomed in, they look like rapist smiles.
Do you want some smiles besides Will or no?

Also, I had forgotten that there are some legit badasses in Days of Ruin.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 29, 2010, 12:21:53 pm
Naw, smiles or not, either is fine.  By the way, a 24-bit bitmap is the format I've been converting Raylin's sprites into for my program to generate hex for.  However, if it's not too much work, could you get the hair out of Isabella's face and let us see her other eye?  And if its possible to bring the left flap of the jacket (her perspective) across to the middle a bit more, can you try that out?  Plus, in the pic, she's standing pretty straight, but you have her slouching a bit.
Sorry if this seems at all demanding, I really appreciate your work here.

Done.

Or did you want more?

Post by: SirCmpwn on August 29, 2010, 12:31:32 pm
Damn!
Thanks Raylin!
You are my favorite person of the day *two days in a row*!
If we can have this one (http://www.gamekyo.com/images16_4_23219.html (http://www.gamekyo.com/images16_4_23219.html)) done next, that will be enough characters to do the first several missions.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest

Yeah! The tutorial guy! I think...

I'm on it.

Oh no!  :'(

I'm gone for like a week and all these sprite requests come in? Oh man, it also looks like I missed most of the fun too. Excellent job with the ones I've seen so far Raylin. If only I weren't so busy ...  :(
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: SirCmpwn on August 29, 2010, 01:31:04 pm
Magic Banana, if you'd like to do some, I need all of the ones in my earlier post at some point.  Raylin has characters for the first few missions covered, though.

Post by: Magic Banana on August 29, 2010, 02:27:20 pm
Nah, I'm busy at the moment, as well as most of next week. :(  I used up the free time I had on a ship sprite for _player1537. I'm just sneaking in here to check out the latest posts. You are doing a great job with the ones you've done so far though. ;)

Hello,
Attached: Final bike, potential splash screen.  I modified Raylin's bike, and made my own splash screen :)
Rumor has it that Raylin is also working on a splash screen.
Title: Re: Sprites in the Contest
Post by: Raylin on August 29, 2010, 05:01:43 pm
Rumor confirmed.

This is a WIP though.

EDIT: Ripped out the hole in between the letters.

(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/1283115743-title-monochrome.PNG)

EDIT 2: Changed things.

(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/1283120236-title.PNG)

Done.

EDIT 3: Added a bit of greyscale.

Very nice Raylin!  I'll use my post above for the splash screen, and I will modify yours for the main menu.

This stuff is just epic. Awesome job Raylin. Also my favorite title screens are 2 and 4 :) (I like 4 more tho)
