Vitamin's sprite edits

[Vitamin]

Messaged.... meaning.. he gave you permission.. or you just told him you were taking it? I think he has to give you permission first.

I took the sprite down. I'll put it back up when I get a message from him.

[DARKTALBAIN]

Is this DARKTALBAIN'S sprite edit thread? No?

I must be lost  

Well, Since I am here.

Seems like there is some discussion going on here.

If you just make a one sprite edit of something & it's not a WIP........

WHO CARES !!!!

You really do not need to have permission for that. Any creator that is going to complain about a one sprite edit of their work is just, ummmmmmm........

I actually like it when people use my work, unless it's a crappy shoto-clone or something.

Yes, apparently were having a discussion about sprites. I only took it down because I've seen some previous threads from IMT and Scruffy Dragon that didn't end too well about sprite edits from other individuals. I'm just not trying to add to the fire.

So here it is again...for now
There are two different types of heads - one made by me, and the second one was from Spooky77's "Dr.strange." Located in the spoiler

His head is much better, because it captures the look of the character. 

[DARKTALBAIN]

No creator has any right to complain about someone just having fun making one sprite. Anyone that does is just being ridiculous.

Well.. I mean.. it's polite to ask first.. don't care if it's from a single sprite.. it's still polite to ask.

[Vitamin]

You both have very reasonable points, but before this thread gets too serious I do want to point out that I only took Spooky77's head. I didn't edit over his sprite nor did I try to claim it as my own, and I even messaged him and made it keenly aware to everyone that it was his head.  

And this may seem ironic, but Spooky also had the same problem with his first attempt at Dr.Strange (his first initial edit was over Buyogs GL, but Buyog was very cool about it).
So... apparently Dr.Strange is cursed in regards to mugen.
I wish Spooky77 didn't abandon Dr.Strange (maybe he hasn't), because he's one of my favorite marvel characters.

The point is if you use someone else's sprite don't do a quick edit and post it without asking permission.

If you do a normal sized edit on the old sprite, mention that you used "creator's name"'s sprite as a base, maybe post it next to your work.

It's always good etiquette to ask if you can use it, I think giving proper credit is even more important and can be done even if you don't have the creators e-mail or get no response.

I think Vitamin is showing good etiquette. Minor edits like this could be along the lines of:

Dear "creator's name"',

I used your sprite edit on "sprite character", here is the one I mean. {img/}

I liked the work you did, and was inspired to my own version, change, iteration.

Here is my edit. {img/} Here is where I posted it (on the post proper credit is given) {link/}.

I will take it down if you do not want me to use it.

I'd love to hear your opinion on my version.

Thank you,
"New editor"

The shading is too stiff, and a lot of your colors have shades that are too close together, specifically the white / light blue.

Great sprites, you really outdid yourself.

[DEMONKAI]

D@mn vitamin . Didnt realize ya had skills on the sprite tip man

[Vitamin]

Thanks guys. But I didn't make this sprite from scratch-and I still consider myself a novice when it comes to spriting. This is actually more of a picture-to-sprite conversion=with of work on my part.

The picture was created from martinorona at deviantart

This large sprite was taking forever (and cleaning this sprite was also a pain the @!#%) -so I resized it...to the smaller sprite below


That's the evolution of the HulkBuster

[Weapon x program]

i love all your work

Shredder ( I bet you guys never knew I made a slight change to my avi)


Spawn

[HyperVoiceActing]

I really like the Illuminati one. I really wish someone would make an Iron Man mugen with the Extremis armor

[.Batzarro.]

Spawn looks a little odd without the cape but looks pretty awesome with it on. Great job on 'em.

[Vitamin]

Thanks for the comments. I included the sprite of Spawn without the cape, because spawn has been in two games without it (but personally like him with it).

This is spawn in Soul Calibur

Spawn

all of em are hot but on the spawns that Blue one with and heh even without looks tight..
hell i can imagine how youd do a Dante or Ghost rider

I actually started doing Dante a couple of weeks to a month a go, and I already have a base for Dante, but school interfered with me completeing him (I'm also going to try doing the video game version of Lucifier). The only reason I was able to do spawn was that I did a few touches "here and there" on the sprite when I lost the inspiration to work on paper during the weeks. (The only good news I have right now is that I'm almost done with my paper).

I also tried Ghost rider when I first began to sprite, but being a rather impatient novice at the time, Ghost Rider came out looking like crap. But I'm going to redo him in the future.

ah sounds groovey man. Yeh im curous to see how youd sprite em. Ive seen only like 2 very good Ghost rider spritings that i can remember. One was a KOF style one and the other was Wucash...

and yeh,,,when you are a imPatient Novice in the begining things like that happens....heh I should know

[Vitamin]

9 pages all ready? I really have been cranking out of sprites for the past year.

I wasn't too happy about how simplisitic Spawns cape looked in my earlier post, so I redid it, and added the chains around his right bicep. I'm still unhappy with how the cape looks, but Veni-vidi-vici.

Hey Vitamin   nice stuff here. Sorry I just now saw your PM.

1. You dont need permission from me to use anything of mine as long as you say I did it.  

2. Acey did that head anyway.   ( Im pretty sure)

Thank you for the reply. I just figured I message you because Mugen has of "Gray areas" that isn't clearly defined, and taking anything from another sprite is pretty much a taboo here at IMT and Scruffy Dragon.
