It's been awhile since I made a sprite. I originally planned to make a bunch of these as window-sitters for my website, but decided to use my in-game sprites instead because they literally fit better.

But that also means I have this whole list of sprite projects just... sitting here.

This could be a fun combination.

I have an idea. Let's use vectors to create the shapes, and then I'll scale it down and use my anti-aliasing technique to turn it into a sprite.

I think I'll aim for about double my usual in-game sprite size, so instead of 32 pixels tall, this will be about 64 pixels tall. Let's just add a few general details to turn it into Misty first.

Go into Aseprite. Use a 2x2 grid. Turn on snapping. Then start "tracing" the edges and filling in the shapes.

Hmm... not a lot of contrast. Let's try outlining everything.

It's still pretty flat though. Let's add some details.

... and some shading too.

Adjust a few shapes along the way.

Get the hair looking good.

Ears are hard to figure out.
