Sprite Advice ...

[Darth Mandarb]

Okay ... I wasn't going to post these, 'cause they're part of a game I'm working on which isn't near completion.  I have been working on this game for a few months and I decided last week to completely change the style/feel of the game.  (Some of you might remember the game from Games In Production forum a few months ago)

The game isn't really near completion but I wanted to get some advice/comments/critiques on these.

I'll post a few at a time:

 
Luke Skywalker - Return of the Jedi


Han Solo - A New Hope


Stormtrooper - All 3 Movies


Darth Vader - All 3 Movies

I decided to change style and do the game in the style of old Nintendo RPG's but with an Adventure Game interface.  So the characters look like old school sprites from RPGs but the game functions like a Space Quest.  Haven't decided about the background look/feel yet.  Any suggestions?

I also have Boba Fett, Chewbacca, a Gammorian Guard, Jabba the Hutt, and Yoda completed so far.

Let me know what you think of these and if you want to see more.

Wowie! these are great - and I remember your BG art from a little way back, which was very good as well. This is going to work really well, the Starwars universe is a great one for a good adventure (something that hasn't been done yet, I guess).
Make a Leia!

I would use pastel pink colours for the skins, I think you use too yellow ones (Liver problems  ) But as I told, I love the style.

[Timosity]

Very neat, I especially like the stormtrooper

[Darth Mandarb]

Thanks guys!

Farlander - I'll see about changing the skin color!  Thanks for the advice.

Here are some more:


Chewbacca - All 3 Films


Luke Skywalker (in Jedi robes) - Return of the Jedi


Boba Fett - All 3 films

Boba Fett is my favorite so far.

I love the style, I love the animations, I can already picture a screen full of storm troopers!!

[Evil]

Wow, those are great. You art is developing greatly.  I think the side views could use some work but they still look great. I would really like to see what kind of tile set is going to go with these.

(My favorite is Chewy )

[Darth Mandarb]

evil - thanks!  I definately agree about the side views.  They're my weakest spot right now!

I'm working on adding frames of animation to 'smooth it out' a little.

Here are some more:


Gammorian Guard - Return of the Jedi


Jabba the Hutt - Return of the Jedi


Yoda - Empire and Jedi

That's all I have so far.  I'm going to be working on some more today.  I'll post as I have them!

Thanks for all the good words

Very nice! Those animations are great! I like Yoda and Jabba the Hutt, and Luke especcially! The idea is great too, cause there are action games made about star wars when it should be adventure! j/k. It's a great idea .

[Flippy_D]

Very nifty indeed. Just..... really good. I can't find anything to criticise.

[Eggie]

Wow! These sprites kick too much arse!

[Czar]

LOL, i'm just listening 50 cent cuz his on tv, and i'm looking at yoda.... Man what a laugh...Your yoda has rythm  
Anyway, i love your style....

[aurynnz]

Nice Sprites -

I don't have a problem with the skin colour - pretty standard flesh tone - any more pink and it starts to CGA-ify it

=A=

[Hollister Man]

I love it, but here is my criticism.  Jabba's eyes are too small.  Luke in robes should have his face darkened slightly under the hood.  The last one is the gamoran guard.  I feel that for such a large guy, he should stomp a bit.  Maybe add an extra frame and make him walk like he means it.  I like the style, but he looks like he is riverdancing.  

PS: I think they all are great.  Just my input on what could improve.

[Neole]

Love em! Only crits - Yoda's neck too long and Chewbacca's front walk odd I think cos legs too wide apart.

[evilspacefart]

Your pixel art is really something, DM. Getting better all the time.
I also really liked the GI Joe ones. You've got a real good eye for pixel art.
Only crits: I can't do better, just to let you know, but I think Jabba's eyes should be a bit larger, lower, and further apart.

Awesome work.

[n3tgraph]

this game is gonna be great I feel it

But I'm a starwars fan, so heh,

the only thing you might want to look at is chewie's walking
great job

[Darth Mandarb]

Thanks everybody!

I'm going to be changing Jabba's eyes, lowering Yoda's head, and fixing Chewies walk.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the Guard's walk ... we'll see.  

I'm working on a version of Leia, C3-P0, and R2-D2 at present.

Any other suggestions of what you'd like to see?

[n3tgraph]

well Ben kenobi would be nice

[Nacho]

I agree with Neole that Chewie needs improvement (I´ve read somewere you agree also...) There is a frame where the feet´s plant appear like a dark blob, it´ s not realistic. I don´t see necessary to show Chewie´s eyes.

Keep on the good work ^_^
