Hi, I`m Ricktendo and known for my sprites.
I do Fusions http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/smeargle.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/fusion1-2.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/fusion59.jpg Recolors http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/batchrecolor2.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/batchrecolor.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/recolors-1.jpg Sigs http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/sig2.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/sig1resized.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/wearethestarters.jpg |
Your sprites are saved as Jpeg and not Png hun
|
What does that mean? I always saved it like that...
|
If you save as png you won't get a white background.
|
I don`t really care if you want me to change the background I will but I`d like some requests. Click the link in my sig to go to my shop on another site or even post here I need requests.
|
actually when you save it as Jpeg it becomes all grainy and ugly, saving it as png is more crisp and more prettyfull ^.^
|
Ok, I`ll do that in future but the ones up there looks good enough. Thanks for the tip. Any request?
|
.Jpg format does heavy pixel discoloration and distortion to the sprites to fit in with the limitations of that filetype. You will NEVER want to save any pixel work in this format ever. This is a common beginner's mistake.
There are only two acceptable file types for saving sprites in and that's Png and Gif. Png stands for portable net graphics and not only will not distort your pixels, but this file type can also support transparency. It is also a nice compact file type too, so it doesn't take up too much room. This is the number one format you will be using as about 90% of computers running Paint support this extension. Gif can be good as well, but you need to be very careful with it. Like Png, it can support transparency and can even be used for making animations. It also has a nice compact filesize. However, the real dangers with this type come from working in Paint itself. If you finish up a sprite in Paint and save t as a Gif straight from there, you will get a warning pop up with a yes or cancel button. If you go ahead and click yes, you're screwed. Go and open back up your file and you'll see what I mean. Gif discoloration can be just as worse as jpg due to the explosion of pixels everywhere. Only attempt to save images as gif in professional Software like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. There's also the bmp file format, but this is in no way able to be used for uploading. Bitmaps are raw picture files and as a result, they are grossly large, easily extending into the 1+ megabyte range. Saving in bmp is perfectly fine for saving your progress so far and continuing another day, but never for a final result. In fact, most upload sites won't even take bitmaps. Photobucket, for example, will convert any bmp files to jpg upon uploading and we already know the downsides to that. Here's some examples of what I mean: Standard sprite saved as jpg in Paint: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/kingofanime/spritejpg.jpg Standard sprite saved as gif in Paint: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/kingofanime/spritegif.gif Standard sprite saved as png in Paint: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/kingofanime/spritepng.png As you can see, the images speak for themselves. |
Ok, i'm doimg it see http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/smeargle.jpg
Now please stop telling me about it I know and maybe start with a few requests;) |
No, you're still saving in jpg. :/
I'll give you a relativly simple request to see if you really are listening. Jigglypuff and voltorb. |
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/ricktendo/jigglypuff.png Here now are you all happy?
|
That's the first step on the journey to pixelling. ;)
|
I don't know what you're talking about much... I do lots of theese on GTS and i never see pixels like on this site...
|
You must have been blissfully unaware then because jpg lasts forever. They don't magically change quality between sites.
|
Sprite shops, as stated in the Pixel Art rules, are not permitted under any circumstances in the Pixel Art section. Furthermore ricktendo, there is no need to be rude towards those who are trying to help you.
Now I shall be leaving this thread open, but no more requests shall be discussed within this thread - it is only to remain for the showcase of sprites. Banners don't have a place in this section by the way, they belong over in Graphics & Photography. |
