• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Yeah, takes practice, it's good for a first time. I made a little guide for outlining.
    There's first drawing your outline:

    but it looks really crappy, so let's remove all of the excess pixels that are on it.

    It looks cleaner now, but the shape is a little odd, so the final step is editing the lines a bit to add or subtract curve.

    Now, it may be helpful to know how to play with the lines, so it can be done like so:
    1.[img] The straight line.
    2.[img] Now we add to one side, but now we have to remove the old.
    3.[img] After removing the old parts of the line, we're left with a slightly more curved line.

    Give the stuff a shot if you have free time.

    I stay on till very late, dear. You're only 9, you should be asleep at this hour.
    Also it's generally recommended that you edit rather than double-posting.

    Well a banner isn't necessary for advertising. Take mine for example. It's just there for decoration.
    Zora of Termina
    Oh. Well hello there.

    Juuust a bit too advertise-y, dear. If you want to be noticed, you have to let them come themselves. Maybe put a link in your signature.
    I must hand it to you though, you're much better at it than a lot of people I know.

    The event Celebi is still going on at GameStop, and I'm assuming the DSi (or DS) can be configured for WPA, if I remember correctly.

    So... You planning on getting Black or White? I' getting White on release day (which will most likely be riddled with glitches. I'm looking forward to that if at all not for personal benefit, but to further understand how the game works. Oh, and for personal benefit.) If you have a WiFi connection, I can battle you. No voice chat, though. :/

    And I can trade you an event Suicune. I've got 4 of em, along with four of those event Celebi (soon to be three of each).

    I could probably do something easy like Voltorb or Magnemite, easy shape and gives you practice shading from scratch.

    You're a great spriter. I had some talent, but it's been months since I've sprited...
    Zoltea
    Ah, I did a few pixel overs. The pixel-overs that are double the size of normal sprites tend to actually look really cool. Mind if I give you a scratch sprite challenge as the "bonus round"?
    Zoltea
    I used to only do recolors, revamps, and splices, but then once I started drawing I decided to get into scratch sprites. Quite interesting working on such a small scale where 1 pixel can change everything.
    Zoltea
    You're a good artist then, I don't know of any good artist that doesn't think their artwork is complete crap. Thinking your art as is sucks motivates you to improve. Anyways the way you did the sprite has somewhat of a creative aspect to it for sure. Please stand by for challenge #3.
