Welcome to TT Snim's sprite shop! I will be posting sprites for the general community to use as they please for commercial and non commercial games, and I will also have slots for commissions. Commission prices, while non-negotiable, will always be low. Post one: here Post two: News and events post three: Commission prices and listings post four: Commission slots and status post five: Contests post six: Sprites/eyes/mouths post seven: Hair post eight: Cloths post nine: Weapons/armour post ten: Items post eleven: Tile sets out side post twelve :Tile sets inside post thirteen: Animals post fourteen: Monsters post fifteen: Monthly Collectables (Some may be for commission prices)

All of this is very much more complicated than windows. Are there different Wine versions? I had no idea. I'm having a total noob moment as well as I can't find the tutorial. DX

WOW! How? Tell me your terrible secret power, for I TOO use the blessed OS Ubuntu! *OOGLES*

I forgot I posted this question. I see. Well, I'll just have to be happy to do GFX for you guys for now then. I have uploaded more in Resources and I have more on the way. Will be adding more hair and cloths soon. Thanks Much.

Better than the tiles? And here I thought it was the other way around! XD Thanks Ddunit - Aizawa. Thank you, Kinjiru.

I heard a rumour that some one got Eclipse to work under Linux using Wine. I want to know if A: that's true and B: if some one could help me do that. Would make my world a much more happy place.

Two sets of uni-sex hair now in.

Post more on Eclipse. DX

Oh wow…. I fell off the face of the earth again! Meh.. I'll have these updated again soon. *Shakes head* One of these days I'll nail my feet to the floor here.

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW! *Stressed face* But I'm glad you are good!

AH! That IS cool! ^_^

Heh, Maybe I'll just do some Emoobs. Those I can convert to Iso. DX How would making the AVI turn to flash help? *Confused* Does that make it go more places?

Fantastic! *Applauds* It's long and has SOUND! Very good, very good! XD More or… GTFO! I'm still struggling to make a descent Iso version of my armored sprites. So it's going to be a while before I can do any thing. DX

I'd thought of doing youtube with animpixles, but the image might distort. What sort of series did you have in mind? Can you toss out some plot ideas?

I'd thought of that. The scripting must be done differently, but it would be a lot faster to do the animation than the comic. I'd thought of doing my Cyber Police in Animpixels too, But I want to do that as a comic to make sure I get all my art practice in. XD

I just thought it was to partly obscure your self from view so the stalkers couldn't find you.

I'm sorry Kusty, Flash is to me what Wolfinstine (The remake, not the original) to Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, I just couldn't be half assed to put my rant in to limerick form. Flash was good in theory but fell short of all the magic and charm it promised us in the mass media sphere. I realize it was made to cut down on the production time and cost, but with the cheap people in the animation world being what they are they took Cheap to a whole new level. (This does not reflect my view on the writing, mind you, FOP and Chowder are hilarious, and some how they skim that hard to achieve realm of magic and charm, even if the animation sits some where between comic book still frame and game sprite.) Also every time I try to present Animpixels to any community some one hits me with the 'flash card' as if I'm supposed to see that it's a superior program and repent for my pixelated ways. (Not that you did, but it's happened enough to build up some real resentment) It was late and You must have triggered my "Anti flash" button which is Large and shiny and not hard to miss. That and I'd actually seen to much Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw for one evening. The rant wasn't directed at you or your community, just at flash. (And as you may have surmised by now I realy do hate that program on some deeply satisfying level) Although I will say, ironically, Flash Games are some of the better games out there for todays casual gamers. Bubble Tanks will keep me entertained for at least an hour, and any flash MMO is it at least worth a look to me. Any way, MOVING ON, I did some research in to Animpixels last night some where between 2:30 and 3:00 and discovered you can have quite large sprites. This thrilled me, because I can cram some actual detail in to an animation. (Still cant change the screen size though. Put your squints on!) So as Anna suggested I may sit my self down for a couple of days and try to make an animation with my "Space marines". Only I will have to resprite my space marines or the whole screen will be filled with shiny pixelated armor and not much else. That's not a problem, just time consuming. I could probably knock one out in a couple of hours. That's counting the time it takes me to Thumb my data back and fourth from the lap top to the computer. So my next question is… What sort of cartoons would this community like to see? Drama, comedy, maybe even a little action? I literally have a blank slate and would love some feed back to help me pick a direction to take this. What I DO have so far is, and this may change depending on what you say, a bunch of different colored factions all living in the same HUGE under ground bunker all fighting with each other. And now that I've seen that in writing it sounds a whole lot less awesome than it did at 3:30 in the morning last night. >_<

