Gambler Job Discussion Thread (Update on First Post!)

Retardation on my part. I may edit em out... legs came out absolutely horrid. c'est la vie.

[MiKeMiTchi]

I love it (except the retardation on your part)!

GJ.. I wish I can draw like that someday.. bwahaha..

[MiKeMiTchi]

Mav, can you give the female gambler portrait, an earring??
Splashwoman's artwork gave me that idea!!

[mav]

Earring? Take a look...

[Cheetah]

It is a good earing, though I feel like it detracts from the overall portrait for some reason. This is still one of my all time favorite portraits. How is the sprite coming along?

[MiKeMiTchi]

Well, I just need some time to work on it obviously,
but I can say I've finished the arms, many more.
What's left is some erasing, and coloring. That's all.

Hopefully, I can have time with the sprite.

@mav, I think a red earring with fit better.

[mav]

Alright then, let's try the red earring. Does it stand out as well as the white one did? I wanna include the earring, but only if it really looks good.

This is still one of my all time favorite portraits.

Whoa. That's a huge compliment man, thanks.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Waa.. this wants me to finish the sprite already..

@mav, hmm.. I think it needs to be brighter?

[mav]

I suppose I can brighten all the reds: I set 'em up so that the new palettes would have that option. I'll fiddle with it and re-post in a couple hours.

[Cheetah]

You could use a shade of white as the highlight on the earing and then your current lightest shade of red. I don't think you want to go changing the fantastic palette just to accomidate an earring.

[MiKeMiTchi]

^ What Sir Cheetah said.
I guess that would be an easier alternative.

[jimmyjw88]

Yeah. Need some highlights.

[mav]

Alright, I took Cheetah's suggestion.

[Cheetah]

Hmm, try making one more of the earring pixels red instead of white. and I think it will be perfect.

[mav]

Interesting suggestion. Take a gander:

[Archael]

looks good

I'd like it if the earring stands out a bit more, like more reddish or more golden, but that's just me

looks good x2

[Cheetah]

Yeah if you want to go with a red earring that seems like a good way to do it. You could even put a darker red pixel in the bottom right of the earring to give it more shading, but I don't think it will look as good.

Hell you could even make the earring black and super shiny. If nothing else this was an interesting trial in shading and color distribution.

[Zozma]

the portrait still seems odd somehow, i think the one that was angled up still looked more FFT

[mav]

Hmm...What needs to be fixed? The eyes? The chin? The mouth?

Also, posting the modified hair and skin for the male Gambler. These aren't finalized; they're jumping off points. A couple of the guys had reddish hair, some have dirty blond hair, one has dark hair and skin, and one has grayish/brown hair. Still at work on 'em and I intend to have two dark-skinned guys, one or two with dirty blond hair, two with red hair, and whatever else.

[Zozma]

im sorry i should have been specific, i was talking about the girl (if you're responding to me)

i think the guy looks great except the ones with purple and dark blue are a little sharp in the eyes
