Post by: gojoe on August 03, 2008, 08:23:45 pm
we need a Link sprite (commence all controversy, fanboys and other related rants and raves)

I found a pretty extensive one somewhere online already I believe. Search around Deviantart.com

Zelda Link? Oh yes. Finally. I've been waiting to see one made... but it's gonna take me days to do Cecil, so I'd love to see how this pans out...

I got that from the site the Cheetah said by the way, the one in Sen's signature also had a Link sprite I think.
Title:
Post by: Zozma on August 23, 2008, 03:20:15 am
even with only those pictures

this sprite is easily doable, all the parts already exist
its the female theif body
Title:
Post by: CidIII on August 23, 2008, 04:21:14 am
Yeah, but with the sword and shield if you leave them, will mess with you.
Title:
Post by: Zozma on August 23, 2008, 04:27:24 am
its best to leave those out and go true fft style because they wont fit in arm slots very well.. remember aeris and the flower basket...
Title:
Post by: Cheetah on August 23, 2008, 04:33:25 am
Damn you flower basket, I shall not be defeated.
Title:
Post by: Zozma on August 23, 2008, 04:37:37 am
lol, maybe if the arm barely moves.... but that might look wwrong?
Title:
Post by: gojoe on August 23, 2008, 10:42:05 am
i wonder..... can you keep the fairy floating above him? and for the singing part of course should be an ocarina, maybe even make the ocarina an equip to use skills via materia blade?
Title:
Post by: Nagafen on August 23, 2008, 07:32:39 pm
Oh..wow. I'd play the Ocirina in joy.. if I had one..(Damnit...)
Title:
Post by: CidIII on August 23, 2008, 07:37:38 pm
Dude that would be sweet, having Navi float beside him wouldn't really be that hard I don't think, but it would be awesome.
Title:
Post by: Dormin Jake on August 23, 2008, 08:28:28 pm
If nothing else, Navi should be included in Link's dead pose.
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on August 25, 2008, 05:39:30 pm
I'm going to give this a try.
It might take awhile because I'm trying out a new editing program, Graphics Gale.
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on August 25, 2008, 08:20:57 pm
Sorry for double post.
He had 28 colors so I had to cut them down, do you think they are good enough to begin spriting?
Also I should be able to put a Navi in there but she'd have to be green, can't spare colors to make her blue.

Sorry sir,  won't happen again!

Here is an updated Link. He's actually turned out much better than I thought! The side view and the last one look wonky to me.

EDIT: Note to self, move hat over in frame 4 and fix shading in frame 6.

@ gojoe, Someone could turn the Chocobo in to Epona

Post by: Zozma on August 26, 2008, 12:37:58 am
looks great, but make the green part of the eye using the darkest shade of green

Yeah his eye was blue but I had to cut the blues, I think I put the green as a place holder.

You guys think I should add Navi? I agree with gojoe that I need to make her brighter.
Title:
Post by: Dormin Jake on August 26, 2008, 02:14:31 am
My personal opinion would be no Navi.  Link only had a constant fairy companion hovering over his shoulder in the two N64 games, iirc, so I think there's enough precedence to go non-fairy.  

However, like I said before it would be cool to have a fairy floating over Link when dead.  It could either be like Navi yelling at him to wake up, like at the beginning of Ocarina of Time, or the fact that in the same game a bottled fairy could bring Link back to life by flying over his corpse.
Title:
Post by: CidIII on August 26, 2008, 02:16:27 am
It'd be cool to have the fairy, maybe 2 versions?

Definitely make Navi white instead of green if you are.

Those arrows in your first pic are horrid  :D
Title:
Post by: Luiakyn on August 26, 2008, 04:29:48 am
Very nice

I'd say no Navi :/
Title:
Post by: Cheetah on August 26, 2008, 04:36:55 am
You need some pointy ears on Link. Navi on the death frame is great.

Quote from: "CidIII"Those arrows in your first pic are horrid  :D

Leave me poorly handrawn arrows alone, they did nothing to you.

And there is only one death frame so she would be stationary.

Post by: KazeKasano on August 26, 2008, 11:54:59 am
I like it. The hat could be a bit "softer" (I don't know any other way to put it), but then again, it might go out of frame if you change it....
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on August 26, 2008, 02:33:01 pm
Hey I need some opinions,
Around his leggings I don't know which color works.
Brown or the dark green, If those don't work what color should I try?
Also I edited his kilt thing to make it more like a kilt than the Female Thief's shorts.
@Cheetah, pointy enough for ya?
Title:
Post by: gojoe on August 26, 2008, 04:06:53 pm
hmmm dark green i prefer, also i want to keep the chocobo and add empona both being able to mount
Title:
Post by: CidIII on August 26, 2008, 06:40:14 pm
A stationary Navi Death frame would be weird.
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on August 26, 2008, 07:42:21 pm
Good news fellas and maybe fellettes?
I was removing the random brown pixels all his tunic and it turns out that it freed up a color! What should I use it for? I was thinking a color to replace the dark green around his legs because that green is the same shade as the darkest shading on his tunic skirt.
Any ideas?
Title:
Post by: gojoe on August 26, 2008, 08:41:35 pm
well another green shade Or if youre're gonna go navi a blue shade so you can also do his eyes
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on August 26, 2008, 10:47:58 pm
So I was trying out putting Navi in, I thought it looked pretty sweet, and I got to the dead poses... and then it hit me like a turd in the face.
Instead of having a stationary floating Navi, have a dead Navi lying on the floor next to him or on his back or something?
Sound good?

Im gonna post a video of her with her little wings flapping maybe tommorrow depending if work turns out to be 15 hours like last time.
Title:
Post by: Zozma on August 26, 2008, 10:52:18 pm
sounds good, especially since she wouldnt be able to be at the same height with the character lying on the ground, AND wouldnt move at all
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on August 27, 2008, 02:07:16 am
Her wings flutter just fine but...my PC isn't strong enough to run Camtasia and ePSXe at the same time so its very choppy, anyone know how Cheetah made that walking gif?
Title:
Post by: Cheetah on August 27, 2008, 03:31:22 am
It is just a GIF which many programs have the capability to make. I think Graphics Gale does though I didn't use that. I used an Adobe program that is packaged with Photoshop called...I think it is Adobe Image ready. Either way GIFs are really easy and popular so if you just search it you will find some freeware that will do the trick.
Title:
Post by: gojoe on August 27, 2008, 04:22:06 pm
crazy idea: if people dont want navi they can put in a link with and without the navi sprite, then make an event where he swats her dead or puts her in a bottle..... *gasp* link special item fairy in a bottle accessory! Effect(for those of you who live under a rock on the moon): auto raise

Post by: Kenshin72 on August 29, 2008, 10:05:58 pm
Sorry guys, I'm going on a little vacation tomorrow so I can't finish Link this weekend, but he's almost done. I'll post some more picture laters
Title:
Post by: Kenshin72 on September 13, 2008, 06:23:19 pm
Link is 99% done. I just got to make a portrait (anybody want to volunteer?) and fix his hat in a few frames. I also added 3 palettes, Green(Kokiri), Red(Goron), and Blue(Zora).
Title:
Post by: Cheetah on September 13, 2008, 06:28:49 pm
Sounding good. I might feel inspired to do the portrait after I see the finished sprite.

Post by: Nagafen on September 14, 2008, 07:21:14 am
Wow. This looks real good, Kenshin.
