Topic: I come bearing sprites...

[Ultimate Carl]

Hey everyone!  This'll be my first post here...  I love the entire Classic Rockman series, and I'm mainly interested in fangames and sprites.  So, here's some sprite edits I did!


First up is an 8-Bit Forte sheet.  It isn't done, yet.  I'm mainly working on it in the context of a fangame.  It's adapted from his NeoGeo Power Battles sprites, but mainly with added color.  In addition, I chopped down his number of frames so he's in line with the same number that Rock (and Blues in MM9) have so he's easier to shoehorn into a game or romhack.  I also gave him a "throw" animation (for, say, Metal Blade) along with Top Spin frames.  Eventually I'm also going to give him ladder frames and "holding" animations for when you're holding up a block from Gutsman's power.  Nothing too fancy, and like I said, still WIP.


Second is Top Man done in Power Battles style.  He's one of my favorite RMs, but he never got a 32-bit makeover!  I used a lot of different Power Battles/Fighters RMs as a base.  Most obviously, his torso came from quick, but I also used bits of Plant, Gyro, Shadow, and Dive.  The tops and his head were from scratch, and I hardly ever simply recolored something, even if the edits were subtle.  Since most RMs got extra moves or a different pattern in Power Battles, I gave him running, jumping, and knocked down sprites in addition to everything needed to remake his NES pattern.  Overall I think it turned out well!


Finally, the very beginnings of a Power Battles-style Fire Man.  I'm on a bit of a kick making 32-bit sheets for any RM that doesn't already have one in hopes of spurring someone to start work on a fangame of Power Battles that includes every RM in the series so far...   This one is a bit dangerous.  I actually did this one entirely from scratch, which is scary because I don't normally draw, at all.  I figured I'd try my luck and I think it came out decently...  There's so many practically identical-looking frames because that's supposed to be his idle animation.  The fire flickers.  Okay, so the eyes I got from Magnet Man and the fire I got from Heat Man, but other than that I did it from scratch.


Please, let me know what you think!

I like the Top Man sprites. I also find it hilarious that you're doing 8bit Forte off the NGPC, because I'm doing the same thing.

Saving them as a BMP will not to good, it will automatically convert them, for sprites, PNG file types are good.

Fireman looks akward to me, try to reduce shading a bit, sometimes MMPB&F ignores lightsource. Topman is obviously, a Shadowman edit.

Thanks!

Haha, yeah, well I've seen supposed 8-bit sheets of him before, but they're mostly just direct copies of the NGPC one.  Like I said, I'm trying to edit him to be more colorful, as well as in-line with NES Rock.   Let me know how yours turns out, it'll be interesting to compare!

They are .pngs. O.o;  Did tinypic convert them?

Well...  Like I said, it was my first try...  I'll look at the shading, though, thanks!

Topman is obviously, a Shadowman edit.

Actually, he only uses Shadow's legs and sometimes one of his hands.  In fact, there's no Shadow at all in any of his injured/stand up frames.

Well, no. The only way they are like this as BMPs are converted into Jpeg files, I need an actual screenshot of it's origional file type (Right Click, Properties, Print Screen button, Start, Programs, Accessories, Paint, Right Click, Paste).

These sprites are pretty good.
