sprite editing

[sleepysigil]

Finished these Reimu sprites, I would have liked to include her warding staff, but the sprite was getting kinda busy and I didn't want to lose any more visual clarity.

Kinda funny, I never would have made these if I didn't need a class- promotion for the miko sprites I made.

What are some of you're favourite Sprite edits you've made Whether that be this year, or any over years you've been in the sprite editing business

Ok so I've made A LOT of edits over the years so it took a lil while for me to sort out the favorites and why exactly, but here it is so get ready for some rambling!

First things first i gotta say this isn't really organized from the one i like the most and least, i like all of these edits a whole lot and i really don't think i can pick one or two to be the favorite.

So let's start from the start (sorta) i have to give a spot to my Fantasy Au twins edits, it would be illegal to not put them in this list

The Sdra2 Fantasy Au was one of the first things i made in the fandom and i was attached to it for a long while. These are actually the 4th version of their sprites, out of all them only the 3rd had a full gallery of sprites and trust me they were complex since on top of posting i even made different tails and ears to move around depending on the emotion of the sprite.

Even tho i never finished this 4th take on them I'm pretty happy with the redesign (since as i grew older i realized some of my choices were questionable and i really should have thought more before just going with it, just keep in mind i was a dumb 14-15 year old then) and the improvement on graphical quality because not only does it show how much i improved in editing but also because editing the fantasy twins were my first really hard edits and i was always happy with how well i was able to translate their weird little designs to sprite form.

The Fantasy Au as a whole had a lot of edits with a bunch of complicated details that i never finshed and although I don't like them as much as the twins i do feel like they deserve to be shown somehere so have this pile of lizards, undead firemen and two human girls.

(fun fact; i didn't know how to add textures back then so see those scales on the dragons? I made them all by hand-)

Next one on the list has gotta be the Nijiue siblings! Crazy to think these guys are only 2-3 years old like it feels like they've been with me for ao much longer!

These guys where my first try at making Oc sprites since before all i did were Au stuff and they're very very dear to me, as you can probably guess by the amount of spites an different iterations i made of them over the years. While there are a few things i could improve upon them if i were to remake their edits nowadays, i never felt a strong need to do so because as it is their sprites hold up well imo so remaking them feels unnecessary to me.

And you know I can't really talk about them without mentioning the Voidswap Au and a couple tumblr blogs owned by friends of mine. After Voidswap's cancelation i didn't thought I'd ever use these guys for anything so to think that nowadays there's so many people who not only know these characters but care for them a lot out of seeing them in Asoot and Dfta more recently really fills me with joy! I'm glad y'all enjoy my silly siblings so much and obviously huge thanks to the mods for wanting to include them in their stories, I really couldn't be more thankful for that!

And since we're talking about the fam, let me add Mako to the list as an honorable mention of sorts, a i'm still very happy with how i made her adult designs especially the whole closed trenchcoat and open trenchcoat thing she has going on and how i was able to cary out the heart motif on both of them :]

This next one is one of my newer edits + a pretty simple one which is this Irl Sora design i made for mod Bubbles around early this year.

Honestly, I don't even know how to explain why i like it this much? Maybe it's because Sora is one of the characters from Sdra2 i still decently enjoy or because i had a fun time coming up with her design. I had in mind that i wanted something plain and simple just like her in-game one, just adapted to a more adult look. Rolled up sleeves to resemble her uniform's ones and a scarf to bring back the spark of red her old design had, i also gave her the short hair that post game Yuki has because it's still her body at the end of the day + i think butch-ish Sora looks pretty good :]

From simplicity we jump back into weirdness with these last ones because obviously i wouldn't leave my girls out of this list, what did you guys even expect?

Favoritism? Absolutely, by now I'm sure all of you know how much i like these two but focusing on the graphical side for once, I'm super proud of their designs, i think they fit with the weirdness of some of Linuj's design choices pretty well which in turn makes them look kinda legit? In my head at least. I also had a lot of fun working on their sprites, especially Beni's since it had been a long while since i last tried to really exaggerate expressions on sprites of my characters so that was really fun! + I'm super proud of the baby sprites i made of them too, almost as much as i like their standard/adult designs really.

I made a brief video explaining how I extract sprites using GIMP because I ran into a lot of problems trying to learn how to remove a background. I would like to share this information, so that's it is out there for the public.

soo, i took the vessel creation sprites and used them to design the six fallen humans. 

i’m not the first to try giving those humans designs but i thought it’d be fun.

the bottom row is the fallen humans without the items they were said to have been wearing in game. The bow, skirt and apron were available sprites. 

if anyone has any suggestions on how they could be designed i’d love to hear them. I wanted to use inverted colours for them, like Chara is with Frisk but i didn’t have a base for that so they’re mostly coloured in opposites to their soul colour. I switched it up based on what i thought looked best.

Tokens for three of my HoL characters! Since I'm not a particularly good artist yet, I've been using Fire Emblem sprites as a base for them!

Made a little custom animation as I try to learn how edit sprites.

The original sheet looks like this (sorry for weird compression on it)

And they just animate in game with a fade in effect. I like these li’l guys so trying to edit them to do more than that seemed like a good first learning project.

This is the sheet I ended up making, and the gif at the start is the finished product.

Honk shoo

Spriters Resource is a great, er, resource but its really frustrating when a sprite sheet has a solid colored background instead of a transparent one. Its not that hard to get rid of, admittedly, but its still a bit tedious. Especially when the auto select misses some pixels.

finally finished making my humanstuck sprites.

i tried to keep them pretty close to normal homestuck sprite standards.

these are all just their default, homestuck human outfits. i might make secondary sprites sometime. i also included alternate hairstyles for some (two) of them, since i've drawn them with different hair in the past.

Did more sprite editing and… ended up slipping dave in here. Couldn’t help myself

[drewdle-doodle]

Awakened cookie run costumes!!!

Beginning with gcs based on her ever golden goddess costume alongside a edit based on the idea of golden cheese taking aspects of burning spice

Then a bit older ones from when cacao first released

Mystic flour themed outfit, peach blossom themed outfit, then slayer of the twin dragons themed design!

[sorrowfulwill]

don’t move I have to measure how big your pixels are so I can customize your sprites

mettaton: what the fuck
