Sprite Project! Bikke the Pirate!

[mav]

Hmm...how challenging would it be to get those arms and collar onto the sprite that Aquablack posted earlier?

[Kagebunji]

Nice thinking Mav, it shouldn't be hard, but find someone who will do it :/

[LastingDawn]

Perhaps we should reverse gears a little... Jon completed a Fantastic concept for a Cannoneer which, in my opinion, does not look too far from a pirate. Would it be possible for one of our spriters (or mayhaps Jon himself?) to modify that sprite and make it look more as to the planned Bikke? I think it would make the work a lot less painless.

[Bloodthirster0]

something like that?

not final version,just lazy to make a definitive version atm

[LastingDawn]

Something in that line, yes. With of course a skull and crossbones on that hat, heh.

[Kagebunji]

IMO his colors should be a mix between black and red + those whites for crossbones and outlines. And also, he should have a coat, like that Canooner.

[LastingDawn]

Yes, I really like that Cannoneer coat, personally. Though in all of his art (which is really just a sprite) his clothes are shown as blue shirt and black pants.

[Bloodthirster0]

here a more developed version,I though about the canoneer coat,but I think if we add it,he will look alike the canoneer.

red?I though a mix of black and white.btw,Im having problems with the beard and the skull

[mav]

Very nice! And I agree that if we're gonna use the Cannoneer coat and hat, we might as well just throw a beard on the Cannoneer and call this complete. Anyways, getting the skull on this hat is going to be a huge challenge, so just hold off for a while. And Jon's still tweaking the shading on his Cannoneer anyways, so you may want to wait a while before using that hat. As for the beard...the main issue is the colors--having a dark coat and a dark beard will lead to some very strange looking results. I suggest taking Dycedarg's beard, replacing the coat and hat color with something blue (female Samurai may suffice), and using the brown from boots to color in the beard.

[LastingDawn]

Mav has the right idea. The Cannoneer cape looks close to a Pirate Captain's outfit, while the normal pirates can work as just normal sprited thieves (as they no longer exist in the game). With perhaps... a unique palette.

[Bloodthirster0]

maybe we can complete both warjilis sailors,they fit well as pirates

[LastingDawn]

The problem is "complete" it seems people sprite for a while, and then grow sick of it, leaving piles upon piles of abandoned projects in their wake. I think I should stop relying on unique sprites and use modifications of existing sprites.  Since it seems that people really only have the patience for slightly modified sprites.

[mav]

I agree--it's taking quite a while for custom sprites to be completed. We don't necessarily need to take them off the table, but I suppose they're not worth relying on. If the Warjilis sailors get completed, we should definitely utilize 'em. In the meantime, we can make do with what we have.

[LastingDawn]

Precisely, make do with what is available. It seems a rather simple guide to follow, hehe.

[jimmyjw88]

I'm so so sorry for dissappointing you, Sir LD. I'll complete the sprites ASAP.

[Bloodthirster0]

Down to 16 colors + mav suggestion + beard

just missing the skull

[jimmyjw88]

Bikke (Skull) Test

[LastingDawn]

That doesn't look bad at all, we might not need the Cannoneer's coat at that rate. Also Jimmy it's not your fault, sometimes people just don't have the energy to finish something at the current time.

[jimmyjw88]

Well, I'm back continuing the sprites when I saw that you're dissappointed with all those half-hanging sprites. I will finish them ASAP.
Sorry for letting you down, Sir LD. I'll post some updates on Scholar soon.

[mav]

The skull looks a little too big, if you ask me. Though I don't know whether making the skull smaller will work...
