Man..., I'm seriously impressed with Shinjanji's abilities. To be able to do that kind of work
using the paint attributes alone, blows me away.

In Paint Shop Pro X, I have [Raster] & [Vector] layers, which one would you recommend that I use, as I'm trying to follow your instructions.

Raster layers. Vectors won't work for this particular application.
Though, if you could accurately vectorize the entire sprite and have it look perfect, then you could scale it to WHATEVER resolution you wanted, with no loss in quality (Though you would need to re-add some details)
But I'm seriously suggesting AGAINST using vectors. Just stay with the raster imagery, like the original
EDIT:
EDIT2:
1. Knowledge of my medium. I've been using Photoshop since version 5.5.
2. My tools. I have a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet. [link] I could only afford the 4"x5" though.
3. Artistic experience. I'm FAR from the best, but I can draw more than just stick figures. [http://shinjanji.deviantart.com/]

EDIT:
Yeah, I totally forgot the upper teeth. I noticed that yesterday, but I'll fix that once I go back and work on the sprite more. When that'll be, I don't know.Vader wrote:I've to admit that this looks quite good!
IMO the teeth could need some more work though...

I tried to follow your tips but can't seem to get anywhere near close to the results you've posted. If you can assist me by providing step-by-step pics of your process (you can start by doing something small like the health bonus or something), I can help you finish this stuff and who knows, it might turn into a complete sprite set or something.
I'm using a Graphire 4, by the way.
