Due to time constraints we probably won't be able to work on R3's concept, but if we end up having the time I would personally do it. R1's full sprite can be completed in about 3 hours time. The biggest challenge for this sprite is colorization (a sprite consisting of only black and white is no trivial task, and his hair is really not easy to color right). That's already done as you can see above. Kage's proto K1

Anyway, yours is a bit too plain, biggest parts(chest, skirt, arms) are black, try making shirt white, like in the references we saw. Anyway good job. Thou art I, and I art thou...

Though I would argue that he's suppose to be a man behind the shadows, so black suits him well enough. Changing the top to white would require his gloves to be black, of which I am pretty sure it'll be too much of a contrast. I'll see how that turn out (btw the chest and top of the body were not based on anything).

He looks almost too young (for 35). The hair really does look good. We could probably change the original Elmdore's portrait to match this new one. Edit: although, I think the angle for Garamonde's face shape (to the right) is almost too sharp.

Interesting idea Zozma! Maybe make Elmdor match this..it is 4 years in the past. Elmdor's chin looks odd anyway

Seriously, I thought you were joking when Paint, Windows Photo Viewer, and GraphicsGale don't have a Resize option. I feel sorry for you windows users. It is funny how MS still manages to piss me off everyday even when I am no longer using Windows. @Kage: Go download Windows Live Photo Gallery, it's free. It has a Resize option under File Menu. Just incase when I am not around (like today, I am using my laptop).

	Re: [Sprite] Garamonde Elmdore "Gemini's Twin", The Samurai « Reply #19 on: July 27, 2010, 01:42:03 AM » ^ Portrait is coming off very nicely. Though I never imagined he would have collars (but they do look nice). I was thinking that his neck and chest could be a little more visible, you know like how Ryu and Ken's karate outfit would look like? But nevertheless this is fine too. Lijj was saying how the "squared" part of the hair could be smoothed out a little bit more. Otherwise nothing much else to do.
