Forum >> Uncategorized >> Avatar/Sprites Thread

I got really some free time, so I want to practice my spriting skills. If you guys wants an avatar, ask me! I won't be doing requests after the 24, because I'll have my GCN and I'll be busy playing.

A superkoopa! Now there is a challange! :P

Blank space is good :)

I'll add something ... I want you to find me the sprites I need (lets say you want a megaman based thing, then find the sprite sheet...) Also, I do only sprite based things... Wait, find me a pic if you want too... it should help...

A reguler Superkoopa sprite sheet?

Arrgh sorry talk not now later I've gotta go.

Blank space is good :)

You don'T need to send me megaman, roll and bass sprite sheets. I got then already. Superkoopa, I'll try doing it megaman based... I'll see how it turns out.

EDIT : Here it is.

Sorry, Sakura. I can make my own avatars. I will make a Christmas avatar later tonight. Oh, anyone like the avatar I have, now?

{insert witty sig here}

Add a beam or something...

Thank-you Sakura Damn you're fast! And good too!

Blank space is good :)

It was kind of easy...

Superkoopa, your brand new avatar has a different background. It's not tan. Maybe you should thnk about changing your color scheme. Also, do you like my now animated avatar, Superkoopa?

{insert witty sig here}

Grr... Close enough.

Yes DM I think your avatar is cool. I wish I had some tools to do animations. But, one day yes one glorius day the time will come and I will be able to.

Blank space is good :)

Sorry for the background color... Next time I'll be more careful... Try looking on google to find the animation tools...

I'll send you Unfreez, now, Superkoopa. Go find Link 3's Animations topic, and Shadic will tell you all about it.

{insert witty sig here}

I can make my own too, but I can make some for people too, I can get any Megaman Sprite I need and have almost all anyways. I always make transparent ones though, just to let you all know.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Unfreez has been sent, Superkoopa. Check your e-mail.

{insert witty sig here}

Anyone else wants an avatar? I can do a sprite you know... instead of an avatar.

Thank-you soooooo much DM. And I'm off to make an avatar!

Blank space is good :)

Hey Sakura?Could you maybe try to make a sprite of Kenshin Himora?I have to find you a pic first,send it to you later okay?

I'm stuck in a world that does not exist
There are people,but they are not real
They speak for hours,yet don't say a word
Their lives are right here yet they have no life
They're isolated,yet connected to all
We're always in this place, but not really there at all
All we see is a blinding light, we never hear a call
What am I to do
When I'm stuck in a world that does not exist
Left with a pain that is all but bliss.

There you go L'sLS.

<IMAGE>http://www.angelfire.com/dragon2/protozero/khlls.gif</IMAGE>

It's Himura by the way...

<HUGE>Thank you,Sakura!</HUGE>
I knew it's Himura but well I don't know I guess I didn't notice I was spelling it wrong.

Christ that's good Sakura.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Holy hell, she's a better spriter than me.

{insert witty sig here}

i need a z-saber sprite, the small compared to my avitar but big enought to see.

Ok... I'll see what I can do...

EDIT : Here goes. Make good use of it.

<IMAGE>http://www.angelfire.com/dragon2/protozero/zsabertz.gif</IMAGE>

Any other requests?

How about Sonic?

I know how to say antidisestablishmentarianism.

One Sonic on the go!

EDIT : There you go. Don't delete it by error!

<IMAGE>http://www.angelfire.com/dragon2/protozero/sonicforlesgirl.gif</IMAGE>

I'm now taking requests! 3 days left! If you want something, ask it!

I'm not here asking for avatars. I just want to see how good she is at spriting. Sakura, make a digital clock in sprite form.

{insert witty sig here}

Can you make me a Viewtiful Joe avatar,Sakura?
I mean you don't have to but...
Thank you if you do make it.

Cool!

I'll try... this sounds easy.

And you don't have to test me. Just check my other works.

