| Okay. I'm gonna post all the sprite pictures I've made so far.
Here are the REALLY old ones.
- Spoiler:
Gizmo and his two best friends: Mike and Lina. Mike is the orange cat to the left, (I almost forgot his hat! ) And Lina the girl on the right. I think this came out pretty well. Edit: Resized The picture is of Kyle looking at the stars, I'm thinking this is back when he was saved by Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, and when he first starts his journey to recover the lost Gems of the Gemblade. It took me a long time to get that sword right on his back. It still doesn't look right to me. Apparently I just beat the game as Violet. XD Violet Back when she was a recolor. About last night I think it was, I started to edit her to make her look a bit more like her recent looks. Here's what she looks like NOW: ...Stinger's onto them. >_> ..Ever wondered what would happen if he got a flat? I think I kinda messed up on Keela, and I still don't have a different outfit for her... Speedy The Hedgehog. I think I did a good job on the vest. Speedy liked it. Here's an older sprite pic that I'm fixing up. I just finished Speedy's Vest, but now I have to deal with Violet. And here's another one that is finished. The person Speedy's up against is an old character that was most likely forgotten about. A shadowy clone of him. I'm planning on having him and a few other shadowy clones make a comeback. This one I just put up for the heck of it. Been itching to fight this guy again. XD
And here are some more old ones, but a little more recent than the above ones.
- Spoiler:
Okay, I'm gonna post my more recent sprite-work now.
A day at the beach. Listen to this song while looking at this picture.
It's night time, and things have settled down. Speedy and Violet appear to be on a date, while Thunder's ship sails on the horizon. Once again, Listen to this song while looking at this picture.
A quick pic of Splice and Cymbeline. Made for this video.
A sprite pic based off of the game Splice The Hedgehog. Once again made for a video. I also love how Speedy came out in this one.
A W.I.P. pic of some of my characters in front of Splice's house. I planned to use this as a background somewhere else.
Poor Splice has taken a beating. D: Also, This is the first completed HD Sprite aside from the previews that I never showed on here! Yay!
This didn't really happen in any RP or story, but there's still a bit of a history behind this. Splice, one of my main characters, is kinda suffering from a physical inferiority complex type of thing. See, in my mainstream RP's, (which haven't really been flowing, lately.) Splice was a good, reliable character in battle with no real flaws. Most of the enemies he fought, really didn't have any kind of powers of any sorts. Some did, but he still fought and won/came close to winning. Even in his game, Splice is a good fighter character, and someone you can rely on. Not nearly as powerful as Smash or Kyle, but he's still got it where it counts.
So what's up with this pic, then? Well, Ever since I've brought him into RP's on SFW (Sonic Fanon Wikia), Splice's competence level within battle dropped dramatically. I didn't change anything about him, it's just that now he's facing stronger enemies, and he is always outmatched. His attacks barely even do scratch damage half the time, and more often than not it's a battle for survival rather than aiming to win. The only time he fought someone remotely powerful and won was in an RP that ended up being discontinuity to the series. It's kind of sad...But through it all, Splice won't give in. As long as he has a reason to keep going, He won't stray from that path.
Gah, this took me forever to make. And I'm not even sure if I'm really satisfied with the way it came out. GOD I suck at hands. -_-'' It didn't come out entirely how I originally pictured it, but this was the best I could do. Making a small sprite comic purely out of HD sprites is hard, man. But I think the hardest part of it all was figuring out what I was going to do with the lack of a fitting background, so I just edited that spotlight to fill in. Meh, I feel like I was kinda lazy with it, but this is all I could really whip up. It also took me forever to think up Smash's line, much unlike the other 3's lines, which only took like 2 seconds.
So ANYWAY, This is the sequel to my last pic up there. Basically, I didn't want it to just seem like a downer pic, seeing Splice beat up, but determined to fight to the death (which it seemed like it would probably lead up to.) so I had his friends remind him that he isn't alone on the battlefield. I also wanted one pic, at least one pic, to show the bond between my characters. (Except Speedy isn't mine, but he's still a very important character and of course is part of that bond.) Why I chose those four? I think that they're probably the closest friends to Splice. I would have added more but it would have taken up too much room. (I was already grasping for room with the multiple text as it is.) The main thing I like, though, is how Cymbeline's expression came out in the last panel.
You can take a look at the panel with the gang there alone right here.
- Spoiler:
I SERIOUSLY suck at hands.
I haven't been spriting much at all, lately. So I just uploaded this as some sort of filler for...whatever. Anyway, I went and messed around with Ice Mountain's tileset and whipped up a little area, went and made a sprite of Splice to put here, and added a background and snow. (not necessarily in that order, but yeah.)
