MD, can you make me some bullets? Like for lists? It's for the site.

Sprite Style: Custom
Type: Still
Description: I need five squares, one will be the orange star emblem, another the blue moon emblem, the third is the yellow commet emblem, the fourth is the green earth emblem, and the last one is the black hole emblem. They all need to be 11X11.
Priority: 7, I need them soon, but it's not a life or death situation.

I already tried doing it myself, but I couldn't get it to look right except for the black hole one. I'm sure you'll have better luck.

Next time, LEAVE the post that the mods have edited. Don't replace it with a new one. - MD

Animation Time!

http://www.filespace.org/mars_djinni/colonelanim.gif

I extended an avatar I had on another forum. Colonel.EXE used to just swing his sword around, now he does some tricked out DBZ-style slashing. Awesome? You be the judge.

[Somia]

I saw that ealier on the forum today. My first reaction was "Ooo, pretty cape.."
..n.n''

I like it, it looks really cool.

[Toasty]

It's really well done. I like how he blinks, dissapears, shows up again, and slashes. The colors are nice too.

[Mars Djinni]

Bear in mind that I just animated that. I just got the sprites from Megaman Battle Network 5 and 6. I didn't make it.

EDIT: If anyone bothered to check the parent post, I made a little gift request thing. If it's for someone on the forums, PM the form to me and I shall surprise them. I'm working on making sprites for all the video game consoles to be used as such. Pixel art (like what I gave Somia) is a choice also.

[Mars Djinni]

Minor work update.

I redesigned Blademan.EXE (yet again) to sport my better modifications. He now has a steel sword instead of an immaterial one. However, it is immaterial when it phases out of his gauntlet. I'll see if I can make a full sheet alter, this seems to be a more final version of Blademan. His Beast Out form will be added later on as well.

http://www.filespace.org/mars_djinni/blademan3.gif

This sheet so far depicts him as blinking, and materializing his blade. Too lazy to animate right now.

[Somia]

Neatoh!
I like the designs and the colour scheme. It's cool how the blade turns invisible at one point.

[Mars Djinni]

You'll notice in the animation it flashes white, since that's the transition between the immaterial blade to metal.

[Blue]

Is there anything out there for the new Mega Man ZX out there?

[Mars Djinni]

No, sorry. Like I said before, DS game sprites are extremely difficult to rip and I don't have reliable tools to do rip them myself.

If anyone's wondering, here's the three versions of Blademan.EXE

http://www.filespace.org/mars_djinni/bmversions.gif

Notice how the colour scheme changed from Navy and gold to bright blue with yellow to finally the blue and grey/silver. I ditched the red completely and will only add it to the sheet version which implies the use of immaterial blades and such.

As well, I used pieces from Colonel Soul, Knightman Soul, Shadowman Soul, Blues Soul, and the Botkai Django Soul.

[Mars Djinni]

My first attempt at a wallpaper: Here

Basically an Archer-based wall designed based on Shinon and Rolf. Somia also pitched in with the effects towards the middle concerning the gameplay screenshot. I used Paint.NET as opposed to Photoshop, which Somia used.

[Somia]

The wonders of Paint.NET. I wanna try that program sometime.

Anyhow, good job, the greeness really fits!

[Mars Djinni]

I'd compare Paint.NET to a drill with half the drillbit missing. It works like Photoshop, but lacks some of the key features (Like a proper customizable ERASER ._.)

[PDM]

It's quite good, but the image itself, when looked at closely, is quite grainy. The glow you've added to the characters, in theory, is a nice effect, yet you went a little overboard.

Fix the glow, and I'd definitely use it as a wallpaper.

[Mars Djinni]

I'll keep that in mind. My next one will be a Black Knight wallaper.

I'm now working on a zoomed-in version of Blademan's EDGEbuster. It's purely custom and will portray how the blade slides out of the handguard.

[FlamingDuck]

Well, the background was pretty nice, though the pictures of the characters were a little blurry. Also, the text seemed a little...cheesy...to me.

By the way, I made this request a little while ago, and I know its a .5, but you didn't acknowledge it and I was wondering if you saw it:

Sprite Style: Uh...Custom, I guess.

Type: Still.

