Slingerland Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I don't like the island in your sig for a very good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Honestly, I'd stick with the Sonic 3 based sprite for the sole reason that it has like three times as many animations which can be used for gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Slingerland: It's the spires behind the island, isn't it? Those came from my Summer Forest Act 3 background, but I'll alter it if you want me to. Rael: That's true, but that's the beauty of having a Sonic 2-Sonic 3 hybrid sprite. If I need to use an animation from Sonic 3, I can easily alter the sprite to look more like Sonic 2, and vice-versa. Score is currently New: 2, Old: 2.

Spike Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Might the S3 gloves have anything to do with that? The gloves, the muzzle, and his chest looks puffed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cstyler Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 My choice is the old sprite. I've always loved S3 style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sslaxx Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Count me as for the new sprite. I think the stare and pose are superior to the old version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amesuki Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I like the look of the new sprite more. Should use the new sprite, the shading and pose I think is far better. Gives it a more CDish look. -Amesuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowMasterX5 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well I say the old sprite is better, so count 1 in for the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenor Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think the old sprite is currently better than the new sprite. I'm not very sure of my opinion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 His left hand looks really out of place, maybe you should tuck it in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 ZFG: Thank you for helping out; that sprite looks nice. I took a few of your ideas into consideration. The only thing I didn't like was the huge amount of shine. The details were very cool, but I'm afraid that might take me even longer to edit all of those details in. Also, people who don't like the S3 sprite don't tend to like the plastic look that Sonic was given. Maybe I could use those for a future 32X project, but unless you'd be interested in helping me to sprite all 100+ Sonic frames in that style, I don't think I'll use it here. However, I did like some of those changes, and I kept those. Ojdon: Fixed. Thanks for your opinion. Here's the current new sprite. I'm going to keep the gloves the way they are, as I felt the original S1/2/CD gloves looked too small, and if you look at the artwork for Sonic CD, you'll notice that his hands are a little bigger than his chest, so the new style is more accurate to his Sonic CD artwork. Score is currently New: 4, Old: 5. By the way, if you recently voted and want to change your opinion (i.e. you think the new sprite has improved or you finally decide Sonic 3's sprite will fit the game better), you can do so until the 15th vote has been counted. Only 6 more votes to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Dude. If you want a CD style so much, use the CD sprite. This one is just the CD sprite wonked out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Dude. If you want a CD style so much, use the CD sprite. This one is just the CD sprite wonked out a bit. CD artwork style, as in it has a mouth, the gloves are to proportion with the drawings, and it uses the same blue colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Emerald Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 All right then, ZFG, you win -- as long as you're willing to share a Sonic CD spritesheet with me and help me to complete all the sprites in that style, then this style will work. It'll take too long with just me alone, and that's time I could be spending during this spring break working with Worlds. But first, the new style has to win the poll. Still 6 votes left, and the score stands at Old: 5, New: 4. In the meantime, I'll update the new style on the poll to ZFG's sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
