CloseHey, I'm having a little difficulty spriting.
I've read a bunch of tutorials, and all they've really taught me is how to create a sprite. So, I have a base, but now I need to 'decorate' it, for lack of a better term. But no matter how hard I try, for the life of me I can't make clothes or hair look decent.
Is there a secret? Am I just totally clueless?
If it helps, I'm building MACK-styled sprites, and I'm going for more of a modern look.
I'd post a picture, but I just rage quit and deleted my progress :/ I'll make another attempt in the morning and share my end result.

You mean shading the sprites? Or are you having trouble getting the outfit itself to have more natural proportions?
If you've read tutorials, all that's left is just practice. Sprites are going to suck at first. Hell, I must've resprited my own characters at least three times before settling on a look. Even then, it's never going to be EXACTLY the way I wanted it.
If it helps, I learned by first taking RTP sprites and modifying them. By doing this, I got a feel of body proportions and how much space to allocate for shirts, pants, feet, etc. Try that and see how it works.

Check out the M.O.G. Graphics event. It's got all sorts of tutorials to help you on your way.
... I probably should have mentioned that in my initial post. BansheeSerenade, check that out as well. I know it'll help you out.

Observe and seek for references wherever you have any doubt. That's the way of the pencil, the brush and the engraving. And it's the way of the pixel too.
