2 HATS. SPOILERS. ACT SIX SECRET.

since feli mentioned me by name i feel like that means i simply must share my own receipts for the eye thing. if the eye thing is what i become known for in this fandom i will TAKE IT.

THERES SPRITE EDITS UNDER THE CUT.

here are their eyes normally. unedited.

here are their eyes flipped upside down! the loop one is admittedly not my best work shhh. but uh! hm!! looks pretty similar!!!

aaand here are their eyes swapped and flipped!!! wild how that works.

i am so normal. about the eye thing. i came up with it like. either late act 2 or early act 3???? because they both had such distinct eyes!!! and! and after lookin at loop for long enough i was like 'oh! their eyes are kind of like! a flipped version of sifs!' and THEN i was like 'are loops eyes. different colours???' and i took a screenshot and colourpicked their eyes to make sure i wasnt! making things up!

and anyways the eyes thing was not the Only thing that fuled my 'these are the same guy' theory in my playthrough but it was sure a PART of it. im normal. im. yeah.

[lesters-houseofaus]

did some...okay sprite edits based on if the proposed heirs looked like their predecessors. essentially, what they look like in the beast heirs au :

and the explanations are below!!!

Milkshake (Ice Juggler) Cookie – Changed the right eye colour to match the eyes of Shadow Milk Cookie, as well as giving her a simalar marking to their predecessor.

Maejap-gwa (Vagabond) Cookie – Addad a slit pupil and altered the hair. Also added designs similar to the petals lotus that Mystic Flour Cookie is often depicted sitting atop of on the bottom of his pants.

Pink Sherbert (Princess) Cookie – Made her hairclip things into halves of butterflies to match the wing headband that Eternal Sugar has. Also added more shiny bits to the hair and small pinkish-purple eyelashes. Also added the hair bits that her predecessor has.

Capascin Cookie – barely any changes. Hair is slightly more curly, and the horns have some extra branches to match the red hair thing that Burning Spice Cookie has on the front of their head.

Salt and Pepper (Mercurial Knight) Cookie – light blue gems swapped for purple to match Silent Salt's colour scheme. More hair streaks added to imbue the salt and pepper of his (made up) namesake, and little bits of purple in the eyes.

THE EVENT ENDS ON THE NINTH.

This version of the post has more details than the promo.

Welly welly well! I meant to do this at 250 followers but here we are at 261 followers and I finally get time and effort to make an event! Welcome one and all to the WISHBOX EVENT! Those of you who will have followed since almost the blog’s beginning two years ago (261 followers in almost two years? Woah.) will have a very vague memory of this event. In fact you won’t remember at all. So allow me to refresh your memories.

The wishbox event is a very special requesting event. You see, prompt lists don’t draw in enough people for me, and neither do event contests. People just don’t really wanna edit when I ask them to for an event! So instead of them doing things for me, why not let them kickback a little and send things over to me instead… but with a twist.

Wishboxes are on the surface a simple idea. Someone sends in a ‘wishbox’ with a character they like, or a ship. If they want no kin/ID they can still specify that, no need to worry. But here’s the thing. They do not ask for a specific aesthetic, themes or even the edit type! That’s where it gets fun. I use a wheel to randomise what edit type they will receive and, if it happens to be certain types, also roll for an aesthetic!

NOTE FROM MOD CIAMKOM: Wishboxes roll every edit type except for positivity, sprite edits and palette swaps. Everything else is a possibility. Furthermore an aesthetic will be chosen for every edit type except for the obvious (playlists, manga colourings should the character be from a manga, renders, shufflemancies, dash icons, gif icons and stamps). For playlists, a music genre will be chosen instead.

This event will be going on from now until June 9, where there will be a second part of the event. Yes. You heard me right. A second part.

My DNI and blacklist still apply. Normal requests still open.

Was asked about the Cave Story transition effect, wether or not it can work on the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis, here's an attempt at it.

