Smirks Sprites

Smirks · February 19, 2019, 4:11am

Hey guys! I used to do a lot of spriting over on Serenes but it seems pretty dead now so I’m gonna start dumping stuff here instead.

This is me

Well it was a few years ago when I made it. I’ll have to update it and add a beard…

Here’s a few customs I did based on two of my buddies IRL. I like right, but I couldn’t quite get the likeness on left.

The quick Bandit Splice for the comp. Not too proud of this one.

Gladiator

A WIP animation.

And here’s a “SALVAGED-esque” Knight remake. Helmet and Helmetless
Always bugged me how few colors they used in the vanilla sprite. Mine is still in the color limits but separates armor, trim/blades, handle/underarmour, skin and even hair all separate; no shared colors.

P.S. If you want to see any of my older stuff https://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?/topic/45666-smirks-sprites/

That knight looks awesome, though I wish you had made the armor a bit… thinner, lmao. Love your stuff though! Welcome to FEU, and rip serenes.

Your mugs look great! As they pretty always have haha.

I love the knight and I REALLY love the gladiator animation! Like he actually holds the shield in front of him like one is supposed to and you made it look good!

Nice to meet you!
Yours is wonderful

this makes me happy

It makes me really happy to see that so many spriting veterans from SF are joining FEU

Welcome on board, Smirks!

And I totaly agree with Yosh. That Gladiator is

I’m looking forward to see more of your work

Gladiator Crit progress

and some edits to Knight

Pikmin1211 · February 20, 2019, 4:18am

I thought he was driving the sword into the ground. That might look better honestly. Damn though, I kinda like both helmets for the Knight.

Smirks · February 20, 2019, 4:20am

I’m thinking it might be cool if I have him stick the sword in the ground and then push himself backwards with the sword

yoshthethird · February 20, 2019, 4:34am

You made both MORE great. I love that animation so far too. Honestly I just love bucklers.

Pikmin1211 · February 20, 2019, 4:46am

Maybe like, the motion he has now, but when he moves back he pulls the sword back, then as he lunges he pulls it out of the ground?

Agro · February 20, 2019, 4:49am

why not have him lunge forward and catch the sword on the way, rather than him let the sword fall and then lunge?

Dellhonne · April 11, 2019, 3:51am

Hey @Smirks someone progress with the knight and gladiator animation?

Smirks · February 15, 2021, 11:50pm

Well long time no post but when you get stuck at home you find some time

me and a few friends in GBA style

I think I’ve posted this one somewhere before but -_

Here’s my current WIP. Trying something a little bit different but still in a 16 color palette
@Dellhonne sorry I think I have done some stuff but it’s all on a different pc

CobyTheGoober · February 16, 2021, 12:06pm

Wait is that… an fe7 color palette…? In this spriting meta? Impossible!

Good stuff nice to see you back!

So close to finished. Some day.

Your SALVAGED Armor Knight concept looks really good!

I wanted to ask. May i have your permission to fully animate it?

Smirks · October 3, 2026, 9:11pm

Alright it’s time for another “Smirks isn’t actually dead” post. Here’s the entire playable cast of the game I’m working on. I’m hoping posting these will give me the drive to actually get the demo playable.
