Not photoshop...Photoshop alters things at a "subpixel" level. You want a small pallete. So stick to MSPaint if you're serious about spriting. Lol, no. Professionals all use Photoshop or similar for spriting, it's just that at a lower level and when working on smaller sprites MSPaint is quicker. Photoshop no... But I have seen many professionals use something else. Never found the name. And this one is designed for sprites, as you can animate and adjust as you work...

Cyndaquil Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Loll, yeah I know, I meant for actually drawing, scanning in a picture and colouring.

fenrir Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Bad quality. The Marowak head doesn't really go with the rest of the body, maybe resize it or add some cracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS Paint is the simpler/faster (to an extent) program to use.3. These are pokemon sprites, the average pokemon has 4 shades on a palette, so your fancy photoshop doesn't have much of an advantage there.4. Official pokemon sprite quality can be achived and surpassed on MS paint. I don't see the need to use any other program. In terms of spriting pokemon, MSpaint>photoshop. Use it. As fir the sprites, everbody has been saying save as PNG, so I won't repeat it, however I refuse to rate JPG sprites.I do see a lot of promise in your sprites however, so keep working on them.

Probably no-one. Does that make a difference?2. I'm not disagreeing with you here.3. And? Even if it doesn't have a massive advantage in that area, that doesn't mean that it's not better overall.4.

You said professionals use photoshop and blahblahblah.3. Overall, no. Pokemon spriting, yes.4. Ugh, my comment made no sense whatsoever on this one, however you you would have worked in the fact that MSpaint is faster and easier (which you agreed too), and it can still achive the official quality, why would you use the longer/more complicated (by default) program? If you would have bolded the entire sentence, it wouldn't have been stupid. If you wish to continue this generally pointless discussion, don't do it in this thread.

I don't see the need to use an inferior and worse-equipped program if a more powerful and better suited one is available. "In terms of spriting pokemon, MSpaint>photoshop. Use it."There. It's still stupid. This is a pointless discussion because you are completely wrong and are misleading amateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