As I was making a new sprite of him, I decided to fix up a few errors that have been appearing here and there with his sprites, lately. For one thing, his red parts aren't as discolored as they were before. (The shading was kinda off in a lot of his sprites, his mid red color was more orangish than red. Though you guys probably don't care about that, it's been bothering me.) His quills are longer and slant more, (finally.) And last but not least, he is wearing that scarf from his dollmaker pic that I neglected so much. I don't plan to have him wear it all the time, but just in the winter. (which is getting quite close, actually.)
Why I chose to make this pic, I don't really know. I just did.
t was inevitable. This was bound to come up sooner or later, once I got his motorcycle design down.
I don't have many sprite pictures of Smash by himself, so I think he deserved this pic.
This pic could have been a thousand times better, but 1: It took me ages to find a matching ground and backdrop for him to ride across. 2: I could have animated it, but after taking so long to get it together, I didn't feel up to it. and 3: Right when I was saving the pic, I realized that I could have made it an HD sprite pic, but I was already done.
Oh well, next time. In fact I think I'm gonna work on his motorcycle sprites right now and get some rotations for em, as well as some HD sprites too.
A project I begun at the beginning of November. I was horribly delayed. So much that I even forgot about it. Picking up where I left off suddenly, I did the best I could to finish it up before the month ended.
There's some meaning behind this picture. I started on November 2nd, this was supposed to be a pic I wanted to make in celebration of my father's birthday. Since I've been working on a fanfic about my main character's father, I decided to base the pic on that. I felt it was fitting seeing how both fathers have passed away. Originally I wanted to have a transparent image of his father off on the horizon, but I only have one picture of him and it wouldn't fit the occasion. So I left it blank. Now, they're just standing on a chilly night, paying their respects and remembering the times they had together in his life.
I also had a LOT of trouble choosing the background. And the close-up of Smash and Pearl? I had to edit Pearl's sprite from two different sources than usual. I had to use Amy as a base this time for her front sprite, and for her back sprite, would you believe me if I said that I edited her from Smash? Overall this pic could have been better, but with all the trouble I went through, I'm just gonna leave it as is for now. Though I can easily go back and do it over, if I find a better background or something.
Also, this is the first appearance of Crash and Diamond outside of a cast pic. (More so Diamond, Crash MIGHT have slithered his way into another pic that I don't remember.) I'm liking how their hair turned out. Crash's spiky hair fits him, really. And Diamond's hair really brings out the color I originally imagined. Though she was originally supposed to have pig-tails in this pic, I couldn't get it to look right from the back so I just let it out.
This is a pic that I didn't upload to Deviant Art. Probably because it's so small, I just used it to show off the new sprite of Sandy. Anyway, for those of you who don't know, Sandy is Pearl's adoptive daughter. She came early in my series, but since she technically belonged to Alestar, I never used her outside of our private roleplays (which came once in a blue moon.) In fact, aside from her debut, she only made about 2-3 appearances within the entire series. I plan to fix that when I get to the series re-write, however. Sandy's currently 5 years old. She's a really cute kid.
Yeah so I've got quite a few sprites I haven't uploaded sitting around in my editing sheets. Problem is I don't really have a sprite pic for them yet. (My cast pic will most likely use new sprites) So this is all I could really do with em right now. Which is not much.
So basically, in the upper left corner, we've got Gizmo and his parents: Terrence and Anna. I've been thinking of a last name for the family, but I haven't come up with anything yet.
Next, there's Mike and Diana. They both got their shine in the RP named "Moonlight Visitor". Mike was originally just a side character, but boy, that sure changed. His design has been upgraded just for that. Lina also got an update, but I haven't sprited it yet. Now the problem with Mike here is that I forgot to save his sprite before I put it in the banner, and I had to go and rip the sprite from the pic. Crazy, huh? Ripping sprites from my own dang picture. XD
Next, from the aforementioned banner, is DJ Daz The Hedgehog. DJ is just a nickname, 'cause my pal makes remixed songs. I see no reason why his character can't inherit those musical traits. Oddly enough, we both always imagined him to be a drummer. I guess DJ stands for Drummer Job or something. XD
Continuing from the left of the next "row", we've got Smash, Sarah and David. The three are standing there for height comparison and the like, (I guess) And right after them is a sprite of David and Sarah standing together. (For those of you who don't know, David and Sarah are Smash's (now deceased) parents. Go read MoDTE!)
Next we've got Pearl and Sandy. You saw that above, but this was posted on Deviant Art, and it's got two extra sprites. :V
Just above Sandy, is Splice and Clara. Clara isn't very widely known outside of SpTH. She was Splice's caretaker for the majority of his life.
And then there's Viola and Violet. (who just happens to be a child here) If it wasn't really obvious to you, Viola is Violet's mother. She has the color scheme that was originally supposed to be used for Violet herself. Just a bit of a reference to the past, there. I made these sprites a long time ago, actually. The only other place those sprites appeared are in SpTH, where you can see it as a framed picture in Violet's house.
