Well I enjoy that your back because your not some biased spriter who thinks JUS is the ultimate(no pun intended) style of spriting and like I said, your a master critic

"You're" is not "your". It's not hard.

JUS is a lame style as far as styles go. Henry Hatsworth outshines it easily, as do an infinite number of other styles.

no jus is not lame (on these forums atleast) and im trying to work on it to get better.

editz: could someone animate these please?

update: due to the arguement on witch spikeman we should use(TSON's topic) i made a spikeman to add to the arguement. bad kirbeh edit.

Larry, JUS is a poor style as far as styles go. The work is mediocre overall, and when you look at the animations, it's severely lacking.

Part of the reason for this is that JUS is a very big game, with a lot of characters. It takes time to meticulously work on such a large cast. So they sacrificed a lot of quality.

Besides that minor point, you ought to get yourself a program that can make animated GIFs. My personal favorite was Imageready, before it was discontinued, but Photoshop CS4 still retains most of the same functionality, if you know what you're doing.

As for free options, look into APNG editors. Those are gaining momentum, and it's always useful to know how to use the next big thing. The original one is built directly into firefox, but there are standalone editors too now.

Evilagram, there really isn't anything wrong with spriting JUS style. I think the reason most people like the JUS style, is because it is simple and easy to pick up, so you can quickly make a sprite that most people wouldnt consider bad. If they have problems, it is simple to look back at another JUS charecter to help fix it.

You kidding me, kid? The JUS style has a low palette count (not low enough or restricted enough to justify it), stiff poses, limited animation, and no character to it.

And seriously, you're editing. It's going to be easy no matter what you do. You don't need an even simpler style.

im saying that JUS style is simple to grasp. thats why people use it. there isnt anything bad about it. there is nothing wrong with editing either.

Simple =/= good. People aren't learning what they should be.



Y'know who I am? I'm the guy who got editing banned from sheezyart. Don't even start on editing with me.

because editing kills people. there isnt anything wrong with editing. for less experienced spriters, it helps get them started. and simple for a first style IS good, so you can move on to something more advanced after you get the main idea of what to do.

I agree.
Editing is for pussies. The ones who edit will not learn that fast.

right, because trying to entierly learn a new thing with no prior experience is a walk in the park. editing makes it easier to learn how to custom.

But then where will you start? Making crappy-ass sprites? Then you put them here, people will yell at you, and you probably won't learn that fast.

On-topic: I like that Spikeman, but I still say the original should be used. Yours comes real close, though.

Base.
Srsly

Isn't that the same thing as editing?
