Spriting Tutorial

[Belzeebub]

I don't know if this is the right place to place it, but here is my tutorial anyway. Someone asked me to tudor them in making my fakemons, and I kinda' felt inspired and made this tutorial so more then one could learn.
I hope it doesn't violence some rule:

Well thanks for your contribution, I'm sure it'll be of assistance to members here.

This is a great tutorial on hardcore fusions. I definitely recommend beginning spriters use this tutorial to improve their skills and eventually move onto doing scratch work. Nice job, Belzeebub.

It's good to see Pixel artists contributing to the community

This should prove very helpful to less experienced pixel artists who want to leave the boundaries of normal fusions.

[Belzeebub]

Thank you all for those kind words.
I just hope it is clear enough since I am no good at explaining things O.o

This'll be a great help to both the beginner and experienced spriters. Good job.

That was me who asked you to tutor me Belzeebub. That's awesome, I couldn't even tell that the Fakemon was made from Marshtomp Squirtle and Wooper. I'm gonna go try it soon.

Thank you!

Also where do you get your sprites from?

Wow! Nice tutorial. I think others will like this =D

[Belzeebub]

Thank you all (again). Didn't know so many people would actually like it

And for Blazed (which I maybe should have included from the beginning) I get my sprites from Pokemon Elite 2000 which is a really great site!

The drawing of it without shading looked like Tessie from Earthbound. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Do you use Microsoft Paint, because whenever I try to copy and paste the sprites from Pokemon Elite 2000, the background ends up turning black, and it takes much longer to actually make it white, because when you use the fill bucket tool, the outline kinda goes missing...

So do you take the time to get rid of the black background, or is there any easier way?

I can't say I have that problem, when I copy it and paste it in MS Paint there is no black background. But you could allways try and use Print Screen and see if that works.

Blaziken_Boy: Haha sorry, dunno who that is.

haha, lovin the tutorial man! it should be helpful to everyone around here, from newbs to pros who need assistance or need to be reminded.. maybe even inspiration? either way, its good to see a contribution like this.

Never thought it was that simple.

I'm an expert in paint to some people (on other forums) at differant things. So i'm gonna give it a go.
