So yeah, if you did happen to stumble upon this topic and wanted to help me, that's great, I'd love that. But please don't reply to this topic or PM me through the Court-Records forum if you want to help, since I'm never on this forum anymore and I won't be able to get around to it. If you do I'd prefer you PM me through Ace Attorney Online; I'm way more likely to see it there. (And technically this topic shouldn't even exist anymore, since there's already a request topic. I just can't figure out for the life of me how to lock this thread. :/) Details are under the spoiler tag below.

Spoiler:
This is the thread for all my sprite requests regarding my Ace Attorney Online case series, Maya Fey: Spiritual Successor. Thanks to your help (or lack thereof), I've finished Case 1 of the series and am currently working on Case 2. If you're interested, there are some requests below for characters I haven't already sprited myself, but if you don't have time to sprite an entire OC (which I'm assuming you won't), check the latest post(s) for a sprite that I've started but need help on. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Also, on the big request list on the fifth post, if you do decide to help me with a sprite, keep in mind you don't have to follow the guidelines exactly. A bunch of OCs I had to sprite myself didn't turn out the way I expected them to originally; for instance, an OC in Case 2 was supposed to be a blond wearing a blue jacket and carrying an iPad, and I ended up using this:
Image
The blond part and the blue jacket part stayed, but I ended up using an iPod instead because I couldn't sprite typing on an iPad.
See what I mean? Feel free to go wild, just make sure you KINDA follow the guidelines. I'm willing to accept pretty much anything. If you think a request is too vague, feel free to flood me with questions on being more specific!

Heck, if you want to help me sprite an OC, you don't have to animate or even give me a full set. As long as I have the bases I need to finish the sprite, I won't need anything else. (Granted, if I don't have enough bases to do everything, I may ask you for more, but I'll try to make it as easy for you as possible.) If you really want to animate or give a full set of sprites, by all means, do so! But you really don't have to.

Everyone that participates will get their name mentioned in the credits of the respective case or case part in which their sprite is used.

Case 1 and the first part of Case 2 are already finished at this point in time. The link to the AAO forum topic is in my signature.

Could you post some of what you've done/tried to do? I might be too busy to make them for you, but I can at least give you some tips on improving your own stuff.

Honestly; I'm bit interested but...ultimately I need to say no, at least this time.
It would be better if you would tell more and be exact of what you need because that way people understand better what is needed
and they won't just be; "meh....I'm interested but I don't want to promise anything I might end up not caring about...."

So far all we know is that you'll probably need a D.A Maya poses, which have already been done by SilentBobX to begin with,
and I'm assuming you're gonna need some prosecutor and lot, lot of wtnesses and other characters.
But like I said, unlike we get some kinda info what kinda looking characters; I honestly can't fin enough interest to join.
I mean...Who knows; maybe the works you need may be really creative and fun to work with but...yeah...

Bottom line; tell what you need please.
You're already making a request that you need help with the project; no need to be so shady about it. <3

Look, here's the thing. I know what I want all of the characters to look like, and I have a very specific list as a txt file on my desktop. It's just that the list of stuff I want is really long, and I want to know if I should dump it all into one big honking post or do it, say, one post per case. I'm not trying to be shady, I just want to know how I should post all of these requests.

Sorry if this is a little awkward, but I don't have much experience on forums. :payne:

Ah, in that case I suggest you could try using the spoiler tags.
That's how at least most of us keep their sprite thread clean and simple here,
since you can store bunch of stuff under those.

A charitable trust is an irrevocable trust established for charitable purposes, and is a more specific term than "charitable organization".

