Here's one concept of Ryu's Separation, along with the color map. Basically, his shoulders and part of his right forearm will be separated. I was thinking about saving the blue on his pants for his chest. I'll come up with a couple more concepts soon...
I agree, I really feel the shoulder and forearm seperation are unneeded especially for someone like Ryu.

Maybe those colours can go to his feet(not a total shoe but...), for something similar to SF1. Anyway, it's your choice. Ah. I guess I can just do the feet, since well, it's Ryu. Thanks for the suggestions!
I totally forgot about his teeth. Good thing I still have that light blue up there for the white of his eyes on the last color of the map. Precautions, Precautions. Now, excuse me while I make another concept.
Less extensive concept. Decided not the separate the pants to keep the classic martial arts look. Also corrected his eyes, which can be easily corrected with the first one.
When separating the rest of the sprites, for the shoes, there should still be a patch of skin visible, the shoe shouldn't go all the way up to the pants. Not sure if it's possible to make it visible on this sprite. Plus, if it's supposed to be shoes (let's ignore the toes), the sole of the feet would also need to be separated.
Unless you just really want to do the shoes I wouldn't worry about them either. I'd go back and change the pants and leave the shoes off. I don't know how well the shoe separation will work in some sprites anyway. I'm pretty sure there are sprites where his big toe is distinctly separate from his other toes.If you want to try it that's cool but I feel it'd be a lot more work.
Color separate the separation of the toes ! They'll take the same color as the shoe in the proper palettes, the shoes will just be very large. (I don't think there's any sprite where you see the foot from above or below and you actually see the background between the big toe and the rest)You know, either that or forget it.
I did a very fast one so there are a lot of errors. But here's what I came up with for the shoes. It would be a lot of work. I only used 2 colors to overlay the feet with for shoes. You may need at least 1 more color. Basically at this point you are spriting. It will add a substantial amount of time to your project. But if you could pull it off it'd be awesome! I don't recommend it for your sanity though.Also, don't worry about the pupil and the belt. The belt is pure black. There really isn't another color that could look good. You would have to add some details intoit to make another color look well. The pupil could work with light colors, but it's just not worth the extra moment of your time IMO
I had to change the palette slightly to make the separation easier. That's why the belt is that color. As for the eyes, I had to draw them in up close to look better. So basically the idea separation for Normal Ryu is pants, gloves, belt? I'm not going to worry about the feet, since I want to keep my sanity lol. I have an ideas to keep separations at a minimum, but I'm gonna post it elsewhere.
Let's just not do any sort of feet or toe or shoe seperation, it looks weird as heck not to mention ugly!
I'd add the white for the eyes since he doesn't have that. Gloves, hair, and pants. The belt isn't worth it because it's 1 solid color and only black will look good on it.
Okie dokie. So can I change the palette of his clothes then? Because the darkest shade of his clothes are almost identical to black, and gimp + almost = same when it comes to color selecting.
Yes, you can change whatever you need to make him easier to color. Of course.Also we did lose 1 reply. I forgot Felo_llop replied to your 1st post while showing his focus attack. But only that one.
Don't worry. What I said:- I have a BMP for Mika ready to CS(once we decide to work on her)- Gen is ready for CS.- Dee Jai is ready for CS.- Karin is ready for CS.- I'll CS Birdie once JnP has a sff for him.Also, what I told about Ryu. That's all
I think basic separation is enough the headband/eyes/hair/belt/pants/gloves is really all that's needed for ryu. The shoes really seem out of place on him imo
