Bubble-Man No Constancy can be acquired in the No Constancy skin pack. See the Halloween and Christmas expansion packs to acquire Halloween-Man and Ignorance, respectively. You don't want the Kirby's Adventure skins. Unholy skins are staying in Unholy.

Also, yeah, I know all the image previews are broken. Imageshack thought it was a good idea to start charging for image uploads and all. Trust me, these old skins aren't good and you don't want 'em.

Um, I know it may seem a bit confusing, but the Skin's threads have their own subforum. You're one block down from it.

Anyway, on the subject of the skin itself, I'd be lying if I said that this didn't come to mind. However, er...I strongly suggest against bright colored mustache&hair. It makes him look hideous. I know his mustache changed color in-game, so try going for the darker colored one. And you could leave his eyes as black as well, because those changing color makes him look very unnatural. (even more-so than he already is with his constant changing hair color.)

Finally, a critique! I thought this place was usually booming with activity.

I'm more than aware of that, but since all of what's here is theoretical/blueprints (No Download Link) , and it covers more than just skins, I decided to post in non-specifically.

I thought about that for a while, but I thought I was limited to the same number of different colors of the NES--I really should've known better. I'll revise it so it only changes his sleeve color.

But while this is very helpful and all, the most important thing is that I get my questions answered. In addition, is there any chance I could see the templates for pre-existing characters? Is there, like, a post anywhere for the original roster? 'Cause seeing some of those would speed along the production of other skins.

EDIT: Thar we go, easy edit. New version uploaded to OP.

I missed where you said that. Take a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=475

First post shows Mega Man and Proto Man. Megaman with the Template, Protoman with examples. They both should help you out.

As for the sprites you have down, That does look better. But in all the sprites but the Right ones, Mario doesn't have enough hair. Going down, you should still be able to see a few pixels of his hair behind his ears. Right front is probably the worst, as he looks bald. Also, make his hat a pixel or two longer in the back, it looks cut off. Right Back, he has a big bald spot on the back of his head. His hair goes down to his neck in his Right sprites, so it should here, too. Same for back. Also, in Right back, his nose should be visible.

That's all I gotta say for now.

I actually hadn't said that yet--it hadn't come to mind until then.

That's all good and all, but I'm actually after Punk and Ice-Man in particular. I presume they'd be in the link he has there, but it says I don't have the authority to access that page. Troubling...

Done, done, and done--I may not be very good at this, but, hey, I'm a kid with a computer and a serious case of boredom, and I'm always eager to improve.

He needs a black outline or at least some black on every rotation for Roboenza and Atomic Fire.

I was wondering about that--Wow, I say that a lot--I was considering asking about a black outline, but I thought it wasn't that important. Should be done in the next 5 minutes.

EDIT: Still not done yet, but I don't think he looks good with a black outline. I'll color his eyes and mustache black.

All right, it's all filed up...I hope I get something that looks good soon, I wanna move on.

Kind-of bump, kind-of revive, kind-of call for attention, I dunno.

His walking animations look kinda awkward, get ready to laugh when you look in the mirror, but here he is--SMB1 Mario. Since this is only a one-page topic now, I'll ask you to scroll up to download.

Lio · « **Reply #8 on:** January 29, 2011, 05:12:25 AM »

Even though I've already seen the sprites myself, I think some screenshots would be nice. It helps people know what they're downloading, and personally I don't usually download anything without knowing how it looks like.

Other than that, I love the skin. It reminds me of those times I used to play SMB Deluxe on my Gameboy. Racing that Boo sure was fun.

Is that how you were introduced to the series, too? Fun times...I find it kind of sad to look back and see how many times I died on World 1-1, when I now leave with more than I started.

Fun times. Anywho, another bump coming up here--I downloaded Mega Man Rocks! recently. It's pretty fun, and it has great music. So, even though I don't have permission yet, I've made a music pack for it.
Download Here!

No responses, huh? You know, it feels kind of silly to be crying out for attention constantly like this...

Whatever, I'll stop it with the stalling. Two things; first, I got permission from the maker to use his material. Two, and this is more of a reference for me, since I have to access from multiple computers, but...
LOOK WHAT I FOUND:

He was nice enough to give me all of the Masters and weapon palettes. As a long-term project, I hope to create a skin for each one, and, since sound effects and sprites are now at the ready, I may use a couple of these as weapon-making practice.

As with all of my skins, I am here to post the sprites here for critique before I begin programming. I decided to start with Snow-Man, as he is the easiest to make walking animations for, and that tends to be what I struggle with.

Kapus · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2011, 04:03:30 AM »

the 6x4 sprites look rather clunky. Might want to fool around with those.

Also, the treads on the 7x3 sprites are too small.

Korby · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2011, 05:23:42 AM »

That looks pretty great! However, there isn't much different from his side pose head and his front/r pose.
His treads on back/r look awkward.
The shovel isn't wide enough on Front or Back, and it doesn't seem tall enough in the side pose.

Also, yeah, his treads aren't long enough in his side pose.

I really don't know what to do about that, but whatever.

I kinda fixed the treads, now they're more like the other frames.

If I widen the front plow any more, walking won't be visible, but I did fix the back.

I added a few more pixels to the side plow.

I didn't see much wrong with his side view--you can't really see tank treads from the side, but I did kinda fix it up.

Here's the new model. As always, after one day without opinions, I'll begin making it.
