Dark Crusade Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Don't preview them on a black background. I hope you didn't sprite them on that.The palette looks a bit bleh, and the spears need a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawk Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 no it was lime green.however, what background would you prefer one to use for spriting?i just made it black because thats what I do with all things I wish to see that could end up being tiny. to me it makes everything crisp and sharpens the pixels so I can see it if it end up being a small picture.This is by no means something I'll use, its just something I did to try to learn from. Which is why I posted it in here, for guidance, it's been a few years since since I've sprited anything, (my few is by no means 2 years, its more like 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordsower Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I use gimps transparent background, because the contrast helps me. If I'm not using gimp, then I use 25% grey (the light one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawk Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 lmao i havent used gimp since the day they first came out with it on the net. (ages ago)Guess I need to use it since i by no means can use my photoshop on windows 7, keeps crashing display drivers due to the fact that its new version requires your graphics card way too much… even disabled opengl use and still doesnt fix the problem... now it crashes when I make a new document... lmaopscs4 extended+win7 ulti 64bit = evil when used togeather...I did this in graphicsgale...

Homicidal Monkey Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I usually use gimp. Its quite useful since all I need is alpha blending and layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawk Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 think the problem I'm having is the color pallet and not knowing how the dithering works in pixel art.Kreator, I could use a redirection to a explanation on how to dither correctly and I've been looking on deviantart for tuts… unless you know of one directly...Care to help? I learn some-what quick if I have a good place to answer my questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homicidal Monkey Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I suggest practicing with gimp for a few hours. Just do small stuff continuously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zawk Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 lol but you really dont explain dithering, but instead color stacking and basics of color palette finding.decided just to use graphicsgale since i own the full version from past purchasing.

Zawk Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 ah ok, how do you know the selecting of color to use for the dithering, is it based off of current colors around the area needing to be dithered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to pattern them particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawk Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 oh ok, :)Think I'll try that when I get the chance to. Just got back home from being out of state… Gonna be a few days until I get back to pixeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
