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.

Cyber Knuckles Posts: 775 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.

	Spoiler: click to toggle BOB PAGE Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator. WALTON SIMONS I take it he was agreeable? BOB PAGE He didn't really have a choice. WALTON SIMONS Has he been infected? BOB PAGE Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned that we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic. WALTON SIMONS This plague -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it. BOB PAGE Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them. WALTON SIMONS I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough vaccine to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate. BOB PAGE Of course they're desperate. They can smell their death, and the sound they'll make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest. WALTON SIMONS Mmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in Paris. BOB PAGE A bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world. But the world left them behind long ago. We are the future. WALTON SIMONS We have other problems. BOB PAGE UNATCO? WALTON SIMONS Formed by executive order after the terrorist strike on the Statue. I have someone in place, though. I'm more concerned about Savage -- he's relocated to Vandenberg. BOB PAGE Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience. And their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider. WALTON SIMONS The augmentation project? BOB PAGE Among other things -- but I must admit that I have been somewhat disappointed in the performance of the primary unit. WALTON SIMONS The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparation and will be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on his progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated. BOB PAGE We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again, a new age. Aquinas spoke of the mythical City on the Hill. Soon that city will be a reality, and we will be crowned its kings. Or better than kings. Gods.
