basically this is for people who get confused and are new to spriting, this is sorta a more pokemon style focused, illistrated version of AHD's thread

:claps:

It does annoy me to see a bltant recolor being shoved in our faces as a re/devamp.

[FoxHound!]

exaclty, although according to AHD they're the same thing ¬.¬

[Esupio]

AHD is right partly
cause you recolour an old sprite to make it look new XD
but nice I should do one of these things sometime

[FoxHound!]

no, you normally take away the previous sprite, stripping it to the outline, then add a base colour and shade from there

That's still a recolor, now an EDIT thats when you change the anatomy, add on parts, etc.

[Jarman]

Revamping and devamping are types of recoloring, since you're changing the sprites colors.

[FoxHound!]

since when did recolouring involve changing/editing shading?...NEVER

[Act]

No, true Revamping is called 'frankensteining'. It's reducing the sprite to the bare bones and literlly putting every pixel back anew.

[FoxHound!]

exactly, frankensteining isn't recolouring

[Umbreon's Shadow]

Of course not,If revamps were recolors,then people would have BIG problems shading,or even making any decent sprites,even if its stupid triangles.So TRUE revamps are NOT recolors.

[MegaFuz]

Act is right, I believe. ^^ If you simply recolor an older sprite with newer colors, that is a recolor. However, if you completely erase all shading, and re-shade with newer/older colors, then it's considered a revamp/devamp.

Jarman: I think your idea of revamps/devamps is a little off. :\ That mindset is what Act was talking about in his earlier post. [People trying to pass off recolors as revamps/devamps]

[FoxHound!]

the thing is, pixeltendo ban recolours, but they let you revamp and post it down there

[Umbreon's Shadow]

Every forum should ban recolors,never knew that though,but good rule.But as Fuzz said,re-shading an old sprite is a revamp,not recoloring.

[MegaFuz]

I think I would dance a little jig if PC ever banned recolors. That would solve a big piece of the puzzle I will never understand: recolors and fusions getting more attention than quality scratch sprites.

[Umbreon's Shadow]

I admit i make fusions,but i still prefer making customs,its much better.I think i would also dance if PC banned recolors.It would help make people improve,by having them resorting to other things.

[FoxHound!]

exactly, most people here never come off the bloomin recolours

[Jarman]

Meh, I always get Frankensteining and Recoloring messed up.

And if recolors and fusions were banned here, only about 5 people would still be able to post sprites. Which would be awesome.

[Umbreon's Shadow]

I wouldnt say 5,but it wouldnt be big either.Due to stupid calculations i made,only 1.79% of the PC members can do custom sprites.

[MegaFuz]

LOL. 1.79%??? How did you figure that out? Even that number seems high though. 1.79% of the regular posters in HotS maybe...hmph...
