Forums · Spriting Guide: Development
Okay, so some members and I (not Gameboy) are starting a spriting guide, and we need to discuss the guide in the easiest manner possible, a topic.
First thing we need to do is throw out ideas. Now the first things posted are probably going to be "how to recolor" and "how to place parts", but we need detail. I'll throw in a few things and edit this topic to put in yours. Just throw out some ideas right now.
Intro
Recoloring:
-shades of color
-outlines
-revamp/devamp
Part placement:
-
Different Positions:
-
Misc. :
-Transparent backgrounds
Yeah, I need more sections too. If you guys are really experienced with making custom sprites from scratch we'll put in a section for that.

We need a section for revamps and devamps. A short intro would be nice, too. Unfortunately, I really can't do customs very well, maybe we have a good customer somewhere, just lurking. I could write the revamp + devamp part, unless you think I'm jumping too far ahead.
I can link to a 'Spriting Kit' I downloaded last night. I was linked to it by the guy that made it from a topic on GameFAQs, some of you may have seen it. Anyway, it's pretty useful, it has all of the sprites (not including different Deoxys, Wormadam etc.) and a folder filled with the defining pieces of some Pokemon, I'll try and find that link again.

| What about pixel-overs? I've never done one but I'm sure someone here has... |
I've done one, but it never saw the light of day. I do know how to do one, though.
Oh, and a general note, it might help the reader if you include visual aids, think we should do that?

That's exactly what I was thinking.
lol we could have "how to do it" and "how not to do it" so we CAN have gameboy help us in the guide

Sure. If any of you remember Eso's Metagross drawing, you should be able to figure out that this is the (failed) sprite rendition of it. The proportions went waaay off.