Read more for an indepth explanation why this isn't so easy and why it still looks weird:

So the backstory was that, as I was watching someone play a bit of this Cave Story homebrew for the Mega Drive, we've noticed that all transitions were palette fades rather than the usual Diamond effect, and so I explained why the effect is much harder to pull off than one would expect it:

This is the animation itself, 16 frames in length repeated for the whole screen, rather simple and something you might(?) expect from an older game but in reality it's a lot more difficult to pull off.

If it were a 8x8 sized animation, this wouldn't be a big issue, you'd just write over every single tile in VRAM for the tileset and fill it in, no problem, Streets of Rage does this in the credits sequence and title as a fade in.

But since we're dealing with a 16x16 pattern, we cna't do this, at least not without curating the tilemap to be friendly for such an effect, which would limit map editing a lot.

So we have another choice, which is to sacrifice one of the available layers for the transition alone. One could sacrifice one of the tilemap layers but unless the other layer's already filling the screen, this would be too noticeable. One could fade the colours for that layer in particular and then overwrite it with the tiles, but ya may as well be doing a full fade at that point, especially if you're intending to use more than one palette for the layers... so i went with an even worse solution: Sprites.

As it turns out, you can just barely fit an entire screen with just sprites, the biggest size you can have is 32x32 and it takes 80 of them to fill the entire 320x224 (NTSC) / 320x240 (PAL) screen area.

The sprite limit is exactly 80 sprites so the sprite table will be filled up with just the transition effect alone.

Now one might think "Hey, the sprite limit for any given horizontal line is 20 sprites and it only takes 10 sprites to fill the screen horizontally, can't we just move the sprites vertically every 32nd scanline? I thought of that too! but there's unfortunately another limit, a Sprite pixel limit.

You can only have 320px of sprites at any given horizontal line, meaning even with free slots, there are too many sprites already on screen so this isn't going to work, there's no way around it.

Now, one could swap between a 16x16 sized version during the start and swap to the 32x32 sized ones after hitting the threshhold to bypass this issue... quite honestly I didn't think of that at the time, it would halve the px limit and should make it near seamless, definitely something I'd like to workshop in the future!

Sure, all sprites will disappear halfway through the transition, but at that point most of the view will already be blocked by the effect so you're ideally not going to notice this happening.

EDIT : Only now am I told that Cave Story has different kinds of transitions depending on doorways and such, maybe giving me more than just the file for the transition for context for someone who didn't grow up playing Cave Story would be nice x.x

Awawawawa! More Touhou art! And more palette swaps!!!

This is a fun piece. I haven't had a lot of spoons for drawing for a while but I've been whittling away at this over the span of over a month, and I'm proud of how it turned out!

This was partly inspired by this post, but funnily enough I only remembered it after I'd done a lot of work on this piece's sketch. Sakuya has learned what oxygen is at least twice throughout Touhou, and personally I think she's just fucking with people. Coupling that with Reimu's more surly attitude and overworkedness felt fundamentally right to me. They would totally do this.

My bestie @banmitbandit also helped me out when I couldn't figure out what to do with Reimu's head angle and facial expression so give them a thanks! Go into their askbox and say "thanks", do it now!

I also wanted to do palette swaps again! I freaking love palette swaps, I want to make that my whole brand at this point. The second image is based off of their alt costumes in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, the rest of Sakuya's are from Hisoutensoku, which I actually downloaded just so I could get a better look at the sprites. The pictures on the Touhou Wiki don't actually show Sakuya's braids or her eye colour so I had to go straight to the source. Her appearance is remeniscent of Remilia, Youmu, and maybe Flandre?

Reimu's appearance in the third image is more or less a straight translation of one of her alts from that game, it's very similar to Sanae, who I don't know that much about but seems to be something of a foil to Reimu. The other two alts of her I made myself! One is supposed to look like Marisa, the other is just that I saw a pink alt of Reimu from Antinomy of Common Flowers (by the way, I had no idea before that Sakuya wasn't in that game! That feels so weird!) and I wanted to do something cool with pink! I like pink, I think it's the best colour. I was thinking of doing more, but actually I kind of borked up the whole process with the coloured lines on Reimu's outfit, merged it with the regular lines layer, and also hit that layer with a gaussian blur making it *very* difficult to edit it and the lines. Marisa Reimu and Pink Reimu's lines were very involved, I had to make multiple correction layers to change the colours. If you notice, Reimu's eyebrow on the first image is different (and IMO better) than the others, that's also because I wasn't watching and holding onto my layers properly.

