A simple sprite editing tutorial for Gimp

Sombre · #1 April 30th, 2007, 10:34 AM

In the future I can do a step by step tutorial for slightly more complex editing (the kind I did to make the Gilgan from the ancient Lord) and even the creation of new graphics from scratch (the kind I did to make the Orphan graphic).

The tutorial would be for PSP, but the theory is the same for most of these progs. Provided they have a retouch tool that is. I do 70% of my work simply with the retouch tool.

This is a great tutorial, thanks. I'm looking forward to having a go myself when I get the chance.

WooHoo!! You're my friend forever! But don't go getting the big head over this, I bandy the word friend around like it's free candy.

Maybe now I can make my own graphics without pestering Sombre or Foodstamp or Ballbarian...etc. etc. ad infinitum.......

I must being missing something. Why do everyone's sprites have a magenta shadow?

Foodstamp · #5 May 2nd, 2007, 12:49 AM

The game recognizes Magenta as the shadow color. In game the Magenta is actually semitransparent black

Thanks. It appears I may finally be able to make the nation I have had in my head since Dom 2.

Is there a way to rotate an object without it blurring? IE I want to use a warlord ax, but I need to rotate it.
