[Beta] Contra Doom b06 - Wanted: Player skins

[VriskaSerket]

I'm trying to figure how to scale it to the proper shotgun size but GIMP2 always ruins it each time. Damn my luck.

Hmm, it is true. I can manage to keep the edges pixel-y but the inside details become smooth in Photoshop...

I'll do some research to see if I can fix it, if you all deem it necessary.
In my opinion, as it is it's pretty usable, it doesn't have to be an exacy replica, right?
I also provided an alternate color for those who prefer blue-ish metals like me:

I tried my best, hope i'm contributing something good to this project.

pretty looking good so far, but it sure needs a lot's of hands to be refined, though. well, sorry if i'm helpless right now.

Not bad at all, certainly cleaner than what I could've done. I wasn't even expecting people to like my design.

I think mike12's assault rilfe is a good one.

That one looks fairly decent. If it could be "converted" into a pixelated 16-bit style, it would be awesome.

I think I may have figured out how to make a 16-bit style.

But I went too far and made it 8-bit.


At least I do believe I am on the right track.

[nickcaibua]

Uhmm,do you mean like this?

[Captain J]

nice work, but pretty looks like a DOS or genesis game palette.

10/10 top tier.
Tell me your secrets, I want to turn a few things into 16-bit style too, but I don't quite know how.

[nickcaibua]

I create 1 (or maybe more) posterize layer in photoshop,adjust the levels and change blend mode to color dodge or dissolve.That's all Hope this may help you.

Thanks bro, I'll try it out!

Wasn't the Genesis 16-bit anyways?

EDIT:

So hey! I decided to do something 200% cheap and just fuse my crap-tier 8-bit sprite with Nickcaibua's 16-bit version
It's not as low-quality as my 8-bit version, yet not as detailed as the 16-bit, it's right in the middle in the quality department.

Just to offer an alternative.

I also snuck some blue metal again

[Captain J]

regardless they have same bit limitation, but that doesn't mean they are all same; to me, SNES is always bright and mild. but genesis is darker and rough.

for more information, check this out.

Time to breathe some life into this again.

Heh, I was asking myself yesterday when the patches to play Valiant with gameplay mods would start rolling out. I took a crack and look at seeing what all needed to be edited/deleted in the DeHacked file before I saw how involved it was, went nope.jpg, and quit. :v

Definitely going to have to give this a go especially since I'm a Contra fan. C:
