Ally- I use PC stitch but you could certainly use kg chart too. I usually create the sprites I think I might want to use first and then play around with the layout until I am happy with how it looks. I usually try to have each line or "band" in the sampler made up of related sprites.Ally wrote:Your samplers are awesome! How do you go about making the patterns for them? I'd love to be able to make a Pokemon themed one, or even a Mario one too, but I'm not 100% on the pattern making aspect. Do you just play around in KG Chart with it until it looks good?

I think so, Brain, but can the gummi worms really live in peace with the marshmallow chicks?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" nobody would buy them.

Re: Super Mario 3 All Stars Band Sampler - Finished :)
This sampler is beautiful! Ive never made one before, but it looks like you r and expert. Have you considered making a big nintendo themed one? With each band representing a different game? Just a thought. The nintendo logi would look sweet in the middle and it would be an awesome pattern

Re: Super Mario 3 All Stars Band Sampler - Finished :)
Thanks for the suggestion! I have thought about doing a nintendo themed one kind of like the my arcade one (and just like you suggestCrazyCucco11 wrote: Have you considered making a big nintendo themed one?

I have also thought about samplers for other systems/games/series..... final fantasy, kirby, atari..... it is just a matter of having time
