[Hi Res] Dante (from Devil May Cry) by NiO

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

well, here is my first attempt to edit a HR sprite, I decided to try Dante and see how is looks...

the sprite base is Johnny... (is quite obvious)
but the sprite isn't finished, I need to find pics of his sword and other pics to better references (yeah, I don't know how the sword looks...not even his name...)

If someone wants to help with the pics, that would be cool.


NEW ONE


feedback is always welcome  (SPRITE NOT FINISHED)   

I will continue working on him...

[Blind.]

Nice GGXX edit.

[Some Random Guy]

Impressive.

I see the sprite isn't finished, so for whatever it's worth:

Work on better outlining features like the boots and jacket straps to conform to the rest of the sprite. Speaking of the strap, that shading has to go; it would be best if the straps had no shading. And the buckles are uneven in side, and need more detail and different shading to be convincing metal buckles. The boot on his left right leg is too small/low. And I have no idea why there is red on his boots at all.

I don't like the shading on his left right arm.

[c00p]

add more shading around the dick area 

[Titiln]

it's good but i wish you didn't use the same exact stance as johnny's

[Denariax]

And it doesn't do Guilty Gear OR DMC any harm.

SSS for you.

@ Street Spriter: I see your points, about the boots, you are right, I forgot to remove the red line (Johnny has them)... I would work on the metal convincing issue, and about the shadows, those shadows are the default ones, I haven't improve them yet.

it's good but i wish you didn't use the same exact stance as johnny's

I will change it, cause I want him to have both arms aside.

add more shading around the dick area

Haven't touched that area, but is a good point. (cause it looks a bit flat)...

I will improve the sprite later, THNX for the feedback, it helps!

And about Dante's sword...

[Titiln]

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

check first post...

Sword don't still untouched... 

feedback is welcome 

[GoreWhore]

it's good but i wish you didn't use the same exact stance as johnny's

hes not done with it,  but ya i do also hope he changes it up a lot too

[Titiln]

hes not done with it

he wants feedback on it regardless

the new sprite is a huge improvement and i look forward to the finished version

[Peter H.]

That's a horrible second player color

Name of the sword is Alastor

[Rōjenomu]

probably to spot messed up pixels, for instance his shoes

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

probably to spot messed up pixels, for instance his shoes

you are totally right, I need to use ugly and differents colors to improve the similars ones that aren't in the right place...

like the shoes (in the original one I can't notice that detail)...

in fact is better to work in that way, for example, some colors of the first sprite can be sonfused on photoshop or other programs and look like shared ones (causing troubles later)...

OFFTOPIC: I have been muted on MI for my opinion on Dante of Alexlexus... like I said before, I'm afraid to post there cause most of the users get warned....and now, that makes me wanna kick some asses!

The chest area looks bad.

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

The chest area looks bad.

explain... how can I improve?

[Rōjenomu]

yeah i use wacky colors to when i edit+ split palettes
M.I got you outflanked huh just for having an opinion? nothing new bro

[walt]

The strap around the chest looks too dark and misplaced, needs some antialiasing and adjusting to the body, instead of just being a think line.

The chest, unless you actually didn't modify it, looks badly shaded, lines don't "flow" in. That's just from the top of my head that I looked at it 15 mins ago (can't see images right now): EDIT: got the image. your lightsource comes from the front right, and you add shadows as if there was soemthing in the middle of his chest covering the light

Face expression doesn't convey Dante's personality, he's not a shadowy guy. Needs more eyes.

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

yeah, I see your point... I will modify it next time, It doesn't looks SO bad, but can be better (cause I see a few mistakes right now)...

also his clothe on the chest is unfinished (I just saw it)

xD

about the strap, maybe making it less dark, it would look good, cause to me it looks like in the pics.
