Learning how to sprite ponies

[Darkanine 12]

While i was away i did some major work on my MLP game and thus started to sprite certain ponies Dshou(The guy who made the base sprites) he hasn't made and because i like to have alot of secerts in my game i wanted to use side characters and certain OC's if they allow me(of course)

My first sprite(spit fire)

Working a prince blue blood sprites(99% done just need to add a bow tie and maybe a tux)

if anyone wants a sprite of their OC i'll be happy to make one but i might only be able to make one a day

*Raises hoof* Oh Me me! Please!? Ok excuse that part make's me feel desperate ( I am! ) but can make one for me if you don't mind my OC is my avatar at the moment so it serves as picture base

Can you do my oc? I've always wanted to see a sprite version of it but I'm not very good at any type of art. My OC is my profile picture for reference if you do end up making it.

[Darkanine 12]

Mellows was surprisngly easy(except for the NES controller) I'm not sure if its cropped to work in a game right though ,sorry rascal I know its medicore but i'm not good with compicated designs yet

I would advise against drawing your sprites on a white background as your colors will likely look very different if you were to place your characters in a dark setting. I hear that drawing them on a gray background is best for making sure your characters look best on any background, but if a character is going to appear in a very specific colored background, it's best to draw their colors on that background to make sure their colors look right.

 

Just a thought.

Don't worry about it i really like how ya did on it and it's not like i asked for perfect amigo. You did awesome man ya even kept the shirt in thank you.

I swear there's a way to whip up a pony sprite maker.

 

People who are making pony kart made one simply because of that need to create some and fast.

 

You just take most of the code for a pony creator programme... and add an export routine.

The closest thing you have to a pony sprite maker is the numerous pixel artists who make edits to desktop ponies. Besides, isn't ponykart a 3-d game, or am I confusing that with a different project?

 

 

I don't,Its a transparent background actually

 

(stupid brain farts. I'm getting a lot of them lately.)

 

If you want more practice so you can start getting faster, here's another you can do:

Sprinting is what I run into all the time when I try to make a game. I'm kind of sad I won't be able to participate in the My Little Game Jam because you have to make your own sprites, and it would take me the whole 48 hours just to finish 1 sheet.

 

Did you use any tutorials to learn how to do it? Or just teach yourself?

[DShou 3]

Made an account just to respond! Hiya, glad to see people using my templates and even in fact trying out the characters I haven't time to get to and all!

 

Edit - Now it took me a moment to notice your dA link and to see you're NeoBolt, but still, same message pretty much!

 

If you ever feel confident about it, you're allowed to ask me to put your char. sheets in the overview - http://fav.me/d535d0m (I'll have to give the characters a bit of a check-up if they're on the canon list) - if you're alright with sharing them to others for their own games - anyways nice work and hope to see more!

Hey dshou^^ anyway I'm not really sure about it,this is peoples OC's I'm just doing the spriting,but when i get around to start doing the other ponies(carrot top,braeburn ect) then sure

[DShou 3]

Yea I didn't really mean the OCs, forgot to note that - would need permission from the owner. But anyways, it'd be great help to help on the canon ponies.

all you have to do is just go to paint and use the tools in that program to create your sprite.

Can make the sprite stuff of my OC?

Also, are you able to put my OC in the game?

[HereComesTom 2,268]

I think this guy doesn't come to this forum anymore...the date on his OP was over two years ago, and on the other forum thread that his signature links to, he says he cancelled his project.

 

Maybe this thread should be locked or deleted?

This is so cool! and Super cute! I haven't come up with colors for my OC yet, but All of your designs look great! 

[retrosteamknight 22]

Is it possible that you can create sprites for my OC, Garnet?
If not, I understand, but if so, I would most definitely like them.

It's alright. Take your time. You do not have to give them to me immediately.

I will wait here for response.

Well, I have nothing to lose. You can, if you still are, make my OC into a sprite sheet. I need him if I am going to make my game have a large plot twist.

[Melted Dog 161]
