Delta Hedgehog Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Would anyone happen to have an enlarged, pixel art version of the following image? I have a feeling that the people over at XG had custom made it, but does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazefireLP Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yep, It was made by one of the guys behind SonicXG. (Euan or Nitemare). I seriously doubt it is usable due to the fact it is still being used in RetroSonicNexus anyway. So my guess it is was never for public use. Seen here. I tried searching long ago for a public usable version of this in many MANY websites. I found nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 One second: Sonic XG + Sonic Nexus + Retro Sonic? They all merged? I think that, because of these delays, we're not going to be able to see a full release of it in... years. Or maybe never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Fucknuggets. Well, looks like it's up to me to make a custom version. This will take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 It doesn't seem that hard, just get Sonic CD's logo and some pictures of that website BF showed you in that thread as base to make it. What am I doing? You already know what to do. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yeah. Just by having the big ring it shouldn't be TOO hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazefireLP Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Except one problem. Non of the artwork on SAA is any form of a sprite or pixelart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Retro Sonic NeXG (Retro Sonic Nexus) is sadly canceled. It was announced on Sonic Retro a few weeks ago when Sonic CD iPhone was revealed. For all I know, Euan might happily lend out his assets at this point.

Apricity Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I did sonething similar to it in my game. I'll post a wip shot later so you can see how and what I did. It might help. Going out with my friend now so I'll be back in around 5-6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I am sitting here thinking why oh why isn't the date April01 =/. Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea. I don't visit retro much.

Delta Hedgehog Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 My only problem is that the pixel art will be 100% original, and I am not very good with original shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazefireLP Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Then the answer is simple. Don't do original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well I can't think of any exsisting pixel art similar to the picture of the XG one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 This is what I'm making in my game (eventually the art will be smoothed out and the ring will be custom or part custom). Maybe you could grab some ideas off of it. Obviously without plagiarising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apricity Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yeah I'm not trying to copy that myself. Just saying using the poses from end games and titles like these might help. Another I find make sthings easier. Is draw it out with a tablet or scan it in then pixel over your drawing. Then go back and smooth everytihng out. Works for me.

Delta Hedgehog Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 If someone could make me a base with the Sonic CD ring and some basic circles for the bodies and heads and stuff, then it would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailsSena Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Oooooor just use MMF2 picture editor instead of Photoshop because I don't recall photoshop being "Pixel Art Friendly"... It likes big pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazefireLP Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Photoshop is fantastic for spriting in and pixel artwork. I even make my tiles in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serephim Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 This shouldn't be too hard. If you can find some images that look like they'd work where you want them, just get all the assets you need and find a program with layers. Spend some time cutting and shifting until you get it right. Then it's just a job of making everything fit, which I will admit im pretty terrible at too. Too lazy. I recommend Graphicsgale for anything dealing with sprites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 After studying both the original pixel art and the XG art, I made a 100% original outline with the brush tool in paint. Looks like shit, but then again, it isn't finished. I added the color of the colors using the colors already in the paint tablet. Please ignore the fact that they have no eyes, noses, or mouths, remember, it's just an outline. Edit eyes, noses, and smiles/frowns. Also fixed some shit.

Delta Hedgehog Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Double Post Finished it. I tried to recreate the XG shading to the best of my ability. And it turned out pretty good. Mine: Original: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Two things. I still think that needs touching up in places. And two why are you trying to copy the XG logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
