Eyo! New spriter 'round the block!

[AugustAPC]

Here's a gift. My entree from last week's contest. Sorry, I didn't start stapling my progress until I had already done the outline for the pants. It is all done from scratch, however.

Nicely done. I was wondering if the base was from some Sam Sho character. Pretty awesome to see it was from scratch, came out great.

I figured since I didn't go HD people would assume that it was done with a base. I figure that hurt me in the long run. Oh, well.

Actually I think that if you had put him in an action pose rather than reflective he would have gotten more votes in the contest.

Using a base never hurts anything, man. Most people around here use bases and rarely sprite from scratch. So, the fact that I thought you used a base should be a compliment. As it looked good enough to have been edited over something professionally made.

I agree with this statement. Lo res sprites have beat the hi res stuff many times in the past. I just think if your sprite had some action to it, the votes would have been higher. none the less, it is a great sprite

I appreciate that. Where my concern actually came from was that people wouldn't have felt the effort that went into it. Like if people thought certain parts were just recolors.

I know exactly how it feels, and just so you know, that sprite does look professional, so thumbs up on that, I know what it's like to do a scratch Lo-Res sprite, then people thinking there was very little editing going into it.

First post updated to a sort-of gallery. I'll add more of my old sprites if I can find them, and if I decide to do anything new.

[DARKTALBAIN]

I swear I commented on this before 

Anyway what I said is that I agreed with Acey. I think a more dramatic pose would have got you more votes. Many times in the past lo res sprites have beat hi res ones. All in all your sprite was excellent anyway, though 

[AugustAPC]

Relax. I'm just discussing it, not complaining. I find it to be a very interesting and debatable subject, I'm not trying to say that I should have won or anything like that. I just find it interesting to discuss what approaches people take when they judge or view a sprite. Nothing more.

EDIT:

Another oldie from years ago, again, done from scratch.

[Ununsed-Username]

You spriting skills are beyond me, I wish i had as much skill as you have when I first started spriting!

[AugustAPC]

Much obliged, though I'm not nearly as good as you make me out to be  .

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Wow great job on don to be able to do that from scratch 

[AugustAPC]

Hurrah for not having anything to show for months.

Somehow this managed to win the last contest. Thanks everyone for your votes. Here's the process.

G Lux: Yeah, I know you mean well, but the edit #2 isn't exactly post friendly, just looks too much like she's naked to not be naked bro.
