I fail at making sprites

[Patrick]

This was some stuff I did when I was a freshman in highschool. Thought I'd show off some pixel art I did back then.

Airplanes:

[jute]

The explosion is pretty nice! Were you working with some sort of palette for these?

[Patrick]

If I remember correctly, I think I based it on a sprite from an nes game. I don't really remember, that was 5 years ago.

[Ichor]

1942 I think.

[Technician]

Don't belittle yourself mate because those are significantly good. Allot of dos games didn't have this kind of talent.

[GreyGhost]

They're as good as or better than the sprites in some commercial game ports. Wish I could fail that well.

So true.

[Sharessa]

The huge plane needs a bit more shading I think, but the reast is excellent.

Whaaaaaaaaaa-! It's not THAT bad! Look at my sprites and then look at yours. The shading is nice, and you dither in the right places. I have a bad habit of pillow-shading my sprites.

[leileilol]

I don't like these. Depth-lacking.

[AndrewB]

Sorry but I don't think that these are very realistic. I'm assuming that's what you were going for.

They look better than the sprites in Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer, if i'm remembering my DOS 386 days right.

[Bucket]

You poor disenfranchised youth. My Chuck Yeager on the Commodore 64 was full 3D.

[Patrick]

i have no real interest in spriting, i made these for a programming project I did in freshman year in high school. never got used unfortunately, but hey, if I ever want to make a plane game, they're here. i should redo them ...

Ooh, how interesting. Are you going to remake 1942?

The only Chuck Yeager game I remember was 3-D, and I mean old school 3-D, where everything was little more than single-colored polygons flying around.

I'd say they're plenty impressive for a high school freshman's attempt at pixel art.

[EarthQuake]

And considering he used less than 16 colors...