Description: Could I have a white duck with an orange-yellow bill in the style of Earthbound? You know, pixelly and stuff. I suppose it should look a little like this: http://www.robotduck.com/images/duckhome.gif

Except have it smoothed and fixed a little around the edges...

Priority: .5. Just do this when you have time.

[Mars Djinni]

Alrighty, then. I'll see what I can do.

Filler: PET Advanced II Recolour

http://www.filespace.org/mars_djinni/petrclr.gif

Nothing big, I did this awhile ago. It's a PET recolour - Black and Red as opposed to white and blue.

[Somia]

I want a toy version of that. x)

Nice work on the colouring.

[Mars Djinni]

Thanks. I tried as best I could to keep the 3D-ness of the image in colouring. Too bad Battle Network stopped using the PET sprites past MMBN 4.5, the Link PET is absolutely spectacular.

[Toasty]

MD, shouldn't this have gotten pinned? You did get best spriter, or was that only for the drawing art topics?

[Mars Djinni]

Humility is a virtue. u.u

Yeah, forgot about this. I'll pin it now. And.. uh.. yeah. My spriting hasn't been brushed up on and I know my requests have been held up for ages. Once Exam week's over for me, I'll get to work.

[Mars Djinni]

Okay. Well I was bored, so I made a couple Userbars. I'm a poor little fellow, so I didn't use photoshop. Paint.NET's the name + a little of MD's MS Paint magic. *waves hands around*

[PDM]

They're okay, but you'd be better off with Photoshop. I can give you the full version, if you want.

[The Wind Seer]

I want:

Sprite Style: Custom
Type: Animation
Description: A character alike in GS.... in a GS battle vs. Alex
Hair: Blond
Cape: Blue
Boots: Brown
Clothes: Blue
Gender: Male
Weapon: A light blade such as Kikuichimonj or Sylph Rapier or a rod...
Animation:
Cape: swirls around
Weapon: A certain mercury power a lits from the weapon
Priority: 6

[Mars Djinni]

I'll see what I can do.

[The Wind Seer]

Ok Thanks!
I look forward to it.

[Mars Djinni]

By riper, I assume you mean rapier, the French sword?

[The Wind Seer]

Yeah...but I changed my mind ....Instead of ripier it's light blade

[Mars Djinni]

In a GS battle against Alex? What the ****? I hate Golden Sun's sprite style. It's just so damn messy, which is why I hate working with them so much. I'll try, just don't count on it.

[The Wind Seer]

ok...I just put out the alex part...

[Blue]

Would you kill me if I gave you a challanening request?

[The Wind Seer]

Well...for now MD is doing my request...

^And I think he would^

[Blue]

I can wait if he's doing one already. I just want to know cuz I had this kick butt idea for a animated sprite.

[The Wind Seer]

So MD...what's the process on the animation?

[PDM]

I think MD's more focused on VC and destroying the advertisements.

[The Wind Seer]

MD, it was already a month and my animation isn't ready...

[FlamingDuck]

Be patient, or do it yourself.

[The Wind Seer]

ok....I'll wait still.

[Mars Djinni]

Wind Seer, please make your posts more meaningful, or else suffer another warning.

Okay, there you go. All that you've specified is already on Isaac, so I decided to use him as a base.

[The Wind Seer]

Wow! How did you make him!
And by the way, THANK YOU!

Spliced together bits of GS Sprites, drew up a glow, and strung together the 20+ individual sprites into Microsoft Gif Animator. Art program used: MS Paint as usual.

And.. uh, FlamingDuck, it looks more like a seagull than a duck, sorry about that.

[Toasty]

I think the problem with the duck is the head. It's kinda hard to tell though. Mabey it should be more rounded?

[Ironsight]

its the colors. it looks like a seagull because its colored like one. Ducks are diferent colors, like green and black. but its better than whatever i could do so i shouldnt really be talking

[Toasty]

I've seen white ducks before.Mabey color it yellow?

[Ironsight]

MD needs to make a list of orders so i can see how busy he is. i was thinking of asking for a sprite, but i wont ask if he's to busy

[Mars Djinni]

Flaming Duck actually suggested it to be white. It's the head, I suppose.