EDIT : There it is.

<IMAGE>http://www.angelfire.com/dragon2/protozero/vjfsc.gif</IMAGE>

0_0 woa, thats really good.

I found it hard because I had no pics so I see how he looked. I simply checked my old Nintendo Power magazines... then it turned easy.

Well, can you?

{insert witty sig here}

Give me a picture.... I'll see what I can do...

Don't send it by e-mail... post it here...

I can't host pictures from my computer. :(

{insert witty sig here}

Hm, I must admit, you are probably a better spriter than me, I've never tried anymore than recolours(Talon is a bit more advanced though, plus pads) so I can't determine who's better. Just as a souvenir or something, could you make, ohhhh howabout....I don't know, lemme think. Oh I know, howabout Talon holding a Beam-Sword, yah that'll do, it'll inspire me to finally start my Talon ProtoX-Sabre sprites.

You could change his pose a little if you want.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

You want : <IMAGE>http://www.angelfire.com/dragon2/protozero/twzsft.gif</IMAGE> ?

Well there it is. Hope you like it.


EDIT : Note : People should come claim their avatar/sprite before (December 23, 11:59PM) the 24, because I'll most likely delete (or ask to delete) this topic.

Great job Sakura, that's a nice pose and stuff, I will a little editting to it, but I like it.

Um, what does twzsft stand for? Is it 'Talon with Z-Sabre For Talon'?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

It's yours, do anything you want with it, except taking all the credits. You can still give yourself some credit, but don't forget about me...

Part of the reason I asked you to make it is so I WON'T forget you, but to be honest, I'm probably not going to use that particular sprite, it was just an inspiration really, but I still give you the best of thanks and credit IF I use it.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

You want to remember me? Wow!
*Hugs Talon*

You're so nice with me. I won't forget you either!

I think something deeply strange is going on here(Not wrong, just strange)...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I haven't said things clearly...

Why you wanted a reminder?

Well, I now have a spriting competition (Majorly) and I also just think you're a really nice person, that's all.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Mmm... yeah... competition...

Talon, do you know, that actually I think you're way better than me?

I can't determine that, I've only done recolours, basic and advanced, and Shoulderpads too. You've done way more, I'm not sure if I can, because I've never tried to do something at the level you have. If I could, then I may perhaps be better than you, maybe...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Ah great, 2 people over the internet like eachother, this is JUST WHAT LAF needs. Who would have though Talon was one half of it though, I mean come on, Talon? I must laugh at this, but please don't take offense to this you 2, I REALLY THINK something IS going on between you 2 and I want to know what.........actually I don't I'm just wondering. I should go make a Christmas Avatar thingy myself, but I'm no good at it, maybe 1 of you 2 super spriting lovers could whip something up fast for me.

Don't try to make a big thing out of it Link's bane. They are just two nice people who are good friends.Even if soming was going on it still wouldn't be a big deal because well it just wouldn't because it's not!Don't go saying stuff about my friends.

Lost Sword, thank you for defending me and Sakura like that, I offically think Link's Bane is an ass now, but I'm not really sure if anything's going on or not, I think yes we've become great friends. I really do hate it when LB just pops up outta nowhere like that and says a one post comment. Oh well, glad someone else is awake and posting right now.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

There's a difference between 'like' and 'love', like there's a difference between 'hugging' and 'kissing'... Got it?

I very much get it as I've been told this on numerous occasions. But I'm not sure LB does.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Guess this will turn into flaming, so I'll hit first. LB you're a guy with an empty head... F***** bastard!

How unlike me... heh...

How extremely unlike you Sakura, now where's my ProtoX-Sabre, oh yah I have to make the Christmas comic first, then I can kick LB's f*cking ass for being such a jackass. Does he have no consideration for people at all? First 1UP, now us. He likes to bother people, I'm surprised Wolfenhex hasn't said anything to/at him yet.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Perhaps he just ignores him. Too bad there is no ''mute'' button somewhere...

