I drew a RPG character. My very first.

In order for me to make a screenshot, I have to find and download VGSCAP, which only works half the time. In other words, it would take me 15 minutes just to make one lousy screenie.

No. Not even 16. Just less colours, and in a row. This sprite only has 18 colours: note how you don't need more.



Why "less" colours:

1.- you don't need such blurness: you can't notice it in such a small sprite. Note how the shades are too similar and undistinguishable looking at the sprite.
2.- Better to have all the colours your sprite uses in a row, so it is easier to alter them in the program.

Anyhow, I would suggest you to start with a front, standing view of your Sprite. It helps on defining the proportions, and working other views from a front view is easier than working a front view from a side view.

Holy Crap What are you tring to do to me

Why, thank you Z!re.
See my dilemma, though? It looks awful. Looks like a skunk.

Not a bad start, looks more convincing than the blurry mess that was the first one.

Don't limit yourself to the first sixteen colors, but DO be careful with color usage in general. The hair is better this time, but try a less extreme range of grays.

Zack,

I think the first one looked pretty good. Na_th_an wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't use the colors you did, just that you limit the number of colors you use on any one sprite.

When he wrote about using 16 colors in a row, I believe he meant something like use row 5 for the custom colors for CharacterA, and row 6 for CharacterB and so forth. You have a total of 256 color, but each character has its own palette of 16 colors. if you change the colors for CharacterA, it doesn't change CharacterB.

1. Na_th_an has been drawing for many years...and it shows.

2. Na_th_an is a lovely pervert. :lol:

Standard palette, again. I used only 10 colors or so.
Not exactly RPG-size, but it's a person...
