man that looks great so far. you really are turning out to be one of the fastest aspiring animators around, keep it up man
MotorRoach said, August 22, 2016, 08:22:05 pmGreat looking so far there2nd. I was going to say exactly the same.
Great looking sprite. The face however.. doesn't scream Cloud. It just looks more like Ryu cosplaying as him (along with the "bulkiness" of the sprite too). Could have used Remy as a reference imo, since he's the closest thing to a bishounen-ish char in SF3.
Would the face in the 2nd frame be more Cloud-ier?I'm not gonna make him any skinnier than that btw, it looked terrible when I tried to make him skinny. It just didn't work.
IMO there's no need to make him skinnier anyway because the SF3 proportion style is naturally exaggerated. He does look a bit jarring compared to his normal build but Cloud always has some slight definition to him compared to Remy.
It's starting to take shape, gaiz:Have a look at these too:Spoiler: CPS3 Female Knight for GDM (preliminary line art) (click to see content)based off this lovely illustration by GDM himself Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyFinal look for Gene for Capcom vs Square Enix:Since ppl are asking if I take commissions, I started futzing around w/ prices and stuff, so after looking around the commission threads of others:5 CDN: CPS2/JJBA10 CDN: CvS12-15 CDN: CPS3 (single sprites), my own style (once I nail it down)-for pixel animations, every frame after the first will run you about maybe 2-3 CDN, and the prices are both negotiable and variable (depending on complexity and size). And as I learn new things, I add new criteria and prices.^^does this sound good?
That's great process buddy! You've been improving quite a lot lately! Keep it up!A few possible ways to make the animation betterIf you look closely I quickly adjusted some of the swords lengths,the arms lengths in some frames and the frame placement (always try to imagine where someone would put his/her weight on during an animation) His standing tall frames could probably need a few pixel in it too (considering how tall he is with bent knees already)
Hey thanks for doing that, I'll gladly take those changes. Just so you can know, he actually remains somewhat stationary in the source (see here at 1:51)), but I like what you did there with the placement. I'll apply it last so I can have the glory of seeing it all in motion. Also, if I don't get any objections to the above posted prices, I'm going to go with them when I start commissions.
I just want to make something clear. As I'm interested in CPS2 sprites, is it $5 CAN per frame or $5 CAN for style + $3 CAN per frame? And what about PayPal fees?Will the price be different if I commission a sprite from scratch (no base)?
5 CDN then 2-3 per frame (I still haven't decided whether I want to charge 2 or 3 yet). The 2 (or 3) CDN charge applies to all styles.PayPal fees apply I guess?no1wammy said, August 26, 2016, 07:22:02 pmWill the price be different if I commission a sprite from scratch (no base)?Depending on: a) the style you choose b) the size c) the design's complexity then yes it will.Everything's negotiable, but if it's something that's really difficult, you might end up paying more. It just depends.EDIT: I should have added this to the last post, but for the first while or so, I will only be available for single sprites, and simple animations. Think along the line of things like Shock, or something that isn't difficult. I need a breather from animating.Also, I will not be available for full char commissions. Like, ever.
I forgotten you said you was going to do a sprite based off my sketch, I can't wait for the final result.
So me and GDM were talking yesterday, and he asked if I can make the character's pose comparable to that of Blade from Red Earth (you can see he's right there), so I changed it.Also, he came up with a name for her: Freya.As for Cloud, I've reached the 5th frame. I'm doing it like this: hair and head/clothing, then sword. I should be done with both Freya and Cloud by the 31st of this month or September 1st (sure of it). Then, no more freebies foreverrrrrr.(ignore her face, I'm going to redo it soon enough.)
Freya's finished. Based her face off of Poison, and as you can see it's much different than the above (in the last, her face was based off of Remy. Big mistake).Color change has also done a bundle for the armor.If I'm not lazy or anything, Cloud should actually be done by tonight.@GDM:
So PokeMon Reborn took all of my attention today,So what's left for this:-Finish the 7th frame. and from there the 8th and 9th.-Fix up that awful hair I put down, and make it something simpler and actually accurate to the Advent Children design.-Put in shading for the sword.-Tiny fixes here and there (I'm eyeing the first frame).After that, I'll redo two of my old JJBA sprites (Prishe/Toph Beifong), and then, commission time. So I moved my bidness to a new dA account: http://yahyanass.deviantart.com/If you're interested, feed my ego watch it or something.