Or just an Ignore button. Dangit, we're the only two on LAF again, this happens a lot now doesn't it?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

They got their own things to do... I guess...

Uh, I think your rank just went down Sakura, go post a 2000 word post somewhere in here and go up again, I can't stand to see anyone so nice at such a low rank. You were a Cheep Cheep grey, try to get back to my level, a Cheep Cheep red. Darnit, I had another request, but I forget it now.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Wasen't that my old account???

Nope, this one was CC Grey, but isn't now, it's a Bloober.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Anyone needs an avatar or something?

PUBLIC EXECUTION!
Fun for the whole family.

See Wolfenhex? Your system seems to have a flaw...

Your 10000+(Literally) Gs and Ks? That's not a flaw, that's called a moron being an ass! I'm just kidding, I DID say up your rank.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Nothing's perfect. Never said the system was.

I never said it was/wasn't, but absolutly EVERYTHING has a flaw to it, just a very minor/minimal/chances aren't flaw. Your system works fine.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I was talking to Sakura, not you Talon. Like you said, systems are fine until someone abuses it. You abused the last system of going by posts. At least this system can't be abused without everyone seeing straight out it's being abused (like what Sakura did).

BTW Talon, I saw your deleted post, I don't care about people cursing. Others here might (I have plans on making a profanity filter that will mask it out for those who want it), but I'll never say anything to anyone about it.

Any requests? Any? It's boring here... and I need to practice!

Well, I deleted it out of respect for other people Wolfenhex, and as for Sakura, Make Megaman look like Zero. Try to add Armpads and a Z-Sabre and everything.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Mmmm... Sorry... I think I'll take vacations... Maybe I'll come back next year...

Well, happy christmas and happy new year!



-Why I decided to take vacations?
~I wanted to relax, even if I got lots of things to do. But the true reason, is that I'm getting obsessed with the forum. Can't think of anything else 'cause I'm always on it... So...

Well, bye... I'll come back... I promise!

Here's my (2 page late)reply to Talon.
You are welcome I'm just glad people around here think I'm an @$$ like Soujiro does.*sigh*I'm gonna go aplozize for calling him a jerk. Wolfenhex:I'm glad people around here don't abuse the system TOO MUCH.
Link's Bane:"Don't be an @$$ or people will hate you."I told you this before and you did not heed those words now three people offically think your an @$$(or said so anyway).I sugest you change your ways now before you get old and lonely.
Sakura:Cursing is very unlike you but LB deserved it.Have a good time on your free time.(That sounded really bad.)
Yay this post is long and may up my title!
Until you read another one of my posts,goodbye.

Well, have a nice christmas too Sakura. Have a happy new year as well... if you can read this.

Now, back to LB. He's an ass. Yes, an ass. You all heard correctly. If people thinks the same as me, you're in the good way...

Wolfenhex, Sakura only wanted to get back up some ranks because somehow, there was a flaw in the forum system and it forced her to close her account. Now she's around with a new one, with a crappy rank.

Ż-_Lazy Koopa_-Ż / Ż-_Protoman~Zero_-Ż

Flaws don't narrow down to 1 person (if there was one we would all be effected). Either she did something wrong or she chose to close her one account. Spamming a bunch of random letters in massive posts won't bring her back up because they'll just be deleted. If she wants to regain her rank, she has to earn it again.

I never liked the new ranking system anyway. It brings competition too, and it's not so good.

Ż-_Lazy Koopa_-Ż / Ż-_Protoman~Zero_-Ż

And the old ranking system didn't? People would reply to posts with the most pointless things. At least now it requires more then a short sentence to move up.

