I would like to know if there is any Mai Shiranui character that uses the color separated sprites. I found the (CVS) sprites but I don't know if any creator used them. Of course I would also like to know if there is an alternate color separated SFF for existing Mai characters.
Same thing for color separated Kula, the neo-geo resolution version. I found the CS sprites but I don't know which (if any) of the created characters use the CS sprites.
I'm not really a professional so some tips that may not be THAT useful...
1. Control lighting. In other words, use artificial light preferably. 2. Have a one color background, anything covering the background in a ridiculous color works, like the usual lime green or something like that, the more it differs from the colors of the character the better 3. Do a progressive and controlled reduction of image colors. You can start with 32bit, do some adjustments then reduce to 24/16 and then to 8bit with preferably a pre-made palette based of the character colors.
Well, I suggest you study a bit this theme before going further with the development. Unless you make a good palette it will not go well...
Character seems good enough for me but later we will have tons of KOF XIII characters with many versions (including lame evil, dark, orochi, shin, etc... versions) to choose from.
