I never thought I would be posting a WIP, but here goes nothing. A couple days ago I ran across a nice spriting tutorial by Spidermew, and I sprited my first ever sprite (of Fireman from the Mega Man series), which I posted over in the Sprites Section. After that I tried spriting my first superhero, Red Tornado. My first attempt was posted on the Sprites section as well. Lets just say it didn't look as good as I thought it did, and I dropped it for another base, but still wanted to attempt the Red Tornado. So I went at it again, and came up with this:

New Stance with Head portion of cape from DARKTALBAIN

If you line up the sprites in the animation , he will look good .

Thanks mate, I uploaded the wrong gif. I just uploaded the right one, now he looks like he should.

That is excellent spriting work jlg6184.

Here, I think it looks better without all the white around it.

Good luck with Red Tornado and don't hesitate to ask for help.

Thanks for the compliment, and I am fairly sure I may have to ask for help at some point. Also, thanks for the no white background version, I went ahead and updated the first post with that one.

We have a Wip going on Reddy at the moment as Well, however the design is somewhat differant. Maybe we could colaborate efforts as I think it would be easier to edit our sprites than it would a base from scratch.

The only thing I dont like is that you have yellow gloves, and boots on which I think takes away from his look since Reddy has rarely ever worn standard boots or gloves. Ours looks like this

DARKTALBAIN · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:10:18 PM »

alexziq does bring up a good point . He rarely had yellow gloves & boots . Just change them to red & put the lines on top .

Now as for his next idea . I would have to disagree . If you have a better edit with what you are working on . Why backtrack & try to fix something broken to make it almost as good as yours ?

I say keep spriting from whatever base you are using & don't play around with this . Because your stance looks great . Maybe use the coding from Red Tornado with added moves . But , 100% stick with your sprite style .

I actualy prefer jlg's look over jasons. It seems cleaner. No offence intended.

The reason I went for the yellow gloves and boots was I liked the look as I was basing my character off of this:

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the stance and sprite style, I sincerely appreciate it.
And as far as the boot/glove thing, I will resprite my main stance and see what everyone likes better, and go from there.

Alright, seeings how the the way the Red Tornado usually looks and the way I made him differ, I decided to try a compromise, you guys can decide which you like the best, then I will continue my spriting.

Option 1: My Original Style

Option 2: More like the Original Red T.

I think option 2 show more of your sprites better....so i you should go with that one

Its up to you after all it is your character....

dragonesku · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2009, 08:12:21 PM »

# 1 has more a super hero vibe to me, but if you want to keep red tornado's character go with # 2, either way is good.

I tend to agree on the super hero vibe, as evident by me going with gloves and boots originally, but I have to admit, after changing the boots/gloves, and the cape I kinda am leaning toward #2 as well. Also changing it let me see minute details that needed fixed which I am working on now. I just hope this character doesn't become too much for me to be able to do. 1 sprite at a time i guess.

One thing you did forget is that part of the cape that comes around his head .

jlg6184 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 05, 2009, 08:43:01 PM »

Actually I am working on that now, as the original picture I was using to go off of had him without the face part of the cape, So now I am just trying to figure out how to sprite it (not that easy for me). Also am reworking muscle structure as I felt too much of the original base was showing through.
