same size as shovel, aka also the size of a 9 year old. bird feathers do not count as height, final answerĢ4 pixels tall = 120 cm = 3 foot 11. –there are interesting things i could say about the bird feather situation but eh. So not only is Shovel the size of a 9 year old, but he might actually be the shortest in the class … the average 9 year old child is between 120-145 centimeters. i did wonder if his victory pose was any taller than his regular pose, but it’s notĢ4 pixels tall = 120 cm = 3 foot 11. But still not the tiniest member of the cast, believe it or not! –27 pixels tall = 135 cm tall = 4 foot 5. That extra pixel makes a difference for this tiny character lol –Tinker Knight slouches in almost all of his sprites, so I tried to find a sprite of him NOT slouching. Tiniest member of the cast, you say? Could you mean… Tinker Knight? Tiny plague knight, but as we’ll see later, not the tiniest member of the cast –Plague Knight is 31 pixels tall = 155 cm tall = 5 foot 1. This helps keep characters proportional to each other –Worth noting that I’m using playable/Showdown sprites as opposed to boss sprites when possible. Great question: I’ve got the rest of the math (with screenshot proof) under the cut:Īlright, in no particular order, let’s talk about Plague Knight next. So, what does this mean for the rest of the Shovel Knight cast? So when we divide 160 cm by 32 pixels, we discover that each pixel in the Shovel Knight universe is 5 centimeters in real life. It makes sense and it makes the math easierĬounting the pixels in Reize’s sprite, we can see that he is 32 pixels tall. It runs in the family, so I counted his height as being shorter than the height of his hair. *caveat: Reize’s hair is extremely fluffy. Let’s take a look at this boy’s sprite: (complete with blue Photoshop rulers in case you want to see where I measured from) His creator, Seizui, has been building canon around this character for years, and this link tells us that Reize’s canon height is 160 cm (5'3"). The idea was to still make the sprites feel like they fit the style, but in the end I suppose it was mainly for fun.Gather round folks, it’s time to talk about Shovel Knight characters’ canon heights!įirst things first, let’s talk about our friend Reize Seatlan. Plague Knight especially had a barely visible green along with his yellow, and Spectre Knight's original gray made an odd blend whit his main magenta color. King Knight, Plague Knight and Spectre Knight has also had one of their colors exchanged for another (taken from the other sprites) to make better use of them. All the characters are a few pixels bigger for readabillity, but use the same colors and poses, and some design elements have been altered to so they match the character illustrations released alongside the game.ĭark Knight has been given an extra color, simply because he has one fewer than all the other sprites, and definitely needed some added readabillity. I very much enjoyed Shovel Knight, but wondered if I could fix up the game's sprites using roughly the same restrictions. Just something small I did in between work.
