General Character Art

Something tells me you REALLY enjoyed making these wonderful frames.

 

Of course they have.

 

Awesomer than awesome, then. I'd love to see the new animated title screen.

 

Well, I haven't even seen the fully animated title screen yet, so you'll have to wait a bit longer. :P

 

I'd say it looks more like he's getting F'd in the A... and seems to really enjoy riding it, I know I always do.

 

This has got rather men's area all of a sudden...

Besides, it's quite obvious he's trying to butter a sandwich and his hand slipped. That explains both the expression and the creamy spatter about his face

 

I'm using that excuse next time I get caught.

 

Don't forget the coronation chicken

I mean, who wants a plain bread and butter sandwich?

 

What is the possibility of other characters being added to the game if others take it upon their selves to make complete sprite sheets for say espio, charmy, vector, amy, big, (I am starting on a shadow).
I figure if it isn't something that is really 'compatible' with the game by default, it could be downloadable content.

 

Yeah, try telling that to me when Robotnik bombed Angel Island to all hell in Sonic 3, decieved Knuckles for the Master Emerald, and framed Sonic.

No, I like the angry, determined face on Robotnik. Keep the look, Vincent. Creative touches to the original work is good, and your touch is brilliant. Do keep it.

The Tails pictures are very good, though if you're one to think sick, disgusting thoughts, I can certainly see why.

Keep up the awesome work, Vincent.

 

This is my first attempt at making anything in Adobe Illustrator. I used a sonic sprite made by vincent as a base. I hope that is OK.
Anyway this is what I came up with after just a few hours of learning and playing...

 

That Shadow is pretty good, shading needs some work though.

 

The shadow running one I just did is VERY incomplete, it still needs lots of shadowing and smoothing, the shoes haven't even been started, eyes aren't looking how I'd like them etc. I just got excited and wanted to show what I have so far.
I will do what I can but as it is I am doing this as a learning curve. I would love to help with the project if what can do is suitable quality.
As it is I have only watched the 1st video tutorial on how to draw hd sprites, so I still have a LOT to learn about this. Until I get decent I think I will continue to transform sonic sprites into shadow sprites.

Hopefully, if I get really invested in making Shadow sprites they can find their way into the game somehow.

Thanks Vincent!

 

Seriously... I hope not! Let's keep this classic.

Even though the work you have done is pretty sweet. I tried to make some sprites myself, but they have been pretty shoddy efforts so far.

 

I'm glad there's people willing to make sprite sheets, but I'd like to be very clear on one point:

We still don't have character sheets for Tails or Knuckles, so those -must- take priority!

Until those are completed and polished, working on other characters gets the project nowhere.

 

Oh god, please, don't put shadow in this game...

 

Yeah... If anything, there should be a different topic for fan sprite sheets, so the main topic doesn't get derailed.

But even then, I don't think the additional characters should even be thought of, at this point.

 

I agree that there should be a fan-art topic.
Please do not let the shadow pics get everyones panties in a bunch. Right now that is just for personal enjoyment as I learn how to do this.

As far as my opinion on adding characters, I think that if there is going to be DLC (DownLoadable Content) like new levels and level mods then there ought to be a downloadable shadow, and vector, charmy, amy, all of them.
To be more on topic, my favorite character in the sonic universe is Knuckles, so I think when I master this sprite drawing stuff I'll give knuckles a whirl.
