Blast.EXE's sprites

It was part of the original Concept art of Aqua Soul.

Its good, though the colors are little too bright and the shading needs work. Also try to add a little water/liquid effect(bubbles) in the head, wrist, and calf.

It's still kinda messy looking, but not bad.

And for those who don't know, he's copying the concept art from EXE 4.

and as was said. We're not picking on you just because we feel like it. Everything everyone is saying is 100% true.

And trying to justify your crap by whining about the rules and saying that other forums say it's good is a cop out.

Next time, try actually looking at the other threads that have a lot of hits, such as Dyne's, Pitch's, and Tree's. They're not near the level of Core or Sketch, but they don't post junk like this and don't get mad when people are honest and say they don't like it.

Oy. Blast.

You have every right to post things on the internet and to be proud of them, no matter how absurdy stupid they are. But as soon as whatever you've made touches public space, people who visit that public space have the right to comment, criticize, laugh at, and/or flame whatever it is. If you don't like our responses to your work, and don't feel like improving it, then post it elsewhere. We don't really give a damn.

Bottom line, or "point", as you wanted it. :P Put some effort into your work or we simply aren't going to care. You can go find compliments elsewhere.

I agree that people should be able to post what they feel but I think we should exercise some rules. Otherwise this right would be horribly abused. Everything would look the same.

The thing is there are people in this forum who want spriters to improve, and they will help you when they feel they can contribute. Naturally some people get impatient because of other spriters who do cheap remakes. Now that's not right, but you have understand there are those who make really cheap sprites and then post it, wasting bandwidth, and expect to be endlessly praised for it. It doesn't work like that here. We're going to be brutally honest with you so that you improve, like spriters' boot camp.

Ok, the aqua soul. It's good. All that needs work is the color and the minor details. This'll take time, but it looks like it will be worth it. Just work on it and it'll look even better.

That doesn't matter! Just make what you feel like! Someone will find it interesting! As long as it's a sprite, make it!

Don't swear in the name of Hell. :P Someone down there may actually decide to grant your wish, to your eventual chagrin.

Like blazequest said, make something with effort. Whatever you like. If you're willing to accept criticism, we might even be able to help you improve. :P

If I may,Your shading could use some work, lines could be smoother, and maybe just make the soul in a different position.Other than that,not bad.

The problem is not all souls are symmetrical and I only have one side of the pic so I'll get it wrong but I need an idea.

Its Yuna Boktai style mostly custom.

A Yuna sprite that I didn't notice?

XD well yeah I saw that on other forums, so you already know what I think. Her pigtails should be more higher. It looks like she let her hair down the way you have it. Also her hair shouldn't really have a hair-like texture; in the games it's a little flat thing, in other artwork it's more hair shaped, but still solid. *nod* Her boots should probably be a little bigger too. And her skin a little darker.

Even so it looks pretty awesome. Nice job! :D

Boktai-styled characters have near-invisible limbs. The boots/legs are supposed to be really thin, Pitch.

Its more difficult than that since Boktai style limbs are 2 pixels wide if they were 3 I would do so I'm fixing her hair and skin it'll be up in 5 minutes.

Three hours later:

Ummm.... so how's it coming? Laughing

If the legs are only two pixels wide, I recommend you try using your darkest and second darkest shade of gray-ish black.

Sprite, here you can see Django's legs, two pixel wide but yeah, they're dark so you can see them fairly well. Don't know if you have the programs to do it, but what I often do when outlining is take the Pencil tool, 50% transparency pure black, then draw the outline.

Hey, if it looks similar, it looks similar. sue me.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway,

Yuna's pigtails go down further than that. They go down to about her butt(I know, weird way to remember it, but they do).

The pigtails look good now, but the blue things on her head should be more toward the top. That and her skin still needs to be darker. You know how to recolor things in Paint, right? If so her skin should take you 0.2 seconds to fix.

Oh yeah, and it's not a big deal, but she's supposed to have that little blue wristband thing on her right(your left) arm.

Here's a reference pic

Other than that it looks awesome. Good job! :D

Animation made from total boredom I made all the sprites myself so this one can't be breaking a single rule.
