[SuperAj3]

Looking good so far! The front face gives off a menacing feeling.

[Backburner26]

Looks great, do you have a name for him yet?

[SilverGS]

Not really, I only have the last name Black at the moment... But I have a lot of time to think about a name, because he won't appear until a while in the fangame (If I ever manage to release it XD). Thanks anyways !

Have some other sprites :


A lot of people have probably already made that kind of sprite, but here's my version of Young Manfred


One of my favourite characters from DD, Herman Crab. Still in progress, but I'll do a full set, just don't expect it to come fast.


The head of another crossover sprite in progress, this time it's Samus Aran from Metroid.

[Ropfa]

Ropfa likes these sprites.

[SuperAj3]

OK your sprites are looking incredible!
Love your spriting style too!

[Backburner26]

Lookin good. Your a natural!

[lx1.ica]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my sprite topic ! I do most of these for fangames, and want to improve my spriting skills, so advice is greatly appreciated !

Some notes about using my sprites :
- Credit is, of course, mandatory
- Permission is needed, except for sprites labelled free to use

Spoiler:

In order : Herman Crab from DD, a prosecutor for my fangame, and a scratch sprite of Samus Aran from the Metroid franchise.

Free to use.

Spoiler:

Was just messing with some sprites and this was the result. Free to use.


My entry for the "Sound of Music" contest on AAO, when you had to do a sprite based on a music. This one is based on the song Phoenix by Daft Punk. Finished in 3rd place.


"How about a magic trick ?" Unfinished sprite of Shaco, one of my favourite champions from League of Legends. Free to use.


"Show me your moves !" Because Captain Falcon is my favourite Nintendo character, I tried to do a sprite based on him. It came out pretty nicely imo ^^

Blade (A friend of mine and member of AAO) - Catherine Idea

Spoiler:

NOTE : Usable only by him

I first did it by scratch :


But I couldn't see that sprite anymore because it looked so amateur-ish when compared with my latest sprites, so I totally redid it :

I like your sprite concept for prosecutor Black also the scar is a curious detail.
Good work. hope to see more sprites in the future.

[Mayu Igiyooki]

I like your spriting style, Silver. But what about completing Young Manfred's Sprite?

[SilverGS]

You mean doing a whole spriteset of Young Manfred ? Already planned to do that, but I'm working on my fangame so I'll do it later. ^^

Anyways, did another young version of an AA character. This time, here's young Kristoph :

Woah! Looks awesome How about a young gumshoe

Wait. Is that Defense Attorney Kristoph Gavin! He looks younger! Well, almost. Looks pretty nice, though. But do complete that young Freddy's sprite. There are some people whom wants to create a fangame about the prosecutor being Manfred von Karma.

[SuperAj3]

LOL He said it was a Young Kristoff in his post. It's a nice clean edit! I like it a lot!

Also I'm sure I've seen someone on AAO make a set of young Manfred sprites. If you really need them maybe look there?

[SilverGS]

Finally managed to finish the first sprite of Dr. Crab !

[Backburner26]

Damn thats nice! Are you doing the other poses or just that one?

[SilverGS]

I thought I already said it, but I'm going to do all his poses by using Mijumaru's iOS rips (big thanks to you for ripping the DD "sprites' by the way, mate !) It will take a while, though.

[Backburner26]

Sweet, cant wait to see more from ya.

[SilverGS]

Made the second pose of Dr. Crab.

[SuperAj3]

Wow! These Crab sprites are looking incredible! Really nice detailing you do on your sprites!

[mercurialSK]

I'm really liking how you're using the antialiasing shade to make the illusion of gradients in the Crab sprites. That effect is one of my favourites XD

Is he meant to be angry in the latest two? That looks like there's an anger mark there in his hair but it's hard to see and I'm not sure if it's shadow in the hair...

[SilverGS]

Yes, that was meant to be an anger mark, but I see why you can mistake it for a shadow. I tweaked it a little, that should look better :

______________

Update time : I made a paper-reading sprite for Young Kristoph this morning :

[Backburner26]

They look really good silver!

[SilverGS]

Thanks ^^

Those will be the last sprites I'll post until a while, because my university exams are approaching. First, I animated the sprite made by Mijumaru of DA Old Mia :


Then, here's my entry for the current contest on AAO : "Luck O' the Irish". It's based on a Leprechaun.


And finally, some sprites I'll work on after my exams :

Extremely WIP zoom sprite for Old Mia (Zooms are just awful to edit btw X_X), Objection sprite for Young Kristoph, and some OC.

