So here are my sprites.finished the first,rolling man

I have to say Magma, you have a good ways to go on the sprite.
Now this relates less to the sprite and has more to do with just being a bad idea in practice. You shouldn't post your sprites on a black background, especially when black is a color present in the sprite.

Rolling Man does not have a clear theme... What does the 'rolling' refer to? I don't see the character rolling any balls or doing a somersault type of action. His design also doesn't seem to have a cohesive theme. In fact it is a frankenstein (Frankensteining refers to making a sprite out of bits and pieces of preexisting sprites). This is a bad idea because it lacks originality and does not tend to look good as the parts were never meant to work together. His body is blocky and a disproportionate. One leg is bigger than the other and both legs change size when he moves. His arms are very stiff. You accidentally cut off Rolling Man's body on the sprite in the upper right-hand corner.

The sprite is definitely far from perfect but these can be common mistakes for first-time spriters.

Hmmm yeah.i will need to fix the way he shoots those balls.blizzard man was good idea i guess..

Well. got some extras

Coloured& Improved jupiter sprites

Um Magma Cube. You shouldn't ever save your sprites as JPEGs. It compresses the file in such a way that each individual sprite becomes unusable. It's also near impossible to edit the sprites because you can't use basic spriter shortcuts.
Next time you should save your images as either PNGs or GIFs. PNG is considered the most standard file format in the spriting community.
Also, you really shouldn't use a black background.

Alright,a PNG.With Recolouring - I start With MM2
Edit : Copy right to who did this from the internet.And i own copy right of colouring And no woodman cuz He does not need to be recoloured

---

Alright.Done a lot.From MM4 Just toad man Finished for now.

---

Also Mega Man 3

---

MM2 Also

Recolors, really?
I mean, is that it? Not even recolors more like...slightly altering shades. Not only that but you managed to make the sprites unsightly. Some of those color choices hurt my eye. Also, what have you done to poor Toadman? And Jupiter is saved in jpg format? Are you for real?
I am sorry but what kinda reaction where you expecting from this forum? Every spriter is capable of recolors.
EVERY. SIGLE. ONE.
So yes, unless you bring something original to the table I'd suggest you not post here for a while.

lawl.Idk who putted this toad man,looooooool.Also.The jupiter sprites went automatically to JPG.It was originally PNG.

If I'm translating what you're writing correctly, you are showing sprites from "who did this from the internet" which tells us that you are showing off someone else's sprites. That's a big no-no especially if you don't have permission to show off these sprites to begin with.

So you're showing someone else's *ahem*...work. And as a critique of these sprites...they are indeed very bad recolors of sprites that don't necessary require any sort of recolor. But the bigger issue at hand is this: are these even yours to begin with? or are you finding random recolors somewhere else and showing them here? the line

sends up red flags to me.

You mis-understanded me.I did those re-colours only.The guy who i dont know who ripped them.But im the re-colourer

So here are the issues on hand right now:

1. Recolors - in of themselves, recolors are usually not thought of in positive light because, as blackhook explained, anyone can do them. All it takes is use of the fill tool and voila! "new" sprite. However, most people who endeavour to recolor official/already colorized sprites usually attempt to improve upon the color palette of the original game. What you have presented is not the case.

2. Found on the internet - in the spriting world, usually one does not find some sprites on the internet, post them to another board (recolored or not) and then just say they found them somewhere. In the eyes of some, it is considered stealing the sprites. even if they are official rips from a game, someone did or take the time to arrange them. saying just "Copy right to who did this from the internet" brings up a lot of concerns and those "red flags" I was talking about earlier. A simple websearch for "mega man sprites" brought up the base of your MM2 "recolors" with simple ease...4th one down to be specific. the source for your MM2 and MM3 sprites were from a site known as http://www.nes-snes-sprites.com/. And the specific person, albeit their username, is Locke_gb7. Though a rip is considered within the public domain, someone did take the time to take the sprite from the game, arrange it in a manner to understand the sprites, and post them up onto the internet for others to use at their whim (so long as not for profit regarding official sprites).

The concern that I and others share is the obvious and not-good recolors, and that these appear to just be taken from another site, recolored, and posted here as original work. A recoloring of an official sprite can be a useful learning tool to understand sprites and how to make new, original ones appear as the officials do. But recoloring entire sheets, erasing ones that you don't feel "need to be recolored" (specifically Wood Man and Doc Robot respectively) just seems to lack a sense of effort. If your goal was to improve upon the official colorings, you did not succeed. Various issues on all of them are too long to list. I would highly recommend to not post recolors of sprites, and instead focus on your earlier posting and work on the issues that were critiqued on that.

they don't even look like recolors, just saturation boost its ugly as hell too.

This thread was not made to recolor.I have just did that like 5 recolours.And 2 Owned Sprites.(Alright.The jupiter sprites i made weren't in the goal.Im animating them) Back to discussion.Ignore those recolors if you dont need them.Enough.

No recolours anymore.The time for MR.X

Humble beginnings!
