Face/Overworld Spritesets Requests

[IcarusBen]

I need three RTP-styled face sprites and three overworld spritesheets. 

The first set should be based on this image;

The second set of sprites should be similar to the first, but with black hair with red accents and a hood/cape with the same colors, with armor with a more demonic style.

The third set should again be similar, but a male with short-medium brown hair, a white hood/cape and armor with a more angelic styling.

And please, no boob mold armor and no uber-bulky armor. I want armor that'd be useful for actually fighting in it and wouldn't impair her movement at all. Boob mold and bulky armors (or worse, the two together) are awful when it comes to that. This character is 16, please, no sexualizing her. The same goes for the black and red one, though Mr. White can have bulkier armor than the girls.

I am such a dumbbutt....

Can a mod move this to Resource Requests?

 

[Sharm]

What you do is report the post and the next available mod can do that.  Just posting text isn't nearly as efficient.  Moving now.

 

[IcarusBen]

Thanks, Sharm. Couldn't have done it without you.

Like, literally, I couldn't. It's impossible for me.

 

[GrandmaDeb]

What do you mean by "over world spritesheets"? Do you mean regular chibi sprites?

 

[IcarusBen]

Yeah. That's what I mean.

 

[GrandmaDeb]

Hey Ben, How important is it to you to have all of the "head" elements?


Usually, if a sprite has a hood over his head, it is a pretty dominant feature on a little chibi head. You might be able to get the face protection in there, but it would be hard to get the hair, armor and hood all on that little chibi head.


I'm not saying no one can do it, I'm just saying those hoods are pretty dominant.


Unless you are cool with the hood being down? Or no hair? I was just wondering. I was looking at a bunch of sprites this morning.....

 

[IcarusBen]

Hood and facemask are definitely the most important features for the chibI. Things like the armor and fine detailing & such don't need to be intricately detailed, but it should look like "Hey, this is a small version of that!"

What kind of helmet is that anyway? Any other reference pictures?

 

[IcarusBen]

Sorry. The only picture there was this one.

If I had to take a guess, it'd be either a mask or a rounded helmet with a hole in it.

I suppose if you needed more reference photos, Altair, Ezio and Connor from Assassin's Creed wouldn't be too bad for inspiration, but it should look like the picture here, not an Assassin.

Blah.. blah... The character is open to some artistic interpretation... Blah...

 Got it! I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow after work. Need some practice with RTP style after my hiatus

Edit: What the hell, some old lady is harassing me. Oy, Debby!

 

[IcarusBen]

Great! Just note, I put in an addendum at the end of the OP, make sure to check that out. Again, the three Assassins would be good inspiration, though Ezio is probably best, and you always look at Skyrim for inspiration (Elven armor for the white one, Daedric armor for the black and red one.)

I forgot to ask if her eyes are supposed to be black or is it just a terrible case of bad squinting, but it's easy to change. As I said in the PM, I changed the chest, because of the symbol being too detailed for such low resolution. That's actually a disguised way of saying that I'm not skilled enough to play with pixels to create the required highlights and shadows lol. Anyway,

Edit: If someone's interested to mess with her a bit to do the correct armor, I'm fine with that.

 

[IcarusBen]

Nope, that's squinting!

Yeah, I like this. I sent two ideas for her in my PM.

Can't what to see what you do with the chibi sprites and the other two.

 

[eDeus]

Can't what to see what you do with the chibi sprites and the other two.

Just to be clear, I'm not doing the sprites. That's completely out of my circle of expertise, sadly. Not even sure if I can do the other two. Got a couple of commissions booked, so paid stuff has to be a priority. If nothing else in the paid department comes up, I can probably work on the other two portraits by the end of next week.

As I mentioned, anyone else is welcome to pick it up. I can't be the only charitable artist around here able to work in VX-like style. I mean, the cloak is already done, so it's a matter of fine-tuning the details.

And I'm gonna fix this girl according to your notes over the weekend after I'm done with my night shifts at work As a side note, she started with light coloured armor. Then I kind of looked at the reference and darkened it quite a bit to be a closer match. Pointless change I guess

 

[IcarusBen]

Oh, okay. That's fine.

As for the armor, just a few tints higher is all I want.

 

[eDeus]

Hmm... Photobucket is down or something... Anyway, how's this?

 

[IcarusBen]

That's great! It's a shame that I have to scale these down, but who cares! It's still freaking awesome! Hopefully, a charitable spriter comes along for the chibis, but until then, this is great! I love the little details you added!

 

[eDeus]

Glad you like it

For the second pic, I'm not sure what you meant by black hair with red accents. Like, red strands of hair here and there? Not quite sure how this will match the pink cape. I have a couple of ideas swirling in the back of my head and will try to do it tonight before I lose it. Inspiration is a slippery matter.