And last but not least, there's Smash next to his motorcycle. Yeah.
- Spoiler:
Wrapped in spoiler because of it's size.
WOOT! PARTY!!
XD Okay seriously, this took me all day to complete. (And most of the previous one, too.) And y'know what? I'm probably gonna add even more to it later. So it's possibly still a WIP. This was supposed to be my picture to celebrate the Premium Membership Day on Deviant Art, but I couldn't finish in time.
Now, there's much to be said about this pic. For starters, this whole pic exists mainly because of Daz in the center. After I made that sprite of him, I was inspired to make other characters playing instruments, as well. The characters chosen, however, weren't just randomly picked. I often used to imagine my characters in a concert, much like this. (Except, I dunno, less colorful? I honestly didn't expect to use Music Plant, but I thought it'd be hilariously fitting.) That's actually where I got the idea of Violet being a Pianist. (I think, at least. It might have come before that but I don't remember.) Speedy was the guitarist, and Daz was the drummer. Splice really fits as a guitarist as well, but Speedy had already taken that role. But hey, who says there can only be one? Now Speedy has a buddy to rock out with! XD Speaking of which, it was my brothers idea for Speedy to be the guitarist, (mainly from inside jokes that nobody but us would get.) And finally, Pearl and Clara were the singers. I'm sure you wouldn't have expected it, but Clara really actually loves to sing. Pearl's just doing it for the occasion, but Clara on the other hand, jumped at the opportunity. Before she took the job she has now, she actually wanted to be a singer. This is the only time she's sang out in the public.
Oh yeah. Gizmo and Kitty were the only ones who were randomly chosen. (well, not so much Kitty, since he had to come if Gizmo was there. And because Maracas. XD )
Everyone else is just partying. James and Jessie couldn't help but break out into a dance over there, while Crystal and Smash are cheering. Thunder and his brothers are on the other side, and Lightning is taking the word "Party" to the heart. Still not satisfied with Thunder's hat, but I noticed it makes him seem a lot more casual.
Just a friendly little chat between Smash and his wife, Luna. It looks like he's sheepishly trying to explain something rather amusing to her.
This pic is mainly here to show Luna's new design, which I just finished spriting. Looks like my characters aren't the only ones getting some work. Personally, I really like how Luna's outfit came out.
- Spoiler:
Wrapped in spoiler because of it's size. My first sprite comic in ages. I think I may be getting better with the backgrounds and stuff. I'm just hoping the whole montage of different scenes aren't too non-sequitur to understand.
Anyway, The purpose of this comic is that, as the semi-final panel says, the Blitz Pit World Tournament is very soon. But the main reason I made this was the fact that Smash's birthday was today (or Yesterday, seeing how it's nearly 4:00 AM. Pulled a near all-nighter on this project.) I haven't done anything for Smash's birthday in, well, years. Figured I should try to do something now. So I decided to show how he trains. Three guesses to which music I was listening to while preparing this pic. He's now 23 years old. He's come a long, long way. He's as determined as ever to win the tournament this year. And he has the power to do it, this time. But can he?
I really like how the panel with him going "High Tension" came out. I kinda screwed up the transparency on one of the sandbags, so it looks like it's partially under him when it should be in front of him. Making this pic actually gave me a little push in the right direction for finishing up his sprite sheet. No, it's nowhere near done. But I made a couple of sprites that I'd been procrastinating on.
The shadows in the pics of him doing push-ups were done in MS-Paint, while all the others were edited in GIMP. I'd only gotten the idea of doing the latter after I did those first two. It's easy to tell the difference. ^^;

| I'm working on a really big sprite picture. It shows ALL of my fancharacters that I could put in. Excluding only my bird FC's, since I haven't even gotten down pat how exactly they'll look, Peppermint the Chao, whom I'm reformatting and probably won't even be a chao anymore, and Diamond and Rose the Echidna's, Smash's cousin and his grandmother. All of them excluded. So far, I've successfully gotten:
Smash The Echidna Frost Kyle The Hedgehog (Main three fancharacters above in italic) Violet The Hedgehog Pearl The Echidna Crash The Echidna Splice The Hedgehog Thunder The Hedgehog Lightning The Hedgehog Electric The Hedgehog Zap The Hedgehog Crystal The Fox Cutter The Echidna Darkyle The Hedgehog (He's leaving, by the way.) Gizmo The Cat Micheal The Cat Catlina The Cat Kitty The Cat Chao Krysi The Chao ____ The Cat Chao (She doesn't have a name yet. She is Kitty and Krysi's baby.) Keela The Hedgehog
Its a big picture. The ones left are:
Jessie The Fox Light The Hyper Hero Chao
And all the rest of my kirby characters. | |
