@Reisrat : well, short answer is "Plant Man Logic" but we can get into depth with that.

The accepted spriting rule for NES has been 3+1 (three colors and one transparency) but it's more realistically 2+1+1 where it's two colors, plus one black, plus one transparency. so with one layer, it's 2 colors +1 black +1 transparency to fill in the layer. Most Robot Masters and NES sprites overall would utilize either one or two layers. Somehow, Capcom in the waning years of the NES figured out a third layer technique that allowed Plant Man to function in high capacity without causing lag or flicker. So going with that, I broke her up into her separate layers that could/would allow her to function on the NES without causing too much lag, if any, if using whatever Capcom figured out in 1993

These can be for anyone:

1. What is your favorite Element that we use here at the Prototype
2. Who is our favorite Robot Master? (official, spinoff, noncanon, fanmade, etc)
3. What gaming series, if any, is your favorite and why?

@Bt Man : well i get the comics every month at my local comic book shop. but i will relay some ways that one can view the comics and get caught up. just not in the public forum ;)

@Bt Man : they are available online. Just have to know where to look

Another update with another random character. For those that don't read the Archie comics (not sure why you wouldn't, go do it, it's awesome), this is Tempo in her armored form, known as Quake Woman.

I'm very reluctant about sharing this sprite version of her since there are multiple versions of her floating around on the interwebs (and most of them are over-designed 8bit and don't look good) so i'm wary of showing my version of her. Let's just say that sprite theft occurs too often in the spriting circles. In any case, here she is.

@TheDoc : huh, thought i replied to this last night...
what I normally do is sprite it out on the computer first, then once it looks good enough, i just use the image on the screen as a guide to put the beads. that's the best way to do it. with the beads first, if there's any mistake you need to redo almost everything! it's best to get it right on the easier paint program than with the beads.

Updating with some I've had hanging up for a few years now.

First up, Baroque:


and a BCA Group shot I had on my original banners for BCA. Most of these sprites have been updated since then...

@Retro Pikachu : Assuming you're referring to the last of Mega Man's alternate costumes for Smash. That's actually Top Spin, which IS in his arsenal. All of his colors correspond to weapons in his arsenal that he uses.

apparently i'm a ghost now

oooooOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOooOOOOoooo
