I really don't want this thread filled up with random conversations... If you want my opinion, could you just PM or VM me? Since I'm posting anyway though, it's good! It looks like a sheep with a ton of wool or something. A few things, though; the outline is kind of jaggy on the wooly parts, one of the legs doesn't look like the other two, and if those things above the head are horns, they look like they're coming from behind the head.

Well, Pokémon ow's aren't that much different to normal ow's. Nor would they be any more difficult. I think someone could make a Pokémon ow using your method from the people ow's. I'd say trainer backsprites, because it'll be fun to see how your fine self figures how to do them. Also, I need to work on backsprites more, so gogogo.

Very useful, clean and easy to learn

Chesu October 27th, 2009 5:51 AM

Hrm... Would anyone be interested in a tutorial on FR/LG-style establishing shots? An establishing shot is something used in film to introduce the audience to the setting of a scene, before focusing on the characters.

Even though it looks like a big, complicated image, it's actually pretty simply-drawn, and uses the same number of colors as Pokemon and trainer sprites. So, would anyone here be interested in a tutorial on the subject, or is it too obscure?

well id love to be able to make them it would make hacks/games even more unique and i'd think people would appreciate it :) (might have typos)

I'd love a tutorial about it too. :3

Ok Chesu, so... i've always been wretched with back sprites... and after three hours of farting around with this, i have something presentable... by no means am i saying that this is ready to go into a game, but it's a start!

So, as you know, i LUV my fakemon Milodos. My alltime favorite!
http://i.imagehost.org/0468/milodos_kenji_tips.png

using your method of flipping the sprite and enlarging it, i then redid the outline, entirely whited out the portions, and reshaded the sprite... i started with the neck portion, then did the tail portion second...
http://i.imagehost.org/t/0980/milodos_backsprite_compositioin.jpg

So then i just layered the tail onto the neck portion, and voila! (It's coiled up near it's base, so that is why the tail is so close to the neck...
http://i.imagehost.org/0889/milodos_backsprite.png

Now, i know that the shading is still VERY CHOPPY and boxcut. There are also alot of jagged points, but still, how would you rate this?

Thanks!

Lookin' good! The outline does look really bumpy, especially on the neck, but that's not a sticking point as the sprite isn't finished yet. There is, however, one problem with the design itself. Where the tail originates at the bottom of the sprite is way too close to the visible potion of the body... The body is too thick to twist enough to pull off that pose, so it seems like the sprite below what's visible is being squished. You should move the base of the tail as far to the left as you can.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to get much of a response... and especially not such a positive one! Alright then, I'll get to that when I have the time.

I like it, I think it would be neat to learn how do create scenes like that.

0m3GA ARS3NAL October 28th, 2009 5:16 PM

It would be nice to see a quality guide on establishment shots. It would add a sense of professionalism to pokemon hacks around the net.

Go on ahead, you have my support.

Chesu October 28th, 2009 6:03 PM

I think I'll cover three locations in the tutorial... A building viewed from the base, an interior shot of a forest, and an exterior shot of a cave.

edit: I've started work on the first part, the building. Everything in the image below is from scratch, and I'll go into detail on how to draw it all in the tutorial.

http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/6517/temps.png

Here's to hoping the building turns out as good as the background!

Wow, the circle meathod works wonders!
Look at the masterpiece I produced with it!
(In the attatchment)

Chesu November 6th, 2009 6:44 AM

The shading is laid on a little thick around the bottom of the sprite's body, and it looks like it has a foot coming out of its neck, but that aside it's good. It's not often you see a green armadillo! One thing, though... You should try making the eyes a bit rounder.

this is awesome! Helps alot!

Finally finished with my sprite!
This tutorial is great!

Umm... This may seem off-topic but
can you or someone help me with creating
the back sprite of the sprites I did?

I'll really appreciate the help..
Oh and my sprites are for Fire Red.

The sprites are attached to this post.

Chesu December 6th, 2009 1:58 AM

Try making the back sprite on your own; if you reach an impasse or want an opinion, just post in the showcase/discussion thread.

GFA December 6th, 2009 9:58 AM

My hat is off to you Mr. Chesu, your Pixel Over Tutorial has blown me away. If we could still give you positive rep, I would

Emotion. December 6th, 2009 11:11 AM

This is a good tutorial, it's made me want to try some from scratch, so far I've only done fusions.

You deserve these, Chesu. Great tuts!

Sorry for eye-sore green and yellow. Will change.

Roxas90 December 10th, 2009 3:11 PM

Wow, these tutorials are awesome. I've always admired some of the good custom sprites in ROM hacks, and now I can try my hand at making my own!

Oh, and...YOUNG MAD SCIENTIST DEXTER wants to battle!
