Tom Guycott's Toybox

[TomGuycott]

Now that I'm out of school, I'll have a bit more free time on my hands for some sprite dabbling. I'll probably be starting out very slow at first, and probably not with customs from the start, but hopefully soon, as I have a bunch of ideas for stuff already. Of course, some of the stuff might be retarded crap I don't intend to submit like recolors I did for a laugh, depending on my mood because I'm such a jerk like that. xD

But before I get to that, I wanted to get some feedback on an edit I did a while back. Long story short, I took a sprite of Knuckles from the Sonic Advance series (courtesy of the sheets up on the site) and edited it to look like Metal Knuckles, also from the SA series.

Take a look here: Two original sprites of Knuckles, as well as one sprite that was actually a frame of Metal Knuckles, and one I edited. Should be easy to tell which I did if you played the game, but if you didn't, guess.

Answer:

The bottom left is the one I edited.

I was wondering if editing a sheet to expand the actions that Metal Knuckles can do would be worthwhile. What do you think? Yes? No?

Also, if someone could let me know how to resize an image in photoshop WITHOUT antialiasing, I'd grovel at your feet. :<
