Joey 9 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 When you mention ROM, I am taking it for granted that you mean on the Visual Boy Advance. Also, may I remind users, that if you download a ROM for the Visual Boy Advance, you are supposed to own the game, or it is an illegal download. Pretty cool sprite, CJ, I've never played the game, however. To be honest, even though its true, its basically too small of a thing for anybody to care much about it...So yeah, nothing bad will ever happen, lol.

Marked 197 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 Okay Cjboy, there's a couple of things that are required before becoming a spriting teacher. -The most important is being able to teach a method. Even if you're the best spriter, but cannot explain how you do it, then its pointless becoming a teacher. -The sprites should have some relevance to RMXP or RMVX. In the case of teaching a shading method, it's not necessary. The main function of spriting is charactersets(not battlers, unless they are animated), so your tutorials/assignments should develop skills in spriting charactersets. Also icons and tilesets. You mentioned before you don't know how to spritesheets yet? -The program you teach in must be a common or free program. Chief mentioned graphicsgale before, I would recommend using it for your tutorials. I don't know anything about the program you said you were learning in, but I would recommend switching for your classes to the more common programs to make your tutorials more attractive to beginning spriters. -you must be dedicated to your position, this is a commitment. The most important thing is that you can teach methods. I don't particularly care how good the sprites look. I would recommend looking through some of these tutorials to help you learn a few of these methods: http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/links.asp?id=2192 Finally, if you're still keen on becoming a spriting teacher, I will set you a task and you will have to make me a sprite. It will most likely be the first frame of a characterset, sprited from a description I give or a reference picture I find. I will also call on some trusted staff members to assist in the judging of your spite, to keep things as fair as possible for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomo2000 60 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 This shall be interesting, now won't it? I had something like the same to me except for that it was to do with eventing. Also, Marked it right, it is important that you can teach a method. Also, if you are trying to teach people to an expert level, I believe that there should be a very in-detailed course that teaches you from the rank of "WTF IS SPRITING!!!1!one" to "Im the best and nothing can stand in my way except CJBoy :D ". I've also got an idea for you that I am also using. For people that do challenges, such as on the old eventing area, that they can go up a rank and that rank is notified by a PM with a userbar-type thing with their rank of spriting on it. They would also be accompanied by a small picture on the userbar. A lower-rank would have a small, semi-pathetic sprite while the experts have a really super-ultra-mega impressive one. Hope some of these idea's help. ~Tomo2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 PM me when you're ready for your task. Kind in mind it must be near RTP standard, and it will be the a character(just 1 frame). But make sure you're ready and you can do the task. Tomo, if you're still interested in being an eventing teacher, please PM me again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
