Yeah Dark showed me some of these on IRC. He didnt show me all of the characters though, i must say they are excellent .

Its amazing what some people can do when they are bored .

They're all the same character, he's just wearing different clothing/armor (in one he's bald).

you mean nude except the underwear

oh I knew they were from bordom I just wondered if they would have any importance.

The bottom-left one is bald.

As for importance, maybe in the future but definitely not now; I've got a job as a pixel artist, the pixel art lessons, tankies, DDR, and finishing up senilym: owt's 6mhz version before I do anything new, so nope...

yep I'm a pixil artist (look at my sig) I've already made sprites for numerous people. *waits for sprite help section to be made*

Okay, the first thing I'm going to do in lesson 4 is explain how to convert a larger colored sprite into a small 2-4 color sprite. Then apply shading, with limited size, and explain some problems you can (and will) come across with so few colors.

Only problem is I don't have a good example that I can work anew with, sooooooo if someone wants to give some suggestions (preferrably NES sprites or similar, nothing too big or complicated) that'd be great. *awaits*

I can't keep my eyes off that avatar!

How bout a goomba 8x8 BW

And maybe some other mario enemies...for no reason.

How 'bout something less common, that no one really knows about?

Edit: Either way, how's this?:
It might not look too much like a goomba, but with only two colors there are a *lot* of limits concerning shape, size, and look. Which I'll cover in Lesson 4. And unlike the previous lessons, I'm not going to be very direct with the images, they'll be repetitious and hack-like because that's what making b&w sprites is all about, fighting the restrictions. It's a cruel world in the b&w universe

It looks like a goombah .

How's this for 4-level grayscale power:



Inspired by a larger picture i found somewhere, i copied some off it and made some other parts up ... but it is just an image i use to test grayscale routines with.

All i can say is

for the 8x8 there's not much you CAN make that looks like anything...especally people and so this creates a challenge who can make the most detail person...in 8X8?

Well I can't really get you example sprites, but... How about Edward, Alphonse, Mustang, and Armstrong (sample pictures here and here)? Like Jim e said, no reason Actually, tr1p made a couple sprites a month ago or so... But 16x16 just isn't big enough for these ones. So much for keeping it a secret from those who didn't look.

Offtopic: We need that to be a smiley... >.> or something.
