Project is halted prior to completion and will not receive further updates.
Looking great! Tenchimaru's portrait edit looks better than mine. His portrait pose kind of resembles Galford for the blue and orange clothing. Still not done with the pain icon for him yet.
 
Y'know I just noticed the shadows. Thank goodness I don't have to draw them like the original arcade game. 😅
 
Sailor Mars is my main ;)
I hope to see her using all the custom anims made for her. The result would be incredible.
Even this air grab from Jam Kuradoberi. I imagine her puting it in the end of some air combo...

Very nice! I still have the hope this big amount of sprites edits find a use in actual game.
I tried to make some original character from them some months ago, but I failed ^^;
This game have beautiful sprites (like most banpresto's games), but the way their colors are managed is a "mess"

Still a beautiful mock-up

Do you mind sending the edit you created to me?

Actually I just designed a single sprite and one kick sprite.
But I had a sheet and folders with various ripped Sailor sprites ready to be edited into one.

The idea is
1-selecting some sprites from different Sailors. (DONE)
2-making them using the same palette (I cannot do it effectively because of banpresto's color management)
3-then customizing the poses to make more different moves
4-adding them to a character.

Do you think you can handle this part "2" for me ?
If so, it means I can make step "3" and it would be anew comer for your game.
And also, it means I can give the customised sprites to @danno if he plan to continue his Night Slashers mod.

Yes, this step 2 would definitely make it possible.

FAKE SHOT of course.

I made some commission work from Luis Chamat years ago. Most of them were crouching sprites. I haven't incorporated them to my sprite sheet in the Discord yet.

Yes, I remember them.
It was a great work from him!
I wish they can find a use. They could be a great resource for my custom Sailor...

So, do you think you can help me with "step 2" ? I'm really not good with color tweaking. @rgveda99
And since you have some experience with sailor sprites management.
 
What I do is just use MS Paint. Use the invert colors function by right clicking. And then use the color palettes of the arcade then edit every pixel manually (Paint Bucket tool really helps here). Sometimes I would cut and paste the original sprite for reference as to not get confused. You have to memorize where those colors are used for. It can be confusing with Moon and Venus when some of the skin colors are used for the hair as well. A few of the colors on the skirt are used for the gloves like Jupiter and Mars. I used to have those color palettes catalogued to which body part, hair or clothing they are used for from the start. In the end I ended up finding out Gazelle just uses 15 separate individual colors.

This is why I rarely frankensprite anymore from the same characters of the same game. It's very limited. Sprite editing is really about making mistakes on purpose and correcting them.

I just checked my videos on Trovo. They're all gone. I'll have to stream again.
 
Hello @danno and @oldyz ,
As you know in the past I ripped Pinocchio from Night Slashers thanks to @oldyz submission of the Pinnochio title set to grab the missing animations. I would like to request the tiles for the Werewolf and Kat so I can rip their entrance from the door (Dracula's stage for Kat and the final elevator stage for the Werewolf) I will submit it here.

THanks for explaining it.
My method is quite similar, so I'm not sure I would do it that well.
I don't really frankensprite from different Sailors, more like using different animations from different Sailors and put them into one.
But the problem is sometimes because of color optimization, the clothes ribbon is shared with hair or not, Venus even have a blue ribbon in front and Orange in back...
+the mess of the shared color of hair and skin...
Not easy. Particularly considering this color work is just 1 step before the real work ^^.
thanks anyway.
 
You might be having difficulty because you're not enjoying what you're doing especially when spriting is all about problem solving that requires multiple disciplines. It's like math but using your instincts instead of a formula.

I also suggest playing music you really love to hear over and over again. I played Dua Lipa's Levitating for hours just last year. Right now I'm enjoying spriting with Girl's Generation. Sometimes I even tried classical music.
 
EDIT : My message is not that important or interesting. ^^;
