Soooooo me and my friend are going to be making a video game. problem is we both suck horribly at spriting. so I'm posting here in hopes that someone in the MSpaint section knows how to sprite decently ( assume you do). If you want to help, please post proof of work.
Thanks in advance. :3:
What kind of style are you going for? I might be able to help if you're serious about this and not just saying "imma make a game lolol" without knowing anything about making one.
Wow, you did listen to me.

[i]We[/i] are serious. What do you mean what kind of style? Doesn't every artist have their own style? Obviously pixel art though.
Tell us more info, we're not going to help you if you just say "we're making a game." We want to know what it's about, we're not going to sprite some stuff that's for a game that may never be completed.
Well so far we are still planning, but we know for sure it will be a platformer shooter/rpg. Yes, I have experience in making games i'm not just saying "i wanna make a game sprite for me plz". But yeah, no official plans of what it's about, we just know what genre we are going to make it
so technically you would rape the sprites by making a small game and not mentioning us at all.
Never said it was going to be a small game, and stop making assumptions.

yea we were thinking maybe like metroid-type of game
If you're still planing I could help with ideas...
I suck when it comes to spriting.

story ideas? that could be useful.

Well, yes, it usually does depend on the artist, but some games have a specific style, such as cartoony or realistic. And besides, you're not going to get one artist to do ALL the work, and having a bunch of different styles mashed together just looks bad.
Cartoony-ish
Okay, can you make a quick sketch of a character, to give us an idea?
Well I wanted to leave that up to the artists, i'm not good at [b]all[/b] with art designs/ideas.
I used to do this shit all the time. Great times back in the day. How are you making the game?

its going to be in C++
Ah, cool. So if I were even to attempt to try to sprite for you guys, I'm going to have to ask the same question everybody else has been asking. How do you want the character to look?

It doesn't matter, do your best. Asking someone to do something cartoony without any reference or idea of what to do is like telling a cow to make water. (Sort of)
[QUOTE=BananasGoMoo;18177909]its going to be in C++[/QUOTE]
:downs:
ok well i was thinking like a space warrior type person who has two weapons: a lightning-rifle and his fists. but dont make the lightning-rifle giant or anything. maybe just Uzi size? anyways, make it futuristic and stuff. not sure how else to explain it. efeX may have a different idea though.
Uzi-Sized lightning rifle. Alright, and you want this to be done in MS Paint?
[QUOTE=braxus;18177995]:downs:[/QUOTE]
wat.

[QUOTE=Da_Arwin;18178044]Uzi-Sized lightning rifle. Alright, and you want this to be done in MS Paint?[/QUOTE]
why not. i mean like scaled to the hero size.
It's fine, it just sound a little funny. But any sort of pixel size you want this to be?
[QUOTE=Da_Arwin;18178087]It's fine, it just sound a little funny. But any sort of pixel size you want this to be?[/QUOTE]
i dunno. can you do it in 64x64? if not how about 128x128? i dunno how much space everything would take up on the canvas.
Oh man. 64x64 is a fun size. You want this to be a somewhat 16-bit looking image?
Just for a reference, this ball I just drew is 32x32.

yea. basically.
actually, is 64x64 too difficult?
I guess not. Just not the most room to work with.
I'll start working on it tomorrow. It's 10:41 PM here and I need to get up at 5 AM tomorrow.
Until then, goodbye.

How's this?
This is by no means a finished product, it just gives you a general idea of my spriting ability in cartoony style and what I gathered from your description, I could also make it larger or smaller, if needed, and change the style a bit if this isn't what you're looking for.
