  1. Hallo, ladies and gents. I’ll try to be brief: I got myself in deep a weekend challenge. I’m doing somewhat okay (for the moment, I’ll the howling and panicking about learning to do all the gameplay in a day in a few hours), but this has me really stuck.

    -I need 4 characters to have sprites in Crazy Leen’s retro pixel style (links below).

    -They do not have to be exact, just be recognizable. (I tried to edit them myself from the existing parts but I’m not good enough at such small pixelling nor have the time to manage it (while working alone at everything else, I mean).

    -I can’t pay for it coz I’m poor at the moment, but I’m ready to whip up some maps as a trade (or anythign else I can do) if you want after the weekend is over (challenge deadlines and all).

    -"Deadline": I'm sorry to say I'm in a bit of a hurry. I need something to use (that is at least roughly visible as the characters) for the map, monday morning (GMT0 time more or less) being the deadline, but ideally I'd want something as soon as possible. Sorry for the rush, but it's the nature of challenges ><

    Materials
    The 4 character designs (do not panic, they do not have to be exact, just roughly recognisable)

    The pixel style I’m aiming at (from Crazy_Leen)

    (It’s a 16*16 pixel sprite doubled up to 32*32, you can see more examples in CrazyLeen's post)

    -Template and parts in her topic here. You can find the sprite template and some basic/hair parts under "Original Retro Sets".

    Thanks for your time, if anyone can help me with this in time I'll be forever grateful~

    (And do a few maps for you or testing or a review or whatever you want if that's your thing)

  3. WOOO thanks a ton! only three to go! (feel free to PM me with any map reqwuests or anythign that's within my power to do after the weekend is over if you want)
  4. Hi Indrah, only had time for this one:

    Edit: Okay, fixed the hair a bit.

  5. Woheee, halfway there! Thanks a ton Alkorri <3
  6. It looks like someone may have done the one I just finished making an attempt at, but you're free to use it or not use it if you like.  My spriting skills are amateur-ish at best though:

    Edit: As is obvious by the fact that I forgot to color the back of her hair in the last row before I uploaded it the first time.   Fixed now.
  7. Here's the green one!

  8. Wahh, thanks everyone ;A; At this rate getting there is only one step away, thanks for the great support OTL

    @FleetingInfinity: I'll use Alkorri's sprite as hers is more recognisable, but thanks all the same for the effort, especially for sucha  rushed thing ;)
  9. Figured I would have another go at this with the last character, see what you think:

  10. Fleeting, did you want to add that cape on the back? or am I missing something?

    Are you making it, like, an over the shoulder cape?

    it's great to see everyone chipping in!
  11. Is that supposed to be a cape?  I thought it was some sort of shield and that's what I put on his arm.

    Working on redoing it as a cape right now.

    Okay, here we go, with a cape.   Quality's not great, but it's what I could do:

  12. Oops, maybe you're right. Indrah. I neeeed you.<br />
  13. It's his ponytail. At least, that's what it looks like to me. FleetingInfinity, you probably shouldn't be mixing pixel sizes like that.

    How am I mixing pixel sizes?   Admittedly I'm an amateur at sprite art so I'm not sure what you mean by that, but all I did was take the characters that Indrah pointed to, and a clothing-set that went with it, both from the same topic.  Then I painted over it myself pixel by pixel until it looked somewhat like the picture.

    Edit:  You could be right about it being his ponytail.  I'm not sure which it is now.
  15. You see my net sitting on the same tabs all day, more like XD

    What cape? O-o? Poor blueguy is wearing a bodysuit and little else. Do you mean his ponytail?

    @Fletting what Shaz means is that this pixel style is a 16/16 sprite amplifiedx2. So each "dot" should actually be 2*2 pixels. You made some correct 2*2 dots, but also mixed it with single pixels, which gives the sprite an odd uneven look.

    Still, there's a color palete and shape in there, so I'll edit it. Thanks anyway ;)

    I met my quota! Thanks a lot everyone. Feel free to pm me with any work I can do in exchange.

    Ah okay, makes a lot more sense that way.   My fault.   Glad you can still use at least part of it though.
