Sprites

[Sin-Ran]

Is there anyway i can use some of the sprites used in this?

Brian hardly owns them.

Here's a good site for the base sprites used in 8BT. (http://www.spriters-resource.com/nes/F.html)

What i meant is the sprites like the ones for garland,
or the ones that aren't the normal sprites.

Garland is just a modified FF3j Dark Knight. Bikke is a stretched Thief with a pirate hat. Drizz'l is a mod of the FF3j Scholar. Vilbert is an outright recolor of the Scholar.

Pretty much everything else is ripped off from either FF1 or FF3j without modification, other than Sarda, who's a modified Doga with a new position added for casting, Dragoon, who's a recolored FF3j Dragoon, and a few custom poses.


Basically, Brian owns about as much of the sprites as you own land on the Earth. If you're looking to make a sprite comic, there are plenty of sprites freely available without hitting up Brian for his.

The thing is, i'm not that good at editing sprites.
I noticed that for what i'm wanting to make i wont need bikke or garland sprites.
But what about sprites like in this comic

What about those

You could cut them out of the comic and touch'em up. Or just pixel-by-pixel copy it. You know, one Paint window, one browser-of-your-choice window; switch between them.

Ask Sky Warrior Bob. He made them.

I have to ask: if you can't edit the sprites yourself, what are you using them for?

Comics

by the way, can i make a forum comic?

[phil_]

Like, a comic about this forum, or just a comic with updates posted on this forum? Both (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=6113) have been done (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=39370), so I don't think anyone would mind.

[Sin-Ran]

The latter
and where would i post it?

Just saying this, but if you're making sprite comics, you'll either want a very good source of sprites (either a very expressive game or someone to do them for you) or to be able to modify them yourself.

Also, Brian's advice to making sprite comics has always been "don't." They don't sell and 8-Bit's success was a massive anomaly.

But really, from a guy who does sprites, and started doing them for sprite comics, you'll want to learn how to do sprites if you're going to be making sprite comics. The benefit is that once a sprite is made, you can save and re-use it.

[Sin-Ran]

But still, where do i post it

[Loyal]

You could make a thread in the art forum. (http://nuklearforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9) Just note that you had better be willing and prepared to receive and learn from criticism, in the event that it draws enough interest to be posted about to begin with.

[Sin-Ran]

ok

I will post here again when i need help, ok?

[Meister]

Probably better to post questions about comic-making in your thread in the art forum and questions about the forum in forum-related stuff.

[Sin-Ran]

I've started the comic
you should go see it

[ChaoticBrain]

Can you post a link to it?