I liked the old way better too (and it would be a lie to say I NEVER spamed.)but here we are it's highlty unlikely Wolfenhex is gonna change it back.
But if we're really good...
We can always dream.*sigh*

I don't see why everyone is sooooo obsessed by a little rank. All it is, is some words next to your name saying if you are good at soething or not. I make long posts when I feel it is nessary and short ones when needed. I think titles are a good idea but sometimes it gets out of hand. All I'm trying to say is... Stop making such a big deal people. If they are worried about it they can say it. Something else... This may not have to do with ith it but it is in the same topic sooo... Link's Bane, don't be an ass. Nobody likes them all Donkeys do is complain. MAYBE you were mistakin and you thought wrong. But, if you were doing it to be an ass... Stop, it can get very annoying.

In conclusion I think we should all try to get along better. And coming from someone younger then some people (not most) that's preety sweet. So can't we all just get along and be one Big Happy Family?

Blank space is good :)

Let's do a Nationstates debate.

1. Ban the ranking system!

2. Stay with the same system.

3. Go back with the old post based system.

4. Find a new system.



4 solutions... Only 1 can be picked...

Ż-_Lazy Koopa_-Ż / Ż-_Protoman~Zero_-Ż

5. Sit it off and hope SOMETHING happens.

Blank space is good :)

I think we've offed topic, but Sakura isn't here anymore and so we can't ask for more requests...oh well. I'm glad I have so many friends on LAF, as for the ranking system, I abused the old one, I admit to it.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Well um I like Superkoopa's # 5.
And also Superkoopa,I rather we not be a family because they fight a lot more than we do but it's nice to be in peace with one another but it's also cool to have some conflict.
Why you ask?
Because we-as humans-are addcited to conflict.
Without it we'd be so bored.We watch movies,listen to music,post in forums,read comics,read books,and play games all because we are addicted to conflict.
Everything we do is lead back to the source that we love conflict.We create unnessasary drama because we love it.
.....
Darn drama teacher's lectures are getting to me..

I play games because I want a challenge, I read and make comics for enjoyment, and to entertain. I listen to music(without words mynd you all) because it keeps me going, and I really don't like silences.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

But the chalange would not keep you without a nice storyline or a score to beat or a goal to reach.
Comics wouldn't be enjoyed without drama/conflict.
(Like if no one said anything until the last panel but they only said "boo" or something.)
Music without words is hard to say...
Ah yes,the instrumental sounds are battling to be the one to catch your ear.(or something.)
Like I said it all leads back to conflict.

Conflict... Fighting... Politicans... We can't control everything but we can help to do better. We could do stuff to help and....

Forget it I never said anything!

Blank space is good :)

RPGs have no score and storyline....that's why I watch Animé(But not Digimon, it's turned all wierd[er]). I play because the challenge is winning. Comics, yes I know drama makes them hilarious, that's the point. Hehe, almost done Christmas comic, about 10 more minutes of work. And the Cataclysm movies are good because they're Flash.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Well-
Oh forget it this is never going to end if I keep proving my point and you yours.Let's just end this here.Agreed?

I made a mistake, RPGs DO have a storyline, and yes I agree to your statement, let's leave this alone now. What shall we use this topic for while Sakura is away?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I'd like to know what happened to Sakura why did she leave. I also think we should simply use this topic as a spam so for anything until Sakura gets back.

Drék the master of evil, becuase evil is good but not good good but makes me feel good

It's holidays, she'll be back. Let's NOT spam in here...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Well then what should we use it for, I got some ideas:
A) Life Stories
B) Music
C) How to Stop Spamming

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Drék the master of evil, becuase evil is good but not good good but makes me feel good

Here's another idea: Show off sprites! How 'bout that?

{insert witty sig here}

Okay, like my new Avatar?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

*gives a thumbs up*

{insert witty sig here}

Yours is good too Dustminion, but Nintendo should have made a sprite for a Pirahna Plant mouth opening when firing.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

How about my sig? Lemmy Kooopa has killed his siblings!!!

