Title: Eleven Commandments of Spriting
Post by: Kagebunji on March 13, 2012, 04:48:13 pm
Brought to you by Smash, I am only posting it.


THE UNWRITTEN ABSOLUTE RULES FOR MAKING DECENT FFT PIXELWORK BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOURS TRULY

FIRST, DON'T TRY TO SCRATCH SPRITE THINKING LIKE A KNOW IT ALL; FORGET THAT EGO AND START WITH EDITS, ALWAYS. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY.

SECOND, DON'T USE YOUR OWN COLORS, USE THE FFT ONES. THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS THAT THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING, AND ALL OF US MUST BELIEVE THIS BY FAITH.
(I could bet this was probably suggested before)

THIRD, HAVE A CRAPLOAD LOT OF REFERENCES

FOURTH, USE A SIMILAR PALLETE FROM OTHER FFT SPRITES. KEEP ALL THE BLACKS, BROWNS AND WHITE AND USE THEM ACCORDINGLY

FIFTH, NO BANDING, PILLOWING OR HARSH OUTLINING. THIS IS ABSOLUTE

SIXTH, HAVE A CRAPLOAD OF REFERENCES

SEVENTH, SAME AS SIX

EIGHT, IF THERE'S A BETTER ONE DONE ALREADY, YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE ON IT INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME MAKING ANOTHER ONE!!!

NINTH, IF YOU ARE UNSURE ON HOW TO SHADE, GET YOUR REFS UP AND TRY AND COPY THE STYLE! KEEP EXPERIMENTING AND YOU'LL GET IT RIGHT EVENTUALLY!

TENTH, POST YOUR PREVIEWS IN x1 AND x3 SIZES, ANY BIGGER = SHIT AND WILL BOTHER.

ELEVENTH, JPG = SHIT

Faram.
