spriting tutorial by cardinale

hi, i will show you some tecniques to create sprites.

first search for some 2D models from 64x64 to 256x256



then you need to cut and remove all the grey area of the desired item and make it 64x64 or 128x128 just "cutting it" with the paint cut square tool!



finally when you got the desired item in 64x64 or 128x128 then you will use the resizer to make it 32x32.



and now you got the sprites in 32x32, now go to any image editor like, photoshop, corel, etc.
and do some touches like bright, shadows, contrast.



now you got 32x32 sprites base models.

now i will use one of this base sprites, to make it a real cool sprite.

i will use the golden effect tecnique using this base sprite.

and i will use this "golden" 32x32 sprite as mixer

using corel for example, the "multiplier mixer at 100%"




done, Golden Wood helmet

now the steel will be the same using this one



now you got the "Dirty steel helmet" because i added a GREEN tone at the end

and for the last one i will use both, steel and golden ones, then i will use the colors of the royal helmet. to mimic the sprite.

hi otland! today i will show you how to make any item with rainbow animation.

first we need a "rainbow base" so i will use the rainbow shield from tibia.

then i will take the item i want to have the rainbox effect to have the same count of animations.



but i just want the "green stones to have the effect, not the entire bottle, so i will cut!



then with photoshop, corel or any program you will "Mix the items using the rainbow shield as second cape using the "match colors" mixing mode.



there you go!

Editing tutorial*, without offending you, they are pretty god, but you aren't teaching about how you should do the sprites

Again, is a editing tutorial, you aren't creating anything from scratch, is just an opinion, you're doing god tier tutorials right now

"hi, i will show you some tecniques to create sprites."

"first search for some 2D models from 64x64 to 256x256"

is stated in the first message, "Tecniques, using corel, and photoshop to make items, modifications, or animations"

a regular person with 0% knowledge of spriting using this tutorial will be able to do at least something.

thats why i made this post, also very few people can do sprites from 0, i can do sprites from 0 too, but my question for you is WHY? you know how many models you can find in google? i guess like 5 millions of armors, helmets etc. with very little use of any program like photoshop or whatever you will be able to do amazing stuff for your server. its simplier, and easy.

i know some people make money from "spriting" and maybe they will not like my post, but come on, its 2023 and editing programs and IA are becoming a reality for spriting too.

Pretty sure a lot of members will get something out of this thread and achieve their first steps on spriting and that's what is important. Thanks for your contribution!

Again, i'm not against your tutorial, it's pretty good and i'm even following it, but it's an editing tutorial

Hey, I understand what @xZest meant, I think it's more of an editing/resizing tutorial than a spriting tutorial.

Another suggestion is to be a bit more careful with the image you are using, for educational purposes it's fine, but maybe it's good to clarify, since as far I can see an artist created them to sell as game asset on the Gamedev Market.
