I think the biggest problem with the sprites is that you have parts of them unshaded (placing flats of the same color at a different brightness/intensity level on top of each other is not shading) and the parts that are shaded use a gradient, which is a big no-no (biggest example is the cyan pants). Also, the color choice needs a little work.

Although the shading isn't as good, I still think Uncommon's sprites are better even with that new one. :\

He was talking about the pant color.

Yep. The color of the pants is cyan (the aqua color). I don't mean the character from FF6 (I would have capitalized it if I did Raspberry!

)

I think they're good but with one major problem. In addition to the shading, there is a lack of outlining. Consequently, some of the characteristics aren't as well defined as they should be. But with a few alterations, they coudl be good.

Outlining isn't necesary. It's a different art style.

The guy was asking for our opinions...that was my opinion.

MultiColoredWizard · Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2003 6:56 am Post subject:

All Blazes said is that that was the art style.

While one might have their own opinion, they should respect the opinions of others, though. I'm sure frickin genius can make a decision on his own as to what's necessary and what's not.

To tell the truth, I think his real problem is that he's working off of something that isn't his. That isn't to say that he's doing it without permission, for he has my full permission. What I'm saying is that he's working from something that is different from what he's best with, from something that he's not familiar with.

I've seen Liam's graphics, and they're pretty decent. It's unfortunate that they were lost with Dante, though, and it seems as if he lost his style with that game file. With some work, I'm sure he could find it again, but he first must distance himself from those lackluster graphics that I had. All of the graphics shown here had some basis from mine, and it probably hurt them more than anything else.
