Redhalberd's Shwag

It looks pillow shaded because you’re technically pillow shading, you make the highlights to the center of several shades. I suggest to first make the complete lineart, then fill with the main color and add the highlights (bigs, smalls, whatever), then the darkest shadow, and then finally add the remaining colors.

Most possibly (havent zoomed) you have about 4 or 5 unnecesary colours there which only make you think they’re needed when painting, leaving no space for the next color.

Looking good though, I would reduce saturation some.

Hmm, well that’s sort of a problem.

What do you mean by highlights (bigs, smalls)? I guess I understand the color issue. But can I fix it without reducing shades? So basically, sometimes you should skip a shade or two to make it more realistic? And what do you mean by reduce saturation.

Omg, It’s noob questions all over again, lol.

Less saturation means make it greyer, pretty much. (I’m not 100% sure on the technicals.)

I wouldn’t “skip” shades, rather reduce the amount of shades you have and change them to fit the particular contrast level. You need to have your dark colors much darker than your medium colors, which can be grouped close together, and then have your light colors much lighter than the medium colors. If you have equal contrast between every one of your shades, it creates the pillow effect.

Hope that makes sense. <_<

This is a saturation scale. Basically, the more saturated with color (hence the name) the more cartoony it will look. Reducing the amount of color thats saturating a single pixle implies lowering the colors, thus increasing grayness. :slight_smile:

Ah, that makes sense, though In a relatively painful way. I always assumed that you wanted equal contrast between shades, but I didn’t think it would be effected by the number of them.

So even if I want to keep the current number of shades, I’d have to make them MUCH more contrasting.

Oh, and I’lll lower the saturation too.

well… how are you guys, long time… hey whats new???

random thread to post it in… but im doing good.

yeah, sorry, its just that i havent visited this site for ages, lol
so, whats being improved lately???

Godamnit that’s the most ridiculous spam I’ve ever seen, if you both didn’t notice this is a thread about Red Halberd’s sprites, not a welcome back thread.

Well…thanks for posting in my thread…I thought I had some good comments to come look at.

Sloth already laid down the hammer, so I’ll just say that mabye you could have commented my new shwag, and everyone elses, so you could see for yourself what’s new.

You hadn’t posted anything new since his last comments. =p

Yeah, but that wouldnt necessarily mean someone hadn’t come to add a little soemthing, sicne so few have commented on it in the first place.

spam??? what the hell are you talking about???
and yes, i already know the Red Halberd’s sprites section, im not stupid,
so calm your nipples ok…

Please, allow me to kill this arguement right now. It’s over. You’re stealing the light from my sprites, and that ain’t right.

So post something new! :astonished:

You deleted the sprite sheets that you made?! Noooooooooooooooo! :frowning:

Beleive me, you don’t want to see them.

But if you really do want to see them.

My first sprite sheets. I’m pretty sure I made them in this order.

Ignore the broken image tags.

Anyway, I’m working on something right now, though I can’t say when it’ll be done.

I just dont have motivation to sprite anything. MP3 will hopefuly change that.

I think your MPH sprites look ok, but I don’t really like the Noxus one. The Trooper sprikes look descent but the gun grows when he aims it at a diagnole.

They’re not so bad I like the weabel(can’t spell name right) one the best. :astonished: Why did you delete them?

They’ve been updated.

Check on TSR, and you can see the updated versions of Sylux, Kanden, and Weavel. I gave up on Remaking the rest of them, and somebody already made a better version of the GF troopers.
