ipkjooo Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 This was my first sprite sig that I've ever made. Made using GIMP 2.0 Made Another with some of the comments in mind GIMP 2.4.6 Used :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Gimp 2.0? That is seriously outdated. First thing is I think you should consider getting the gimp 2.4, it's free as always and has more improvements than the change in version number implies.

Sam Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Take dsavi's advice. The main things you need to work on are the background and text. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipkjooo Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Turns out I have GIMP 2.4 :roll: The icon just says 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VjuliusT Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Update to 2.45 for bug fixes. Colours are quite good but you have to work on those things little mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licky Kat Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I really like the area around the sprite. I think the sig is too long though, cut off about an inch on each end. Work on the font as well. Not bad for a first. I've never done a sprite myself. Call me Kat, or Kathy Corkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipkjooo Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thanks guys! Do you think adding a C4D would improve the background missing-ness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It would, but don't just paste it on. Smudging it (With the vine brush at 1 spacing, no jitter) slightly would help I suppose, but I don't know a link to a good technique for that. Gimp 2.0? That is seriously outdated. First thing is I think you should consider getting the gimp 2.4, it's free as always and has more improvements than the change in version number implies. GIMP 2.45 is out too. 2.46 is out :P (With fixes in PSD layer mask support :) ) Yeah, I know what you mean by that now though. My icon says the same thing. So yeah, you're fine.

Sam Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Adding a C4D or two is normally a good idea. Put it in the layers under the sprite. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 New looks quite good, I like the burnt sort of feel to it. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VjuliusT Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 New one is worse to be honest, Too many colours and as Little say it feels burnt/over contrasted on the right side. two different flows kind of which makes the signature uneven. Black line dividing the signature up the render & background. Effects are also somewhat boring and doesn't really go well together. Not good to be honest :(.

Jopie211 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The first one is alright, but get rid of the black stroke with the text on it. The background is pretty boring here too. Background is better on the second one, I don't really like the overcontrasted feel of it either though. The text placement and font aren't great, try not to place text in corners. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipkjooo Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks for letting me know Jopie, look at my other thread though, I made a different sprite, I think it's better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
