woW! amazing sprites you've got there! Did you scratch build them? If I were putting them in the game I would make them a choice of maincharacters for a hipee styled PKMN Adventure LOL!
Good work
SG

The thread is up! Sweet!

My Sprites are here...

 

[ChubraidermonCharlie]

Those are fantastic sprites for Acanthite, They are very well done. The shading is good, the overall sprite is good also. So, it gives me a 9.1ish/10.

 

[Fangking Omega]

Awesome work guys, but that goes without saying.

Acanthite seems to be taking over?! XD

I wish.

Anyways, I figure I'd best inform you of what's coming next... could be a bit of a challenge! :P

Manea did the Ninja male and Ninja female for the Koku Clan of Bambotta City.

The Shuyo clan are Samurai.

These guys are an important plot event, and we require both a male and female samurai...

Both clans also require some sort of leader.

The idea here is that the normal Samurai are somewhat... faceless.

For the female perhaps - sorry the pic is so small, it's the best i could find :|

But this guy'd be cool as the leader

ooh, i didn't see the ninjas at the forum board. they're kick-butt... nice work on them manea. heh, thank god you didn't give the second hippie dude colorful pants, ray. looks good.

 

[psyduck101]

awsome sprites! love the hippies!

 

[Chizzy]

Hmm... I may attempt the Leader of the samurai's. Looks kinda simpler than the normal Samurai.

 

[doesn't matter]

Well, I'm kinda in the process of doing that (I'm doing the pose at the moment), but if you wanna race to it's completion, go ahead ;)

 

[Chizzy]

Nah... if your Offering its less work for Me!

 

[doesn't matter]

Well, here's the Figure Skater for a sidequest.

Thanks for your comments.

 

[♥RanaRocket!☆]

man, the hippies are hip! wonderful use of colours!
the figure skater has a beautiful pose! i cant wait until i can see the whole game together, its gunna be awesome!

 

[Infinipede]

Nice.
My main pet peeve is that most of the heads look sort of misplaced. Other than that, the male Ninja's sword looks more like a lightsaber (not pointy enough), and the female Ninja's daggers are just kinda weird looking.
Trainer sprites are hard, though.

 

[doesn't matter]

Thanks Mazil and Rashoumon :D

@ Rasshoumon: The head's of which sprites are misplaced? That'll be helpful :) (and yeah, you're right, they are kinda difficult - it's the pose that gets me most of the time)

 

[Infinipede]

The female Bug Catcher's hat makes her head look a bit misplaced, the TR Admin's head is angled a bit too much to the left, the Scientist appears to have no neck, and the female Young Trainer's head has too much neck, I think. It just looks too big.

 

[doesn't matter]

kk well thanks for your help, I'm sure Maneachicken will get right to it.

you kidding me? your poses seem flawless. i'd love to be able to make such descriptive trainer sprites, rather my stupid, boring "stick-figure stance" avatar of a trainer sprite heh. what you working on next?

 

[doesn't matter]

Well I ain't really sure. I'm trying to do a female punk, but I can't be bothered at the moment. And I should be doing some Samarais, but once again, it's the poses that annoy me (and the samarais have heaps of clothing).

As for Maneachicken I don't know what he's doing at the moment.

And poses are annoying cause when I splice them and mix them up (I couldn't do scratch parts even if my life depended on it), it's hard to get the pose I have in mind or from a picture.

But thanks for the comment (and BTW, your avatar sprite has a mad design).

The female Bug Catcher's hat makes her head look a bit misplaced, the TR Admin's head is angled a bit too much to the left, the Scientist appears to have no neck, and the female Young Trainer's head has too much neck, I think. It just looks too big.

Female Bug Catcher: Hmm... Yeah. I Tried for an action pose, and Im in the Process of Editing the hat on that particular Sprite.

TR Admin: Meh. Looks Fine to Me?

Scientist: They are meant to Be cringy, Humpback, evil, odd scientists. They had to have something wrong about them.

Female Young Trainer: There is a Black Pixel I Obviously Forgot to Remove. When It comes to My review of the sprites, I'll change what I have said. Including the shortening of the neck.


and What am I working on at the moment??

I've just completed the Hiker AND Mafia Trainers.

 

[doesn't matter]

Mafia trainers aye? So why don't you post them then?
