Free sprites for the taking

[nanochess]

 

Illya is the best! You know that last sprite was me, right?

 

I'm pretty sure this topic has turned into a sprite request / presentation oriented affair. Sometimes coders can't sprite and vice versa

Yep, of course I saw the last sprite is from you, a good one BTW

[PAC-MAN-RED]

I was absolutely astonished reviewing each page of artwork. Illya, you're an amazing artist!

 

 

Thank you very much! I enjoy making sprites and wish It could be a full time hobby.

Someone's probably already done this. But, as long as we're on a 'Troid theme

Kickass sprites! =D

Here's one technique I use for my title screens:

 

Take a photo of a subject you like such as this awesome fellow cosplaying Luigi.

 

Resize it to your target, er, size (in this case he needs to fit in 46x62):

 

Place it in your title screen and draw over the major areas of dark and light.

 

Fill in the details and adjust pixels until they feel right.

 

Use VisualbBs title screen editor to add color and serve!

Careful on the copyright infringement there... Freddie Mercury's estate might sue!

 

Nice tip! I did something similar when I helped out Philsan with L.E.M.'s title screen.

I'm new here, so I'm a complete noob at making Atari sprites.

 

It's a minor request, can anybody make a 2600 sprite of my Character, Stryke the Hedgehog?

 

The character is being used as my icon for now.

Greetings to one and all!

 

A few days ago Zuujin was scouring the pages of Google and deviant art searching for a pixelated dragon or dragon head for his project. Disappointed by what he found, he pressed on and soon discovered this thread full of free sprites.

He joined the AA forums and fired off his first message in my direction. Intrigued by his request at making a 20x16 sprite to be displayed on an LCD screen, I accepted the challenge.

 

WARNING! Beyond here... there be dragons:

Zuujin has a thread in a German forum documenting his excellent quadcopter project. Check it out here.

P.S. - As a very kind and thoughtful gesture, Zuujin has included my name and website in his source code. When his project is complete he will share the source code with his community in the aforementioned forum.

I've been fooling around with score fonts more. Here is a calculator-like (i.e. six-segment) score font for bB:

Always like & need different fonts!

(The 1 is usually centered, so it doesn't stand out.)

I totally see your point. Would not be offended if someone modified it. One of the projects I'm working on needs to feel like an LCD game. Since 6 segment displays have the one offset to the right I made the call for authenticity. Not even sure how I'm going to simulate the horrible refresh on those cheap Radio Shack portable games

Can I request a nes Metal Gear sprite sheet in DPC+ 8x16? There is some magic being done in this thread.

Is that 8 wide and 16 tall? Does it have that limitation where you can't really use the far left or right column of pixels?

[pacgreg]

I don't know what you mean, like this is an example of what I mean, but this is about the only one that looked halfway like the target, movement and the enemies are pretty difficult.

I don't use DPC+ so it's pretty foreign to me. But, it looks like you can use the full 8x16 for the characters. I'll start fiddling with it.

[pacgreg]

DPC+ just makes each pixel half as tall as regular sprites, and thank you very much.

[+Gemintronic]

What you're requesting looks like the Arcade Commando font I already done did:

Commando_Score.zip

I'll see if I can make a DPC+ version..

I want a banana sprite for my game I'm working on.

I know I said 7, but I just thought I'd try 8, and this is the result I got. It works rather nicely.

 

[pacgreg]

Oh, I meant more than the font, that's what I've been using. I was hoping for some well done DPC+ sprites width 8 height 16 of these http://www.spriters-resource.com/nes/mg/index.html

[grafixbmp]

I did one once for a game I've been working on and off for years. it is 6 pixels wide and 11 pixels tall. single pixel height.

 

 

[pacgreg]

Ok so I made some decent player sprites by myself but if someone could help with these weird ones, I would greatly appreciate it. I need the 6th, 8th, 11th and 12th rows.

They are 8 wide and 16 tall, since I am using them in DPC+. Thanks!

Here is my take on the Metal Gear / Commando score font for DPC+

MetalGearDPCplus.zip

 

Please note that I've never actually used DPC+ so I'm just guessing these score font sprites are the correct format.

[piders7]

I would like a Link sprite for the Zelda homebrew I'm making.

 

Here's a Link sprite sheet for reference.
