Need "GOOD" Mack-Style Sprite tutorial

[Capt_Elfimis 55]

I'm looking for a good tutorial or set of tuts that teaches how to make Mack-Style sprites. I'm familiar with their deminsions and how to implement them into a project, I just need better tutorials on the actual art and creation of them. 

 

NOT LOOKING FOR:

A sprite generator 

resource sprites, pre-made

Anything that does all the work for you.

 

I want to learn how to make them myself, I am just having trouble finding good tutorials as 90% of everything just points to generators and other peoples resource sprites. I don't want it done for me or to use someone else's work. All help with this is greatly appreciated

Hello Capt_Elfimis,

 

When I was looking for tutorials myself I found this:

Lots of good explanations of Colour, Depth, and Shade.

How to do all 4 directions etc.

 

Good luck!

Hope this helps!
