JUNE ACTIVITY: Resprite the NESprites

[Gors]

just adding this for comparision,

This activity's purpose is not to make the sprite better than the original counterpart, as weird as this sounds. This serves more as a way to make your own interpretation of the character, adding and subtracting details as you see fit, while keeping some of its characteristics.

By using the same colors from the original, you're forced to think creatively, and try new combinations of colors that otherwise you mightn't have thought before. In this case, instead of doing the usual green>dark green pattern, I did a green>yellow>dark green combination. Also, some of the details changed from the original sprite: the shoes became yellow and the eye is now much more detailed, even if compared to the boxart. This might not look like a huge difference, but this artistic license is what gives the character your own flavor. Notice that this was mainly made without thinking 'I am going to make this sprite better than the original', but rather 'I'll just make my version of the character'. If you see the character's horn as hair, do so. This is what matters the most; exercizing your OWN creativity. The fact that your sprite looks better than the original is only a by-product of the latter thinking.

tl;dr be creative, people~~
