DeadManWalking's Sprites: The Adventurer (Female)

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm....I thought of journey look, that's why suggest Male Archer, for his boots / grieves ^^

[DeadManWalking]

Well, here's a new preview.  I might wind up changing the pants, but here's how it looks so far, complete with extra palettes.[attachment=0:2jt8nem9]Adventurer Preview.png[/attachment:2jt8nem9]

Cool! you're  busy!  That sentinel came out great! I was downloader #2

[DeadManWalking]

Thanks

[VampragonLord]

pallettes look TOO palletty....
Bright blue pants with a blue jacket and such.... just seems too much.

[DeadManWalking]

Just blue, or all of them?

[VampragonLord]

blue seemed to bring it out the most, but as a whole i just think the sprite needs a little contrast somewhere. The main color seems to work because its brown on khaki to an extent, which is "general adventurerness", but then it goes Blue/Bright blue Red/Bright Red Dark Green/light green etc and he looks too brightly colored.

[DeadManWalking]

Don't particularly look at this one for detail.  For some reason when I use the zoomed demo options on Zodiac's palette editor, the sprites come out slightly deformed, but, does the palette look better on this one?

I think the red one looks pretty nice.
The purple one looks pretty flamboyant, but it's not bad.
The green one is almost nice, but the pants I think they need to be just a bit darker.
The blue one just looks a little strange to me.

Top/main one still looks good!

[DeadManWalking]

I think this is a bit better, darkened the red in the purple palette, darkened the green/blue overall.

i think it looks alot better personally, the blue still irks me, but that just might be my personal taste, id suggest wait for a bit more input from others.


hmmm after looking at it a bit more, im thinking i might use the sprite as "generic hunters" if thats alright.... cause they honestly seem to look the part to an extent, at least more then the generic/random sprites ive been using.

Jacket: So I'm not exactly sure what you did with the shoulders and arms but there is just too lark of a block of solid color now making it look really flat and bulky. Two options I can think of; first would be to change the shading or change of the style so that it looks a bit better or second you could add in some straps or something for the backback to add some more detail. I like the strap idea but both have a lot of potential for trouble.

Backpack: So the lightest color on the bag is a skin town and is totally messing up your other palettes. So you either need to not change that brown color in the different palettes or you need to eleminate that shade from the backpack. Both are easy and should work fine, try both and see what you think.

Hat: You are definitely going in the right direction, but it needs some more work. The front and rear views don't look like they have a wide enough flap. The front diagonal is the best. The side view might be fine. Overall they all need a bit of touch up in placement of pixels and color choice. There are several red mage hats floating around. Check them out for reference.

Butt flap: It would be awesome if you could remove this.

[DeadManWalking]

All I did was remove the stripes on the arms, I'll see about maybe adding some straps

I'll see about removing that on the backpack, although I'd like to find a new color to put there.

Thanks, the only reference I have though is the Red Mage available in the custom sprites section, can you point me to some more?

I'd like to fix the other problems before messing with this.

Edit: I can't work on the sprites because my computer was hit by a virus (I've been trying to fix it all day) but my work should be fine (It's on an external hard drive)

I don't know if I really like the red and purple. Hypocritical? Naw It works on Terra but it's too bright for this guy.

[DeadManWalking]

Eh, it's used in the thief palette which I based this off of.  Here's another preview, btw.  I touched up the palettes and the front/back hats.

[VampragonLord]

its looking alot better now.
Something still feels a bit "off" about the blue one, though that is probably just me.
Try toying with the backpacks color just a little bit to even it out, tweak the hat just a tiny bit, and in the "blue" pallette, it looks solid blue at some points, but the rest of the hats have a contrasting color band in them.

The red one looks very cool, but the purple and blue ones need some work. This is a pretty good sprite overall, just consider adding some more shadow on the shoulders, cause right now it looks blobby on some of the poses. Also, can you add some more depth to the backpack?

[DeadManWalking]

Well, I'll have to make all of the backpacks brown to add more depth with some skin colors, but sure.

[DeadManWalking]

Here's one more =P[attachment=0:2xbghcdm]Adventurer Preview.png[/attachment:2xbghcdm]

[DeadManWalking]

Removed the Coat Tails.  But I'm not sure how I should improve the shoulders/arms.  How should I go about changing the shading?
