Huge heads, skinny bodies, weird muscles. These guys look like starving hobbits. The cyborg has strangely-shaped head too.

One more thing...
Anyone holding a flametrower would keep it as far away from his face as possible or he would have to wear a ski mask for the rest of his life. Since when do people give something that dangerous to a limping man? His robotic leg is longer that the other... What if he falls? Keep that in mind.

Deadline nears... make more sprites! We'd have trophies.

The last few daysÃ,  I worked on this:


Some of you might even recodnize it. It's a remake of an old Space Quest 2 screen.

I am not planning on making a remake or anything, this is just a test if I can do something like this...

I don't have much things left - the foreground bushes and that cliff...  I've been struggling with that cliff for too long. So help me... please.
Feel free to critic everything - colours, shading... Paintovers would  be extremely helpfull.

You know what to do... Draw me a sprite.

Topic is: "Reallity of the Norm." Your task is simple.. remake a character from the ROTN games. You can find info about over 100 characters:
http://ron.the-underdogs.info/characters.php

Choose one and start working. Keep the size under 150x150 and the colours under 16. That's it.

Wow, great. Thank you. I'd start one right away.

Huge sprites=Hard animation, bad shapes and stuff like that... Try smaller sprites for a start. Black outlines could work too. The theme is good, the shapes need to be more relaxed.

Proportions! You have alot of freedom with the cartoony style, but one thing should never be messed with - Arm lenght. Arms allways go to mid-thigh.

My advice is: Reduce the size, add a simple shade and reduce the saturation. Good luck. 

@Oz. Yup. It's one of those.

@Rix. I just used an old movie robot that looks like that.

@monkey. You are right... I just slapped the head on that body to see if it fits... Seems I should work on it more. The goal was to resemble the apes from the original "Planet of the apes" movie.

@ ProgZmax. I'd try that... It worked with the mushroom so I see highligting is a good idea indeed. 

Here is the newer version of the mushroom. I think it's near perfect:

So I've been experimenting recently. New styles, colours and so on. And I wonder if these sprites are good and how to improve them. I think the black outlines work good, but I still want to hear your critics...



Some random guy, the two sprite jam entries, alien A, alien B, a robot, some tall guy's head, an alien monkey and a giant evil mushroom.

It's great... now make a game! 

Ok, thanks, guys, you rule! This solved my problems.

This is a question that's been bugging me for quite a while... I want to take screens from one or two old Sierra Quests but It doesn't work. I know someone knows how to do it becouse I've seen screenshots of DOS games. So do you use a program or something? And how do I make them run in a window?

I don't know - it's an idea that needs critic...  :

Cliches... I've seen those things too often in movies.
I have 2 questions.

1.Why doesn't the guy call the cops? Thats the thing most people would do.

2. Did he kill a girl? That just doesn't sound like a guy I want to play with... Even if he didn't trowing a girl's body in a garbage container is nasty enough and it doesn't give the character any appeal.

E-mail? I thought you'd pm me or something... 
Checking it now...

You can allways search for some animation tutorials. As far as  I remember when the body moves up the hair moves down and the opposite.

Really? I couldn't tell.  :

only two are brave enough to stand
against the evil and those two are...

Teddy is the leader of the team... He is loud, but stupid. Fix is the brain, but people rarely listen to him. Together they defend the world from evil aliens, stunning crimminals and all kinds of other crazy scum... and get some pizza too.

Who likes american pron anyway? 

The baby isn't scary at all compared to its belly button...

Let's ban Hawaii!Ã, 

EDIT: This would look soo good on a t-shirt!

It doesn't really walk... it makes a step forward and returns. Lift his leg when he moves it forward and keep it on the ground when it moves back. Try walking around to see how it works...

Make the hair move a little... you know. Good work.
