Won't doing this to existing characters completely mess up the palette?

Oh yeah i forgot to mention that. When you make a character hires the palettes will not work anymore so you will need to make new ones.

awesome tutorial bro good job, and yeah you guys are all right it does take a long process, however the results will be definatly worth it

Great tutorial! I definitely noticed the detail in difference between the old sprite and the new sprite. Maybe I should start doing this after my next char for my next char.. ..

Good Vid. I believe the chars u mentioned were made with PSP. Im glad you made the bottom vid too b/c I saw the YouTube one first and you cant really see the difference.

Maybe I'll try my own hand at a hi-res conversion in the future.

Hey guys great news. Last night i got 4 sprites done of Silent Storm and am already on my sixth sprite. Man this is starting to become a lot easier to me.

I tried doing that but you have to clean every single sprite after that. try changing the background and you will see. Now what I will do is resize the sprite 2x and just trace it.

Exactly - because you're editing it in RGB mode you're getting a lot of anti-aliasing around the edges.  Looks good against the pink background but if you change it I think you're gonna see he has a pinkish outline caused by the anti-aliasing.  So yeah I think dennis is right, there's gonna be a lot of cleanup work required if you do it like this.
