oh =( so it only works on photoshop? and you have to save it as .gif right?

b2d- i think youve got it now. its lookin prety good =D @ sue_kitsu: 1- the reason it looks bad is ebcause i think me haid the hair pure white, and when you eliminate allt he white for trancparency, the hair becomes trancparent too. 2- teach me to make trancparencies pl0x?

yey cads here! thanks for the coments, i was wondering where you got off to =D so things to work on is basicly more contrast and adding a focal point? got it. ill defanantly keep that in mind. off topic: cad, are you a girl? coz i had always assumed you were a boy #-o

:shock: i remmember when you posted that, before the art bazar was even around! i think i still have that saved on my computer with a bit of my (amature at the time) editing rofl!

if i make a sprite, will you make it into a tag? want to compare your sprite works to mine :twisted:

#-o

theanks =)

w00t yey pjb! ot: terly, prehaps you should edit the title, and first post...?

contrast your colors more, meaning make each shade stand out a bit. make suer they blend, but not look like they are the same.

depth- none, try using photoshops many efects and filters both infront of and behind the render lighting- none, look in the faq, theres a semi-decent ligthing tut for abstracts flow- all wrong... this is something you kinda have to figure out yourself... your brushing goes into a sharp diagonal "pattern", but your render moves into smooth swirl around his neck. i strongly advise you against using brushes, try to use defualt smudging brushes, filters, and other efects to create flow. text- alright, could be better border is fine.

it doesnt matter if he said he made it or not, he didnt give credit to the maker... dj, i sugest you read this: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#hsc

thanks for the coment=) feels real encouraging that i have 1 post in 12 hours but seriously, thanks for the coments

noob you didnt make that... thats like the 10th time someone ripped this...

hes big, hes rockey, andf hes not wearing any pants!!! what more could you possibly want?

edit: nvm

i think you need to start moving away from brushes, and learn -to focus lighting by adding gradient and defualt brushing -getting mroe "flow" -making your render stand out a bit, and make it the main focus -depth; as of now, there is none. -adding focus, and slightly less bold colors. -different types of borders, as of now there is so much black you can hardly tell the difference some good things are -the text seems to belong there, although i cant really tell if its an antirip rofl... -good colors, but they are kinda bright imo. -great render choice in general -you are quite good at brushing, i love that "partchment" kind of texture you gave it, although i dont like brushing because you cant really achieve flow with them, unless you create your own on every occasion you decide you need one.

please dont take advantage of the fact that it has no text, and dont ripp... sprite from KoF '02 or '03, i forgot... 40 some layers of effects, starting only with a gradient bg and the sprite no c4d's no brushes. at all. not even defualt. edit: eew, what the crap is that white thing on the side..... its not suposto be there, so just pretend its not... sory about that, not sure what that trash is...

paper mario style is the way to go as long as your making your own sprites. also, on the paper stuff, add more contrast. making the grass lower would also help.

some good things are -text, just seems to fit to me. -border works. -there is at least some mild "flow" in this -the stars are alright, but hopefully they arent a premade brush, and even now the opacency should be a bit lower. there is no -focus on lighting -deotg -minimal flow -simple brushes, and what looks like a colorize filter, which i would pretty much just loose all together.. -blending can be achieved by using similar colors and focusing lighting with gradients and gradient maps, not colorize filters :roll: i sugest the use of -c4ds -gradients -gradient maps -less brushing -more "efects" in general that pretty much sums up meh critts.

sorry for the ot, but how do you maintain such good quality with a gif?

i think his head needs to be bent a bit lower, to show that he is leaning forward. if you need some refrences, check out those old mario animations rofl, they are prety smooth and give a good runing illusion. its much easier to do running animations from the side btw.

hi flamer! welcome back!

make meh gorilla tranceparent! remove the border too.

Same here :-k x3.

i could prety much care less, i can do abstracts (ive actually made a few decent ones :o ), pixels (preferibly), and digipainting (meh i got a bunch better sence i last posted some of it rofl..) if born2die is up to it, ill do a pixel colab with him, but if he doesnt want to, its fine.
