#credit to spriters resource for the sprite

[alluvial-asymbiosis]

The sprites of the latter Touhou games (except for th19) are probably made by resizing one of the full portraits of a given character, and then animated by editing the already tiny sprite.

This could also be the case for the older games, because all characters have at least one sprite where they are in the exact same pose as their portrait, but the fact that there are a few exceptions - like Lyrica in th07 - makes me think that ZUN did redraw them when making sprites. At least in most cases, anyways, because there's still some that are too detailed and could have been resized portraits, like Yukari's

Credits to The Spriters Resource and @touhou-memories for extracting these assets from the games.

redraw of a Youmu sprite I really like

*throws this sprite edit at you*

Don't think too hard about it I know it looks janky, okay!!

(edit: forgot to mention that I found the transparent sprite off of the Spriter's Resource. It was uploaded by Arcafa, so credit to them for making my life easier!)

Here's some footage of a project I worked on for a while.

I don't really intend to do much of anything with this, I mostly wanted to make it for practice and as a proof of concept. The idea of a "Mario And Luigi And Sonic" Game is one that is thrown around a lot but I have never quite seen someone actually attempt to execute it in any meaningful manner, it's always just box art or something. And I had a bit of free time on my hands, so I threw this together. I never quite got around to polishing this or anything, and it's still far from complete. (There is no Syrup, and the enemies cannot die. Lol.)

Hesokuri Wars Archive Masterpost:

Hi, guys! Hope you've had a good, or at least somewhat decent, 2023. I can't believe it's been well over a year since Hesokuri Wars officially shut down. Time really flies, doesn't it?

Despite how long it's been, I've been feeling a little nostalgic for this franchise lately. As much as this blog ended up neglecting its duties during the year leading up to the game's shutdown, I kind of want to make up for that by helping with its preservation. Others have already committed to doing so, but I think it'll help a few people if there was a single post consolidating everyone's efforts, so here we go:

Basic / General:

The Osomatsu-san AU Fandom Wiki has a page dedicated to listing the various Hesokuri Wars AUs, all of which have their own wiki pages with images

Tumblr user @/denkimystery has a pretty extensive catalog of information related to the Denki Mystery AU in Hesokuri Wars, including but not limited to a basic run-down of the characters, translations of the character descriptions / event stories / attraction buildings, and a timeline of the overarching story

Added 12/3/2023: Another good wiki to use is the Hesokuri Wars Wiki on Gamerch, though it's (possibly?) incomplete and in Japanese (credit to @/snowimatsu for providing!)

Sprites / Assets:

Added 12/3/2023: Another rather comprehensive (unsure if complete) catalog of character sprite assets uploaded to The Spriters Resource by user Biggest_Chungus (credit to @/snowimatsu for providing!)

Event Stories:

Added 12/4/2023: Tumblr user @/ngmatsu has translations of some of the older events (2016 - 2019), as well as some miscellaneous information on other sets provided via asks

BGM / Music:

Another playlist of most(?) of the songs courtesy of Tumblr user @/doctorjoshua64 (original post)

Added 12/3/2023: The downloadable soundtrack to the 2019 Hesokuri Wars CD soundtrack uploaded to KHInsider by user @/Stanky_Cat (credit to @/snowimatsu for providing!)

If anyone else knows of any other links that serve as a catalog and/or archive of anything Heso-related, please let me know!

In an alternative universe where Earthbound 64 and Super Mario RPG 2 merged development

I'm supposing in the context of this version, the Star Spirits serve as the guardians of the needles instead, but instead of vanishing they are freed upon each needle? And maybe you encounter the Masked Man much more often as a result.

Don't ask why Lucas has Goombario as his partner tho lol, too lazy to make a custom partner even though partners based on chimeras would be cute.

Paper Mario assets other than character sprites are a lot harder to come by than Undertale, probably because of its use of 3d backgrounds, so I had to edit screenshots I took from a playthrough to make these. Things aren't gonna look perfect and resolution is low as a result unfortunately. In addition, I struggled to replicate the smoothing effect seen in-game. (and finally: nobody seems to know let alone have the font used in the original Paper Mario, so I used Hey Gorgeous, which mimics the font used in TTYD)

That said, I'm proud of my sprite work if nothing else. I wanted to make more, but this already took a lot of work.

Started uploading my custom Crash sprites on The Spriters Resource for free usage (Credit is needed still!)

Hope they're put to good use!

hey again axis nation

so recently i noticed that despite the other Undertale Yellow main characters' overworld sprites being uploaded onto Demirramon.com (the funny utdr text box generator place), Axis did not have one overworld sprite of him uploaded, plus there being a criminal lack of Axis sprites being uploaded in general. so, i decided to head over to The Spriter's Resource and do it myself!! To save my own sanity not EVERY sprite is included, only the ones i feel people will really want to use, but if there is a sprite you want me to add to the pack let me know!! you can find it by searching "Overworld Axis" or by clicking here. please do keep in mind that some of the sprites in the pack are rather spoiler-heavy, so if you do not want the story of Undertale Yellow spoiled to you then i recommend playing the game or watching a playthrough before viewing the sprite pack!!

if anyone knows which artist(s) made specifically the Axis overworld and dialogue sprites, please let me know :( as of now i can't credit them

plus here's a little showcase!! sort of

Currently the PSP section of spriter's resource has nothing but Hero's Day sprite sheets in the recent section (teehee)

Ivan and Pao-lin currently aren't uploaded but will be soon, and then I start work on non-player character sheets. I wont be able to upload every NPC just yet, since some Hero's Day exclusive characters have no accurate romanisation of their names and you can't exactly submit a sheet without a name....

