So, after getting back into spriting and not getting much crit at Sprites INC I thought I'd post my latest creation here to see if I can get some more crit(not posting my old ones unless I decide to go back and work on them).

His name is Rhapsody, he plays like a mixture of Albus from CV: OoE and Axl. He'll gain a new main weapon and secondary weapon whenever he beats a boss. this is 100% scratch. No editing involved which is a surprise to me since that's what I almost always did. So, C+C please?

He's pretty colorful. Maybe too colorful.

You should narrow it down to one distinct color scheme.

Jace · **Reply #2 on:** May 17, 2009, 11:25:42 PM

Any suggestions on narrowing it down? I'm thinking the blue could probably be replaced but then he'd look alot like a Blues X.

Gaia · **Reply #3 on:** May 17, 2009, 11:30:44 PM

I'd say shave the green, and go with an unused color scheme for this character in the style.. say, Maghony Red? Because from this standpoint he looks like a mixture of X and Axl, if it was intended to be like that.

Make several different color schemes and put them all on one sheet. That way you can compare them better and decide for which you want to go.

Jace · **Reply #5 on:** May 18, 2009, 02:37:16 AM

Well, I took your suggestion and made several(I think I went overboard) alt. color schemes. I think I'll use a few of them, albeit altered a bit, as some of his Weapon Gain color(s). Still, I'd like your opinion on what do you think his standard color scheme should be? Personally I like the top most Black one.

Edit- And Gaia, no it wasn't intended. I might actually add in some other Red Visor colors to the pickings. Let me take a look at how they might look.

Gaia · **Reply #6 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:05:49 AM

They look decent, but here's the lowdown on how I think they will work..

- Purple visor's a good start, so I'd say we keep that

- Keep the brown (second to last color option), since I don't think many characters use that color (Unless I'm wrong)

- Then try to add another color from these choices if they look good with the brown

could you start using an image host, please? the attachments are getting old. try photobucket?

Jace · **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:30:48 AM

Ok, I'll do that Gaia, but one question, what brown? I didn't use any brown in any of those colors other than the background so I'm confused on which one you mean. I'll keep trying tho.

And I'll do that Sky, but not photobucket, I'll use Imageshack cause I can't stand Photobucket for some reason.

Gaia · **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:39:00 AM

The brown for the primary color of the body, soon after, you can experiment with the secondary color, as well as the visor, and yes, I use tinypic for sprite uploading.

Jace · **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:11:53 AM

Allright, how about these new ones(in the blue area)?

Looking at it I think either one of the top Green ones or the bottom white ones are the best, but again other opinions are good.

Sapphire✧9 · **Reply #11 on:** May 19, 2009, 07:52:33 PM

Jace ? Came here ? Wow, now its getting fun. Sprites-INC isnt hot anymore. Have fun there. Good sprites.

But you should remake the shades 'cause they dont really fit the X-X3 style.

Jace · **Reply #12 on:** May 19, 2009, 07:59:45 PM

They should since I took them straight from the original sprites.

And yea, it's fun there it's just that there is no real progression there anymore when it comes to spriting. No one really gives C+C anymore and when they do it's few and far between. I don't know how many times I've updated and it got ignored.

Edit-Or do you mean how I shaded them?

I know what you mean, It´s long ago since I got a C+C there.....The site isn´t the same since they removed the C+C and Party topic

Gaia · **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:21:51 PM

Yeah, either that or sites like TSR, Inc, and MFZ are getting too good in thier respective styles.

And let's see the reference sprite used for the shades, it could be more help to crit on the shades.

Sapphire✧9 · **Reply #15 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:32:59 PM

Yep, I said for the shading of the sprite.

It's really active here, you will get used to there really fast.

Jace · **Reply #16 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:47:35 PM

Now that I think of it tho, I might've accidently reverted to the MMZ/ZX style shading since that's what I almost always did.

Here's X tho just in case. I'm pretty sure you're right now that I look at it.

Sapphire✧9 · **Reply #17 on:** May 19, 2009, 10:38:02 PM

Thats better. But it still looks off.

Jace · **Reply #18 on:** May 19, 2009, 10:48:24 PM

How is that better? I haven't technically done anything yet. I just added X there for reference like Gaia asked.

Sapphire✧9 · **Reply #19 on:** May 19, 2009, 10:56:29 PM

Now that I look at it again, it is same. Sorry, its probably my eyes. It happens when I'm tired

Jace · **Reply #20 on:** May 20, 2009, 12:42:00 AM

Allright, I decided on my color scheme and I think I fixed my shading issue.

Gaia · **Reply #21 on:** May 20, 2009, 12:44:35 AM

Orange x Brown? Good choice, and the pallete's 11 colors, not that many shades, it looks better now, head shape still bugs me though, must be the position of the eye.

Jace · **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2009, 10:04:24 PM

I personally like the head shape. But anyway, after looking at that version for awhile I just couldn't get into it. I much prefered my previous Red, Blue and Green version. I think I fixed it tho so it works. And I'm not changing it now. Anyway, I also started work on his armor, It's a speed based one. I'll update the image itself with a detailed description of what each part does later. And if you're blind, the armor is a homage to one of the best characters ever created.

That and I've started work on an EXE Battle Chip image of my navi Ectoman. I know the background sucks right now but I'll fix it. I think the Edit there came out good tho. Comments?

Sapphire✧9 · **Reply #23 on:** June 03, 2009, 11:38:29 PM

Wow, armor looks really good. Chip image hurts my eyes though.

Jace · **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2009, 02:07:09 AM

I should probably lower the Greens contrast huh

I'll get right on that. I've got a few other stuff in progress I"m working on now too. I'll post it shortly.