{insert witty sig here}

Dustminion, can I say something? I had post 3999, my Dad said 'Here, come do this for me' so I left and come back and now you have post 4000, this has happened to my with high post amounts 3 TIMES NOW AND I AM VERY PISSED! Either way, I like the Lemmy Koopa signature. I SHOULD have the ownage of 4K, but it's not my fault I don't.......

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!1111

{insert witty sig here}

Way to go Dustminion! Same thing here!

Blank space is good :)

You two, forum battle, now.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I'm back! Well, I don't take any requests... too busy... the GCN you know... heh. Well, new computer, new GCN, new games... It's one of my best Christmas! The only bad thing that happened... and retarded my return... is that... my grandmother died, the 25th, 9 days after her birthday...

Erm! Erm! No more requests! But thanks for the support Talon!

Welcome back, what did I do?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Nothing.

Blank space is good :)

I'm all confused again, what's goign on?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

You kept this thread near the top.

We wanted to figure out how to use the topic until you got back but it turned we wasted our time on that so now your back, but we need someone else to take requests then.

Drék the master of evil, becuase evil is good but not good good but makes me feel good

I don't think Avatar requests are still going on, but we can turn this into an Avatar/Sprite topic as mine in Spam hasn't gotten far...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Do what you want with it.

I was about to suggest you change the name, I'm serious, you read my mind :)

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I like it Link's Lost Sword!

Blank space is good :)

This is contructive critisism though. You might want to repeat the same frame more than once so they have time to read what luigi says.

Blank space is good :)

Probably making Luigi's walking animation and sucking animation better too...

I can read it in one go, and it's good. Could be better, but only by having Luigi on the same Horizontal line instead of going up'n'down a bit. And his text, for those less skilled you should have it slower.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Hell I'm still looking for those bush and cloud thing in the background in Super Mario Bros. to finish up my animation GIF (or whatever the F*** it's called) It might be done in a week or 2. I don't have much time to make them (Just Lazy)

Link Kick Ass! Kill Them All! Ha Ha Ha!

What's your e-mail, Link 3? I have the sprites you're looking for.

{insert witty sig here}

Look in his profile...

It doesn't say what his e-mail address is. That's why I asked.

{insert witty sig here}

Well, I tried...

Hey, Dustminion My E-mail is lynk@zoominternet.net and I will put my e-mail in my account.

Link Kick Ass! Kill Them All! Ha Ha Ha!

The sprites have been sent, Link 3. Go check your e-mail. ;)

{insert witty sig here}

Sweet, Hey Dustminion Thanks for the sprites I owe you one.

Link Kick Ass! Kill Them All! Ha Ha Ha!

He seems to be quite nice lately. Hope he stays like this.

No problem, Link 3. Need anymore sprites, I'll TRY my best to find them for ya. ;)

{insert witty sig here}

You've become much more nicer than since you joined LaF.

I joined a long time ago. I acted n00bish. Then I got better. And then I kinda slumped ever since ice shards joined with all his wasted topics and all. Then I've become nicer.

{insert witty sig here}

I just noticed all animated avatars stopped to be animated... It's my anti-add I guess... the should only kill pop-ups that appears automaticly...

Sometimes when you click on a link on the internet, all animated GIFs freeze for some unknown reason. :-S

{insert witty sig here}

Happens to me too...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

i cant think of anything for a animation, can some one give me some ideas or if they want an avatar or something? i would also like some mario sprites is no one needs an avatar

Do some sort of Comparrisan avatar like I have...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

like a little show that repeats?

The animation program that Talon has automatically loops itself. If it didn't loop itself then you would only see the animation once. If Talon's post was near the bottom of the page, you wouldn't even be able to see the animation at all.

What are you talking about!? I can choose not to loop it, and I can see it at the bottem of the page...

The Zero: What I mean is having 2 characters doing the same thing, but 2 completely different characters. Maybe X and Zero Double-Punching, then dashing, then teleporting out, beaming in, charging up, the ndouble-punching...

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!
