happy april fool's day, aga. you sure do.
anyway, i'm off to bed.
good niht

hmm.. grim fandango. have to dig that back out.

* dasjoe plays grim fandango now. but with music, because it's awesome iirc.

it's soo comfy

i think it's kinda confusing when an avatar is used by more than one person.

i certainly wouldn't like anybody to steal my avatar. but it's branded, i guess no one would like to use it 

darth, i disagree. i know one copyprotection which actually works and has not been cracked.

operation flashpoint. pretty good, you didnt even notice that the crack went wrong. i was playing it on a lan, my shooting was very bad, getting worse, enemies obviously cheated, missions are unsolveable.
now that i've bought the game it runs fine

and, trackmania had a very difficult protection. took them about 7 months to break it. (for the latest patch, that is)

loominous, wow. thats a cool edit. i'll keep it to learn from.

but i'm nearly done with animating him, so i guess i'll only modify his face.
thank you guys for your replies. this thread may be closed now.

:o german forums! forgot about them.. what am i doing here?
i somehow like these forums better.

pod, i could give you a hand with that. just contact me.

me too.

i guess this post was kinda.. useless

er yeah. that's because the right sprite is shifted 1 px up. but why? heh, accident.

they're pretty lined up when their feet align properly. other thing is.. umm. perspective. yeah. guess that'll do it.



btw, i'll stop shooting your face off when you'll join my team. or when you stop shooting at me everytime we meet.

helm, that's hell of a sprite looks sweet.
but i try to keep my style, just fooling around.
i keep your edit for further reference. i guess i'll use some techniques you used on other sprites

and, i think for my first sprite its pretty wicked

anyway, i played a bit with it, reduced it to 20 colours, made the shirt more accurate (it's brown. dunno why it got green in the sprite)

so, here the (propably) final version:
and in small and again, original size

i guess the gestapo gets us first.
then a long, dark tunnel.
and then it shall be clear.

spooky?
add blood. loads of it.

joke aside, i'd do something about the panels, they're too clean
maybe some old newspaper on the floor, broken panels, as inc stated above.

tear the plan apart.
too many lights - remove at least half of them. and then break some of the remaining.

that's about what comes in my mind.

yeah, thats where the original pants did come from, i did a paintover, but i liked the look of it's general form, so i kept it. shame on me

i guess the arms look stiff because they're pretty long, and since that's a sprite of me.. (i'm rather tall)

i changed the neck and some minor shadin (shoes, shirt):



edit:
i keep the green suff - it's printed on the shirt
i'll have a look at the hair - but atm i'm quite satisfied with it. but propably you're right and it should be a bit lighter on the left side..

edit2:
oh, and btw, that orange on the shoes - it's the puma logo. i swear it's there. and in that color. i own the shoes

edit3:

got sideview? - yes! thanks.

100% sized - 800% sized

edit: see last post for sideview


800x zoom


normal view.

c&c welcome
thanks

photoshop has an excellent help system. just press f1 and wait for the window to pop open.
it's fully documented and easily understandable.

you'll need:

Photoshop 7.0 - Classroom in a Book
buy it. it's cool. all your friends will adore you for mastering photoshop. (that's a link, btw)

read this tutorial: (yes, all 4 pages of it)
http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/beginners-guide-adobe-photoshop/

if you still don't know about layers:
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/layers/intro.htm

then, when you can do all that stuff, go on and add text to your images:

PS:
don't even *think* about using filters for improving your images. especially abstain from using the lensflare filter.

etc. = et cetera
CTRL+V = paste.

happy to help

oh, by the way, you need some of these little bastards: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
should be enough

dl an iso, and use your key. it should be legal, since you only buy the right to use the software.. no matter in what form you get it.

Just resize the pictures 2x smaller with paint

don't you ever listen? resize properly!
look at the images closely and repaint missing pixels.

since i feel at least someone needs this soon i've already converted a sprite for zooty. er, for you.
