Pretty cool. So you're making a Bleach game with a chibi-style for characters? Thats cool, and different. I remember a game called: Dragonball GT Genesis using a chibi style back in 2001.

Nice, but all i got to say for a few of the hair is that the outlines are to sharp ie. change the black to the original hair color or something.

Just to make some things clear:
1) Shadowice has repeatedly said this is not his icon, only fixes and edits he made to it of someone elses. This is perfectly OKAY, as long as he has permission. Stop trying to kick him in the nuts for something he didn't do, and give him constructive crit. on what he actually did.
2) The sprite in question most certainly isn't a rip of the RPGmaker base. About the only thing they have in common is the same damn chibi-style going on. I wouldn't even say it's an edit, they're that different.
3) I'm strongly considering making it against the rules to post in a topic accusing someone of ripping, because this is just getting ridiculous. I mean yesterday one you guys even tried accusing Forerunnerz of ripping Fighters of Legend's icons. Yeah, this needs to stop.

With that said. DO NOT POST IN WIP THREADS UNLESS YOU INTEND TO GIVE THE PERSON CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. If you want to argue with someone take it off the forums to a private venue.

LG's crit that got deleted when I cleaned the thread up.

i Actually did Look at the Site and i Also did Look up Green Raven and i will say he is good at pixel art but i would say hat these are in fact Edits and if you wanna leave byond Just Press the Big White and Red X button and Have a Nice day sad Creature and if im correct did you ever see Raven Make them Yourself did you see him make it if your answer is no then you have no proof so be on your Way out Kid.

Ya know what? This place is devolving into "he's a ripper", "he's an editor", "he's a blah, blah, blah". If you guys want to play pixel police - do it somewhere else. I don't want rips here, but 24 of you guys will post more on some 'rip' thread than someone posting original shit. Stop it! If you want to point out a 'rip', say so in the thread and post a (clear - PNG or GIF) image of the supposed place it was ripped from - then shut the f up about it.

As for this - DemonSpree and dark_productions, if either of you had even bothered to look at both of the images you would see what I see - a base that looks very similar BUT NOT A RIP.
It's 32x32 f'ing pixel sprite and everyone here has been making the same big-headed baby sprite for the last 8 YEARS. You know what you're going to hafta do to actually find a rip on these muscle babies: Look closely guys. Look closely at what you were SO sure of - and either apologize to this guy who came in here for...wait for it...CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and got nothing but accusations (except for Ras, Branks, and Mohfar1). DemonSpree and dark_productions: consider this a formal warning. Anyone else who wants to play pixel police and spam an entire thread with this crap, you can expect the same from me (I can't speak for the other mods).

Again: If you see something that looks like a rip, post the original you think was ripped and leave it. Others: if you see someone has already done this, then shut up about it and let the mods deal with it in time.

More f'ing ART, less F'ing FART.

Beat me to it, either way i couldnt agree more.

Anywho, Looking at the big version of that base, particularly the clothing, that dark grey color youve got there could either be removed, or you could raise the contrast on it to make it more visible. Im not especially sure what you were doing with it. I would also lower the contrast on the shine on the forehead (maybe not for ikkaku, hehe) Making it a tad darker, and even smaller could do the trick.

Good job on the eyes though.

Terribly sorry Shadowice, I should have nipped this in the butt before you had a bunch of people attacking you.

Um, I actually said they make their games in RPG Maker vx. You do know people can upload their own graphics and sprites in this program right? That is what the rest of the team is doing, and instead of me buying the program I decided to make a game here on BYOND for free. Them making games in RPG Maker vx doesn't automatically mean RPG Maker vx sprites were used, if you truly understood the program. Anyway, it's OK. I don't really care about what you two guys have to say, as long as the rest of the internet knows the truth...
...OK, and about the outfit, I'm redoing the whole kimono because of the colors. I'm viewing different types of references, but they seem to look different in each reference I viewed. I'm thinking about the pitch black with the light spots on them that make them look shiny, like in the manga...



Edit: And if you still have doubt, Breeze was released months before RPG Maker vx was.

Er...So you're saying Rick Astley will be a great reference? Because that's all I got man T_T...I got Rick Roll'd man.

Edit: I'm watching it on Megavideo now, Youtube sucks

Did you even read what he posted? He joined a team that makes games with RPG Maker VX that uses THEIR OWN SPRITES, which he is using for BYOND. As in, they MADE it, and even though he didn't make the icon, that's not what his post here about. He's here to get help on adapting the icon, that he has permission to use as he claims, to an anime game.

He didn't say any of that in his first post.


I think most people here expect people to post art they did themselves, and if they don't state in their first post that it isn't 100% theirs then of course everyone is going to be up in arms about it. If he said what you just said in his first post, then I doubt anyone would have flailed their arms and called him out on it.
