Kagebunji's sprites- Moving on...

[Kagebunji]

It might work, but I don't wanna place another sprite on Jimmy's head, so I will wait for his answer.

[scatttman]

i thunk the more "fat" can you do iy is better sainer has a strange body

[jimmyjw88]

Well, I'll fix the hat and waist plate.

[Kagebunji]

I'm having some difficulties with uh...eh... underwear of Kuja. He has such strange design that I dunno how to do it, so don't expect don't much from it, I will post him 03 Dec, since I have to study a lot.

How is Freya, Jimmy?

EDIT: hehe, there is always some time for spriting, here he is WITHOUT the underwear, I simply don't have an idea of how to do it, it's just not enough space. Also some sugestions on hair someone?

[mav]

Honestly, a thong won't really translate to sprite all that well. I think you should just give him pants. So far the sprite looks okay, though it looks like you used dark gray/black instead of purple for his clothes, and the arms look a little funky too. Great start though, keep up the good work, Kage.

[jimmyjw88]

Okay, Kage. If you want to put the underwear, I'll tell you what you can try to do.

1 - Is the sleeve from Balmafula? If no, then try Balmafula.

2 - That skirt around his waist, cut short, something like Agrias because if you look at the reference picture, its down from waist to feet but just the back, not the side. Side is short and curve to the back. By doing that, your sleeves and that skirt won't be clashing.

3 - Once you fix the above, you could try adding the underwear by add a few pixels of lines. Try take a look at Seushiro's Steiner, see how the underwear is done.

Overall, great start, Kage.

As for Freya, its hard than I thought, mostly because of her snout. I just recoloured her cloth to red and add shoulder/arm pads (because its more to the side of her arms rather than shoulder), which I don't think is good and making her snout. Its going to take awhile.

[Sephirot24]

OMG!!!!!!

Thak Kuja looks AWESOME!!!! Great work!!!

[jimmyjw88]

Alright, I may need some help for Freya's snout. It looks really odd and I can't seems to make it right.
Here is what I've got.
If anyone can crack, please do. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind. I think I found the solution, Skeleton. Totally forgotten about that.

[goldenshinywire]

Ooooo, Jimmy, she's PRETTY.... >_< Freya was a kickass character, one of my faves from IX.

[jimmyjw88]

She's my favourite too ^^
Haha. You sure? Because she still looks off to me or are you being sarcastic? Haha.

[goldenshinywire]

No, I'm serious! She's looking really good so far. I think what's bugging you could be a couple of things:
- Freya is more of a whitish color than gray
- She's got a super-cool hat in IX  :wink:

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm...I know that she is white but it'll be clashing with her hair. I'll try to get the white working. As for the hat, yeah, looking cool ^^

[goldenshinywire]

I understand. But yes, Once you get her finished she is going to be amazzizin. I want this sprite!! o.0

[mav]

I'd just switch out the colors you used previously: the more bluish white color should be for the hair and the more brownish gray-white color should be for the skin. Good luck man; I think you can pull this off.

Heheh. The Japanese guys didn't happen to make a portrait for her, did they?

[goldenshinywire]

Gah, it'd be nice. Their portrait guy is fuckin' awesome.

[jimmyjw88]

Ah, so just switch the skin and hair colour? I think that will work ^^
Thanks, mav. And yeah, no Freya portrait but I'll do it once I nail down the concept ^^

EDIT: Also, with that switch, I can free the blue for her skarf because now, it's a little bit clashing with her face. Again, thanks mav. I was cracking my head on how to free the blue.

[Vanya]

Lookin' good Jimmy! I can't wait to see Freya finished up. ^_^
I wouldn't swap the hair and skin tone, though. Just make her skin (fur?) a light shade of grey instead of the heavy tones you already have. Her hair is perfect as is. ^_^

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks Vanya ^^
Fur...Lighter shades...Hmm...But it'll still be clashing with her hair right?

EDIT: Here is the white skin.

[Vanya]

Tough call. I like them both. Lighten the bluish tone just a tiny bit more on the left one and I think it will be golden. ^_^

[Aquablack]

Looking good so far jimmy, I can't wait to see more, Freya's my favorite FF IX character.

It doesn't look like having her hair and and face the same color would clash too much, they seem distinct even with similar shades.
