Sounds like someone needs to discover sarcasm...

My very first picture in Photoshop (which I got yesterday) Inked and SA shaded the official Japanese Sonic The Movie artwork, despite the fact I only had the head left to ink before I actually realised how to ink properly I think it came out pretty well. As a trial run on how to get to grips with Photoshop it certainly payed off. C+C please.

I'll take his place if he doesn't want it anymore.

No idea who teh hell j00 are but happeh b-day!

Yay, now I can erase Wingraphic from my PC! DEMO hopefully next week...

Thanks, I have a day off school friday so I'll get the Sonic and Tails artwork done then.

Is that seriously it? Damn thats so obvious, thats alot. A mod can lock this now.

I've litterally just got Photoshop (about 6 hours ago) and I've been practising lineart with the pen tool but it comes out too thin. Can someone point me out to some basic tutorials?

Um, does this damned rep system actually work, it only seems to work for de-repping someone not trying to increase their rep. Take alook around the boards, not one person has more than 1 rep point.

K, LarkSS I have a Photoshop question for you, how can I get different thickness line art? Do I have to make two lines with the pen and then colour inbetween or is there an easier way? (Thats probably the most poorly worded question ever)

I just got sent about 50,000 photos of Metal Harbour from some guy on the MFZ, I'll edit the first post with some more object references when I get a chance. Guys, I still need a name for this game now someone has stolen Sonic Freedom I can't use it, I need something unique that isn't Sonic [insert two random letters here]

Ok, will do, thanks alot. I've pretty much got the hang of it already though.

Guess who just got Photoshop!? (me) I ordered a full version disk off Ebay (not paying £50,000 for an image editing program), but I've downloaded a trial from the Adobe site. So decent artwork is on it's way! (I have all the tutorials I need so please don't reccomend any)

Thats quite funny actually, download the free trial, after 30days it'll say "saving has been disabled" but it doesn't actually disable the saving. lol programming flaws. It can't be illegal either, I mean if they forgot to stop you from saving it's their problem.

lol PSP Thats gotta be the worst advert ever, look at the Super Princess Peach advert then compare it to this. Nintendo just PWNS Sony.

I use WinGraphic, its ok but not exactly awesome. You can make transparants and stuff but 90% of the time it'll ruin it (if it's transparant). You should ask Someone2040 what he uses, his animations are perfect.

I don't have dial-up XP, I've had BroadBand for over a year now. I plan on getting PS some time this month. I've seen the disk fairly cheap on Ebay.

Tested it in game, works fine. I made the effect in Serif Photoplus (I NEED PHOTOSHOP!!!) by editing the Sonic Battle flame thing, making it purple and blue then making transparant before putting over the Skill sprites. The last thing I actually did to the sheet was adding the purple background so the flame looks fine in-game. As for the skill sprites everyone will become their base colour with the darkest colour being the outline. As for the flame, it will depend on which colour the character is, eg: Fang's will be purple, Knuckles' would be red ect. Don't worry about adding in the flame, I'll do it for you.

K, DittronX- Outstanding, thanks very much. *Goes to edit first post* The reason I didn't want anybody spriting battle sprites yet is because I wanted to present an example of what I want- It works fine but I need to change the idle to the S Battle one and allign the low HP sprites. K, so if you all use that as an example of what I'm looking for then that'll be great. (Example not edit base, unless you really want to) Don't worry about the casting energy field, I'll add that in for you. (unless you feel that you can do it properly). As for the defence pose, PLZ NO SONIC BATTLE SHEILDS, it looks horrible in my opinion, hence the reason I've used a spin dash, it looks better. Also please use the 8 frames to their full potential, the whole idea is that you can fit a decent battle sequence in 8 frames. Not a repeated version of frames 2 and 3 ect. Interesting poses sil vous plait, Sonic characters can do better than punches. (unless it's a cool looking comical punch like a Sonic The Fighters one). Infact for awesome attack pose ideas go play STF. One more thing (yay ranting), when spriting "hit" sprites please don't make it look like the character is falling over, it doesn't look right, see my sheet for what I mean. Tapika- See above, thanks for trying though. The sheet does look good but I think it be better. ALSO- Please do your best to allign sprites, it'll save me alot of time although if you really allign for peanuts don't worry, I'll do it.

Why do that when we can just completly destroy his n00b game. 'K we a mundo gripping name and we need it now, any ideas guys? Freedom is SO last week. Also, I'm beggining work on President sprites, it'll be interesting to see where this guy gets his from...I'll add a permission tag so they won't get stolen. Below is a double post that has been automagically merged into the original. YAY DOUBLE POST! I have some new ideas- 1) The Land of darkness isn't so dark anymore and is just a normal habitat. Humans live there freely again and all is peaceful. 2) Metal Harbour, best stage of all time, I need it in my game, hence the signature asking for help! 3) Bosses- I can make a tactical boss fight that takes place on the map, you hit the bosses weak point then have to take down a third, half ect of it's hp in an RPG style fight then you must repeat the procedure, hitting it's weak point on the map each time to clear the boss (sounds confusing?) Below is a double post that has been automagically merged into the original. K, this is very bad. I shouldn't triple post... But anyway, I've been given some shots of Metal Harbour and a few of the sceneray objects are visable so the first post has been edited with these reference shots for anyone who wants to help with the Metal Harbour stage.

That has got to be the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Yup (thank Gawd!) SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE Look at this- [url-http://summerofsonic.com/fangames/]GRRRRRRRRRR[/url] Not only has some stupid pr_ck stole the name of my game, they've also stole the whole Sonic The Movie sequel idea!!!!!!!! KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!

Nah, it's ok, the frames you've sprited already are enough. Thwy'll only be on bill-boards, posters and a cameo in the super-secret stage that I'm not revealing, at all... (I've already ruined every single secret character ) Below is a double post that has been automagically merged into the original. Sorry for the double post but TEMPLATES!!! w00t!!! Template #1 For small normal sized characters. Template #2 For larger characters and bosses. I'll edit the first post right away. POSES MUST BE IN THIS ORDER- #1- Idle #2- Hit #3- Low HP #4- Defend #5- Running Left #6- Running Right #7- Base attack #1 #8- Base attack #2(DIFFERENT TO BASE ONE!!!) #9- Skill Attack (I'll post an example of the sort of thing I want for this) #10- Victory pose #11- Death/ K.Oed I'll get to work on an example sheet as well.

Yeah, I hate the ten character limit as well... Since you're probably going to read this, whats that "Emerald Ties, crossing fates" thing in your signature?

'Kay...
