First off, awesome tutorial SpiderMew! It's the best I've seen.  :w00t:

But I'm having a problem. I cant get the version of the gimp that you use, because I work on a Mac, and I'm having the hardest time figuring out how to make that palette (with the reds and greys). I'm obviously overlooking something because my gimp LOOKS just like yours but when I do the RGB thing, nothing happens....

IDK if you can help, but if you know what I'm doing wrong please tell me!

Well your on a mac, so things are going to be differnt. My first computer was a mac acutaly and i would use Appleworks 5 i think back when i had one.
Are you talking about the color picker?
I havnt used gimp on a mac so im not sure what to tell you. Perhaps if you could get a screen shot of what is like on your end i could give you some ideas.

I think it is the color picker. It's in video number three. as soon as you turn it on theres 4 shades of red on top of 4 shades of grey.

My gimp looks exactly like yours, IDK how to take a snapshot of it  :(

Ok over on the right hand side where you see the rows going left to right, the lines that are marked R G and B are the ones you can put the numbers into to get the color you want. Or you can look at that rainbow colored collum and click on it and move it up and down to get the color of the rainbow you want then in the big box on the left you can select the shade you want.

Hey dude. I already sprited one of the bosses from Captain Commando game, Dolg.



I watched only from the beginning of your vids, but my internet access is slow for viewing most of your vids. I didn't know you made the tutorial of this, which is great. I wanted to complete all of the vids for learning but unfortunately it's slow. I don't know if this is ok, mine looks like not really MVC. I'm not into MVC spriting, but watching it whould help me learn.

For some reason or another, I had a craving to learn something new at 12am. That craving brought me here, despite me having no creative bones in my body lol. I could only listen to the first two of the tutorials because my housemates were trying to sleep (selfish), but I thought I'd attempt it anyway.

I started off by just playing with GIMP, and did not edit the sprite design - that's mission two ha.



I'm rather bad as you can see... but it was great fun trying, so thank you for the tutorial. :)  ^:)^

Thats not that bad actualy Adam. Just remember with the black spider part, becareful about making it a solid black always, its a big spider so you m ay want to have other shades of black so it matches with the crumples of the hoodie.

Good job so far  :thumbsup:

Well if you use a re-sizing tool to make somethng bigger, it comes out with rough pixil edges.

What ive been doing is actualy cropping the parts evenly, spread them apart a few pixils then fill in the gaps.
Like split everyting down the middle and just move them a part a bit and fill it in. That will make it wider, then you do the same for going up in hight

For your first time that looks great  :thumbsup:
I personally don't like using MS paint, but what works for you, works for you.  :)

If you look closely at how the base was shaded and how many colors that and other sprites from the same game were done, you can start to figure out how to shade your own stuff.

Keep at it though, I see much potential in you. ::salute::