The good thing about this program for me is not only have I used it before, but I've become FAR better at sprite animation sense I used it last. Pixel is no longer a grand frustrating mystery to me. I may be able to crank out some starting art in just a couple of days to make an animation. The down side, I'm working with my ghetto computer system. But if I just take the Ax to the grind stone and remember the program will COPY AND PAST then I should be fine. WARNING RANT AHEAD! I will address the issue of me using Flash to animate right now: I can't afford it, I can't draw in it, and I don't have a computer that will run it. Asking me to use flash to animate is like asking a poor cave-less cave man who has lost his arms in a freak alligator vs. smiladon accident to do a painting of a rainbow colored mammoth on his own stalagmites. As shocking as this may seem this analogy works for about 90% of the art community. Why? Because we are not _animators_. It's easy to draw three or four frames of animation and use a point and click system to move a person from point A to point B in a measured and predictable way to show a figure walking. It's cheaper too, and I don't just mean monetarily, but in time as well. _(Being a gaming community that tries to MAKE games you should understand this concept clearly, but that wont make me end this rant.)_ To put this in to perspective a Disney movie and an FPS game can take roughly the same amount of time to make. But while you have to sit through an hour and a half of mindless drivel alternating between increasingly sexual innuendo and childish sight gags with absolutely NO interactivity other than hitting the play button, you can sit for upwards of, oh, lets say ten hours of mindless drivel alternating between overtly sexual innuendo and childish sight gags with the ability to interact by way of choosing what enemy you want to button mash murder first. Flash, like the afore mentioned Disney, is a flashy, sparkly, time consuming endeavor that has low yield reward that is linear and can only be used once. Sprite animation can be used over an over again in all sorts of interesting ways, despite it's complete lack of sparkle thus cutting down on time to make and bumping up the time to entertain. And another thing: Flash, for all of it's cheap charm and sparkly wit has so irrevocably broken the back of American animation that I may have to take my eyes out and dip them in sulphuric acid if I have to see one more FRAME of Total Drama Island.

The only problem is is the fact that the sprites here are very small. I'm not sure how small they are compared to my new stuff, but I think I could re do the sprites. ^_^ All I have to do is get it from the internet to my desk top, and as some of you know that involves drawing pentagrams in goats' blood and praying to my toaster, but once I do it shoul;d be short order to make some thing cute. And props Anna. (Maybe) XD

I want to tell stories, that's what I do, I'm very creative. If i can't make a game then can I at least put my pixel talent to good use and animate some thing? I doubt there is a way to animate a movie with Eclipse, BUT there IS a program that may be able to help me do just what I'm thinking of doing! Animpixel! http://www.animpixels.com/ This tile based animation program allows you to create your own sprites, objects, flat images, and of course tiles. You can use a simple path way to direct where you want your sprites to go, animate your objects, and even add different scenes to your animation. You can save as an AVI or GIF, and you can add word bubbles for dialogue. It's draw backs are that it's very small and the repository does not have a lot of resources. It does come with a lot of potential and open ended possibilities. At least I KNOW THIS will work on my windows computer with out needing an internet connection! XD

*Straggles in days latter* Yes it is good to be alive, No McNugges WERE chickens, and H1N1 IS the swine flu. I'm happy to report the only thing that's still bothering me is part of my vocal range is still gone and most water I drink tastes like feet. Copper covered feet. I can not tell you how gross that is. I'll try to be around more, but I have NO JOBS at all now, and may have to scrounge the internet for commissions and such. But I WILL still toss out pixel art when I can. Speaking of pixel art…. http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,53278.0.html

Because I'm special the doctors were all like… "You could have DIED!" And I was all.... "Pffft... You always say that. Scare me some other way."

OK, I'm back AGAIN…. This time I had swine flu. Good news, I'm alive, bad news, the cough won't go away! BUT if you guys want to know for me it was like getting any other flu. and if you are going to ask "Why didn't you get the shot?" My answer... I was sick with the flu BEFORE the shot or spray came on to the 'market'. And by before I mean three or four days. I was sick on the couch watching TV when the news person was all "ANd NOW we have the shot ready!" I was all ". . . *Cough hack*. . . Good bloody timing guys." :embarrassed: And so now that I have returned AGAIN I hope to continue working on the sprites for 3.0, some how get a game made despite the fact that I can't host one from my own computer, or even play one... AND reasure people that unless you have like... AIDS you probibly will be fine if you get the swine flu. Just make sure you have pain killers and yummy things to drink by your side for a week. XD