I'm still super proud of this piece! Art is inherently good to create, and though I can't do much at the moment but rest, I'm proud I could get this in there a little at a time.I hope you have a safe weekend! Much love! <3

Mario’s Photo Studio

JP release: 2nd December 1998

NA release: N/A

PAL release: N/A

Developer: Nintendo, Datt, Fuji, Tokyo Electron

Publisher: Tokyo Electron

Original Name: Mario no Photopi

N64 Magazine Score: N/A

Mario’s Photo Studio (or Mario no Photopi) is a photo editing software for the N64 that was exclusive to Japan. It used a special cartridge that had slots to insert SecureMedia cards, which were presumably popular with digital camera in Japan at the time. In terms of emulation, there’s no way to load photos in to the game without the actual physical cartridge (even using an EverDrive on real hardware), however a modified version has been made that lets you test out the features without opening images.

The main part is editor. Here you can load images and manipulate them. You can add different layers, draw and add some renders of characters from Super Mario 64. Some of the menus also use sprites from Yoshi’s Story. Another feature lets you create a slideshow, and another saves your creations in a format to use in Fuji prating machines found in stores.

There’s a minigame that cuts up an image into squares and you have to put it back together by clicking two to swap them. However, it’s not as simple as it initially looks as swapping two will also flip them, so you have to get them in the right place and the right orientation. You can use the title screen image or (if you have the actual cartridge) load your own photo in to the game.

Mario’s Photo Studio is fairly basic software, built around the editing of photos to make fun postcards rather than an artist’s tool (the 64DD games are for that). If you wanted to do some basic things to photos and didn’t own a PC, this would have provided that service.

Adventurous artists can use the software to create ‘original postcards’, add text (Japanese and English), and then take it along to any FDI photostore (Fuji) to run off exclusive colour prints.

- Max Everingham, N64 Magazine #20

Remake or remaster?

This is just an interesting novelty.

Official Ways to get the game

There is no official way to get Mario’s Photo Studio

Why did you decide to have peko in her hopes peak uniform instead of colour swapping her?

Unfortunately, Peko was the one I had the most trouble with when it came to recolors/edits. I tried various colors in different places, but sadly none of them meshed well with either her design or the rest of the cast. It made her seem off in a way I felt didn’t fit with the story. Her base design is just, for lack of better words, too balanced to edit the way I was hoping to. 

That’s when I went exploring. I figured if I couldn’t make an edit I could be okay with, I’d see if there were free-to-use-with-credit ones first that I could potentially use (like how there’s some for Mukuro out there without her disguise you’ll see in Fangans). If I couldn’t find any, then I’d see if there were any artists I could commission to make sprite edits for Peko that would fit with the rest of the cast. It would have put the Fangan on hold for a while, but I was willing to do it if it meant Peko got her chance to be in the cast and on equal footing with the rest. 

That’s when I came across the Hope’s Peak sprite edits created by  XxGoldMadnessxX, and when I compared them to both the rest of the edits as well as the overall plan I have for Peko in this Fangan, it felt like the best choice for her. That’s why she’s in her Hope’s Peak uniform. 

Going forward, there will also be sprites made via commissions for other characters. I’m currently working with brokemarin over on instagram (who is an absolute joy to work with) for some sprites for someone who will appear at the end of the prologue. 

Every time I use sprites that I either did not make or that I commissioned to have made, I will always link back to the original artist where they appear. If you see a sprite edit and the source isn’t listed, that’ll be one that I made.

