1) Spring vastly improuved :D
2) Added more in-between shades

Maybe you could try using a photo of a coil/spring [as reference, or to actually use it]?

*edit* And while this is the first post of page 8 [well.. in my settings, anyway], I thought I'd repost the bubble thing again:

About the bubbles, I thought I'd take a screenshot of Vista's bubble screensaver

Obviously the 'contents' of the bubble are nothing alike, but this gives us an idea of what can be achieved with a bubble

Vista's on the left, Vijay's on the right [just ignore the background there, I did this very quickly]

RGX, in the original Sprite, the "dark" cross beam has it's darkest shade on the right, but on yours, it's on the left. I think that's what he's driving at.

Visual Example:

Many projects and games doesn't even care about pixel perfect alignment.
While it initially seems faster, ignoring this problem is a BIG mistake:

Blurred edges overlapping each other, blinking semitransparent pixels artifacts on outer edges.


To correct this you can align all the vectors with garbled pixels to a squared perimeter.
(In Illustrator there even is a "Pixel Preview" display to directly correct this problem)

Ah BTW the gate & blob are now officially "Approved", congs again! :colbert:


EDIT: I already split and uploaded those two contributions to the Database

Marked the corrections! ^^

While coils has no more garbled edges, they are too squared now! :colbert:

-Each single coil should be round at the lateral edges
-Use the lower clips from ME's version
-You know.. (MORE COLOR SHADESSSSS!! XD)

Hey guys I have just put together the Speed Shoe item Box and the Ring item box (No credit for the ring item box I just but together the ring sprite with the box sprite). Any improvements needed?

Also, because in Sonic 2 the speed shoe has not stripe or buckle, I have made a version without those features

The one thing I don't like about the version with the buckle is that it (the buckle) looks too high up. Otherwise it is superior.

And also, I have just finshed the invincibility box. This turned out great!

The invincibility monitor could be improved by adjusting the sparkles to the middle area of the yellow outline for consistency with the rest of the item boxes.

Update :D

I'm Struggling to put more shades in this :( sorry Vincent, I just can't seem to see any difference between the shades. Being slightly colour blind doesnt help either :s

I love the spring that I have made in this version though! I spent alot of time on this one.

The red thing seems to have some green in it.

And it's MUCH BETTER! ^^

The coils are improved, while they still needs to be sharper and have more contrast inbetween them (they tend to be too blurred especially on the spotilight)
-The shadow under the spring is too strong, make its opacity higher
-The black shadow invades the spring area, put the shadow layer BELOW the spring to fix this! ^^
-Hivebrain spotted it right, there is indeed a green shade in the second orange shading of the spring.


Don't worry for color shades, I will help you to fix them if you provide me the file! :(

I think I fixed the problem on the gate:

My attempt at Kracker, the shading in this is really tough to do in flash.... I couldn't make out much of the sprite as well, but I think I did pretty well... (the black line between the mouth was placed there on purpose)

Still some green in the central bar or shading on the spring and in various places on the base.
