Fun In The MSF Kingdom: A Sprite Comic By Garath Xion

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

Well I debated where to put this for a while. I know it's not TECHNICALLY Art, but I talked to Amber, and she said it was ok, so here I go. If another mod thinks it should be moved, then by all means go ahead.

Anyway this is a sprite comic made SPCIFICALLY for MSF!!! Yay!!!

Will there be more? Yes.

Will any other MSFers be IN it? Yes.....If you give me a sprite of yourself...

Now without further ado! The first MSF Sprite Comic!!!

Note: Admitingly I did NOT come up with this joke. I 'borrowed' *cough*stole*cough* it from 'Garfeild and Friends', but it still remains one of my all time favorite things of random sillyness. ^_^

[Chibi MitchellTF]

It's a good one, though.

[Mistress Guendolen]

Cute! Where does one go to make a sprite of oneself?

[Garath the Shadowshifter]

Hmmm, for those interested and not sure how to make a spite of themselves, I'm using sprites from Sailor Moon Another World. (Though it doesn't HAVE to be from that game.)

If you can't figure out what sprite you want catch me on AIM and I'll see what I can do.

Little Note for people making sprites, please be sure they are easy to edit. Otherwise I'll be unable to re-sprite you in other positions.

Whoa, never thought I'd see a sprite comic here.

NEVER EVER EVER save sprite comics as JPGs. The dithering just makes 'em look cruddy.

Read these. Memorize these. They will be your bible: http://www.fragile-minds.com/crashnbass/donts.html

Now that that's out of the way, I actually have sprites. They are located here: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a386/ ... omZeph.png

M'name's Zeph, glad to be of service.

[Chibi Carnifex_Omega]

Hmm. I may have to make new sprites for Carni.

Ok, Zeph. I aperciate you trying to help me out.

Ok I don't see anything happening when I save in Jpeg, in fact I think it actually messes up when I save it in GIF format. I'll have to double check that.

As for the links, I don't need em as I've well seen em before. This isn't meant to be some big sprite comic like Bob and George, it's just something silly I decided to do. Also one of the steps (don't mix sprite bitage) isn't going to work for this comic. If someone wants a 32X sprite to repersent themself, well then that's what they get. Luckly this is MSF so it doesn't have to make sense. :P

Don't worry Zeph. I've been making comics like this one for a while, so I know what I'm doing.

*hiss!* Evil sprite comics! ;D

...Hahaha, nice going, Garath XD

If I could do sprites, I'd so send you one to do some random comic like that XD

Given the size and how things look there, I don't think dithering is too much a problem. Then again, I haven't messed with sprites too much after the past year or so. Guess I should try to finish off some of those sheets I had been working on...

Not too bad for starting out really. Better than most that I've seen, and for those that know about sprite comics, that's saying ALOT. A nice, quick, simple gag, and while most people now adays will just about evicerate you for using a two-toned background (no matter how subdued the colors are), I personally say its fine and everyone has to start somewhere.

Besides, sprite backgrounds aren't easy to work with sometimes.
