Jappio's (Supposedly Awesome) Splices and Captace Region

[shinjiniisan]

You know the basics,you have a lots of sprites,plus you are one of the few people that can sprite 4 pokemon together and don't look cramped

[Alliance]

^Captain Obvious.

Anyway, your sprites are simply amazing. You know how to perfectly synchronize two Pokemon so they appear new and beautiful. I... Just... Wow. *round of applause*

[Jappio]

Glad you all like them guys.

Well I'm loving W/B a lot. Now that I've been able to pull myself away from it I can work on some splices. Oh and I officially am working with 5th gen guys now that I know what they all are. Their sprites are cool and have some cool potential, but the different shading style is going to take awhile to get use to. Mixing 5th gen with anything else before it will be difficult probably thanks to that.

Here are some over-worlds I'm working on for a friend's RPGmaker game. Although I suppose that isn't all too important.

The little fox boy is a character of my friend, Red Ryu. The big guy is of course my usual Raizou guy.

The sprites are based/styled after some of the generic sprites from RPG maker.

It's you!! I remember seeing your toadette sprite on the internet ages ago, I thought it was so cool! Keep up the good work!

[Jappio]

Hey look, some Fakemon I either made or remade for a contest! Yipee!

[Plat. Frontier]

Here's what I have to say about one sprite, and ONE sprite only:

The Umbreon Cosplay made me LMFAO.

EDIT: I looked at your other sprites, and you should open your own spriting shop.

[PinkPalkia]

Hello, I just wanted to say that I adore your creations, especially that Giratina and Salamence~ I just drew my own hand drawn splice on paper and you've just inspired me to recreate it on MSPaint. ^^

[Lucas.G]

I like allmost all of them, they are VERY VERY VERY GOOD!

[Jappio]

No need for a shop, as I don't have time to scratches for people, and I already take requests here.

Well I finished up some PokeWorld sprites and have learned a little palette editing finally.

Very interesting. Some of them need a bit more shading to get more depth, but on the whole very good.

I know it's been a bit, but some time ago I mentioned how I was working on a scratching tutorial. Well I finally took the time to go back to that in finish up a sort of intro. Now this isn't the finished product. Before I move onto the real meat and bones I wanted to sort of post this video and see what you guys think, a rough draft.

There's some extra fluff and added images in this intro just because I don't have anything to show off otherwise. Less padding will be in the actual learning videos since I'll have the actual sprite making to show off.

So any comments or tips will be appreciated. Hopefully the other parts won't be as difficult to edit as this one so they can get done in a timely manner.

-------------------------------

Oh and I did some work with some Fakemon. Some of this isn't new, but a few tweaks here and there.

[Jappio]

Put together part 2 of the scratching tutorial. Still not up to the true meat and bones yet, but it's getting there. All useful info I feel though.

Of course any comments are appreciated. I'd rather know something is wrong with my teaching method now rather than later.

New part for the Fakemon tutorial.

I promise, next video there will actually be some Fakemon creation. Yet all this side stuff is very important stuff I assure you.

Those are so good!!!

More Scratch Tutorial:

In this segment we start creating our sprite. We create our shape and lines and various details. Part 5, Coloring and Shading, will hopefully be up soon. I have voice and video recorded, need to edit it together though and fix stuff up.

Also been jumping around recording software, so this video will probably seem different than the others. Feel free to let me know what you think.

The Mega Man Legends series is one close to my heart. After 10 years of waiting for the Legends 3, I was happy to hear it was in developement. Yet now Capcom has canceled it and I want to do my part in fighting for it to come back.

So I made a little sprite image. Mega Man combined with Gurren Lagann? Surely something awesome can convince Capcom to again continue to make it!

Row row, fight the powah!



Data was some scratching. Mega Man and his Giga Drill are sprite overs from the show. I was lazy with the background and just used the background from the Ace Attorney games (Think of that laziness as just a way to show my support for another Capcom screw up, not localizing Investigations 2 =P)

So if your a fan of the Legends series, Mega Man, would be awesome 3DS games, or stopping corporations from killing off great franchises, you should all join the fight! There's a Facebook group getting people. We're already past 37,000 people, and we're always growing.

Let's just say I really think this can work. I've seen smaller fan gatherings get things done. This could mean the future of Mega Man, and who doesn't love the blue bomber?

[Jappio]

I have finally done it. I have finished the spriting tutorial.

This is it, every video.

I will reiterate, you should watch all parts. The main meat I will admit are in parts 4 and 5, but useful information is in each, all of which can help you become a better spriter.

Hopefully with this out of the way, I can go back to my casual spriting since this wont' be looming over my now.

[Jappio]

Here, have some new splices. Well one of them is a couple months old since it was for a contest, but the rest are new.



Ever since I stopped receiving requests for splices, these sheets have been looking so puny. I suppose it isn't a surprise though. Why request something from someone when they won't get to it for quite some time.

Now I must make the tough choice of working on Fakemon, Super Poke World, or one of my many other projects to work on....

Who am I kidding. It's probably going to be something pointless and stupid, because actually finishing projects is for chumps who aren't lazy!
