My Spriting Workspace. What's yours like? [Screenshots]

R999 "Like Smash's, I am starting to like your approach more than working with RGB layers in Photoshop for portrait / prototyping work."
As if this is not the technique I just gave you yesterday. It wasn't intended for everyone. Why give my ways out? Only to diminish them. Nothing beats layers sorry.
Mav: I like your mS Paint set up. I think you've inspired me to use a larger canvas. A combined method.

@Smash: That's pretty incredible for you to be working in that workspace! It's very interesting at the last. Although I think you'll be much more organized if you had open multiple files and lay them out in windows and or tabs, I can see how your approach works better for when you are doing free sketching. Thanks for sharing!

I find multiple files way too unconfortable; dunno why, but I prefer to keep everything in one huge place. This way, you have every frame, progress, and reference where you want, and within a select and drag's reach. (Ms paint)

PS, you seemed to have a technique there for sprite / arms alignment, care to share?

Hmm.. If I remember correctly, Zodiac once made a diagram with the space limits one can have on a spritesheet. I placed it on shishi to see in which areas these placements took place, and overlapped on others. Worked wonders when making arm pieces fit to the bodies and such.

Agreed.

Your argument is invalid.



Now..

After all these years, it'd be fun to see how our styles have changed. This is how my pixelling zone looks like today. Definetly alot more cleaner than last time, but I still make a mess when doing FFT related stuff like portraits.

spoiler

May post my FFT portrait making screens later.
