I\'m sharing this thread with my pal here, Jigoku Neko. He and I run a cool RP site based on the EXE series, If you\'re interested, go to Batte-Network Universe

But enough with the shameless plugs, This is the place for y\'all to see stuff Me and Jigoku, aka Dark Hellcat, made. Mostly, I do sprites. Hellcat may do some edits and recolors, but from what I\'ve heard, he\'s mostly going to draw.

Gallery: (Nothing uploaded yet.)

1. *Blank*

2. MMZ-Edit FlareMan
A sprite of FlareMan I made from a MegaMan-Zero pose. The flame is completely scratched and the head is mostly scratch. Something of an upgrade to the original 8-bit design. You\'ll recognize this sprite because I used it in my avatar.

3. 8-bit ZakuMan
These are 8-bit sprites I made by editing my completely scratched GutsMan sprites. In fact, even parts of ZakuMan are completely scratched. Though the poses are old and a bit weird, ZakuMan is one of my many pride and joys.

Okay! You guys are in for a treat!

Click Here!

Lol, sike! Okay, but really... Try this!
These are various 8-bit sprites that I\'ve been working on. The sheets are NOT COMPLETE, so I haven\'t posted them at DeviantArt yet! You guys are among the few to ever lay eyes on these BEFORE they actually become public! So I hope this little tidbit gives you a taste of my talents as an 8-bit spriter.

Thanks. And, yeah... My pal here\'s a guy. Though, it\'s hard to tell when you hear his name.

It most certainly is! XD Zakus are cool. I like the Zeon mobile suits better than the federation. Maybe it\'s because they look more like monsters, rather than people. Hygogg... now THAT was one BADASS Marine suit!

Anyways, I\'ll try and get something else up here soon.

[Edited on 6-8-2004 by FlareMan]

\"Kampfer\", close enough.

Anyways, Here\'s a sheet containing a few of the parts I\'ve used.

I plan to hold a contest with it. I\'ll have to ask an admin first.

Why, thank you.

Check this out.
It\'s a gallery of the Mugshots I\'ve made so far! As you can see, I work up through the series.

Yeah. I\'ve recently been editing his sprites, so his new mugshot will be the new, darker ShadowMan.

Y\'see, the reason he\'s light blue, is because... when I started spriting ShadowMan, I was using the old NES sprite for reference. And back then, ShadowMan was the light blue.

Nowadays, ShadowMan is a darker blue, so I\'m editing his sprites to include this change of color, as well as giving him a few new poses.

Anyways, Now to unveil my very first attempt at a MegaMan.EXE edit!

BEHOLD!!!

Cool! how did you make that? I\'m what you\'d call a \'spriter in training\'. I mainly modify sprites but I\'m trying to do my own.

Check my sig. the black one I call Sniperman

Heh. Yeah. I\'ve had years of practice. But trust me. My first EXE edits sucked horribly. X_x I once tried to make FlareMan.EXE using FlashMan as a base... I totally screwed it up. XD

The way I see it, you learn to sprite by going through the steps..

The first step is the Mastery of Recoloring.
Start with 8-bit sprites and work your way up. Use tools like the Eraser and Fill Bucket. Eventually, you\'ll learn shading and then you\'ll be ready for step-2.

The second step is the Mastery of Editing!
This is basically the part where you add new parts to already existing sprites, or changing the parts that are already there to look different. Sometimes this involves Frankensteining, which means you take parts from different sprites and put them together. Then edit to make it all look solid. As always, start with 8-bits, and work up. Once you master editing, you\'re finally ready for step-3

Step three is Scratchwork!
Once you master editing and recolors, you can now try to make your own sprites out of nothing. After studying already existing sprites, you should now have an idea of how yours should look when you make them. Once again, start 8-bit and work your way up. Personally, I stayed with 8-bit.

What, you mean like, uploading to the net?

Dude! Go here!

BEST Image host ever... You can upload all you want, and they allow direct linking! And in a forum, that\'s a good thing.

An unfinished picture of DataMan I made.

BTW, DataMan is one of my 8 personal Robot Masters.

The others are,
JetMan
FlareMan
SleetMan
SolarMan
HoloMan
AcidMan
GearMan

Yeah, I was sure mine would fit inside just fine, but if you think it\'s big maybe I\'ll put it in a link anyway.

Yeah. There IS an awful lot of brightness in it...

Well people! Got something cool for y\'all today! Sprites of AstroMan, in 8-bit!



Yup, now all I need to sprite are some good 8-bit meteors...
