Fixed the shading by using one of Millia's pink palettes. Thanks to Darth Akuryo for finding the palette for me. Palette is here:That's all I'm going to do today on her. Not in the best of moods as I found out my grandpa passed away this morning and then family issues regarding that...
So...this was something I was working on...But thanks to being such a dumbass and not checking, I accidentally saved it as JPEG (why the hell is JPEG the default for Paint?!). So, this sprite which WAS really good ended up being completely ruined. Then I tried a second time...And now it just looks plain freaking awful...like...you have no idea how angry I am at myself and Paint for losing such a great sprite, then spending another hour trying to get back to that point only to end up with this terrible sprite...goddamnit all...I haven't been THIS pissed off at myself in forever, but really now. Lenna ended up looking TOO manly in the newer version, and I had it perfect in the original...References:Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyThe last one is what pose I'm using. The other two images are what I'm using as references. Well..unless someone knows how to save a sprite saved in JPEG format...>_>;;So yeah, 1 hour and a perfectly good sprite lost because stupid goddamn me. >___>EDIT - A little update...So I tried to slim her down some and whatnot. At least she looks more feminine than manly...I think. God this is gonna take a lot to fix this up. Also, hair. Not my thing.
*Shwa gently slaps Xenomic*I-idiot! Don't get angry at yourself for a silly mistake like that! Everyone makes mistakes!Fuuu...Now, onto critique.The second one actually looks better from a proportion standpoint outside of the face.See that's what happens when people edit their posts.Don't stick to that old facial structure.I tried to attempt a somewhat better head shape and proportions based on your reference, but it doesn't match the hair. That is something entirely up to you.Also, stick to a limited color count for any part of the body, don't go adding pointless colors you'll only see in one area for one or two pixels!New body seems a smidge better though.*Shwa taps Xenomic's shoulder*You can do it! Keep it up!A-also tone down the breasts.
Ehhhh...I guess it's better than the old face but I hate hair now lol...References used:*Ougon Musou Kyoko's Shannon - Only her face right now, as it was the closest to the pose that I wanted. Only things changed from original face is eye color (big whoop) and the mouth (one pixel removed, big whoop). The entire head was actually used, but I redid the hair from scratch essentially and had to add her ear to the sprite. Hair shouldn't be this hard to do! Also, took me like 3 hours just to get this far...terrible! Mostly because I'd get started on it, and then immediately delete it because it wasn't working out. Mostly by using ironically Shannon's head as the base (I think I tried to use Guilty Gear's Dizzy and Jam as head bases too. I even tried to make a head from scratch myself but that didn't pan out so well). I dunno how you guys make it look so easy lol.If there's anything to do with the outlining of the head, feel free to let me know now since I'd like to get the head outlines done before moving onto the body. I did put in the outline for her neck accessory thing. That wasn't easy to do either...ugh...also hopefully when I do the body this time, she won't end up with super huge breasts like last time. @_@;;I used both the cherry blossom image and black background images from before as references, alternating between the two for the hair. It kinda helped a bit...also, she doesn't look like a man now I think. : S
It looks like it's taking good shape so far. Though I feel like the belt is TOO far down as opposed to the images...what do you guys think? Think it should be moved up some??Also, that skirt is surprisingly difficult. I'm used to frilly skirts like Maria's or Remilia's, not simple ones like this where there's hardly any creases. x_x;;I do think I got the body build right though. It looks slim enough to fit her (the clothes aren't exactly form fitting I think), and her breasts are actually the right size...I think.
everything looks ok just the belt and wast line seem off like you said it's need to be a bit higher then i think you got it XD
I'm thinking maybe 4 pixels up or so should be good enough. As it is right now, it's like her belt is where her legs would be. ^^;;
Adjusted the belt about 4-5 pixels higher. It think it looks a LOT better now personally. Also put in the right arm as well as part of both legs (where her right leg (our left) cuts off is where the boots will start). I feel like the arm and legs could use more work though...again, they're not easy for me at all. Though I do think the hand looks okayish...
Righto. Will do. I'm thinking that arm is a bit too short too. May have to make it a bit longer while also fixing it as it looks like noodles atm.
hello again.....ammm... look!......as yet you was this doing your sprite.........although I think that already it finish..........looks very cute.......I like.........congratulation youI wanted you to see.......i know that not very nice like yours ....but good...ammmm......i really wanted of animate to she...............not is very pretty...but .....i hope you like......... bye.............
That is a really gorgeous animation! Thank you for this, I really like it! o.o!I'm honestly curious as to how you'd handle Lenna now in your own art style, seeing as how well you've handled Maria (or even a shock animation for Maria~ What? Don't give me that look people!). Really great spriter you are. o_oThere probably won't be any spriting for me tomorrow since I'll be gone for over 12 hours (3-4 hour drive to where we need to go for funeral just ONE way, so about 6-8 hours on the road alone...). Probably wouldn't be in the mood to do anything like that anyways...

Yes, that is for Tiki (Chiki in Japan I believe). Just a FYI for everyone, it MAY be a while before I get back into spriting again. I need to get more videos done for my channel (only got one more video left to upload before I'm out of videos) and am currently playing Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- on emulator for the Final Fantasy Wiki. Once I get enough done for both videos (and finish the game), I'll probably return to working on both this sprite as well as my RPG Maker game.I have also found out (from both Tekkanon and a Japanese forum) that there is a RPG for the Sega Saturn called The Legend of Heroes III which has special effects for characters (with matching portraits) for burn, freeze, and shock. If anyone knows how to rip sprites from a Saturn game, that'd be fantastic as I'd like to get these sprites (including at least the normal sprites) as well as the portraits. I do not know if the rest of the games in that series has them though either.
BTW seeing I need total focus with 5 main projects not counting any sub-projects attached to the one list here Gundam warAnimation warsDragon Sword X Soul Edge II CrossoverXenomic's projects aidamecha 3d Gundam ripping project aidI won't be answering posts, Pms, emails until Saturday when I come for updates.
