Sprite Jam (not the soda)

Julz · « **on:** Jul 09, 2012, 08:48 AM »

In this jam, I encourage you all to make a sprite of your characters. It can be animated or non animated.

However, some of you may not know how to make a GIF, so I'll cover that too!
I use Photoshop to make gifs, and it's very simple.

When saving, for FORMAT you want to make it CompuServe GIF (*.GIF) from the drop down box as your file type.

The next step is IMPORTANT! So BEFORE you move on, click the box to save "Layers as frames".

The next window will pop up and click the "animate" box. In the bottom corner click the preview button and it will show you your gif in action.

Save and you're done!

I will start us out!

Holy crap! this looks awesome! But it's definitely gonna take some time.

I dabble in animation myself... This will need to be done.

Angie · « **Reply #4 on:** Jul 09, 2012, 11:03 AM »

just something simple before work. I might try an animated one at some point. I think I've only ever done a sprite one other time so it was fun.

NEED TO DO THIS

Lucky Nothin · « **Reply #6 on:** Jul 09, 2012, 03:52 PM »

Jira cuz I miss drawing him. xP

Not pixel-ly enough, but I like it. Wasnt there a tut a while ago for pixel images?

Note: This is a .gif btw , still dun get it.

Ta-da! Gonna make a talking sprite, and it's gonna take forever but here's a start.

In order to more effectively publicize my completion of Ancelin's redesign, I have made an adorable animated sprite of her:

I'll probably do one of Bill, too! This was so fun to make!

MyHatsEatPeople · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 03:32 PM »

I can't really animate for shit but I'll try again another time,

This is fun so I'll probably make some more but for now:

Ghetto Void fighting game portrait

Turning this into a gif messed up the colors! But I spent all day on it so I don't care!

Cracking Skulls · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 04:53 PM »

This was both fun and annoying.

But mostly fun

Kinu · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 05:33 PM »

I used to do pixel art for fun, so I might add to this later. For now, here is Jimmy.

Julz · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 05:57 PM »

These are all so awesome :DDD

Kozispoon · « **Reply #17 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 06:23 PM »

Hoom, wanna try this. Whats the best program to use in order to achieve that genuine spritey look?

The Bent One · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 06:28 PM »

MS Paint. but you can use Photoshop zoomed in to actual pixels and draw it in there.

Actually, there's no reason to EVER use MS Paint for anything.

Angie · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 06:47 PM »

I've been using Photoshop with the pencil tool.

JCee · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 10, 2012, 09:27 PM »

Totally doing this, though I can't animate for shit XD

Come back later...

EDIT: BACK! Sorry that it's not as small or as pixeled like a sprite should be. But I still had a ball with the pencil tool. Might make a better version next time.

Mister Kent · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 11, 2012, 01:19 PM »

That looks great Tatsura! They all look impressive

Angie I like your player character icon!

Animeshen · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 11, 2012, 09:55 PM »

ahhhh this is my first go, I haven't messed with the animation in Photoshop for an age so she doesn't do much.
omg Kinu and Angie, yours are ADORABLE.