I'm not busy at the moment with sprite requests, so you can request something if you like.

[Toasty]

By the way MD, do you still have the AW sprite archive?

[Mars Djinni]

I stopped working on it when progress on the AW site died down. I don't think of it as important compared to other things worth my time. I'm gonna try to find time to keep ripping. Next week I have a Track Meet, so i'll be training for that.

[Toasty]

I thought you finished it a while ago..... It doesn't really matter, though I'd really appreciate having that to add to the site.

BTW, I just started track. Still not quite sure what I'm gonna do. Mabey the 50 meter dash or something.

[Mars Djinni]

Finished? You're kidding me. My Megaman Sprites resource is run by more than one person and their MMBN archive is still not finished, considering they started YEARS ago.

It'd be a good tactic to have some of the sprites available, and keep it as a working project so that it doesn't die within a month.

[Toasty]

I didn't think there'd be that many sprites. ;) But yes, that'd be a good idea.

[Mars Djinni]

So let's say we have around 30 icons for the out-of-battle sprites of the army units. Now, with those 30, there are 4 directions they move in, plus the idle sprite. So that becomes 150.

Now, we have to multiply that by 3, since they have 3 frames per movement. 450, we have now.

Ah, and we forgot to add that there are 5 different versions of the units belonging to Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet, Green Earth, and Black Hole. What's that? 2250. Two thousand two hundred fifty individual sprites. That's quite a handful considering it's just for the units alone.

Neat, eh?

[Split Infinity]

I don't think he needs all of them...at least for now. Also, there is no 'idle' sprite.

[Toasty]

Split, the idle sprite is when it's standing still, and yes there is.

I didn't quite realize how quickly it could all add up. For now it'd be nice to just have the idle sprites, so that we at least have one sprite per unit.

[Split Infinity]

But when it's standing still, there is no idle sprite, it's either facing one direction or the other. Wait, aren't they always facing the same way? Oops.

[Ironsight]

Sprite style: 2D, Ragnorok from GS as base if it helps

Type: Animation

Description: I was thinking of something like Ragnorok from GS. except its just showing the sword. the sword could be black with an aura of red around it, and when it explodes, its just a bunch of orange sparks. it doesnt have to be exactly like that, just around those paramiters. nothing to push you too hard

Priority: 3 its not a matter of life or death, just do it when you have the time ;)

When you're standing still, not doing anything, you're idle. Oops.

Believe me. I ran a frame check. I know what I'm doing. I've been working with Fire Emblem Sprites for a LONG, LONG TIME and the work the EXACT same way. Ever realized that AW was made by Intelligent Systems as well?

Duh, where else could all those AW vs. FE polls have come from?

[FlamingDuck]

A little bit late, but thanks for the duck. It rocks.

[Toasty]

I ripped just the idle OS sprites from the deployment menus. I needed them for a project I'm working on for the AW site, but I do still hope to have a sprite archive in the site. Whether it's finished or not doesn't matter, since it can always be added on to.

[Blue]

MD, if you are still spriting, I feel the pirateness swell up again. I need another pirate yoshi avie!
Sprite Style: Custom/ Yoshi sprite
Type: Animation
Description: I need a dark blue Yoshi with a pirate hat and if you can have him swinging a Cutlass that would kick ass.
Priority: 9, like, over 9000! If your really busy just do it whenever possible.

[Toasty]

D; MD's not around anymore to sprite.....

I'm gonna get him on MSN and ask if I can try my hand at filling some requests.

[Split Infinity]

Then wouldn't it make more sense to create your own sprite shop?

[Toasty]

Maybe, but this one's stickied.

[Split Infinity]

So that's how it is, huh? Stealing MD's established empire for yourself? You should be beaten to death with a wet noodle for such an atrocity. In a situation like this, there's only one word that comes to mind.

SHAME.

[Toasty]

No one ever said anything about takeing over his empire. <.<;

[Split Infinity]

Well, you're stealing his topic anyway...

[Ironsight]

If you can find him on MSN or something, tell him to cancel my request. Please?

[Split Infinity]

I think he would laugh if he ever got that message.

[PDM]

CAN WE UNPIN THIS TOPIC YET?