Yes, that was meant to be an anger mark, but I see why you can mistake it for a shadow. I tweaked it a little, that should look better :

Huh. I see the colour change, but maybe consider moving it some? Mostly because that's the location where the penguin is, so if the sprites are used in a game it could look like the penguin just buried itself there, I mean.

Good luck on your exams XD

[AnastasiaGavin]

once th ekristoph section is finished may i use those sprites on google in hangouts and posts? I play a kristoph account

Well, in-game the anger mark is exactly at that location so I don't really think that's a big problem. Still, I may do a "start-up animation" so that the transition from one sprite to this one doesn't look weird.

As long as you follow the conditions on the first post, go ahead and use them !
____________

Update time : I've updated the front post :

- Conditions for using my sprites are more clear
- Added the "Crossover sprites" and "Contests sprites" sections
- Updated the banners for each section
- Added a note to each sprite / sprite set. That way, it's easy to see what sprites are free to use

And here's some more sprites :


Objection sprite for Young Kristoph. I think it came out pretty well.



Two more poses for Old DA Mia. I totally didn't do these because the zoom sprite is so hard to do


Front sprite of Akbey Hicks from AAI-2.


Hobo Phoenix with his jacket. This was inspired by concept art, and I tried a different style on this one.

[jmkrebs30]

Old DA Mia is looking pretty good! Keep it up!

[SuperAj3]

These are all looking really great! I can't wait to see the rest of the Old Mia DA as well!

[TheDoctor]

I'm glad that Older!Mia is being worked on. It really fits her much better for the role I'm giving her in Shattered Glass.

[SuperAj3]

I was looking at the Older Mia sprites, and looking at this one, I noticed you didn't change her belt.

Her belt is different in the older sprites It's more of a clip, rather than a buckle you thread the belt through.

Other than that they look great! Keep up the good work!

[SilverGS]

Nice catch, I totally forgot about the belt
I placed the sprites on the defence benches and the belt isn't visible. So I'll change it at some point, but after the set is finished ^^

[Mayu Igiyooki]

It took you a long time to create the other poses of DA Old Mia, Right? They look nice though...

He took over from me a week ago. I take the blame for the time gap.

[SilverGS]

Credit MercurialSK as well for the Athena sprite used in this.

And a quick tutorial for doing that kind of fades, if people are interested (at least one XD). For this one, we'll do the same image as above, but with Klavier instead of Athena.

Spoiler:

NOTE : I'm using paint.NET, so some options may have different names depending on the software you use.

Open your software, and put your sprite and a background on two separate layers. A background isn't necessary for doing that, but it helps to see if you did the fade right.

Step 1 : Making the character sprite white



First of all, you'll need to make your sprite entirely white. An easy way to do it is to go to "Hue/Saturation" and increase the "Lightness" to the maximum.

Step 2 : Prepare the fade effect

Now that your sprite is white, select it using the "Magic Wand" tool. After that, you'll have to create a new layer, but be sure to keep the selection. You'll get something like this :


(Don't be afraid of that window "Calques" next to the image : It's the french equivalent for layers !)

Normally, at this point, you have a background as your first layer, your white sprite in the second, and you just created a third one.
Now, we'll go to the "colors" :



You can select two colors in this window. For the primary one, pick whatever you want, but for the secondary, be sure that "Opacity - Alpha" is set to 0, like in the image above !

When you did all of that, it's time to do your fade !

Step 3 : Making the fade

Before you do the fade, uncheck the layer with your white sprite (the second one). Otherwise you won't see the fade you've done.
Now, you just have to use the "Gradient" tool on your third layer. With the selection you made earlier, your gradient will take the shape of the sprite !


(You should get something like this)

Finally, I messed a little bit with opacity and the feather effect and this is the end result :



I hope it's understandable, it's not the easiest thing for me to explain (especially since I'm not a native english speaker)

[mercurialSK]

Here's an anti-aliased version of the silhouette if you'd like it :)

Nice tutorial. Would the Sharpen filter help with the fuzz that comes from blurring/feathering?

[SuperAj3]

Thanks for making this! I was thinking more of how you edited out the other character's silhouettes, but I noticed you scratched the background as well! (silly me)
Now any one making a fancase who wants their HUD to have a custom character can now work out how to make the effect! This will be very useful!

[SilverGS]

Would the Sharpen filter help with the fuzz that comes from blurring/feathering?

I'm sure it could, I'll mess with it to see if it's possible to get a cleaner result ^^ (Thanks for providing an anti-aliased silhouette btw, I'll revamp the original image using it !)

Thanks for making this! I was thinking more of how you edited out the other character's silhouettes, but I noticed you scratched the background as well! (silly me)

Actually, I didn't scratch the background : It's the AJ defense bench with minor edits x)
