Sprite Making Tutorials

Hello ... today i wanted to pester you all yet again with yet another question on yet another topic so you yet again may answer it... lol :lol:

games like the old final fantasy games, KH for GBA and Fire Emblem have inspired me to create sprites but unfortunately I know absolutely NOTHING about such things. <_< could someone point me in the right direction and provide me with resources on how to do so? thanks.

Happy Holidays! :lol:

http://www.zoggles.co.uk/asp/tutorials.asp?tut=17&page=66 steps 8-11,

this should be in tutorial request

 

what are sprites???? ive seen people talking about them but i have no clue what they are

 

http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=155073 theres one there but you have to pay for it

 

wait now im totally confused is a sprite the little animation thingy or is it a style of sig?

 

Being a sprite artist seems really hard after reading through the link .Apocalypse provided.

 

To all the post above,

A sprite is a little pixel art person that are used in games like mario, final fantasy, capcom games. Before the game makers were only allowed pixel art and about 16 colors so they had to live off that and they could not make like 3d stuff like today for games.

Ppl put sprites (mostly capcom sprites) in there sigs and ssmugde and stuff around the,

 

oooo ok thx for clearing that up apoc!

 

Weeeeird. Sprites. I thought you were talking about finding a tut to make the Sprite logo or something,...

 

If i'm not mistaken Acidglow uses sprites in his sigs.

 

He does not make the sprites, just animates them together

I think nightfire wants to know how to make the little character

 

I kinda figured he didnt make them. Was just using it as an example for those who were wondering what sprites were.

 

Wow thanks everyone!(you too apocolypse!)
The link was great and I will start using that tutorial immediately after finishing up this post. Actually I am glad to see that Apocolypse answered your question, Dr. Gonzo. And I do not want to pay 400 credits to make a sig with a sprite unless the person who wrote the tutorial tells me how to MAKE an original sprite which he apparently won't.

Yes I would like to know how to create my own sprites and my question was answered, however I would like some more replies for more resources and such. :unsure:

LOL it's been a while since you've posted in one of my topics, hasn't it, Apocolypse? Thanks to everyone who posted! :lol:

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
