I really like the first image... it needs more contrast, though, like the - IMO perfect - SSJ image. For the sprites, the left one looks good besides the shading, while the right one looks really odd...

Keep up the good work, I'm highly interested in what'll come in the future :D

Thank you... I'll have some more really soon...

The sprites actually are supposed to be what might be in the game... I'm not that good on shading on the computer... but i'm working on getting better with my artisitic skills... The right one is a SD version of the sprite on the left... Both might be used in the game... i dunno... i really don't like my Spriting Images...

Ugh... I am so jealous of you. Your art is freaking amazing. Man so far you, bluescope, BlackMarket, and Tana are some of the greatest artists I've seen. And before anyone gets mad because I said that. Keep in mind its only my opinion. Enjoi

you are VERY talented man... keep up the good work!... maybe i should make a thread of my art...

I think you'd do wonders with your sprites if you took a look at what they do down at Pixel Joint... I know I've learned a lot from going there. The style of the sprite in your avatar ( I assume you made it) is quite interesting... It lacks contrast, however. It's difficult to see details like the eyes because of the overall muted pallete, but I like the limited use of colors. Nice work on the drawings as well.

@ Crazy Mew: Thank you for the Compliment...

@ The Blk Mrt: Actually yes i've made it... i took a base of another sprite... and through the use of combining my style with the base i curned out that sprite... looked around for the RMXP Animations to create the animation you see... It's Thantos from Tale of the world (I think that's his name...)... i've created this Sprite using the base... most of my spriting creations need a template... but my artwork is original... and all from the mind... but i want to get better at spriting... one day...

Enjoi[/QUOTE]I get mad about it :D Well, remember that my artworks are only possible with the reference pictures, so the only good thing about them could be the way I dod them, which is only about 50%... consider that :D

Some more randomness... this is old.. and was a request for another rmxp project (that no longer exists...)



This was a fanpic of Scriptkitty's Naruto Next-Gen project...


Joseph's old look...


I shouldn't even have to say who this is... Most should know...


This is a Update... More from the DarkSyDaZ Gallery... :)

Sephiroth sucks, and aeris must die, now that I have your attention, hello.

Those are quite nice. it's easy to recognise the style ^_^

very nice! and i mean VERY nice! this is making me wanna find the ol' sketchpad... hehe...

@ the Cry of fallen angels: LOL @ my old thread name... Well... i think you have me... Well i'm just doing something to pass time, until Heaven's Cloud releases screens on their next project... :)

@ Crazy Mew: Come on, break out the ole' sketchpad on that art... lol, i could get used to this posting artworks in forums... Thank you for the compliments... i'm still improving, so please critique hard...

And another one...

VERY nice darksy! i love yer style!

And coming up soon... i shall be working on my game.. and a Fanpic of Roxas from Kingdom Hearts... but thank you all for your support...

Heh I'd be curious to see how you would portray the main character of my gane... but that's a story for another time perhaps..

i love and hate u at the same time, man! what programs do you use?

EDIT: we need to talk ^^

WOAH MAN!!!
You ROCK!!
like, how.....what....*drool*...
I wish I could do art like that!!

Darksydaz or me? not sure if your "^^" was a smilie or if it was two arrows pointing at my post...

@ J.D. Slasha- Give me a picture and i sure will give a attempt at it... i need to brush up on my request ordering pictures

@ Aran- don't worry I hated people to as i came up, but i just worked at it and they helped me improve by motivating me

@ High Mage Vivi- I wish I could sprite like you, lol... you can do something that I very well can't...

Looks like i got a little sprite happy... so i decided to get em, save em', post em', and see how people like em'... I've done several poses and a walking pose to see how the character templates would look in action (since i need the experience)

Without Further ado... The TEMPLATE in ACTION...


The template walking


The crouching (front) sprite...


The crouching (back) sprite... (and i added a little animation to it to make it seem fluid... just more practice...)


The Template saying NO...


The template agreeing with something...


The Template Shaking it's fist...

I apologize for disturbing the forum with horrible pixels... but i had a boost of self confidence that hit me and told me to do these pixels... Please critique, i need to get better and i know these Sprites have flaws (Especially on the Shaking Fist and the Crouching Front...heh)...

this is work for Samurai Ragnarok... by the by...

I love the shaking fist one. ;p (Im no spriter...so not much else to say, sorry)

All look nice to me thought.

Lemme' know if there's anything I can draw for you as well. ^_^

Amazing sprites, DarkSyDaz o.o

Thanx man..could ya do me some art for my game?
I'll provide the simple sprites and concepts..
That would be great if you could do this dude :D
here's one to begin if ya could:

The walk and nods are good. Altho the shoulders in the sideview walk could stand to move front to back - like you've got them doing in the front and back views.

Kneeling: I'm not sure why in the front view you've got the feet spreading apart.
Its always a good idea to act stuff out, as well as sketch it, before trying to animate it in sprite form. When I act it out, my front foot stays put and the backone slides further back, and its a natural reaction to put my arm on my knee.

In the back view, you've got his leg getting wider as it gets shorter, giving him the appearance of not having any bones. Instead you'll want to use curves to denote foreshortening (again, sketch it out before spriting it)
And the ears on the back view have overlapping action (delay) that we don't normally see on human heads - in that the ears stay put for a frame, and then drop by two pixels. for the last frame.

Shaking Fist:
I'm not sure why you have him shift weight.... it feels a bit awkward. If you want to go for more intense anger, try spreading both feet out and keeping the weight centered. Again, you'll want to use curves and shading to show forshortening.

Overall they're good and they match your drawing style very well. ^__^

Darksydayz, yer excellent at both art and spriting. You shouldn't say things like your pixelation sucks, cuz they're actually really good ^^

no kiddin~ they're great. twothumbsup.

I think i misplaced ROXAS... :(

I've been working on several things at the moment, and i hath done a small comic for my school paper. When it gets formatted and put down then i'll save it and put it up here for the world to see...

But i created this little gem for my friend... it's unfinished...


Oh and another one... this Request...


And Tana, i tried to get the Crouching front thing down but it's hard for me to get the "squash" downpacked... I'll try to post what i did later...