So, here are the characters that need names translated! The more translations provided the better so we can compare and decide what to use together!

Char 1: An overworked conductor & Father met in Kotetsu's story. Seems to have a full name. Char 2: The son of the conductor, also with a full name and last name shared with his father. If I recall, voice lines from his father verbalise his name as "Matteo" (Mah-tae-oh). Also this kid refers to his father as the general 'otousan'. Char 3: Verbalised as "Marocchio" (Ma-rock-ee-oh), he is the one in charge of the musical all the heroes are invited to, and helps Barnaby practice for his Cameo role. Also, his sprite has heavy spoilers so be cautious whenever that does get uploaded. Chars 4 and 5: Twin actors, the first pictued being the brother, verbalised as "Judd", and gotta be honest I forgot his sister's verbalisation it's been a while. Char 6: Verbalised as Bun/Boom, he's out of a job but was a godlike lighting technician. He's probably my favourite of the Hero's Day Cast. Char 7: Prounounced as "Schlei" (Sh-lay...not 'slayyyy' with an accent, the Sh is loud), he is an important character in the story and implied to have gone through a Hikikomori-esque phase after falling into debt. They also state his last name verbally but I forgot where they do. Char 8 - Schlei's Mother and flower shop owner. I don't think she has a proper name in game, but translate it anyway, and we will refer to her as (Schlei's last name)-san or something. Char 9 - He's only referred to as Doc and is a person from Schlei's past. I think it might just outright be "Doc" but yknow, to be on the safe side I'm asking. There's also the "Red Squad" as I call them he's also connected to but they all verbally state their names enough times (as well as stated by other characters) for me to be 100% certain of theirs. (Strawberry, Blood, Signal and Sunset Red).

Feel free to post translations anywhere I can find them! When I get around to putting them on the Wiki, any name translation effort works will be sourced/credited!

[megamozartx]

Hey, have another sprite edit, this one is more involved.

[kendricksilver]

Part four of editing Rune Factory children sprites to match my favorite bachelorette/bachelor.

Today we have Rune Factory 3, and Sofia de Sainte-Coquille (yes, writing her full name is a requirement)

The Rune Factory 3 children honestly scare me, but at least I didn't have to edit elf ears for once. I know that you have three kids in this game, but I'm just operating under the idea that the third kid looks like Micah like in canon. It's honestly kind of wild that this game lets you have three kids and yet they're all pretty much the most basic iteration of children (other than RF1) and two are going to wind up looking identical. They really could have benefitted from having the kids take after your spouse RF5 style. At least their designs are pretty cute though.

As for my choice of wife...(we all know what I have to do here)

Ever since I first saw Sofia's dialogue, I thought she was absolutely boring. I've hated her ever since <3. I think she's ugly, but what I hate most is how uninteresting she is. She's a terrible example of how completely mundane Rune Factory dialogue can be~

Anyway, requests for edits are open as always, and I'm going to stop the opposite speak because the color editing is killing me

Unedited children sprites and Sofia (credit to Eeveeloverthespriter8 on Spriters Resource for the unedited sprites) for reference are not under the cut (couldn't help myself)

Hello Rhythm Heaven Tumblr I have a quick question

Does anyone know if anybody has ripped the little character sprites from the cast roll after the credits in Rhythm Heaven DS? Some of the sprites there are just so cute and I want to make them out of perler beads and stick them to my wall :] I've checked The Spriter's Resource but I don't think they're on there.

Thx :>

My best friend and I are trying to make sprites for a game, but we have no pixel art experience whatsoever.

Do you have any tips for beginners such as ourselves? Also, what programs do you use?

I use piskel for my pixel arts, it's simple and free to use! A fantastic tool for anyone wanting to make or modify pixel art.

As for tips, here's a three from my personal experience (this is using piskel though I think any sprite editor works too;

some websites (ie. Spriter's resource) specialize in pixel sprites, go there for sprites. Pick as many as you want. No one's going to be upset that you used their stuff as long as they are credited. (just don't steal any, that's not cool, and if you do, don't get caught.)

2. It's a good idea to keep all your sprites in one place that you can have a place to copy and paste what you need. It's also a good way to study and understand how making sprite animations work, sprite sheets often have all the frames used in just one animation.

3. Modify existing sprites first, start small, practice on tweaking an existing sprite and understanding their dimensions, trying different colors, take them apart and pick out certain pieces, mix them. I use Omori sprites because they are small and have fewer parts and color diversities.

4. Most importantly, save your work as often as you can, when you can. You never know when something can go wrong and wipe everything. It's happened to me so often...

5. Take your time. That's all that needs to be said.

And with that, that's my advice! have fun making pixel art and onwards!
