Eh, I dunno, it doesn't look like you'd struggle too much with Mina now. The green alien, yes, mina, shouldn't be much more difficult than Beeya, if at all.
Count me in as one of those 4 13thzone members. and marshall.. then we just need 2 more.
"I may devour the five continents, and swallow the three seas, but a body with neither wings, nor hands, nor feet, is powerless against the sky."
My stuff:
| sprites | frozen |
1) DO NOT PM ME
2) Go read up on anatomy and proportions online. (google is your best friend)
3) Go read up on pencil sketching-shading.
4) Practice by making FULL character sheets. (Refer to bases and references if you have to, occasionally try doing things from scratch. You have to mix both methods; bases and without.)
5) DO NOT be an arrogant, self-righteous prick when people try to give useful critiques, and ignore the ones who are flaming idiots. (Flaming them back makes you one of them.)
6) Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you're happy, or you think you're good, then start sharing your knowledge with your fellow spriters.
7) Showcase your sprites. At first, do not be discouraged when you don't get any critiques, or lousy/generic critiques. Continue practicing and showcasing your work. With more sprites, it will be clearer what your strengths and weaknesses are, and people may be better able to give you better critique.
Lastly, if you think saying all this makes me an arrogant, self-righteous prick who is too selfish to share his knowledge...
Then I say you cannot recognise wisdom when I've just slapped you in the face with it. (Also, those steps are the same steps I used to get to where I am, I don't know any way else to truly learn.)
Unless you think its worth my time, go F*** yourselves. I'm not going to bother to even reply to PMs like "can you help me make this character?" anymore.

@ Siegvar
>shoot me, for I forget who Mugen is
he does not sprite, so I don't blame you. He's a moderator though
>Just saw TinoX come back from the dead in the ztage forum
really? where? Talked to him two months ago though when he just got back from Afghanistan as part of the marines...
@ YinYin
>i have a little plan on that if lets say at least 4 13thzone members pull along
I'm sure we can come up with 4, but 13thzone was at least partially dependent on VG being really talkative. Sieg spends the majority of the week in NS... but I'm all ears
>you could also try harder to think of something on topic so you can ship all your other thoughts along in your own post
everyone else has to do it that way ...
we'll see, but encouragements of sorts would still remain that way

Pardon me for bothering, but I am actually curious as to seeing some these. Sprites like these really allow me to look in to the construction of someones style. :P
As for HQ. I am all for dragging him out hiding (that is if he is hiding). I miss the elegance of his sprites.

Ah, all of a sudden I remember. He worked more on BGs right?
But I dont' remember him being a moderator. lol. I'm one hell of a hands-off admin. Maybe I shouldn't have bothered being one.

Eh, my bad. it was just someone gravedigging his posts. lol.
Yea.. I think that's enough of me going off topic.

Sorry I just have to ask, what on earth is his left arm doing? (er the one that looks like human skin)
It just looks weird to me... :P

It looks very good, you're a very talented spriter. Why don't you sprite on regular basis?
