  1. More like he shall demon him away. =o hbtent
  2. maybe they'll put Clock Ork Zone in Sonic 1 GBA! Hm, that would screw things up a bit.
  3. Sprite Art is awesome. It needs an update badly though! I'm glad I could find more of st0ven's stuff at PixelJoint
  4. Haha, and here I thought fungi were asexual. Okay...I'm a little picky when it comes to sprites. It's not uncommon to start off a little slow...Zal's posted a great link there, there's a lot of awesome stuff by people in galleries and such. If anything, I think you should learn basic techniques first: http://www.spriteart.com/index.html http://petesqbsite.com/sections/tutorials/tuts/tsugumo/ http://www.derekyu.com/extras/pixel01.html There's some tutorials to get you started. Starting off by editing other work is good. You'll get to observe how others do their sprites and all that good stuff. I'll offer you basic advice: 1. Don't save as JPG. JPG compresses the image by 8x8 pixel areas, and a lot of the crispness and image quality of spriting and pixelart is lost. I see you have some JPGs and others PNGs...PNGs are good. Also, BMPs seem good, but they're huge, so don't use them either. 2. When you make outlines, make clean lines. Sometimes you have "stairstepping" or jagged pixels that touch each other. You can see the difference by making a line in MS Paint versus drawing with the pencil or brush tool. The kind of line that you want is the kind of line a line tool creates. I can't explain this better, really... 3. Unless you're making a large pixel piece, stick to 16 colors (one is reserved for transparency, so that's 15 colors on the actual sprite). It's the traditional amount of colors in a sprite, and well, using more colors is kinda unnecessary because you won't see them all. I guess that's all I can tell you for now. You do have a lot of potential, so you should stick with it. Good luck !
  5. ^ Yes, CD's level design was weird. Wacky Workbench and Metallic Madness ftl. S3&K is also my favorite...Sonic 2 and Sonic 1 are both still awesome though.
  6. Wtf. Those posters look snazzy. And that board's quite sexy.
  7. SEGA Smash Pack for the GBA had Sonic Spinball, Golden Axe, and Ecco the Dolphin. No Sonic the Hedgehog... its ok tho :>
  8. Lotta fun stuff here. Happy birthday Sonikku
  9. Me: That thar is a sexy thang! Fingerprints already? GD: "From the moment I touched it; I call them my marks of pwnership"
  10. Like I said on MSN, it's f'in sweet. Seriously. I love that tree to death. )_); I noticed a few things you may want to take into account: - The largest rock looks like it's pasted onto the grass. Like you did for the other rocks, you should place a few tufts of grass over the rock. - There's an absence of shadowing. It's like...the tree has all these magnificent shades of green...and the grass has like three. Actually four. It's strange though - while I notice this lack of shading, it doesn't look bad at all. - Going to what Dami said, some colors indeed need more contrast. I didn't notice the darkest shade of grass near where the rocks start until I zoomed in to see. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the shades of green on the grass are completely separate from the shades of green on the tree. It's best to reuse colors when dealing with pixelart, especially when the shades are so close. So ironic that I should be critiquing this piece because I love it that much. Great work.
  11. Well, Rael has no competition since he's away. )_) HB man!
  12. And he's still fifteen in America. Woooo. Happy birthday dude!
  13. Rael's so sexy. Apparently, a few sources are contradicting each other on the Wii's release date. Some claim that it'll be shipped in September, while another says that Iwata will announce the price and date of the Wii in September. In any case...just imagine Brawl with online =o I still want to see Sonic in this game. :>
  14. Happy birthday ila! It seems your birthday is rather widely discussed. Even my GameFAQs account says so.
  15. Zonic, you must satisfy the lustful cravings of the...lusty...community...that is lusting after your...lust-inducing fangame. No seriously! And Fang is indeed awesome. Benniantor...your title screen is pretty bland and big. That's all I can say.
  16. happy birthday, Travis :>
  17. Haha, truthfully this was a while ago. But, eh, sexy nonetheless. I'm going to love playing with my Wii, all day and all night long. ...

  19. Azu, that looks pretty sweet. Nitemare, that looks incredibly sexable.
  20. Insane. I still think that the bizarre baby is stranger though.
  21. Oh snaps, underage drinker! Best viewed at 1 in the morning with no lights on. I don't have a proper, recent picture of me...My hair's much longer now.
  22. Like oh my jee, awesome. =D