Requests Are Open + Updates!

hello, everyone! requests are open once again and we have a couple updates to include too.

we decided to re-open sprite edit requests. 

we previously had them open, but we became burnt out. we’re starting to feel more motivated for sprite edit requests, so we’re reopening them.

now, we’d like to clarify this. we’ll most likely reject anything too complicated (completely new outfit/hair, etc), but anything else is all good! we’ve been doing redesigns and colour swaps and such, but this now opens up what we can do for you all.

we added a new source: overlord!

we watched this anime recently and it is. incredibly good. so, we’ve decided to add it to our ‘other sources’ section of our rentry! we did add it a bit ago, hence the overlord!albedo layout, but we thought it’d be nice to announce it properly.

we also added some new things to our whitelist!

pokemon: penny, tulip, larry, atticus, grusha

overlord: shalltear, albedo, demiurge

thank you all for your continued support. we’re about 15 followers away from 400, which is absolutely crazy to think about. what do you think we should do for it? we’ll do a poll once we hit it!

every kitty maid barry sprite i have worked on so far

this post will be long

fig 1: tiny little sprite sheet (not to actual sprite scale)

thoughts:

Barry's dress was decently easy to sprite as it is essentially a palette swap with a skirt and a few other details. the skirt was a bit tricky to figure out, i originally wanted it to be a more straight/flat kind of dress, but it didn't turn out too well so i decided to give him a more frilly and detailed skirt. i loosely referenced the princess' dress in episode 1 of the DTM series. i was thinking about keeping his sleeves ripped but the little short white sleeves were too cute to pass up ^w^

also wanted to remove the tie but i thought it looked nice and fit really well with the colours, so i kept it

this is lifted from one of KoolTimYT's sprite edits, like the tail and ears and the blush colour, though the dress and bows are completely original art

those shrugging sprite were actually really tricky to edit, the first two were fine as the only real difference was Barry's head perspective and it being a singular pixel down in position, but the other two were kinda hard as i not only needed to sprite an unseen area of Barry's dress, but i realised the arms had a singular pixel difference so i needed to go back and fix that. also spriting a slightly different sleeve and trying to figure out the other positionings in general

spriting Barry's kitty nyah gesture hands was also a little tricky but i got a hang of it and i think i did a pretty decent job at it :)

those separate sprites with just his arms and the bows up in the corner was mainly for me to have extra assets to use in case i fuck up but i think they could be useful for anyone else to use

the pink bows were for the first kitty Barry edit i did where i was gonna give him a super colourful pink dress/suit

by the way i make all of these sprites in MS Paint and add transparency in Paint.net by magic-wanding away the unnecessary white spaces (why is unnecessary spelled like that i have had the hardest time trying to spell that stupid word for as long as i can remember what the fuck) (i guess you could say the stupid extra letters are unnecessary why is there a C???)

fig 2: the first sprites

thoughts:

so the one on the right was made as a complete joke when i saw KoolTim's sprite and i internally went "haha but what if he like being a cat" and gave him the bows because i thought they looked cute

as mentioned before i was gonna make him a pink dress, but the black one looked better. so i was gonna give him pink and yellow socks but they looked out of place and just made 'em white.

just realised..... spamton socks..............

the early "nyah!!" sprite kinda looks like those lucky cats that wave their paw you know the ones

really glad i gave Barry the dress because the look really pulls everything together real nicely

yeah not much to say about these ones moving on

fig 3: beta unused do not research

thoughts:

so the first one on the left is me trying to figure out which skirt type to use when i realised i wanted to use black instead of pink. obviously it didn't look very good. also just a sidenote the reason the outline is grey is because i often use a grey colour when spriting or "sketching" over a sprite, basically it's not finalised

the second one is me trying to get a look at how the dress fits on the shrugging sprite which is why it looks messed up

the other two are the same i think i don't know why there's 2

floating cat ear my beloved

these are a bit unsettling

fig 4: colour palette guide feat. my grapheme-colour synesthesia

thoughts:

self explanatory. sometimes colour picking directly from a sprite over and over can be tricky so it's good to have a neat little colour guide on hand for any spriter

the white had black around it because i drew this is MS Paint where the base colour is, you guessed it, white

yes i know the little coloured letters are ugly, blame my brain for going "but what if we colour these in the way you see letters" and me for agreeing with my brain ignore that pretend it's not there

speaking of synesthesia: R is green. you cannot argue with me on this. R is a green letter and i will die on that hill it's just so,,, green looking

may update this in the futore thankyou for looking at these

[kitty-sprite-edits]
