WindMage17 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So, I tried my hand at making a battle scene. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilkalizer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well, it looks like a battle scene! Don't have any complaints on that front. Like the purple armour, but the dark teal on his pants looks kinda strange. It seems like you're resizing your sprites improperly, though - they're kinda blurry and messy. Compare the blurring and bright outlines on your hero sprite to to the one on the left. Don't resize sprites if you can avoid it, and if you do resize, only do it at stages of even 100% - like double, triple, etc - using nearest neighbour.

WindMage17 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks for the constructive critique! This was my first work, so I didn't know where to get good sprites from. I opened it in Word (a BIG mistake) and since it looked blurred, I sharpened it (I guess that it wasn't supposed to be done <:D). Can you tell me how to do it properly? Thank you!

Eliwan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Use Paint.net, Windows Paint, Usenti... really anything that was designed principally for graphical editing. [all of the listed programs are free and found with a search on google.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindMage17 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yeah, I used Paint and modified the picture a little. How is it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuTheHedgehog Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) There's a tutorial in serenes forest main page (this one), there is a basic and an advanced one. I made mine here so you can at least see some things you can improve. Original Size Sized... Just a little. Riku's sprite made by a friend. Sniper's sprite belongs to MrStarster. I forgot to say and I don't think it's important, but I made it in photoshop. Edited March 14, 2015 by RikuTheHedgehog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilkalizer Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hero's much nicer now! Still digging the colour scheme. The peg knight still looks weird, though - parts of the outline are darker than it seems they should be, while others are lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
