SHADDOW'S PROFILE

C1, okay I think I can come up with something.

Thanks, I think I will, any particular square I should take?

I would have to say my favorite enemy or at least one of them is The Metal Mantis, from Soul Blazer.



He was the first boss and as such he hit you hard, but that wasn't the best part, the trickiest part, was that he was hiding on the other side of three conveyer belts, and you had to run up them, avoid his attacks and manage to hit him at the same time, it was very tricky.

At least, until you remembered that you could crab walk and hold your sword out. This would allow you to do constant damage to any enemies as long as you were holding it out, only one point per second, which was not great later on, but for an enemy like this, it was ideal.

Thinking about the A-Team and kind of want to watch it again. The old tv show, not the movie remake. I'm working on a Mr T sprite for someone and now I'm itching to see him kick some rear!

Also; Mr T as Santa Clause XD

I've only recently started spriting, but I found that the best practice I had, was to make a whole sprite to the best of my ability, all the poses. Then I would go back and adjust things as I needed too.

I was surprised when I could suddenly see things to change that normally I would have had to look at a reference for. So I would recommend just practicing, and looking at references until you are comfortable.

I doubt there will ever be a day when someone gets a sprite 'just right' on the first go, but who knows. Also I found that looking at shading tutorials and stuff, on youtube among other places was a great help, if you'd like I can link a few I used.
