Raiden (MGS4)

[Ventai]

Does anyone know if there is a sprite of Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 4?
I've been looking for one all over the place and haven't found one.
I guess I could try and make one if no one else has.

Sprite requests, go in the sprite request section. Even though you are mostly asking if such a sprite exists, it still goes there. Please repost in that thread.

I tried my hand at it, and I think for a beginning to him I did a decent job. For my first one ever of course.
I used the Shadow sprite as a base and simply recolored it.

Ventai, use the FFT's colours. It'll be easier for you to replace besides the ones you choose look very bad.

[Ventai]

Thanks for the tip, I plan to change the colors around though. Right now I'm changing the facial features to make it look more like Raiden, when I'm done I'll redo the colors.

[Ventai]

UPDATE: I decided to restart from scratch. Any pointers; or flaws I may have missed? This is just one sprite, if it's good, I'll start on making the other sprites.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post by the way.

[Vanya]

Post it in 2x & 3x so we can see it better.
That's basically standard practice around here when you want feedback.

[Ventai]

Ah, I noticed others doing it. I'll go ahead and do it now.
Thanks for the tip.

EDIT: When I try and do that, it looks very blurry. How can I fix that?

[Wolfran]

Just use Paint and change the size to 200%x200% or 300%x300%.

[Ventai]

Okay, this is the larger views. Like I said, it looks really blurry.

[Wolfran]

Man, you have a lot of work to do but just focus. First, fix the hair specially that weird aura-thing of the sides. Second define his chin. Third and the most difficult, fix the body. It looks too flat and you have a lot to shadowing. I hope you don't give up this sprite.

For future reference, Ventai, please don't upload .bmps. They're a lot bigger than .pngs, and thus can cause pages to load really slowly for people with bad (i.e, Australian) internet.

[Ventai]

Ahh, okay, thanks, I thought I was supposed to post them in .bmps Lol

I don't plan to give it up. If someone could point me to a tutorial on it though, it'd help... I know there's one around here but I can't find it for the life of me.

By the way, the hair wasn't meant to have any aura's around it XP
I meant for it to just look a little messy, rofl. I've got a bit more work cut out for me.
Thanks for the tips guys.

EDIT: Do you think the vest would look better blue? I feel like it looks like a hole in his chest with it black, and I could use more shades with blue to give it a shadow
EDIT2:Here's an update, I feel like some area's have improved, but I'm not a big fan of the hair (I suck with hair xD)

What the f is this? Flatness all over the sprite. Use copy/paste for now, NEVER do custom work now, get better first.

[Ventai]

I tried to do copying and pasting, but it worked out a LOT worse than this one. =/

Any idea's on sprites I could use to copy and paste?

[Kagebunji]

I have no idea what you could use to do this. Raiden is a modern-looking cyborg. There is nothing like that in FFT. And show me the copy/paste version.

[Ventai]

There are some parts I like better, but otherwise it's just looks REALLY messy.

[Kagebunji]

From what I can see, Ninja's head would work well for Raiden. As to rest of the body, I have no idea what is goin on there.

[Ventai]

That's exactly what I mean xD
I'll try the ninja's head then.

.... yo, ASMO??!
