Program used<\/strong>: Paint Tool SAI 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our vertical slice, we wanted a tutorial in the Hubworld with the God of Gravity giving you powers. Parker already had one sprite, but I had to redraw it (like I did with Eta). I also did five poses for the Lord, which will alternate depending on what they’re saying in the dialogue box. Hopefully, this will be accompanied by sound effects.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. The main part was tracing all of that before I started to draw the different parts of the Lord. It was fairly easy, as I was just making sure this art stayed as close to the original as possible. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    2. I then started making folders and separating the Lord’s lifted (arm raised) and normal (arm down) states. This was a tedious process as I had to ensure both states were coherent. During this part, I drew the electricity in the body and head by drawing yellow squiggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. After I was done, I cleaned up the sprite slightly and added the gradient effects. This is also when my personal Hell began… When drawing the sprites, I decided I wanted to make them into a GIF to give the effect of the electricity pulsating through the Lord’s body. I ran into so many problems, such as the layers stacking, and forgetting the layer meant for the corresponding GIF Number. I also had to make sure the Lord’s lifted state and normal state had the same gradient colours, so I had to keep tinkering with SAI 2’s Gradient tool.<\/p>\n\n\n

    What I learnt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • I have 200% more respect for Visual Novel Creators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Creating Spritesheets is relaxing when you know what you’re doing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • I hate doing multiple-character poses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Making GIFs for multiple poses is TEDIOUS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
