This thread is one year old today, and I'd just like everyone to know... I really am making more tutorials! Honest! The next two tutorials in the works are Trainer Backsprites and Establishing Shots; if there's a tutorial that you would like to see which isn't listed in purple at the bottom of the first post, let me know in a VM!

nmorr April 24th, 2010 6:23 PM

I can't wait for the next turtorial!

Thanks for the great tutorial, Chesu! I've been sitting on some fakemon ideas for a while, and now I feel confident that I can bring them to life.

Here is my first "good" sprite:
Sauraxe, Dark/Steel
Mostly from scratch, except for the arms.
What do you think?

One thing I don't see there is like a scratch sprite tutorial for like D P Plt HG SS Sprites.

When you said Overworld did u mean both DP FR LG Style or what?

You can use his tutorials for 4th gen sprites, you just need to remember that the limit is 80x80 for regular sprites instead of 64x64. And in his overworld tutorial he showed you with D/P/Pt, Fr/Lg and R/S/E for a large part of the tutorial.

I like it.
I do think the black portion of the tail needs some highlights though. You have plenty of gray colors already, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Well, it's not all that bad, really, especially for a first try. The only two problems I can really see are: A. His pose doesn't really look right. His legs are facing towards the front, but the rest of his body from the waist up is facing to the left. This looks very unnatural. Try to replicate the pose of your sprites in the mirror if it helps. If it looks or feels unnatural, then you should probably change your sprite accordingly; and B. The entire outline of his right arm is completely unshaded. Even though the light source is hardly hitting him there, it would at least look better if you got rid of that black outline.
I know I don't seem like one to mentor you on your spriting skills, but trust me, I've been doing it for a long time.

Here's my first few pokemon I sprited after this turtorial.

They're in my pokemon game so don't steal them,

No offense, nmorr, but I can't really tell what that sprite of yours is meant to look like. I guess it sort of looks like a new Rotom Forme. I'm not saying it's bad, though, I'm just curious as to what it might be based off of.

Chesu June 7th, 2010 7:27 PM

I like the colors on the second one, but like Swinoob, I can't really tell what it's supposed to be...

It's a custom pokemon of mine, it's not supposed to look like a pokemon that already exsists.:nervous:

Oh, I think I undersand. I made it from scratch, using colours of Charazards Tail sprite. The flame. I probably could have used a base, but where's the fun with that?!:P

I don't think that's what they were asking, either. What is it supposed to BE? i.e. is the first one based on an egg beater, or is it holding loops of fire? And what is the thing in the middle of the wheel of fire in the third image based off of; what are its physical characteristics, that is, where is its face, etc. Right now I can't even tell if the first two are supposed to be the same as the last three...

nmorr June 11th, 2010 1:42 PM

Okay, based on my pokedex definition for them, the first one is a guardian pokemon for Moltres. The 2nd set is a Motor, you know for cars?

(EXTRA INFO) I started off drawing a pikachu and failing when I made that pokemon. I scribbled it out, flipped over the page, and I saw the image of Blazmotor, the 2nd pokemon there. I just drew Blaznom, the 1st, as a random evolution.

I hope what I said was right...

Chesu's Pixel art tutorial isnt very specific when it comes to spriting hair so I made a full out new pokemon ow tut. Should help quite a few people with hair for ows.

(Tutorial is in attachments)

wobbuffett June 15th, 2010 1:25 PM

Wow, that was really helpful :) I have now made a sprite for my little Fakemon :)

(I'm attempting to fill a whole dex, only it's really not gonna happen xD)

But I made a shiny too! I would post them but I cba to put them on photobucket etc.

Anyway, the point was, thanks for the tutorial, I am very much obliged.

scientic June 27th, 2010 6:38 AM

Dan5 July 7th, 2010 9:04 AM

FreedomFighter011 July 7th, 2010 7:38 PM

Oh my gosh. I have to say these are the most epic tutorials I've ever seen ever. I can't wait to see more from you!

ShinyManic! July 16th, 2010 4:58 AM

Great Tutorial! Especially for a Noob and totally unartistic like me! :P

Just wondering whether you'd be able to extend the Overworld tutorial for the main character to include the FLY/biking sprites?

Morgnarok July 16th, 2010 5:37 AM

Nice tut.Hope there is more to come.

richmix August 5th, 2010 6:14 PM