India

In India, trusts set up for the social causes and approved by the Income Tax Department, get not only exemption from payment of tax but also the donors to such trusts can deduct the amount of donation to the trust from their taxable income.[1] The legal framework in India recognizes activities including "relief of the poor, education, medical relief, and the advancement of any other object of general public utility" as charitable purposes.[2] Companies formed under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956 for promoting charity also receive benefits under law including exemption from various procedural provisions of the Companies Act, either fully or in part, and are also entitled to such other exemptions that the Central Government may accord through its orders.[3]
Iran

In the Islamic Republic of Iran religious charitable trusts, or Bonyads, make up a substantial part of the country's economy, controlling an estimated 20% of Iran's GDP. Unlike some other Muslim-majority countries, the bonyads receive large and controversial subsidies from the Iranian government.[4]
United Kingdom
Main article: Charitable trusts in English law

In England and Wales, charitable trusts are a form of express trust dedicated to charitable goals. There are a variety of advantages to charitable trust status, including exception from most forms of tax and freedom for the trustees not found in other types of English trust.[5] To be a valid charitable trust, the organisation must demonstrate both a charitable purpose and a public benefit.[6] Applicable charitable purposes are normally divided into four categories; trusts for the relief of poverty, trusts for the promotion of education, trusts for the promotion of religion and all other types of trust recognised by the law, which includes trusts for the benefit of animals and a locality. There is also a requirement that the trust's purposes benefit the public (or some section of the public), and not simply a group of private individuals.[7]

Such trusts will be invalid in several circumstances; charitable trusts are not allowed to be run for profit,[8] nor can they have purposes that are not charitable (unless these are ancillary to the charitable purpose).[9] In addition, it is considered unacceptable for charitable trusts to campaign for political or legal change, although discussing political issues in a neutral manner is acceptable.[10] Charitable trusts, as with other trusts, are administered by trustees, but there is no relationship between the trustees and the beneficiaries.[5] This results in two things; firstly, the trustees of a charitable trust are far freer to act than other trustees and secondly, beneficiaries cannot bring a court case against the trustees. Rather, the beneficiaries are represented by the Attorney General for England and Wales as a parens patriae, who appears on the part of The Crown.[11]

Jurisdiction over charitable disputes is shared equally between the High Court of Justice and the Charity Commission.[12] The Commission, the first port of call, is tasked with regulating and promoting charitable trusts, as well as providing advice and opinions to trustees on administrative matters.[13] Where the Commission feels there has been mismanagement or maladministration, it can sanction the trustees, removing them, appointing new ones or temporarily taking the trust property itself to prevent harm being done.[12] Where there are flaws with a charity, the High Court can administer schemes directing the function of the charity.[14]

Question book-new.svg
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2009)

Charitable trusts may be set up inter vivos, during a donor's life, or as a part of a trust or will at death, as testamentary. US charitable trusts vary primarily in two factors: firstly whether the charity is paid first (and the remainder, after trust termination, goes to beneficiaries, such as heirs or back to the donor) – a "charitable lead trust", or whether the charity is paid last (after termination of the trust, after other beneficiaries have received payments) – a "charitable remainder trust"; and secondly whether the payments are a fixed amount "annuity trust", or a percentage of principle "unitrust".

Charitable remainder trusts are irrevocable structures established by a donor to provide an income stream to the income beneficiary, while the public charity or private foundation receives the remainder value when the trust terminates. These "split interest" trusts are defined in §664 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended and are normally tax-exempt. A section 664 trust makes its payments, either of a fixed amount (charitable remainder annuity trust §664(d)(1)(D)) or a percentage of trust principal (charitable remainder unitrust), to whomever the donor chooses to receive income. Normally, the donor may claim a charitable income tax deduction, and may not have to pay an immediate capital gains tax when the charitable remainder trust disposes of the appreciated asset and purchases other property as it diversifies its portfolio of trust property. At the end of the trust term, which may be based on either lives or a term of years, the charity receives whatever amount is left in the trust. Charitable remainder unitrusts (§664(d)(2)(D)- paying a fixed percentage) provide some flexibility in the distribution of income, and may be helpful in retirement planning, while charitable remainder annuity trusts paying a fixed dollar amount are more rigid and usually appeal to much older donors unconcerned about inflation's impact on income distributions who are using cash or marketable securities to fund the trust.

Parents who have a child with a disability should ensure that the inheritance they leave for their child does not affect their child's eligibility for social assistance programs. A Henson trust can be useful to ensure this.

