Some followers may recognize this resprite of King Knight since I’ve actually shown it at the end of last year, on King of Cards’ first anniversary! Between then and now, there weren’t a whole lot of fixes made to King Knight’s resprite save for a few shading touchups here or there, but I’m still really proud of this sprite in particular simply because of how better his cape looks compared to how I sprited it in 2020! With that out of the way, let’s steel our shovels and dive right in!

While it would be a good visual on how far I’ve come, I felt like it would be a smidge redundant, so I’ve decided to show each knight’s original Shovel of Hope sprite with my most recent remakes, linking to the first remake for each. My original plan for going about showcasing each individual knight was to have three versions of each knight’s sprite: their original Shovel of Hope sprite, my first remake, and my more recent remake. So, around July of last year, I started to create a revised version of my Order of No Quarter resprites, going as far as to respriting some members entirely to better fit their actual designs, and almost a year later… Looking back on the sprites, they were indeed pretty sweet for their time, but now that I’ve been working on improving in terms of spriting, I was convinced that I could do a lot better with a few of the knights… some way more than others. I liked making the sprites a whole lot, and eventually decided that I would follow suit and make resprites of the remainder of the Order of No Quarter! Any longtime followers of my blog will know that posts centered around sprite art that I create are relatively commonplace, and how could they not be? I am an enthusiast of all things classic, and given that one of my very first posts on this blog was indeed a pair of custom sprites, I’ve really begun to focus on getting better and better at spriting, and I feel like it would be reasonable to say that the improvement is obvious!įor those of you that don’t know, my first piece of sprite art that I’ve uploaded here is this one in particular- custom sprites of Shovel Knight and King Knight that I had created back around February of 2020.
