Title: Treasure Chest Sprite Request
Post by: ztrumpet on October 11, 2010, 06:01:03 pm
Hi, I would like a Treasure Chest for use in one of my projects.  I can not seem to be able to make it look right, so I've turned to you guys.  Rest assured that you'll have credit in the readme if I use your sprite. :)

Criteria:
Viewed from the side (2d)
The height of the bottom of the chest is 6 pixels
The width of the chest is between 7 and 12 pixels.
The height of the lid looks right proportionally to the bottom of the chest.
The chest bottom is just a square, but the lid is like the letter D with the curves facing up.

Once I get a good sprite, I will also need it being animated all the way up to a 90 degree angle.  In other words, I also need a smooth animation of it opening.

Thanks!  I know you're all better spriters than I am and I can't wait to see how this looks. ;D

Yes, I'd like it empty. :)

That's a great sprite, but I need it from the side perspective, kind of like this:

Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough.  :-\

No, sorry again.  * ZTrumpet finds a pic from the correct angle:

Edit: Note that I do not want it to have any depth; only 2 dimensions. :)

EDIT: By the way ztrumpet, I don't think you ever mentioned what gray level you wanted.

if he's looking for smooth animation, i doubt it's a BASIC game.. which leaves ping and blox?

But if it's Elmgon, I thought Elmgon was just dual-layer ASCII? ???

Here we go :D I included several different styles but the basic template is there and free to change.  Let me know if you need any style or size changes.

Oooh, thanks!  I like the second one and will probably end up using it. :)
If anyone wants, they can post more ideas.  Every sprite provides more diversity and I'll consider them all. :)

Thanks Builderboy! ;D

:o I got ninja'd before I could even post. I had the sprites done for my attempt, I was just making a fancy animated GIF so you could see how well they animated.

That's...   ...so...   smooth.  Wow.  Thank you.  I'm not sure which I will be using, but it is likely that it will be a combination of the two.  Thanks Runer. ;D

Thanks yunhua.  I'm not sure which one I'm going to end up with; I think I need to get back to coding. :)

In yunhua version, I would just remove the small tip at the end of the 2nd frame. Otherwise, looks great too :)
