May I contribute something?



For one of the most demanded sprites of all time.

Also a good animating site is ezimba.com but it deletes all images after 90 days, so you should save it to your computer and then upload it again to imgur or tinypic or something.

Another tool you can use is SketchBookExpress or SketchBookPro (the former free, the latter a bit costly and both available for Macs)

Hm, not really since I haven't really searched for tutorials for that.
However I suggest you to use DeviantART, as at the left you can pick the categories, go to resources and stock -> tutorials, and then at the top, write what you look for c:

Also this question would better suit here, which is a place for these kind of doubts and needs c;

That is something very important actually. Since from what I remember JPEG weigh is less than other files and photos are always JPEG so many people at first think that its the best format, when it is not, because it will blurry your pixel and you wont be able to recover it.

Wow I never saw Seal's post. You must use the colour picker in the program you are using and then make a small square with that colour so you can pick it when you want.

Pikablu; if you only have MS paint, then you will need help of someone or of a page. The problem is that I currently don't know any to make the background transparnet since I never use these kind of pages ^^;

Which file type do you save it as?

It's clearly saved as a JPG, much like the last image posted before it, even though the guide says to NEVER save as a jpg.

Jpgs are meant for pictures that have thousands and thousands of colors, hence the speckling that it does. In large, colorful pictures, it is a smaller file-size and looks good. For sprites, it's a larger file-size and looks absolutely horrid.

Whenever you are saving the sprite, there should be an option to change the file type. Make sure to choose .png for still sprites and .gif for animated sprites. (You can use .gif for still sprites as well, but it's usually a larger file-size. And it can't handle gradients as well as .png can)

Hmm... I know another program... It's paint.net (it's not the normal Paint, and it isn't a site). It's better than paint but it's worse then Photoshop. It's VERY good for doing sprites.
