Making New sprites! Advice? Opinions?

Post by KingMacha »

Hi there! I've never really posted in the forums before but I've noticed the lack of sprite creations and thought I'd do my part to contribute. I've been playing BSF for about 4 months now and I've examined quite a few custom sprites. I made a few test runs at it and thought I'd better ask the people what they think of it and see if I can improve by that. So here they are! Any advice or opinions would help greatly. Thanks in advance! :D

(Edit): Made a couple more out of boredom. Half dragon head and half dragon neck if you're wondering.

I like them. One thing: The large dragon sprites have borders more than 1 pixel wide. That's okay, but I'd like them with a thinner edge... Still, good work for a first try, since i couldn't do that myself probably.
Now working on those nice needle beamers. Beware!

if you change them depends wether you want them used/mixed with other sprites, if so they need more details and tie ins to others if not keep doing your own thing: it seems to be working. And out of curiosity what program did you use to make these.
