Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Cobalt Blue - 04-22-2010
i hate calling it 8 bit but i'm p sure it will get more attention that way. besides, i still got to figure how the fuck i'm going to do the tilework, because if there is anything i hate more than making sprites is making tiles(i suck at it).

RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Vic - 04-22-2010
Bill looks way too young, probably because he lacks his signature beard... plus I think the beret is a bit too blocky in front/back view
other than that, pretty good so far.

tried to make bill older, made a fix on the beret![[Image: 34zhms8.png]](/image.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.tinypic.com%2F34zhms8.png&hash=c27224f36f0e151add7b1f0c5d48d39a)

i'd like some input on the readbility of the characters, or any input in general. hell, the fucking point of posting something here is that you sires say anything about it. its terribly discouraging that if its not something related to pokemon no one is able to spit a word on these.
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Rhyme - 04-23-2010
um. i didnt play l4d a lot but i think zoey is a bit hard to read
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Ego - 04-23-2010
I also don't know a lot about l4d, but I'd agree with Rhymey on Zoey's readability, at least on the front poses. Also, uh, third guy down(w/e his name was) looks kind of off in the dead pose. I think its the shadow on our left side of his head. Beret fix on Bill looks pretty natural now, although it MIGHT be a bit too big on the back poses.
I really like the little portraits(specially third guy down's), but either Bill's head is too narrow or his eyes are too close to together, in my opinion.
Are you going to extend this to the zombies too? If so, how are you going to differentiate the zombie types at such a small scale? Some of them looked pretty similar to me, especially at first glance or from a distance.
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Nystre - 04-23-2010
I'm not entirely positive how to go about fixing Zoey, I think the main issue lies in the overbearing amount of black in her sprite. Kinda makes it look too cluttered.
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Cobalt Blue - 04-26-2010
lets see if this works now(needless to say its better to see this 2x zoomed)
Character References
>Bill(fixed backsprite beret to match the front one, fixed mugshot eyes)

>Zoey(replaced the black from her hair, cut out some outlines on the chest, reduced the use of black overall. not entirelly sure on this one yet, i think i should change the comnination of colors)

and on the next update i should give a try to the special/common zombies
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Medevenx - 04-26-2010
How are you going to make the boomer in 8 bit? What's going to be the size? Also, is this inspired by Left 4 Dead NES by any chance?
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Cobalt Blue - 04-26-2010
i believe i saw that NES demake of l4D beforei didn't.
but no, this is just my own attempt to demake the game to the simplest i could.

Boomer and Hunter

RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Rhyme - 04-26-2010
that boomer looks perfect.. Dunno about the hunter.. It seems a bit off in the front poses
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Cshad - 04-26-2010
It feels like the perspective changed when I look at the Hunter's back sprites. Like I'm looking at him from up above rather than right behind.
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - evilwaluigi - 04-26-2010
I think you gotta make the Boomers side poses wider, the transition from facing down to facing left is weird.
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - JarJar - 04-27-2010
louis could use some ears or something.
RE: Left 4 Dead 8bit (and pokemons)(not) - Cobalt Blue - 04-27-2010
tried giving him ears but they looked way too cluttered :V
any ideas?
