Sprite Project! Bikke the Pirate!

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm...Then how about this? But looks kinda weird.

[mav]

Yeah, it's a little hard to decipher, probably because the dark grays blend in with the blues, but it's in the right direction...

[Bloodthirster0]

dunno,adding such a small detail into sprite,it isnt a good idea,just think about craming the skull into every pose,it will be a pain and even if done right,it is not going to be worth.

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm...Maybe. This?

[Bloodthirster0]

Speed Sprite Project is Speedy

5 Poses

[jimmyjw88]

Not bad, looks good but one thing. I think the rear diagonal and front diagonal's head is a pixel low. It looks kinda short now compared to others ^^

[Kagebunji]

Hmmm, I dunno, this looks good, but he looks kinda not bad-ass enough to be boss pirate :/

He is really similiar to 20yo boy, we need something more to add, but what

[Bloodthirster0]

Kage,I've been thinking the same thing,the danm coat makes him too similar to the 20yoM,but fits the pirate style.


What about long hair?

[Kagebunji]

We could try long hair, but it kinda won't go well with portrait :/ Also, I thought of making his arms naked, this could help to change this similiar look, what do you think?

[jimmyjw88]

I think we have to make his coat unique (hat has skull). Maybe that will fix the problem.

EDIT: Long hair...Hmm...You mean something like Jack Sparrow?

[Kagebunji]

Something like this (However you should take armbands from Male Monk, I did mine in 5 minutes, so it doesn't look great). Also, his beard needs a lot of work, but I haven't worked with that.

[jimmyjw88]

Not bad but still aren't unique enough. Hmm...

[mav]

I think this version looks more unique than the others. And for a five minute job, this certainly isn't bad. How much of this sprite is custom?

[Kagebunji]

Well actually the only custom made part are the hands I did, rest is just copy/pasting

[LastingDawn]

Actually his FFI sprite has him without sleeves, so your sleeveless idea is much more true to the source, I like the idea Kage! Also is it possible to make his eyes look a bit slanted, similar to Izlude and Vormav? That might be what we need.

[mav]

You read my mind; I was just about to mention the eyes. This version is definitely the closest to what LD mentioned earlier and what has been outlined in all of Bikke's other incarnations. And with that collar, he also matches the portrait, which makes my life easier.

So fellas, what are the roadblocks in our way to completing this sprite?

[jimmyjw88]

Well, if the concept is set, then I guess the sprite is ready to go. However, I still kinda prefer he wear big coat ^^
Also, do you think we should add in the skull? Looks kinda packed.

[LastingDawn]

Hmm... probably not, it doesn't seem like it can be done well.

[mav]

Leave the big coat version to Jon, since his Cannoneer is nearing completion. As for the skull...forget it till the sprite is complete--if we can fit it in, we'll do it at the end (it will be done quickly, since it won't be that large in scale). In fact, would it be possible for multiple spriters to complete this version of Bikke? Maybe one of you can handle frames of a certain angle, others can handle the custom poses or something. I dunno. I like this sprite and character a lot, so I kinda wanna see it done quickly (as the title of the topic implies).

Good luck, team.

[Bloodthirster0]

hmm,I liking it so far,I think I will steal the arms for Locke,this design exelent at all

just as a side note I wont be able to sprite on next days,since Im not home and Im going home anytime soon and spriting with Windows 7 paint with a notebook aint easy
