Thank you! I really wanted some updated mario sprites for a long time. And ok I understand. No Thousand-Year Textures.

Give em some basic shading mate.

hmm... i don't like shading lol.. i like the basic, solid colors; just how I am

So far those recent updates look great! Also, I'm not sure on this, but has there been work done on the text bubble?

heh, thanks for noticing!! xD
yes I redid the text bubble because it looked "funny"; and I love the way the castle turned out (I made the walls spontaneously...)

but yeah, I'm trying to get a lot of work done so i have something to show for the time I was gone.

 

[Datadayne]

WOW! you really changed it. I really like it man. Good job.

 

[DDRPIP]

thanks datadayne, haven't seen you in a while; you get on MSN at all??

Anything needs to be changed???

I'm touching up toad town right now; finishing roofs, finding "lost textures", walls, and stuff like that.
Screens of Toad Town:

I think I'll finish the toad knights sometime soon and then move to random characters, bowser and finish up peach and mario.

Im on msn really late at nights.

The one thing I think that need to be corrected is the blue curtain. Its very good, but the sides need to be cleaned and smoothed out. But thats all.

I actually did not like that texture either, thanks for the advice; I'll tackle it soon.

heh, found another room in the castle that needed some real help...

original:

*new*

tayce T. (right??)... the cook toad:

 

[animalforest]

Dude, this looks sweet. I like how Mario looks like somebody ran him through a high resolution scanner! Keep up the good work! Oh yeah, and some advice for toad. Where his head meets his "hat", maybe try to put a very, very thin line to seperate them.

 

[DDRPIP]

changed curtain, knight toads, and changed Tayce T.

the curtain is giving me issues; tell me what you think about it

knight toads:

You really need to learn how to use vectors. They will make your shapes much smoother.

 

[DDRPIP]

vectors... hmm I've vaguely heard that term but I'll look it up later today.
thanks man

 

[UnaidedCoder]

He's talking about the pen and shape tools.

However I sill think they need some primitive shades to make em look badass

They really make the picture better. It takes time to get used to. Anyways, I like the new look of the curtain. Just make it height smaller so its not cut on the bottom.

Also, try using the pollygonal lasso tool.

I found this link to a sprite sheet with every mario sprite from the original paper mario. Not sure if it will help though... Anyways, here's the link:
