[MV] "Your" African Americans?

[CrowStorm]

I was wondering if people would share with me any RTP style um, idk, let's go with "charsets of color", that they have come across or even made themselves (either by pixel art or with expanded generator parts)? Right now there is only one skin color in the generator that looks anything at all like the skin color of a person of African descent, which itself sucks because black people have a fairly wide range of skin colors. Also the one skin color that comes with the generator that looks more or less like a black person is, I think, a little ashy.

There are generator parts all over this site, so many that I get kind of paralyzed when I think about the process of going through them all to get the ones I need downloaded and installed. But I also find that resources made by actual pixel art and not the generator are often more interesting than ones made in the generator.

(Yes the thread title is a play on the...unique...turn of phrase of a certain bigoted rapey orange garbage person.)

Try changing the gradient file in your MV Generator folder (or better yet get a few different gradients files to switch whenever you need to create something specific)!


That's the one I usually use. I tried to make the colors look a bit less fantasy.
It's not perfect yet, really could use a little more editing. But I hope that might still help you.


Quick preview ...

You can just change the colour gradients to get different colours in MV. However, your profile says you use Ace, and I've forgotten how you alter generator colours in that.

You can also find a few black hairstyles for MV here.

You trying to make some sort of vague political statement in a thread title? Honestly, I have no idea what it's even supposed to mean.

@The Stranger if I have to guess, I think he's trying to vaguely reference Trump, but he'll probably get asked to remove it anyway.

 

[CrowStorm]

not a he, also the reference was the opposite of vague.

@KaiWeWi & Stranger: thanks you!

Installing generator parts is surprisingly freaking complicated. Like...after furrowing my brows in consternation I just built my African American kid from default parts because I could not for the life of me figure out how to install the Jack's Generator Black Character Set. Oh, I knew WHERE it had to be installed and how it was SUPPOSED to work, it just didn't want to work anything like that way, so rather than throw my mind into a blender full of dyslexic alphabet soup, I just didn't bother.


This is not to say I wouldn't be grateful for a particularly idiot proof explanation of how to make those generator parts actually appear in my generator.

Implying it's actually a person? Puppets aren't people though.
