Very cool. Shading is everything with pixel art! Now if only I could draw.... ;)

[Captain Scout]

very cool
and very useful

except that's not splicing.
that's a recolor/color swap.

^tutorial for splicing will be in part two

just fyi

Ohhh, this is great! I always wanted to know how to do this but I was too lazy to look it up. XD

Here's my result:

It's ok. I probably should have followed the instructions a little better, but I got excited and started rushing through it. Really the only problem I have with it is the color in the shading above the left eye. It looks creepy. I probably lined up the colors wrong or something. Or Cherubis just have weird left eye shading. Which is sort of true...

Making these is fun!! I'm going to waste so much time.

Thanks!

This tutorial can be very useful to people who are new at colour swapping. Good job. ;D

Don't worry, it's near perfect! I do many colour swaps/recolours myself. It's great. But you should've swapped the leaf colour aswell, even if there isn't any other colours. But other then that, it's great!

There's a much faster way of recolouring sprites -- just pick the colour you want to change as the foreground colour, the colour you want to change it to as the background colour, and right-click through the first colour with the eraser tool!

No fill bucket required. :)

From my experience, that only always works on older versions of Paint.
It keeps breaking on my Windows 7 version of Paint.

It works perfectly for me, but the Windows 7 version of Paint is terrible for sprite work, anyway. :P