Charitable lead trusts make payments, either of a fixed amount (charitable lead annuity trust) or a percentage of trust principal (charitable lead unitrust), to charity during its term. At the end of the trust term, the remainder can either go back to the donor or to heirs named by the donor. The donor may sometimes claim a charitable income tax deduction or a gift/estate tax deduction for making a lead trust gift, depending on the type of a charitable lead trust. Generally, a non-grantor lead trust does not generate a current income tax deduction, but it eliminates the asset (or part of the asset’s value) from the donor’s estate.

If the trust has qualified under laws such as Internal Revenue Code section 501(c), donations to the trust may be deductible to an individual taxpayer or corporate donor.

Alright then, here goes nothing. All the sprite requests in one post.

For the case series synopsis, go check out the AAO topic in my sig. :P

Sprite Requests

If anyone wants to do these before I get to them, please do! But chances are that I'm going to do most of these myself, since the lack of people responding to my requests caused me to become a decent spriter in my own right.

Shadi Pastele (Case 3)

Age: 42
--> Description: Weirdest character in the series by far. He always carries a pie crust with him but usually keeps it under his overcoat. If you try to take the pie crust away from him, he'll go completely crazy. (This weird behavior is explained early on in the case, don't worry.) If you ignore the pie, he's a very nice guy who loves reading. Phoenix knows him personally somehow. He has dark hair, combed all the way back. He wears sunglasses, but you can see his eyes. Wears a dark gray overcoat.

--> Sprites:
* Holding up pie. Has a very serious look on his face.
* Friendly smile. Hiding pie under his coat, but you can see the pan bulging out slightly.
* Same as previous, but holding up a book. Also one with him holding book under his arm.
* Thinking. Holding one elbow, other hand holding chin.
* Worried / freaked out. Eyes wide open, scratching area of coat with pie pan.
* Nervous. Same as previous, with sweating.
* Holding up one finger, not smiling. Think Moe.
* Calm. Hands out in front of him, not smiling.
* Provoked. Clutching pie to his coat and screaming angrily.

Coco Skittle (Case 3) [COMPLETED by gotMLK7]

Sasha Fey (Case 4) [IN PROGRESS by pokemonmercury and 256 Pi]

Aurora Gramarye (Case 4) [IN PROGRESS by 256 Pi]

Age: 20
--> Description: Looks almost exactly like Trucy, except wears green, speaks in Shakespearean English, and acts like Valant Gramarye. She has the uncanny ability to make Trucy really mad. Also Trucy's second cousin.

--> Sprites: Admittedly, Aurora is essentially a Trucy recolor (which I can handle myself), but there are a few other sprites I want of her. (Otherwise I wouldn't have even asked.)
* Sweating / strained. Again, like Valant Gramarye.
* Laughing really hard.

Megan Fey (Case 4)

Age: 45
--> Description: Sasha Fey's mother, Maya and Pearl's aunt. She is often worried over something, usually Pearl or Sasha. Wears a hood. BTW, please try not to make her look like Morgan.

--> Sprites:
* Normal. Not smiling, hands folded together. Looks worried.
* Surprised. Eyes wide open, holding her chin with one hand. I'll also need one with her hood down.
* Worried. Facing slightly to one side, sweating a little. Think Ron DeLite.
* Pulling her hood down over her eyes.
* Strained. Same as previous, but also sweating, and appears to be cringing a little, too.
* Taking her hood off. Start from strained pose and end with stern pose.
* Stern. Glaring, not wearing hood.
* Smug. Half smiling, mean looking, not wearing hood.
* Thinking. Looking up towards the corner, visibly annoyed. Not wearing hood.
* Annoyed. Looks quite angry, almost a little Kristoph Gavin-like. Not wearing hood.
* Screaming. Again, hood down.


Sorry that this is a long list, but I am a reasonable guy. I'm a patient person and can wait as long as you need. (Just don't volunteer to do a sprite and forget about it! :pearl: )

If any of these requests seem a bit vague to you, that's because I don't have a particularly clear idea in my head on what the character is supposed to look like. I'm willing to leave open room for interpretation, so don't be afraid to be creative. I'm willing to accept pretty much anything!

