Sketchy Cornwall UK Registered 06/11/2004 Points 1971	18th August, 2008 at 23:12:25 - Thanks, I spent quite a while on them. It's actually a gameplay requirement that they all be basically circular, in case anyone's wondering. OldManClayton; they're all created from scratch, using PaintShop Pro 8. n/a
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	19th August, 2008 at 00:46:46 - I wish I could do that. Do you draw them by pixel and then do some fancy shading and blending and such/whatnot?
Sketchy Cornwall UK Registered 06/11/2004 Points 1971	19th August, 2008 at 01:54:05 - If I wasn't using a solid background I wouldn't be doing it this way because of the antialiased edges to the sprites. However, when you are using a solid background I find it usually looks better to rotate sprites in PSP rather than MMF - whilst 360 angles would be nice, MMFs sprite rotation sucks (no antialiasing). Plus this way, you can give your sprites a fixed light source. Anyway, I start with a reasonably detailed sprite like this; I've actually cut and pasted parts from ships I made a while back for this sprite. I then rotate and resize - I know it's not real pixel art anymore but if it looks ok who cares? I then use PSPs lighting effects (it's not proper 3d shading but I'm lazy), and finally I'll use curves to adjust the colours how I like them. n/a
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	19th August, 2008 at 04:38:05 - Hmm, yes I like to resize and rotate to make sprites look shiny too. I need to try PSP...

Sketchy describes the technique there. Eternal Entertainment's Code'n'Art Man E_E = All Indie ...actually Ell Endie, but whatever.
