Spriting A Rocket Launcher At 400% Speed (Pixel artists wanted for a Yoshi game!)

[Conspiracy]

I'll have a go at some tomorrow!

Sweet! Your sigs are really awesome. If your pixel art is as good as your rendered stuff, you'd be twice as awesome.

[Conspiracy]

Haha, never tryed it to be honest. I sometimes render sprites though so I'm good with pixels.

[JDBar]

Heh, well it's pretty easy to get the hang of.

Anyways, I'm like this close to being ready to add weapons.

I have never done this before and there is a problem I ran into. Whenever I try to resize the weapon, it blurs. I don't know why.
Here I drew it in 400 % zoom :

If I resize it to fit the 100 % one it blurs ?!?!?!

Same with this one going from small to big :

Again, I have never done this before and thats also why I tried myself on such a easy weapon.

When scaling sprites in professional graphics software like Photoshop and GIMP, it's best to turn interpolation off. I don't know how to do it in Photoshop, but when scaling an image in GIMP a pop up window asks you what size to change it to and offers different methods of interpolation. (at least, I think it's called interpolation)

I might use your sprite. Thanks.

That is sexy

My attempt with GIMP worked way better. Also thanks for the interpolation thingy. I'll have a look if I find that setting on Photoshop.

That grenade is pretty sweet. I'll definitely use that sprite.

Anyways, the movement system is finished (there were a few bumps wrapping it up, mostly due to my own stupidity) and I'm ready to start programming weapons. I'll have to start that in 2 hours though, because my brother wants to use my computer. Sometimes it's annoying having 2 computer-addicted siblings and one computer.

No new weapon sprites from me today, but I'm working more on the game itself. My friend sprited a battle axe and a molotov cocktail, but he hasn't sent them to me yet. I just finished implementing Yoshi's "flutter"/double-jump and I'm almost ready to begin working on adding the weapons themselves.

Looks good
