CALLING ALL SPRITERS

[rvl1234]

I need someone to create a Few RTP/ Side View Battlers for a game i'm making... I'm not very good with pixel work, and the characters are free to use by anyone. The animated side- view battlers would help me best if they were done in the 11- pose format...
Whoever does this will have their name credited in the game. Which is called Heroes of the Higher Realms
Here's my first character:

Once the two began to see the strange behavior of the king and his other subjects, they fled to the outer reaches of the kingdom of Azreale. Asra grew up in a small town of rosewood as a normal farm boy. Though his father had long since disappeared. Asra's life was changed forever when a strange race of creatures attacked his hometown killing everyone, including his mother. His life however was spared thanks to the aid of a strange elder man called Machvienta Melchizdek. Who for some reason called him "Michael". Upon the fleeing of Asra's hometown Machvienta gave Asra the sword that he had used to save his life earlier. He stated that the weapon was called "Chernobyl, the Celestiaweild" and that it was Asra's destiny to wield it. He then left Asra, all alone to fend for himself...

Wong escaped and having nowhere to go hid on the nearest ship. It just so happened that Siu had found hung and took him in as he would his own son.

Umm... i drew Adasia and Wong quick to give you guys something to work off of... (i'm a terrible artist ;) I really appreciate the help on this guys... and like i said, the finished work will be free for everyone to use in their own games . Credit will be given to the amazing artists who lend a hand.

I'd love to help! I specialize in Manga and Anime style! BUT! My scanner isn't working, and you're gonna have to colour them yourself. Let me just ask my dad to fix it and I'll help !

[rvl1234]

Sweet! thanks alot! I can definitely color... but the part where you get them to work as animated battlers confuse me... anyway, pm me with what you need and i'll provide it asap!

[Demonic Blade]

I'll try, and by the way, I need a new printer entirely, so it's gonna be some time before I will be able to upload 'em, but I'll spend my time drawing

[Demonic Blade]

Sorry, can't help! I kinda skimmed through the text, and I thought you were looking for an artist/drawer AND a spriter, judging by the last few lines. I'd be happy to draw the characters (faces, illustations etc.), but you're most likely gonna be dissapointed with battlers and sprites. Though I could give it a try...

[rvl1234]

hehe well if you can do the illustrations that's fine too. i can try and do the animated battle sprites myself... but i have a really hard time . for example, i'll show you what i tried to do with a hayato spritesheet i found i was gonna set it up minkoff 11 pose style but with 7 frames so the animation looks smoother.. but it wont work right. i was gonna (once i had it working decently) draw my main character over hayato as a battler because the style i envision him using is exactly like hayato's...but i've run into a snag. If you can set it up so it works as an animated battler...(even if it's 4 frames) i can send you spritesheets of characters that resemble my character's fighting styles and you can set them up as animated battlers, send them back and i can draw over them... it's only the animating part that scares me... here's the hayato spritesheet i was working on... see what you can do plz

[spoiler]hayato spritesheet[/spoiler]

[Demonic Blade]

Nice, I'd love to give it a try (AND! My printer's working, now I just need to get the scanning to work properly )! But uh... which side-view battler script are you using...? The one by Minkoff? And/or do the battlers need to follow Dollmages "templates"?

[rvl1234]

Yeah, i'm working with minkoff. the battlers dont have to follow dollmage's template... i give you full creativity on that.. you can do dollmages though, cuz that one would be easy i guess. If you can get that spritesheet working decent we can do it like that. you can assemble spritesheets and i can draw over them with my own characters

[Demonic Blade]

I got a bunch of animated battlers already (by Dollmage), and it would be great fun to try out some stuff with those!

EDIT: I just drew a bit of a quick sketch (not clean, not excactly meant for you to see/use), and I scanned it to show you some of what I do. I attached it...
And sorry about the bad quality, I was using a red pen, and you know how scanners are and colours (or maybe not, I don't really care) I was gonna draw legs too etc, when it hit me about you might like to see it . I'm gonna start on the battlers asap.

EDIT: Okay, I'm working on the battlers. I've started with Demetrius. Take a look at the first of the sprites. Is the coat too light? Do I need to change the swords? I know about the hair and skin and eyes etc, but the coat was the first part (and I'm doing it in paint...)

EDIT #2: Okay, I'm done with the first guy on the sheet, I think. Anything you want to change when it comes to shading/brightness etc.?

[rvl1234]

It's looking great so far! and the asra sketch looks good too. i'll get started on drawing more of the characters so you can have an idea of what they look like thanks alot man.. pixels scare me to shit

[Demonic Blade]

Well I just wish I had a program that'd allow me to change certain colours into another colour. So far, I'm having to do it pixel by painful pixel...

[rvl1234]

Are you using photoshop? Photoshop is invaluable for stuff like this lol

[cjonlyyou]

its easy to sprite just ask me on Rpg Rpg Revolution were im on my home turf and None of the losers will Go "you suck" after i do something breath taking and i will be banned after this topic for im gonna start some shit

[Demonic Blade]

Yeah, but where can I get it amigo(s)? Do I have to google it or check a site like Download.com?

[rvl1234]

check out piratebay.

[cjonlyyou]

try using graphics gale

[Demonic Blade]

Okay, I'll try that...

EDIT: (@cjonlyyou) Where can I get the full version of graphic gale for free? (and in english, if possible...?)

EDIT (@ rvl1234) and what should I download there? EDIT2: Oh, lol, photoshop, of course.

@Both of you: Should I download the full version of Graphics Gale at piratebay.com? Hmm...?

Strike it all. I'm sorry, but you might want someone to help you if you want it done fast, I'm probably not gonna get it done so soon (and my parents are getting divorced so I'm a bit depressed, and I can't work well when I'm depressed...)...
