My first try ever:
Captain Ramón:
"image removed"

It's clearly visible I used the body of that sailor gymleader, but I think it's not that bad for a first try.
And yes, I never could and would have done this without your tut, thanks!

How's this for a transparentizing tut on GIMP?

Spoiler:

1)

Okay, so I filled in my worksheet in blue, and recolored a Nintetales, which is now pretty. Step 1 is to select around the Nintetales and hit Ctrl+C, or Copy.

2) Open up GIMP, hit Ctrl+V, or Paste, and it should look like this now.

3) Click Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha channel, like in he picture.

4) Now click this little tool button. The Select By Color Tool.

Then click the blue and press Del or delete.

5) It looks a bit like this now.

:/ I don't like that fuzzy outline, so now click Select>None, like in the pic

6)Now click Image>Autocrop to get rid of all that unnecessary transparent space.

7) It should now look like this

:D

8 ) Click File>Save As and name your file and then write .png
If you don't, the quality will get screwed up.

Save it where you want.

9) Now, upload it onto a image hosting site, like Iaza, Photobucket, Tinypic etc.

10) Copy the BBCode URL it gave you and paste it into the text box of the forums.

11) When you hit Preview/Submit, it looks like this

:D Well done, you transparentized a sprite on GIMP :D

Made it in one try.

nice tuts it really helped me out. but i cant seem to make a good face for my scratched trainer. any tips for it.

 

[Dogboarding]

really nice & very interesting post.

 

[Chesu]

Cobalt'Scizor, don't most programs have a one-click "replace selected color with transparent opacity" tool?

qaz, I don't really have any advice... Just experiment, and make sure that the facial features are properly oriented with the head.

WoW nice tutorials so well organised it is realy a great help.
I mean, I'm still a rookie spriter but I managed to create the trainer in my avatar myself.

Oh and I wantet to ask for the Overworld objekts since thats something I realy need help with. ^^

 

[Tiggerwoodz]

I'm tryna up my spriting skills from just combining sprites or changing colors. I tried scratching a pokemon and this is what i got. Just want opinions so far so i know what to work on

 

[FoggyDoggy]

Spriting and pixel art in Pokemon Games is extra easy now that the Nameless Sprite Editor came out... though it would be nice to get some pointers on making 'Level Transition Images' Those special images in FR/LG that you see giving a hint on the next area you're going into, like when you enter Pokemon Tower, or Viridian Forest...

I can make pixel art showing a landscape, I'm just not good at nintendo style...

 

[Chesu]

What you're talking about is known in the film industry as an "establishing shot". Think of how on tv they'll show a brief shot of the outside of a building to establish where the setting is, before cutting to the characters. That's actually one of the tutorials I'm "working on right now". It's about half done, and has been for nearly year, but my time's been occupied by other things. I really need to get these things finished...

 

[Tiggerwoodz]

i re-did my first one, i hope this one is better.

 

[gizmo00999]

I love your tutorials, because I have the problem that I can never scratch something large, but with your tutorials I can easily makes large bases, and sprite the smaller thing myself.

 

[lugiaxwolf]

wow this so cool thanks!!! 8D
I've already scratched a couple sprites and I would show you them only if I could get there urls (stupid webs won't let me log in to upload anything)

 

[Chesu]

You can actually upload them right to this thread, or use an image hosting service like Imageshack or TinyPic, neither of which require a login.

 

[spaceemotion]

very nice tutorial ^^
Really simple explained.

 

[gizmo00999]

Mhm, don't worry, I'm not rushing you, just wanna know- about how long until the next tut comes? =3

 

[DarkShadow21]
