I just wondered if anybody likes making sprites. I'm fairly new at it, and have only really made a few good ones. I know people here like video games, (it seems the NES more than anything else) so I thought that maybe some people had got into this type of project. This is the one I'm the most proud of. It was made to be in the style of a Kirby's Dream Land 3 sprite. It's one of my original characters, and my favourite one at that. Though she doesn't normally have that bump on her cheek. She usually just a circle head. (Her name is Hairu) I have also put the non sprite version to compare how much better it looks this way. Here's where I learned about spriting. It's an awesome tutorial site with lots of detail. It uses Sonic sprites as examples. http://ssn.sonicstadium.org/

I used to, though I don't have a ton to show for it at the moment. My interest in the prospect eventually devolved into simply modifying sprites, such as this one: From there, I went back to plain 'ol drawing by hand. Then I became an animation major, and eventually lost all desire to draw, period. I just code, now.
Kirby said so, so it must be true. ( >'.')>

I've had it in my head for some time that I ought to try making Esper Terra from FF6 as a KoF character, which is without a doubt the most awesomest idea evar.

Thanks for the link. Maybe I'll give it a shot...

A time-consuming affair, but definitely a rewarding one. Were you wanting to draw her from scratch, or just edit someone else's sprite set to kingdom come?

From scratch, I think. I really like the concept art Yoshitaka Amano made for the game, and would want to express that as faithfully as possible. Edit: It's the weekend, so I buckled down and did a rough bit of what I'm conceiving as a transform animation. The moral of the story is: hands and feet are HARD! :p
