Wakka WIP (first attempt)

[RolyTunedIn]

here is wakka in progress... yea i know some of the pixels in the hair is too thin... the colors is still being picked out (bandana and hair color is not official)... it's still being worked on... tell me what you guys think, should i continue it?

[Jumza]

if you do a portrait like this tone the colors down alot way too bright

[mav]

Bandanna looks flat and cartoonish, just take it straight from the male Monk, take the knot from the female Samurai, and the loose ties from the female Thief. And even if you're just messing around, those colors are insane. They distract from what could be good aspects of the sprite. And I'd use a different face than Golagros's for Wakka. Krobelus was headed in the right direction, but the hair ended up looking too fake.

5 minute WIP:

[Seushiro]

looks like your attempts are better. . . here was my try. . . EPIC FAIL!!!

[Krobelus]

@Roly - Looks like you took the top from the KH: Chains of memories sprite. That's probably why it's too colorful.

@Mav - So far yours is my favorite. It looks very FFT-like, and looks like Wakka. But the only thing I see that could be changed is the shoulder part to match the colors of his shoulder straps.

@Seushiro - O.o.. I'm not even gonna say anything haha. Get working on your program so things like this are easy as pie! >=P

[mav]

Alright, well I've been in the mood to just mess around, so I'm using this portrait as a guinea pig. I didn't get to cleaning up the shoulders yet (I'll probably try and give him some suspender-like straps or something), but I did add some facial hair, swap out the eyes, and give him a new smile. Somehow all this made it look a bit too different from the old one so...

Oh and the hair needs work--I stole it from Roly, but I think the coloring is still off or it lacks that FFT quality. But it's a work in progress, so what could you expect...

[Krobelus]

Mav that looks great!

MiKeMiTchi "Mav should make Wakka's face a bit fatter. He had the best attempt so far, and the beard should be removed, or lessened a bit."

I think the hair looks great. Wakka also has hair that comes out behind his ears a little bit, but that's not all too important. And on the contrary, I think it looks very FFT, compared to my portrait attempt haha.

Oh and I noticed that his ears hide under his bandana. Not sure if you wanna add that or not.

looking nice mav, but as someone mentioned, the hair was taken from the kingdom hearts series. didn't have much time to recolor or anything because i was late for work....

Very nice Wakka portrait mav ^^

Ver 3.0:

[Fein]

The long part of the spike comes out of nowhere, the surrounding spikes need to gradually get bugger to lead up to the larger spike. It's either that or make the big spike wider and less of an incline. It might just be my opinion, but it looks funky the way it is now.

[RolyTunedIn]

i think that his hair looks fine. but in my opinion, he needs to be fatter... he looks kind of like a leprechaun lol. i imagined more manly shoulders and a thicker neck... the strap on his shoulder looks kind of like a robe... i think that his ear should be tucked in the headband (he's got some pointy ears). i also cant help but to say that it looks like his headband should be moved down a little bit. the chin hair was more like a buzz cut, but that's on you. that's pretty much what i think...

[mav]

As far as the chin hair goes--it's tough to give that stubble look in FFT--I messed around with it, but couldn't get it right. I'll tuck that ear in too (I thought I already did, but apparently I didn't...) and will definitely work on the clothes again. As for a bulkier neck, I'll look into it. It seems too uncharacteristic for FFT though...I'll mess around with the face shape too. Right now he's a skinny little man, so I guess that needs some fixing too.

[RolyTunedIn]

i think that it should be okay to make him fatter, they have other fat people in the game. i think that he also needs a darker skin tone.

[Krobelus]

Yeah I was thinking the same skin tone as Rafa. It's not as dark as Malak either.

[mav]

Whoops...I used Malak's skintone instead of Rafa's...Anyway, this is basically a rehaul of the Wakka portrait: rounder face, thicker neck, and clothing that needs to be replaced and recolored.

EDIT: I removed his clothing, temporarily. It'll be easier to put the suspenders on a shirtless body than a fully clothed body. I'll need to cut the portrait down to size too, but now it's on track.

[MiKeMiTchi]

He looks young.
I don't think a rounder face would fit. Other than that, it's good.

[kafei]

That's definitely on the right track, mav. Looking good.

[Seushiro]

Great rehaul mav. ..  that is quite a great success with making the flesh parts. . . and yeah he does not look a little skinny man anymore. . . but

[jimmyjw88]

Looking great mav.
