Why not One more A Flag
New Idea:What About Sets we customize our Stick And the lazer eyes i got in my stick
is a weapon
Good New Sword I got a very good tip to make swords
and i added PNG Like you guys said

Its not an idea for S02 should of put this on Media
just to Show If this is a good Sprite
I see an octagon, a circle, a triangle, and a rectangle; there isn't really much to think about. Keep trying ;).

My First Sprite Called Stone Bird
What Do you think
(http://i47.tinypic.com/4imoet.jpg)
Why, that's the SO player sprite's head taken off and put on a rectangle.
I usually get mad at obvious plagiarism with sprites but it's so funny and somewhat cute that I enjoy it, hah.

Yeh i toked Off the head And The Bomb Was the Same im Currently Makeing A Pistol Right Now
Dude put more effort into your sprites, at least make em look decent and a bit more complex then just simple shapes. Trust me you'll get better by being creative, and a few tutorials will get you set. I will admit the stone bird made me lol :P
At least draw your own circles.
Quote from: EpicPhailure on January 18, 2010, 11:16:36 PM

Exactly, the bomb is just the stick mans head coloured in with a line on it.
I bet he'll find a way to make the pistol using the stick man's head, or the legs/arms lol.

That would be too Hard But I will keep Drawing Also The Stick Was Made by MS paint

You use tutorials? YOU SHOULD BE MAKING THEM. Your work is amazing <3

Your on your way kid...
Your sprites are pretty sucky. It's not surprising, and it's just a fact of life. However, you won't get better unless you keep practicing, so I wholeheartedly encourage you to keep at it.
EDIT: Just noticed the bow. I can already see some improvement.
Also, don't even bother trying to animate until you've got a fairly firm handle at making basic sprites.

oh hey crozier remeber me
Yes Chaos they are Sucky But im a Beinnger Or whatever I will try to be better
Can you give me some pointers
Updated Stone bird V2
is it good Chaos :/
I found that when spriting it's best to follow my heart.
I'm just going to try not to say anything...though I don't think it'll last.

Next Adding Maybe: New Flag
Added Custom Stick Set I like this Alot
Adding New Set
Jesus quit multi posting just edit one of your posts. >.<
Don't quit your day job :D
I think you should stray away from the well known shapes, they're making your sprites look very bland. Also try not to make your sprites symmetrical, as that also doesn't make them very interesting to look at.
I can't even see the pictures?
What's considered as a sprite? I don't quite know really...
I see you are improving. Keep up the good work!
@yottabite Simply a picture used in a game.
Well that could really be anything. It's hard to say if it's good if I have nothing to compare with :-\

thanks 11Clock Sorry For MultiPosting +_+
I will keep makeing sprites now And the guy who asked
me who can't see it Your computer might be old cause
everyone see it
sain one thing you should do is try to make something from your own mind, or if you are adventurous and willing to spend some time, try finding other people's sprites and use them as reference on how things should or might be done. although look at art that is above your own current abilities so that you can progress. start with small sprites with simple shapes so that you can get an understand of shape and design. if you truly want to become better study professional sprites, look what colors they used and where and maybe why.
sorry im probably not much help, but then again i stink at teaching hahaha or explaining myself to others. quick question if you dont mind answering it, how old are you because you seem young too me, if you arent young i apologize for thinking so.
a really good site for tutorials and sprite art. http://www.pixeljoint.com/

I already went to that website And yes i am young only 11 years old
i knowed Stick online when i was 9 =D Cool Huh I tried to make a gun
that looks like a good one But Failed But Right now im Watching my Anime
I will keep Doing Sprites Later
well glad to hear you are continuing to try, that is key to getting better, and patience. when you start out you are probably gona get frustrated because you cant produce what you envision, hell i still have that happen and ive been doing this stuff for a few years hear and there.
also i was thinking you were about 10 or 12 and its a good thing you are starting now while you are young :) if your school offers art classes later you might want to take a few, they can help with spriting even if you cant draw, like me hahaha.
Honestly, I would practice drawing. It helps a lot, since a lot of the same concepts carry over from one to the other.
My entire experience with spriting was from doing a lot of doodling and from observation on sprites from commercial games. Look at what they did and think about why they did it, and why it makes the object look good. Stick Online 2's blob was the first sprite I made for a game, with no real previous practice, not including the shitty original version of my Goldenblade RPG.

The sword is much better then anything else you've done so far, good job.

But Chaos my avatar captivates the truly simpler style of your old work from that classic game of yours!

That is from my ill-advised sequel to my Goldenblade RPG, though, which actually had markedly better sprite-work compared to its predecessor game. That's about when I decided "Why the heck should I make a sequel with improvements to the concept? I'll remake the FIRST game with improvements instead and get the concept right the first time!"
And I don't regret it.
Incidentally, sword looks okay. Is it supposed to be squared off on the end there?
Probably the best advice you will ever get related to spriting; Save your pixel-art sprites as a PNG.

Guys i think im geting Better
But i need better Shadeing give me
some tips Plz
(http://i45.tinypic.com/k15cty.png)
Wow.
I've been watching your progress over the last few days, and while you're still a beginner, you have without ceasing shown a steady and noticeable improvement in your sprites. Obviously you need to learn shading and some good techniques, but your style (particularly that V4 sword) has become much more polished and neat than the scribbles you originally posted.
Keep up the good work.

Shading is actually pretty easy once you grasp the concept of it, or at least it was for me.

grasp the concept of it how I need Tips PLZ or a video
Thx you
It's quite simple, really - you just use increasingly dark shades of a color to signify that a surface is becoming less and less exposed to a light source.
(http://www.calit2.net/~jschulze/misc/spinoff/cube.gif)
Here's a really basic example I found on Google - a simple, six sided cube. Due to the laws of perspective, you can only see a maximum of three sides, but that's irrelevant for now. All you need to know is that the first side of the cube is bright green, and the second and third sides are dark green and darker green (proper color description fail) respectively. Based on the exposure to the light source, (in this example, the top-left corner of the window) the sides are darker shades of the exact same color of green. The first side is pointing directly at the light source, so naturally it will be the lightest color. The second sade is pointing slightly upward to the light source, but is on the other side of the cube, so it's slightly darker. And the third side is pointing down from the light source, so naturally it's going to be the darkest side.
Just simple shading is a vital part of creating nice-looking sprites, and eventually, even 3D graphics.
I can always give you more examples if you need 'em. I hope this helped somewhat. :P
Also take note that it's not always necessary to make extremely smooth transitions between shades. often times only two shades of a color are needed to represent lighting. I see a lot of beginners use gradients for the shading, and it looks absolutely horrible.

This. Unless you're trying to establish some sort of fully-rendered 3D model of a building, then one or two shades are generally fine. Try to avoid gradients as much as possible.

Shading is quite easy to do but to show detail in sprites gets tricky.. ive also watched your progress and i've seen a massive improvement keep going :D
I see Now I see some White lines on my avater girls hair
I will try ;D
Edit.(http://i50.tinypic.com/347cytu.png)
Do you mean like this
(http://i47.tinypic.com/ogr9u.png)
I got it Shaded isn't it Great I love Makeing Swords
:D Does anyone got Animation progams I can use to
Animate it Thx you.
I must say you have improved VERY VERY much since your last sprite! Keep the work coming :)