As for my own sprite work, my own avatar should be a testament to my skill. I can sprite, but only really tiny stuff, and it all comes out cartoonish and simplified. :sadshoe: Not AA-caliber stuff.

Don't doubt your ability. After reading this, I thought to try and make a template you could use to sprite a character.

Spoiler: template
Here's the template on an AA sprite:
Image

On it's own:
Image
Red lines indicate boundaries. Green lines indicate an interchange (for example, the green lines show you where the head is meant to be, but not the hair and ears, as they fit in the red lines.

A custom sprite I made following it:
Image

This is also the first time I sprited a character from scratch (Not an edit) and It's come out pretty nicely, I've learned templates really help when drawing/spriting.

I don't know...The problem isn't getting the sprites big enough, it's getting all the details in. I'm no artist. I could use your template, but it'd still look all cartoonish and simplified. That's why my sprites are really tiny, because there's no room for details. I appreciate the help, though. :maya:

I see. I know you're requesting help in them being made for you, but I've learned when people have asked me to draw characters based on their descriptions, they always say it's not how they envisioned XD (I guess I just see it differently :sillytrucy: ). So even if it's a simplified, cartoonish outline, with only a few colours, I'm sure people will see your idea, and make a more wholesome and detailed sprite based on it.

Also (sorry if this is a little fast or off topic), on the note of animations, It's a little tough at first, but then after looking at sprites, you'll see the mouths move in an "A O A -" Shape, like they're saying "Ahh Uuu Ahh mmm"

Well, I can see where you're coming from. I suppose I could do something like this for the characters that I have a clear image in my head, but for most of the supporting characters, I don't have a particularly clear image in my head, and I'm willing to accept room for interpretation. If a character doesn't turn out the way I expect it to look like, I have no problem with that. All I care is that they fit my description and that they look good. Either way, I'll see what I can do. Just don't expect me to make an outline for every character, since I can only think of one off the top of my head that would benefit from this. :pearl:

Also, yeah, I noticed the whole mouth-moving pattern.

Even that'd be a good start to help, one's better than nothing XD.
If you're happy with room for interpretation, then that'd help out!

Hmmm...I don't wanna sound party pooper again, but...you forgot two things from these descriptions.
Well you said that the characters don't need to look like 100% like you imagined, so it may be because of that but...
...well...Let me put it like this; Jack Speedman, okay sounds easy. We can take Larrys jacket and edit his shirt maybe and then add glasses but...
...Whhat hes face looks like? I'm thinking of a characer like Engarde here but....Then again modifying Doug Swallow could work.
meh, may be just me but I like have somekinda...guideline, if you know what I mean.

Which brings me to the second thing missing from these. The ages.
Okay, may not sound much, but giving the age for the character helps us too imagine bit what kinda person it's suposed to be.
I can imagine (for example) Jack Speedman to be aroun 20-25 possibly and Stella Summers...hmmm...dunno...something yells 30-40 for me.
And ten years is big difference. Especially with female edits.

Meh...Not wanting to nag, but...just mentioning.

Oh yeah; the nerdy character profile sounded so much cake walk so I decided to take it before anyone else has change (XDDDDD)

Image


Meh, not much to say here. I used Gragory for glasses and shirt, then I used Buddy Faiths head there to make the head more....roundy?
It still has Buddys nose but the mouth actually is from Acro as is the hair. The hairline is from Larry and the ears I took from Ryuuji Kamei.

I'm just telling this because...well...Don't feel afraid to move to 256 x 192 sprite edits too.
Sure it means there's more detail to be done, but you'll learn a trick or two to help in time.
I mean; let's take Winfred Kitaki for example; has lot of detailed work too, but most of his poses are just...large areas with certain color and lines.
Same thing with Poenix (hobo & teen included), LeTouse. Armstrong and Wellington for example.
And to tell the truth, sometimes you get lot of details by just drawing some random lines.
Sometimes you get just what you wanted by just drawing something that's close to or somewhat looks like what you are trying to do.

Yup-yup.

Alright, I'll put in the characters' ages. Thanks for the Ash Whipple profile, though! One step less towards the finished product. I'll edit the request list accordingly.

