Ristar (Work in progress)

[D-YexMaster]

I decided to make a Wad of Ristar.
I just started now, this is the first sprite, it's not done yet:

That is AWFUL!!! That doesn't look anything like Ristar and wheres the arms!? You need ALOT more practice if you are going to impress anyone on the SRB2MB. Theres no shading whatso ever. His feet look strange too.

it's not done yet

That being said, you should try to get the first sprite to look like a star before you show us this.

It looks like a pretty good start considering you are only getting the basic framework down, but you still have a lot of work to go.

May I point out the feet look too flat? Compare Sonic's front view to your Ristar and you'll see what I mean.

I'll point you in the direction of this Ristar Fansite, it has a lot of screenshots and art for reference if you need it.

Well, i advanced the work, now the sprite looks like this:

Well, i advanced the work, now the sprite looks like this:

Wow! That looks really good! Ignore Mr.Awesome, you have great drawing talent!

I suggest making the "Star fins" a bit longer, mainly the top one.

 

[D-YexMaster]

Mr. Awesome, the sprite is not done.

Sawhog, thanks for the page, i tink im going to use some of those sprites...

You're going to need to change the feet to be consistent with the style of SRB2.

Mr. Awesome, note how your post is completely useless and is not constructive in any way possible.

Back on topic...

Shouldn't the bottom points be curved a bit down because I think it should. Try making points to be a little like "Super Sonic's" quills. Also, try giving the shoes some more depth. It's a bit dull since it's basically sticking straight forward. Try placing it at an angle like for example, SSNTails' PLAYA1 Sonic Sprite. A little note for you, try not to pillow shade.

 

[D-YexMaster]

Right now im experimenting whit a new sprite. I will post it later...

Ugh... Why are all the posts I make so totally useless, I guess I'm done posting

 

[Virt]

This is very good! Keep going! ...but I think the perspective's a little off. He looks like he's looking down, sort of.

 

[D-YexMaster]

Here is the new sprite:

What do you think?

I like Ristar, especially the music of the game, they were divine.

As for your Ristar, I find him a bit simple.

As said AutoSave, yes, you should improve the spines ... so that the "big yellow mask" be like something which is yellow and sticky that someone has launched to Ristar. A bit like in cartoons.

EDIT : Sorry, I posted my message just after you've posted your new Ristar !

... for me, I find him much better ! I just hope that he will be a good size, and of course he will not be green !

 

[D-YexMaster]

I make it green beacouse in Multiplayer you can change his color.

 

[Autosaver]

Yeah, green is used so it can change to any color. But it would be nice if we could have a yellow sprite too so we can see what it would really look like. (Real Ristar)

 

[D-YexMaster]

Here are two new sprites:

 

[ThunderNova]

The sprites themselves are a little small, but otherwise they look great.

 

[D-YexMaster]

I want the Ristar sprites be small, because compared to Sonic...

 

[ThunderNova]

That's true, but if the sprites are too small, you won't be able to see them from a distance.

 

[D-YexMaster]

Ok, i completed the standing animations and the dead sprite, now im working on the idle animation:

Now, the diferent sizes of Sonic and Ristar:

I think is acceptable, right?
