Shibuyah's spriting thread, This is where I'll post my sprites. :3

Well...I said I'd make one earlier, but I got sidetracked. ^ ^;
So right now, I'll just start this off with recent stuff, and add onto this post as I get more I want to post.

Do first off, I did some Zelda:ALttP style sprites just now, to see how well I do.

This is..my rendition of Link for an ALttP hack/styled fangame.
The reason I have two of the same pose, and a red line between, is because one isn't wearing a belt, and the other is.(I'm also not sure which side view head is best, and which "just woke up" head to use)
I also have six different palettes, and I'm not sure which one's to use for his tunics. ^ ^;

...Oh look, and edit to the male and female mascots to resemble the first BS Zelda, a fat wolf king, wolf gaurds, and a kinda generic princess.
Any advice on changes to make, and even how to make the princess less generic would be greatly appreciated. ^ ^;

For the side-profile shot I prefer the third from the top.
The belt or no belt question is really hard. They both look good.

I'm not sure what the question is about the "just woke up" head. I see 5 forward-facing faces in various states of wakefulness. Is the question just between the two with a red line between them?

Okay, thanks MadHatter. :3
As for the "just woke up" head, it's the two under the sprites of holding his sword in the air.

By the way, do you have any ideas what changes I could make to the princess to make her less...generic? ^ ^;

I would prefer the bottom "just woke up" face.

As far as the princess is concerned, a crown/tiara would make her look more like a princess I would think. Apart from that (and I hate to say this, but...) princesses are always pretty generic in games. They have almost no personality usually.

M'kay, I think that's the one I'm currently using, but I'll check. :3

As for the princess, your right, not many of them stood out too well in games. ^ ^;
..That's why I wanna make her different from that, if you know what I mean. :3
But overall, thanks for your thoughts Mad hatter. ^w^

Maybe you just need to really think her out a bit - is she ment to be a generic princess, is she Zelda? This is an ALttP hack/fan game concept, right? Maybe you could change her hair a bit, give her a more interesting hairstyle or a hat or better crown - I think she already does have a tiara or something in her hair?

Hmm...that's a good point Coinilius.
Okay, I'll look into it, thanks for the tips. ^w^

The wolf men sprites look good, btw - is there going to be a wolf princess as well?

Probably, but I want to think of a cute design for her first. There might even be a prince. :3

By the way..

Little update on Link.
Added more heads, and a couple more poses.
I think overall, it's turning out pretty well. ^w^
Which of the pushing/lifting faces do you guys like best? I personally like the gritting ones best, since they seem a bit more realistic and serious. :3

It depends what you're going for. The character looks pretty Link-ish so if you're trying to go for that then the red face reminds me most of Link from the main series. The gritting teeth face seems more accurate to to real life to me too, though. So I guess I'd say if you're trying to make the character as Link-like as possible I'd go with red face otherwise go with gritted teeth.

I agree with coin, by the way. The wolfmen are great.

The gritted teeth slightly win out for me, though they are both good - it would really come down to personal preference I think.

Thanks for the input MadHatter.
For the Wolfmen, I used the head of the wolf you see in BS Marvelous:Camp Arnold as reference, but merely edited it for the king. ^ ^;
But I'm glad you like it, and thanks for your opinion. :3

I think I agree, I like the gritted teeth better, so I'll just stick with that. ^w^

What topic did you say you'd get around to it, Shibuyah?!

EDIT: Nice work though!! *Winks @ Shibuyah*!!
