yes

Quote from: "Bloodthirster0"just a quick question,does the black from the background count as one the 16 colors?

You bet. Also, you're gonna need to re-shade the shoulders on the forward-facing sprite. Whoever designed the original knight really mucked up on it. It's too light, look at the Skeletons to see it done right.

QuoteHa, wow. I never would have guessed that was Melo.

Me too!

Anyway, yeah, Asmo has great observation with sprites,
so I suggest you follow his advice.. But the front sprite doesn't
get to be seen much in-game.

I re-shaded the front view based on nothing,idk if its good,but I dont looks plain anymore


EDIT: The sprite its like 80% complete,and those missing 20% are the parts of the sprite that I fail epicly and really need someone do it

Sprite parts:
Body - Balk
Face - 20Yo Man
Cape -  Knight

Looking good.

I like it over all, but I don't quite like the hair. It reminds me too much of the original character.
I'd try to make the hair match the portrait more.

I fucked around with the front view. Shoulders, chin, waist area.

That looks really nice!

It look better ^^

yeah, Asmo's version for the front sprite is better.

Oh btw, the part in the middle isn't hard to make. It's just the 'on-water' sprites. They are based on the walking sprites.

Oh, try Delita's hair!

Do you mind if I work on it?
Here:
(added Asmo's edit, added mav's portrait)

It's almost finished,
you just need to,
-test the animations
-recolor the head
-fix the on-water dead sprite
-edit minor details

oh btw, you might want to reinsert the portrait again, if you recolor the head. To prevent further problems. It's on 29 colors.

I think the sprite itself may have 20 colors...Gimme some time and I can probably reduce the sprite (if it does indeed have too many colors) and I'll insert the portrait and check it on Shishi.

EDIT: Alright, looking at it, I see a couple problems: a couple of the sprites still have Balk's hair color. These are the singing animations, the damaging-taking sprites, the dying sprites, and the dead sprites. Wait...it's all the sprites that aren't in the first three rows: they all have the wrong hair color. Fix that quickly.

Also on the far right (our right) the third sprite from the bottom is apparently too high. This causes the head to disconnect from the body for a short while. It's hilarious, but wrong.

I'll let you take care of these things, Bloodthirster0, since it'll help you out as a spriter.

Aww...20 colours..really? Well, it wouldn't be a problem with your skills mav ^^

oh,thanks Mike,it saved me a lot of time and pacience with that

only needing a fix on the water dead,face type and hair color.

I always disliked Balk faces,it looks like an angry bear "Grr,Who stole my honey!?"

Oops, didn't realize there were replies here. I'll retype what I just edited:

Ah, I just noticed. Yeah, too high ^^

the sprite is next to its completion,I did the hair and face recolor/change,but I had a few difficulties with some partsand the dead on-water still missing  and I didnt change the high sprite,cuz I didnt locate it (seriously)

here are the sprite and the zoom of the parts I had difficulties

sorry for the double post,but it needs to be on a different post

Look,Its mav!

Hah! He looks just like me. :>

And great progress on your sprite; I've attached some images that should highlight the problem with the floating head. I also notice that the sprite may be sharing a color with the portrait, if this is the case, it may need one of the colors to be replaced (I suggest the portrait, since you should be able to give any color any value and it'll work fine).

I cant set that head properly,looks like its always wrong,I got rid of this small color problem by erasing the portrait for a while and re-setting the pallete

I also found some other problems.

Animations:58(spell casting mini face),72(critical mini face),129(Idk why it looks buggy),from 133 to 181 looks weird,some water walking/riding animation has leftovers from the sprite below
