These are all really awesome, keep up the great work! Do you think you could post the riot-shield graphics without anything holding them? They would be useful for a player shield as well.

done

The Enforcer with a Riot Shield suffers from Nuclear Winter syndrome: the new object's animation frames don't change, which looks odd in-game. (You can observe this with the Santa hats on all the sprites in NW.)

[Jimmy]

I agree. It comes off sort of clumsy.

[jet_nick]

will improve but it will be difficult

Dunno if it's allowed or even legal (I don't think anyone would care at this point) but I've been looking around Shovelware CDs and in 'Total Meltdown' there are at least some useful files (I think) that mappers/modders could use.

I've came across these textures before. Where they actually came from?

These sprites seem to be from Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance, a TBS/RPG hybrid. Here are shots from the game with the mace guy:

A rushed in-between pump frame for the shotgun. The mechanism inside the ejection port is based off of one of the shotgun photos. It will need some work.

Why thank you! I just recognized the Orc sprite as it is shown in one of the preview screenshots in the Birthright demo (TBH I haven't played the full game).

I decided to do my interpretation of how the final handle was placed.

This is simply awesome !

mmm that one isn´t quite as good as the others. But it´s mostly a color thing I guess.

[DavoX]

I like it! he looks badass

[Marcos]

I'm a little dumb for this kind of thing but how you guys make these incredible sprites, enemies and etc?

[Gambini]

That depends of the sprite. Most times those enemies are done by merging other enemies and changing details and colors. It´s a tedious work but once you get the hand of it it becomes a little less tedious.

I, for example, make a big image and paste all the tiles there, in rows. Then I use new layers for the changes. There are many quirks and tricks. If you want, say, a duke with black pants, you´ll have to paste all tiles you´re going to use in this sheet, then make a big selection that covers all pants bits of all tiles. Then you apply color/shading morphs. If you want a duke with a pig face, you´ll have to manually crop all possible head postions in the pigcop tiles and create a 2nd sheet from which you´ll copy paste the templates trying to find the most suitable for each new frame. Blending and other things are done manually with soft brushes. Then you can match colors from original tiles so it´s not a waste when you finally convert those tiles to 8bits. I think the most challenging part is making a convincing sprite with such small amount of pixels, a human face is generally as big as 10x15 so there´s no room for things like mouth or eyes, they´d look stupid if you used blue eyes or a red mouth, so it´s all about contrast. Finally, the most annoying part is doing hard borders in order to avoid artifacts when your tiles are finally exported.

Wow, thanks really helped!!

[Cage]

Nice idea and you've assembled it together well, but the upper body/torso is too big for the legs, especially in the dying frames.

Thanks!

Well that´s too bad because I don´t have paintshoppro. Maybe it could be saved as png or psd format?
