Creating Sprites for New Shard Formes

[Spyro]

After looking through some sprites used in 1.5 games, specifically World Link, I have found a decent amount of sprites that are of good enough quality to be used as 1.8 sprites, or can be of high enough quality with some slight modifications to their colors or to their details. I have decided to compile together all the sprites I see as being able to be used for new shard forms, which creators can use for their hacks or original games or whatever.

I've also heard that some of the more high-quality ones came from a 1.5 hack called "Merry's Version" but I'm not very well educated in the 1.5 department.

This thread's purpose is a place for people to post sprites from 1.5 games that could be usable in 1.8 games, sprites from 1.5 polished to be 1.8 sprites, or custom sprites entirely.

Here is a list of sprites I've found/polished so far:

Normally I would post a link to the 1.5 sprite dump, but since we are POLISHING sprites in here, I have three that I revamped a bit:
Dark hina, from quite a few hacks:

Spoiler

Polished the pallet to removed the "darkness" from her, so to say. Still needs the 1.8-styled hair shading, though.

Alternate chibi chen, from hemo's personal blog:

Spoiler

Redid the pallet to allow for sprite insertion

Alternate chibi remilia, also from hemo's personal blog:

Spoiler

Another pallet cleanup for insertion.

Touhoumon Blue actually had some nice sprites for Mitori and Sasha, actually.


yes I realize they're edits from Touhoumon 1.8 sprites.

I edited the OP to include just plain old 1.5 sprites. People can post regular old 1.5 sprites if they match up to 1.8's standards. I'll have to take a look at the 1.5 sprite dump. The only 1.5 sprites i've seen are those from Aichiya Sanae's hacks as I cannot find a Touhoumon Blue ROM, but the actual 1.5 sprite dump may have some goodies in it too.

here ya go: http://lkaexe.supersanctuary.net/rotate/
it should be noted that some of those ARE 1.8 sprites with 1.5-esque shadings.

Touhoumon Blue has a lot of unique mons in it (it has Unzan as a stand-alone mon, as well the PC98 Mirrors, among others), I'll upload the patch tomorrow when I can get my computer online.

In the meantime, here's the Christmas forms from Touhoumon Scarlet Emerald

Stand-alone Unzan would be cool as a Trade Evolution/Chrome Shard evolution for Chibi Ichirin imo

Is anyone looking for Mitori/Sasha sprites? Hemo actually made some nice 1.8 ones.

[Neotornado]

I think zak posted those sprites. (although I dunno if those are hemo's or fan-edits. I'm assuming the latter.)
Either way, I touched up a few sprites from the http://www.tohofes.com/news/dot_list.html and gave them insertable sprites.
Here's the list:

Spoiler

Chibi Noroiko: (Yes the backsprite is a recolored CReimu Shut Up)
Regular Noroiko: (I forget what the backsprite for this one is. I think shizuha mixed with daiyousei?
Kyouko:
Yoshika:
Seiga: (really like this sprite)
Tojiko:
Futo:
Another Futo:
Mamizou:
Another Mamizou:
Kokoro:
Wakasagihime:

Sekibanki:

Kagerou:

Yatsuhashi:

Benben:

Seija:

Sukuna:
Raiko:
Another Raiko:

Of course, I'm probably not the best at palleting, so some of those probably look pretty awkward. XD Not to mention that I had to use the shoddy backsprites for all of them which got a bit inconsistent with a few. (especially the raiko ones)

I actually wanna see if they're different or not.

Seiga: (really like this sprite)
Tojiko:
Another Sekibanki:

These sprites are amazing and I'm probably gonna edit Sekibanki's backsprite to make it match.


Also found this on the Pixiv.

For anyone who wants bikini bunny.

Speaking of pixiv, I think the sekibanki sprite is from pixiv. if anyone can find the source of it, I'd greatly appreciate it.
*edit*
Actually, thinking about it, maybe someone can search for other sprites on pixiv? the only decent one I found that hasn't been posted yet was this one for miko:

There was one for a bunch of fan characters but none of them had backsprites.

Regarding the Sekibanki Sprite from Pixiv, I believe this is the source you're looking for:

As for the picture with the "bunch of fan characters with no backsprites" there are plenty of those floating around, but I think these are what you're talking about:
