Ryong Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Behold 90x90 (or something) pixels of doom. Maybe shouldn't have made another topic for such a small and relatively pointless thing but god knows how many hours I wasted for 8 frames of black and white animation. I couldn't color it because I'm on a vacation and I can't find an eraser anywhere to get rid of the pencil outlines. It's very wobbly...Kinda cute. X_x I know you all want me to sprite your fangames now! ...Cough. As you can see it's somewhat simplified version of Sonic. Anyone wanna give him a name? Oh well, I might scrap him and start a proper sonic sprite and include all the useful animation such as jumping and running...But it would be fun if you guys are actually interested in such. Now that you've seen my wobbly style it doesn't seem likely though. In any case, I won't be doing anything really finished for few days as I'm on vacation and thus I don't really have time to sprite. (Maybe some sketches like this one.)

Rael0505 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 If the pictures doesn't show up for some people, quote his post and copy and paste the link in your browser. Anyway, it's a little choppy, but very well done nonetheless. Edit: Screw what I said earlier, looking at it again it's actually very nice.

Ryong Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Choppy indeed. Next time I might be able to cut down the wobble on his head spikes so you people won't get seasick from watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Looking at it I think I kind of like it this way. Gives it a cartoony feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryong Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Which makes me wonder. Has anyone ever used handrawn sprites in their fangames? I can imagine it might not fit into backgrounds as well as those that are edited from official ones but...It would look interesting I guess? Can you imagine a cartoony Sonic with a wobbly lines running through your fangame? Can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 That would be an interesting idea. As long as backgrounds were made to fit, there wouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryong Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hmm..I can see this evolving into something. Anyone got any ideas how to modify existing backgrounds to make them fit with relatively simply colored sprites like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'd thicken the outline of backgrounds a little and make the inside part one solid color, then try to spruce it up a little by reshading it or something. It shouldn't be too hard to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Well, I think RedXVI use to hand-drawn his sprites for Thirdscape; At the very least, it looks a lot like the way he draws in real life. Anyways, yours is very nice. For some reason, it reminds me of the opening of Saturday Night Fever, where John Travolta's walking up the street.

Ryong Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 If it resembles John Travolta, it's gotta be the sexiest walking animation out there...Well, I gotta redo it so I can maybe add some detail. (No back spike! Too bad I didn't add it sooner. :f) Hopefully the remade one is as good as this. I hate it when I sometimes draw something really good but can't seem to do it again. Edit: I can't brain today. When I get back on my vacation I should be able to just add the spike and possibly a small tail with ink and then erase some other inked outlines with my comp (like the right side hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Make an entire spritesheet like this... no color, not overly complex or complete, and sketchy. It's got potential for some kind of niche project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine a cartoony Sonic with a wobbly lines running through your fangame? Can you? Well, im using handdrawn sprites (aka Scratched from Paint/Graphicsgale sprites) for my orginal game.. but the sprites are human, not sonic. Trust me, its hell to do. But it allows you pretty much make your game exactly how you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tentril Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Awesome. My only problem with it is that in one frame his head caves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got potential for some kind of niche project. Sounds kinda fun. Of course I gotta learn a bit static then cause even the most basic movement still gives me trouble. I'll start working on some more animations once I get back from my vacation. (Though I've already drawn possible jumping animation/spindash thingy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
