A Sprite From Orbit

A sprite, also known as a red sprite, is an upper-atmospheric electrical discharge sometimes seen from thunderstorms. Unlike lightning, sprites discharge upward from the storm toward the ionosphere. This particular one was captured by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. That’s a pretty incredible feat because sprites typically only last a millisecond or so. The first one wasn’t photographed until 1989. (Image credit: NASA; via P. Byrne)

There is a plugin that comes with Krita that exports all or selected layers into separate images.

Its not enabled by default, but its super usefull !! (See my reply for details)

What if, for a milisecond, sprites were alive?

My kid makes games with #Godot. They are looking for a good tool for making 2D #PixelArt and #sprite and #spritesheet for their games.

Recommendations, please!

Dartmoor sprite petrified in a hawthorn trunk at Combestone tor
‘I danced under the tor
On the moon lit moor
One somers Eve
A witch wove me
Into this tree
Moorland now is all I see’.

Traditional rhyme that I just made up .

Well, the same characters not from my ArmorHeart game like #contra that you may have seen on the cover before.

Two of them were redrawn: the author of the game allowed me to use the previous artist's sprites to fix their lighting and colors. The soldier, the dinosaur and the environment are entirely my work.