And now that you mention it, Doug Swallow probably would make a better basis for Speedman because he doesn't have hair in his eyes. If you have a question about the guidelines, just ask! Just make sure that you're specific about what the problem is. I'll be happy to help at any point.

OK, so people wanted an outline of sorts? I have one for the new Pearl here. Behold, the best sprite work I've ever done.
Spoiler:

This is, after all, the one character that would need this the most, because I actually know exactly what I want Pearl to look like. (Please don't make her look this fat.)

I tried the template method, and this is the best I could do. Hope it helps! :pearl:

Thanks for trying! It was very helpful!
Ok, I had a go, and is something like this good?

I used Matt Engarde's hair, Pearl's necklace, and Mia's eyes and the rest is all hand sprited!

I love it! Excellent work, never thought the outline would help that much... Anyway, there are a few very minor details I'd like changed...

Spoiler:
--> Pearl's eyes haven't actually changed with the times. No need to use Mia's.
--> Maybe make her ponytail a bit longer?
Just minor changes, everything else is perfect. :edgy:


Well, that means it looks like you've taken the hardest spriting job in the series. Hope you're prepared to do the rest!

If you want more outlines, I'll see what I can do, but thanks a bunch for taking this job!

oh my, well I won't really have much time for the next few weeks, so I'm sorry if I'm not fast enough. Someone else could just use that sprite and make the others look like that. That'd be fine with me.

Well, it's not like this project has a deadline. You can take as much time as you need. Either way, I have some more Pearl outlines.
Spoiler:
Actually, somehow I managed to make all but two of the front-facing sprites by myself, so this post is useless.


Any help I can get is fine! And I still have the word descriptions in an earlier post.

Anyway, I'll try to get some more in later. Maybe co-council stuff next.

You know what, these are tiny changes, so I bet I could even do them myself.

Here's an edit of your Pearl sprite, so now she looks the way I was looking for.

Awesome! You didn't have to make them into GIFs, though, a sheet would have been just fine. I have a decent GIF animator that could do the job. Thanks anyway!

Either way, next post should have some more outlines.

I'm not asking for all of them now, obviously. I can wait as long as you need. Yes, I realize there are a lot of poses for Pearl (there's still 2 or 3 left), but this project has no deadline, and you can take as much time as you need. If you can't have any ready for a few weeks, that's fine with me. Heck, I know you're busy, and even so, a few months won't matter to me as long as they eventually get done. No need to get all overwhelmed.

If it makes you feel any better, I won't actually need any of the sprites outlined in the new set until the second case or later, so you can just focus on the other ones for now. Sorry if I freaked you out with all of the outlines, I just wanted to get them over with. :sadshoe: Tell you what, I can even do the animations myself, you can just give me the finished poses.

Actually, you could be off the hook on this one. I'm going to be moving all these requests to the Ace Attorney Online forum. I'd still appreciate the help, but really, I need all the help I can get.

That being said, the outline should give a pretty good idea on what the scar should look like. Like I've said before, I don't care if it's not how I expected it to look. If it's so different it needs changing, I can do the changing myself.

Maybe you'll have enough time to help me over the summer? :edgy:

Thanks a bunch! I love the Pearl sprites, but there is one small problem...they're not the right size. If you compare these sprites to the already-finished one, it looks like she gets about ten inches shorter. Sorry for being nitpicky, but Pearl is one of the most important characters, so the way she looks is very important.

And then there's the Stella sprites. I love them! You don't need to make any more besides that for now since she only appears in one scene in Case 3.

Anything else to show me?

What, gets down on her knees? That's pretty out-of-character, especially for her.

Oh well, I was able to resize it and adjust it to make it closer to what I had in mind.

I should've probably mentioned this earlier, but Case 1 of the Maya Fey series has been coded and posted on Ace Attorney Online.

The links to both parts are on this AAO forum topic here. There's also a prologue that explains the events leading from 3-5 to Case 1 of my series, but it's not really necessary since I expect that AA:DD is going to make it impossible. :payne:
