Another sprite

[bladespark]

These are way too fun. Although also a bit tedious at times.



If I have enough beads, I'd like to do the full Eevee evolution set, I think. I'm working on the sprite for Flareon now. I have to adjust the color palette to match what I've got on hand. This Eevee, for example, originally had about six shades of brown and three shades of cream. I have three browns and no cream at all, so things had to be changed about a bit. Flareon has like... five different oranges, and I've got two, and only two reds, and just one yellow, so it's taking some work.

OOH OOH!!! HOW MUCH FOR VULPIX!? *flails* i found the most beautiful Vulpix picture and i am in so much love. <3

Depends a bit on how big I have to make it. :) Send pic? Because this is the VERY smallest Eevee sprite there is, and it still took four pegboards and is about 8 inches tall. They come out large!

how much would a largish one be?

That's not pixel art, I /can't/ bead it. I would love to, but it's physically impossible. Each bead is one pixel. Even if I could get the hundreds and hundreds of colors used in that image (which I can't, they don't exist!) the Eevee this was made from is this:

It's 43 pixels tall it came out 8" tall. That image is 700 pixels, it would be something like six feet tall. You could shrink it down, but there's still the color problem. I'd have to reduce it to a tiny palette, which would completely remove all the glowy effects, it would be just flat colors.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

It is a totally awesome image. :) It just would make a lousy bead sprite.

Either of those would work just fine. :D Although for the second one I might have to buy a couple of colors I don't have, so I think I'd charge a little more for it, to cover doing so.

[harliquinnraver.livejournal.com]

sooooo roughly how much? :) also, if its affordable, id like a Dragonair too XD i freaking love Dragonair!

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Dur, I'm so with it. :) Call it $8 for the first, and $12 for the second.

And I'm glad you like the Harlisprite. :D It wasn't too hard to do, since I just changed colors and the tail on the cat sprite I already had.

[harliquinnraver.livejournal.com]

$8 is doable. same price for the Dragonair?

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Heh. That sprite is 3 pixels too wide for the boards I've got. :P I could do it for that once I have another couple of boards, which I need to get eventually, but I can't do it now.

[harliquinnraver.livejournal.com]

totally understandable. i can wait. :)
