You are insane.

HOWEVER
I MUST AGREE THAT THIS MUST HAVE ONLY BEEN POSSIBLE BY THE POWER OF TIKAL GUIDING YOUR HAND TO CREATE THIS MASTERPIECE

I AM A FOLLOWER

That is all.

I need an ultimate sprite... All I have to go off is stuff you don't know and the Pokémembers.

orly.

Also SL I must agree that that is epic. However I cannot view it in its complete majesty because it will ultimately blow up firefox. Congraturations, your winrar.

I'M ON TO YOU SL.

You are god because the power of Tikal is that powerful.

Dang, that sprite is made of epic win. I do challenge you to push your talents as far as you can go. See if you can make some sprites that rival these. (Look at video.)

Even though that's a blurry image, I can tell that that's some nice spritework in those videos magnum. I'ma see if I can nab some of those sprites and take a look at the style more closely. Though, it'll be hard considering it's a PS2 game...

Odin Sphere's graphics aren't done pixel-by-pixel, they're painted. And the animation is done in a jointed fashion (with static graphics connected to each other and moving separately around hinges) rather than frame-by-frame, so I really wouldn't class them as sprites.

Hinges? You mean like how some of Eggyolk's contraptions work? They'd still be classified as sprites, even though they're much more complex and work slightly differently

Seriously GS, you can see how low-quality that text is just from the preview.

Do you really think that's the point of it, Sondow? I got a laugh from it.

* Seaking goes to look up on sprites a bit

Okay, so technically they are sprites (defining sprites simply as 2D graphics in games). However, in terms of the discussion at hand in this topic, which specifically deals with the generation and not animation of images, and specifically the creation of such images in a pixel-by-pixel fashion, they're not really relevant.

Though it would be pretty awesome to see something that detailed done in pixel art AND animated.

eggFL · « **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2007, 05:52:02 am »

Well nowadays it seems you can just create artwork and use that itself as a sprite with no loss or no significant loss in quality.

That's the future of 2D graphics isn't it? Ideally you would create 2D graphics the same way as making a cartoon.

Pixel-by-pixel probably isn't practical anymore when resolution is so high.

Well except for handheld/mobile games and rom hacks.

Anyway what I don't like about the pyramid is that it's so 2-dimensional. Shouldn't the top of the pyramid appear smaller? I guess what I'm saying is, I don't see what purpose that sprite could have. (maybe it can be applied via an inventive use of cutscenes in a Sonic hack?) Well other than showing it off and your skills. And sheer patience. In which case yea, very nice man.

Crowbar · « **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2007, 07:30:01 am »

I'm pretty sure it's a for background for his Tikal game.

eggFL · « **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2007, 08:36:16 am »

Which makes me wonder where's he going to put it. How would you see any of it beyond the very bottom?

And keep none of its magnificence from going to waste >_>

I can imagine a few ways he could do that. But in any case, I think he should make new character sprites next!

magnum12 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 24, 2007, 01:01:37 pm »

Yeah, IIRC, the graphics in Odin Sphere and eventually Street Fighter 4 are hi-res. I could just imagine what a Sonic or Mega Man game would look like in hi-res.
