First try at a sprite

[wicked1one11!!]

My first try at spriting, nothing too major, just bored and wanted to try my hand at it.
Kinda lady gaga inspired off a mixture of

spoiler: this:1fqfyg82

outfit and her white suit from the bad romance video..

Since its my first be kinda nice lol, but criticism is welcome! I only wanna get better
Based off the Female Monk sprite

[Ryu]

Ah! A new monster sprite! Wonderful!

[wicked1one11!!]

I didn't think it was that bad for a first try.. :c

[jimmyjw88]

Well, its pillow shaded all over the sprite. Use Ninja for the mask.

[mav]

Jimmy's right about the pillow shading. The palette's way too bright. Did you create it yourself? The hair is too blobby now; you're going to have to distribute the shading better, so it'll actually look like hair...

I won't even bother to give crits to this, I really hate Lady GaGa, and I agree with Ryu, wonderful new monster sprite! Hooray!

Monster sprites are way too advanced and complex to do than your average human edits. Calling this a monster sprite would be equal to praising it, which isn't definetly in accordance to your sarcasm.


And for wicked1one1!11 ect.. The best way to start spriting in FFT is to edit original sprites. I'd go and suggest the front diagonal monk pose, to include x1 and x3 previews, and always use colors from other FFT sprites, never your own.

This ought to do the trick.

[Kagebunji]

But Smash, do you know that monsters can be bad done as well? And I certainly didn't mean to praise it.

[Smash]

Badly done monsters aren't "wonderful" like you said.
Nor horrible, as for the official ones. Instead, they're probably the best done sprites in the game.


The new guy just wants to improve. If you all want to make fun of them, at least try to make it productively with a crit or two.  

[Clementine]

I like the concept of a lady gaga sprite... D: But the guys are right. The shading isn't the greatest. And the colors are too bright.
My suggestion is never ever use just plain old white. Use soft greys and dark greys.

[Kagebunji]

What I mean, is that this sprite is a "bad done monster", and my "wonderful", was a sarcasm, but I will no longer offtop here.

See first post.  


Nobody noticed the JPEG?

[Kagebunji]

Nobody noticed the JPEG?

I suppose we were all amazed by the sprite, and didn't noticed at all

[Ryu]

I was simply joking about how Lady Gaga calls herself The Fame Monster. I have nothing against our new spriter.

[wicked1one11!!]

To those that gave me criticism, thank you, I will definitely take into consideration when I retry..lol.
Also just for note, notice I never said it WAS lady gaga, only inspired from her outfit.

And to Kage, thank you for the wonderful criticism, I shall take yours into consideration the most  

Also to Ryu, sorry about that, I get it now xD

[wicked1one11!!]

Sorry for the double post but here's my retry, hope it's MUCH better, I think so at least xD;;

I may come off as dorky but I'm kinda proud of it :p

[jimmyjw88]

Still some pillows on her hair. Also, what's those brown lines on her arms?

[Kagebunji]

This doesn't look like GaGa, so it is a big plus Her arms are kinda long and they aren't connected to chest properly. As Jimmy said, what is that brown around arms? And also there is a lot of brown near her right eye (our right), delete it.

[mav]

Much better. The hairstyle is very cute, just fix the outlines that Kage and Jimmy mentioned (I think you just accidentally used the wrong shade on the arms).

[wicked1one11!!]

Made her right arm a bit shorter, fixed the outline, and moved her head over to the right one pixel (Hoping to make the arms look better attached to her body), and got rid of some of the brown on her (Our) right side
