An excercise in spriting

[GaryCXJk]

Lately I've been trying to go back into spriting again, mainly because I have many ideas in my head, most being ideas for novels, but there are quite a few I want to use for either webcomics or games.

So, I've began working on defining a sort of sprite style, although, to be fair, it's not so much creating a style as it is adapting a style that's based on how I generally make original content. That and my digital portfolio looks like shit, so I need to spruce it up a bit.

Actually, my digital portfolio is the main reason I started spriting, as I needed something to show what I exactly am. I started by spriting myself, both to make something that represents myself as well as a starting excercise, a warming up.



It doesn't look like much, but it's something. It was a good way for me to get back to an old hobby. From there I sort of figured out how I wanted to make most of my sprites, and from those excercises I could go back to my original content and fix it to fit the style.

So, what I'm going to do is just post the sprites I've made and finished, while occasionally posting a WIP. I might not update the front page all the time, mostly due to text limitations and such, but I'll try as much as possible, and if there are really a lot of sprites, I'll create a new webpage.

Ariel, Kiss The Girl dress (The Little Mermaid)

This is the first sprite I've made. There are still things I'm not completely satisfied about, like the bottom part of the dress, the feet and her face, but overall it was a good start.

Kimberly Ann Possible (Kim Possible)

The second sprite I've made. The biggest challenge here was keeping her original shape while maintaining the style I picked. I might eventually go back and fix Ariel a bit, so that the shading looks a bit more similar.
