*Sigh* It is my time to step up to the plate.

Sprite: Custom MMZ – Recent Revamp

Parts: None ((I have it, but the idea here is to help my problems with sheet making (you know the saying: "give a man one fish and it will feed him for a day; but, teach a man how to fish and it will feed him for life"...it is a strange saying, since I hate fish, but you get the point). Just show me how to created a proper method of sheet making and that will do for me.))

Okay, let see here...a short descriptions of my character as the rule applies, of Gamemaster M. Zero. Heh, that going to be hard since he is complex, so I hope this isn’t too long. Here go: He is not human at all, he is more of a monster or to be exist, a Pure-heart Evan ("E-van" is how to pronounce it, not the normal way). He is poses to be a perfect example of a true ultimate life-form, with no body flaws or restrictions that humans and furries have. He has weaknesses, but…I’m not going to tell, heh.

Other qualities: Energy User (not Energy Caster, aka Ryu or Goku), wily adventurer and great short-length strategist, Jacket and Shirt acts as a single “armor”, wield white energy, blue blood (has a healing effect on mother nature, don’t need it to live, don’t shoot out); no muscles, bones, or any organs; pacifist and a warrior, as strange as it sound; 4 forms (but lock the last 3 to prevent godmodding); and immune to corruption and being curse or brainwash, though the Shin Awakening is immune to all negative status changing effect as well (but lock that feature to prevent godmodding again).

Now that I got that out of the way, here the deal: I have been trying to create a proper sheet for my character for the longest time in spriting history, and as you know, I was never able to do so. It is not that I’m lazy, which I will say that is bloody false, because I spend around 10 years working on a sheet. I'd study different spriting tutorials, practice like mad, and try to find a method in creating a sheet in a good pace. You see, I have a tremor in my hands and it affects my drawing/spriting skill which I’ve been trying to overcome. I came here not for a typical request (the ones that asks for other to do poses to help me) since I got sick of that and really want to improve as a spriter, but a request to help me overcome a weakness not many spriters has to deal with and help me find a method of creating sheets in a reasonable pace.

I did tried these methods, but it fails like the one before it:
- Enlarging the sprite and draw the poses.
- Turning a poses into an outline and work with that.
- Turning a poses into pure black image and work with that.
- Just tried to edited poses, but having it ends up unlike the normal standing pose (you know, ugly version of it).
- I tried to create a “sprite skeleton,” but that was a waste of time and got me nowhere (I combine it with the outline part, but still fail).

However, I have improved as a sprite and created better sprites. My latest ones I made, I actually hold back on the number of colors that was used. However, the pant has not change and I need to fix that. Helping with the “sheet” problem come first and I might solve the pants issue myself, but if you want to help, I’ll thank you greatly. However, if you want to help me on the “pant” problem, just give me a hint or choices, just as long as I learn to do it myself.

I’ll wait and see if anyone here can help me on this. I’m giving the Fallout Shelter a chance to help me on this. But, if it passes a week and no one can help me, then I’ll ask in the Pixeltendo. And, I hoping you guys could help me, since Pixeltendo kinda…made me too nervous to post there (may have to, even if I may get kill over there).

I have been reasonable told this may not be a great place to ask this, since many here may not have as much experience with customs as I hope, so don't think ill at me for giving a time limit. If by next Friday that no one is unable to help me, I will gather the courage and ask Pixeltendo…*shudder*…then, hopefully I can get what I have been questing for so long without getting murder (may not be a quick thing, but I'm hoping).

Hopefully, I will find what I'm looking for and I can get to work on sheeting again with high success. And, excuse anything that seems odd...let just say that typing while in a sleepy state is not an idea. If you really need those parts, I'll post them, but it may not be useful.

Maybe I should explain better. My overall goal is to get past my sheeting problem. I'm not asking you to do anything involving my sprite, I'll do that myself(that pant thing is optional and I may get it myself). What I DO want you to do is to share with me your method of creating sheets. I don't care how you sheets, if your method(s) can be reshape in my style of spriting to get pass my weakness, I'll be very happy and that will increase my low self-esteem that I have been having as of lately.
