Megaman wannabe sprite

You are wrong Stwelin, THIS is reverse anti-aliasing.



Hopefully it doesn't turn into a trend because it looks horrible.

 That's basic anti-aliasing. Reverse is you blend the base color into the outline.

What are you talking about?

You mean st0ven's fourth tutorial on his site?

No sir, I beleive it is you who is wrong. (according to st0ven, that is.)

Also - Your 'reverse anti-aliasing' example there accomplishes nothing.  while it might be a reverse technically, it has no point.  AA (reversed or not) is meant to give a smoother look, and your example obviously doesn't look smooth.

It was... a joke.

Also, sorry to st0ven, but his reverse-outlining is just another name for selout. And it's horrible, imo.

Yeah, that's selective outlining with internal anti-aliasing in that tutorial. It's very discrete selout, though, so you might actually want to call it... varying outline strength or something. Because it IS fully outlined, not selectively outlined.

Also, Evil-Ville, that's not reverse anti-aliasing. The definition of AA is to remove jaggies (aliasing). That doesn't remove jaggies, so it's not anti-aliasing.

I thought Evil's reply was hilarious, though it seems a lot of people didn't see it as a joke.

Right it's not anti-aliasing, it's REVERSE anti-aliasing.

I thought it was funny too.


As for the sprite, I think you should bring back the outer black outlines.

I think that the whole sprite looks squashed... like with his thick legs he wouldn't actually be able to occupy that little space.  Overall there's too much confusion, everything is the same color and right on top of each other.

for some reason i cannot comprehend sarcasm before 8am.
