High Res sprites from old ones

[aokmaniac13]

As part of a contest on another forum I started to make these, this is the first of what will be many. Feel free to diss it as much as you like.

Nice job.

Duke returns!

I'm thinking about removing the black backgrounds, what do you think?

[Birdie]

maybe you should make some JJ2 high res sprites =O

[aokmaniac13]

The people have spoken!

[Xobim]

This can turn out very cool!

[aokmaniac13]

I'm taking requests/suggestions now.

[CrimiClown]

This one came out a lot better than expected, considering the lack of detail in the original.

EARTHWORM JIM! MAKE EARTHWORM JIIIMMM!!!! Or even Sonic... The old one, please.
Give me the sprite(s).

[White Rabbit]

Wow, Jill has put on weight. :|

[MSB3000]

How do you do it?

[aokmaniac13]

How do you do it?

In Paint Shop Pro, I scale up the sprite by either 200% or 400%, add a new raster layer on top and trace over the original with black, discard the original and start filling in the outline. If I don't like the scaled up dimensions, I stretch it out just a bit first (Look at Duke and Snake)

The EarthWorm Jim sprites. (http://www.maj.com/gallery/SonicFreak/Comics/Sub/earthworm_jim.gif) Made by SonicFreak, arent totally completed, but its perfect for that.

The original version looks way hotter :o

[CrimiClown]

The original version looks way hotter :o
Especially in the pose where she's climbing... O+

Good job, anyway.

[White Rabbit]

Yes. Her cleavage has added shading, her waist is thinner, and her legs more slender.
Er, so much for my taste in women.

[aokmaniac13]

It's not like I've actually done this before, so the fact that my end result is actually recognizable as a female figure to you guys is pretty good by my standards :p

P.S. working on Unknown Rabbit's sprite.

[Doubble Dutch]

I'd be more worried if you had done a good job, especially if it was wallpaper size.

All the Sonic games have different sprites, so pick whichever you like best.

[Xobim]

What about this one?

Great sprites :)

Please resize those two! Those are the sprites needed for making MechaPako! (yeah, the another one isnt the real MechaPako...) As soon as you make them, ill recolor them. Credits to Aquatics64 for making the JimmyT spritesheet (i got the phone/robotic arm from them). Btw, why there are codes what nobody uses?

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Could you do the sprite for the Eyeball monster from Vinyl Godess? (Old dos game) It's really cool. Best Screenshot Availible (http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/original/956837474-00.gif)

[aokmaniac13]

First thing's first:

What do you think? I couldn't get the beard quite right :(


@ZAPPER
Mobygames has protection against hotlinking their stuff. I can't see the screenshot at all.

[Birdie]

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Oh rats. Let me see:

There. (In bottom right corner)

[Violet CLM]

Oh, cool. The neck area is a little iffy, but I like it.

[Black Ninja]

The Fooruman one owns. It gets the official blessing of the Foo Products team. ;p

[Pako]

forget my request for MechaPako, i already did it by myself...

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Could you please still do mine?

[CrimiClown]

++Fooruman

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Enough with Fooruman! Yes he is awesome and Hocus Pocus is a good game with good graphics for the time and an excellent soundtrack... Carry on then.

[aokmaniac13]

I am doing the in the order that they have been requested, so right now I'm doing sonic.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Okay.

There should be a line seperating the eye from the shining part of the skin. It looks weird now. There was no line on the original sprite because the shine was only one row of pixels.

[CrimiClown]

Thunder is right. The eye should be 'closed' on the right side. His eye looks... Strange now.

[aokmaniac13]

Pic updated, use refresh on your browser.

[ThunderPX]

The eye still isn't fixed, and the pose is wrong. You're only supposed to see one eye.

[Birdie]

looks better with 2 eyes :p

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Whatever happened to the eye-monster sprite I asked for?
