Spacewhale's spacey pixel art

Since im gonna sprite the Elite Four, I thought I should start with the music waifu

Try spritingsomething this fucking huge late at night heeeh haaaaaaaaa i need to rest
Thank you for the kind words Duke! :D

well the cat's out of the bag

If you weren't already working on the Annie game I would ask if you were interested spriting for my Kill la Kill game, cause this stuff is great.
 
Man how does he walk in those heels with those tiny legs and fancy accessories?

Edit: must be a pain to draw over and over

nah, there aren't many different Luso Artworks, and the sprite's size makes it look almost devoid of all this exaggerated nomurization

Actually, that's really common with old/portable Square sprites. when you compare the sprite, how you've imagined the character for your entire life and the real artwork, you brain gets a BSoD.

A good example is bartz:
Sprite:

what i imagined my whole life:

what amano drew (is that the right verb?)

And the nomurized+digital treated version

Well, that's another discussion entirely. A good one, i believe, but not fit for this topic.

no. he's our kawaii spacewhale princess! he just got noticed by Senpai. you can't take him away from this now!
 
Mega Man Mega Time? Yes!

A new stance for Roll, and a example of how it would blend with the official sprites

Found old lineart for this Fake Man sprite, so I shaded it in.

I'm sorta interested to see what you'd do at that scale if you weren't aiming at existing frames... :^)

How's this?

You're on a roll! you're on THE roll!

Can never respect a Mega Man fan or a good sprite artist enough. When you find both on the same person... well, you just got a new fan!

This is so damn cute that I have to reassert my masculinity by watching 3 hours of Spike TV.

A new mechanic for the Annie game, a Parry!

When you use the input down, down, attack, Annie goes into a counter state, if done at the exact moment of impact of an incoming attack, the attack will be deflected and no damage will occur.

Annie will counter attack any physical contact, while projectiles will be simply parried.

Cosmic CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE

that's all I got.

It almost looks like it'll cut open a rift and suck everything in.

Thank you Skullmageddon for the original lineart! I may animate this sprite, or do the other stance he made.

And here's Annie along with the other sprites I made

I finally finished this! I feel rather proud of the outcome. My teacher thought she was a new Disney princess.

Fighter sprites are fun to make, so I might do a couple more. Sling some ideas at me and i'll do the most interesting ones.

I was wondering .. do you use any other software to create your pixel art?, something like paint tool sai is pretty good for editing in layers.. just saying, otherwise your art is pretty damn good!

I use only MS Paint, and Gimp to make them transparent

Someone on Tumblr suggested Paint Tool Sai to me, which i'll check out eventually.

You should do it right now!! (even if it's a trial version)
It will change your life.. paletizing your pictures will be so much faster ,and the editing based on layers will make your life 10 easier!
