Not sure, maybe someone else can give a second opinion, because we definitely need a few more original sprites here instead of recolors all the time.

Pretty much.But I hate it when people judge all the sprites people make as noobish recolors. I try to make my sprites as original I as I can you know.>_> Nice tutorial though.
	Meh.

Well, if I can be bothered. >_<''

Cyber Knuckles Posts: 773 Group: E-Rank Hero Member #676 Joined: March 9, 2007	Well, as I said in the tutorial, once you reach step three you can either choice not to shade or do so. They can shade however they want. I don't like cartoons being super defined so I did a basic shade.

It's a good tutorial, my only objection is the lack of detail on how to make an outline of your character, to avoid scrunching, to shade and highlight. It's a good sketch of how to make a custom-sprite, but someone who wasn't already very well-versed in spriting (i.e. already knew how to draw them, and color them) would still be rather lost after reading it. I'm looking for something a little more comprehensive and detailed for a pin.

What are you doing? Snake: I'm in a box. Sigint: A cardboard box? Why are you...? Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box. Sigint: Destiny...? Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness. Sigint: ... Snake: Does any of that make sense? Sigint: Not even a little. Snake: You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean. Sigint: Man, I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange!? Snake: ...
