a fresh breeze

[Dean]

I'm using your palette, if its okay...?

I believe thats why he posted it.

I have a quick (and somewhat stupid) question about the palettes; is the dark blue background meant to be the darkest shade of all the colors, or is it just a background color?

I'm using his palette for a different template, though. But I guess its beside the point, anyway.
Sorry.

@ Dragoon Vince: do whatever you feel like..

Haha, wow, my favorite template revamped. We need to get cranking out those new tilesets and sprites, hopefully this becomes the revolution it once was. It's so cute!

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Cool you've added the female and child, nice work.
Hope you make the Obese body types as well, this will add a lot more variety to the characters too.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

I hope you don't mind that i made some very small edits to the child's front frame man, i think it's better to show what i did instead of explaining which i don't do very well :/

What i mainly did was shading stuff since the temp is already fine, and i made the arms longer by a pixel too.

For the legs-
I shaded the legs almost completely with the lightest shade because you hardly see that one knee pixel anyway and this makes the feet stand out more as well as the crotch/stomach area.
I also did the same thing for the hind leg in the 2nd,4th frame, added that lighter pixel in for the foot only.

For the arms i made them a pixel longer, still goes well with the side frame i compared against the male.
on the walking frames i just did the same thing as i did with the legs, i made the arm darker except the hand, i think this makes it look like his arm i swinging even more.

Added a darker color to the sides of the head and cheek, imo i think it makes the head look more solid.
And last i added a darker shade to the side of the stomach for the 2nd, 4th frames because it gives the little guy more.. movement.. or whatever.
These small edits apply to the back frame too, i have not tested these things so if you see something wrong let me know where i screwed up.

New characters are looking great btw  :wink:

thanks for the edit man, works like a charm

 

[Clizzz]

Only two words can express how I feel right now. HOT DAAAYUM
There are no words to decribe how deliciously awesome this is. Now once again, Breeze will rise up and take over the World! And I can finally make my breeze game.

Umm, just a few questions.

(1)  Will you be making alternate templates (Fat, Chubby, so forth and such which)?
(2) I took notice of the style and I've noticed that you haven't quite left the cartoony look you first created the Breeze template to mirror, but you have kind of strayed to almost a VX-ish look to the detail of the hair and the general Color palettes themselves. Is there any reason for this?
(3) Will you be doing alternate poses i.e. Gun handling, standing poses, death poses, or will that be left to us, the community?
(4) When did you return? (Off-topic)

Well, that's it for now, I'm really looking forward to one again delving into the world Of Breeze and getting my hands dirty. Keep up the great work man! (No seriously, with this new breeze you really could take over the template arms race) Peace!

 

[green raven]

@clizz: I was never gone? 
Not vx-like but just more detailed with better chosen colors. And I won't be doing any poses unless I feel like it.

ohw and to answer your first question latest wip

[WalkingAbomination]

Aha nice work man :D, love his theme song.

For the template i think you should edit the dark pixel that connects the arms to the head though, i say make it a lighter shade then add another pixel to the inside for both arms (under first chin pixel), this will give a slight rounder looking shape to the chest area.

E- You forgot to flip the back frame for the child.

better? I'm not too sure about the armswing though :S doesn't look good to me

 

[WalkingAbomination]

I think the main problem is that the arms are not big enough, they sort of droop when they should look more beefy, this might work better for the female version.
Also when he steps the whole arm gets in the way too much,
and the hind arm becomes too thin.

Would you mind if i edited it? I've already made some screen captures of the frames, and i'll tell you exactly what i changed.
E- Of coarse if you want to work on it yourself that's cool, if it keeps giving you problems i'll try to help further.

 

[green raven]

well all my stuff consist of things I did in one sit, I also do it quite quick.
I'de rather have some feedback on stuff before I tweak it to perfection. And of course you can edit it

 

[WalkingAbomination]

I used to work in a similar way with the Tyke too

I have not tested it but it should work fine i think, i marked red where i took off pixels and green where i added.

Really nice job, looking at you and walking abomination, I kinda want to start spriteing again.... but I forgot how so I'm gonna have to practice from scratch again. Anyway, good work.

I know this makes me want to staert again 2. And I might just start, but I am not sure. I mean my game was failed. So If I do start spriting. I better restart my game!

Anyway, I really Love the new look! Theres just something about it that makes you want to snuggle it up, but not quit sure what that is. I think that it is becuase of it's cute look. Well Done!

 

[green raven]

thanks walkingAbomination I will upload the fixed version in a bit..

but for now

somepalette changes to go with the new spritestyle.. what do you guys think?

edit:
@geox-2.0: pixeling is like riding a bike, you don't forget how to! but you CAN get worse though.. A little practicing should help
@xinrua: you don't have to start a game just to take up spriting. You could do it just for fun

 

[xinrua]

@xinrua: you don't have to start a game just to take up spriting. You could do it just for fun

I know, but I was allready thinking about redoing my game. I'll do some fun ones 2. I just gotta find some free time.

 

[geox-2.0]

Green Raven: For me its like riding and falling at the moment... But I'm working on it.

 

[~R~]

i Prefer the Left grassy Autotile in that screenshot, but the Right one looks good for a Sunny Map...

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Hmm both look good but i think i like the left brighter auto tile a little more, the darker would look nice for a woods tileset though.

I think that maybe you should add a bit more contrast to the brighter outo grass though, that might jazz it up a bit more.


Yeah takes a while to get the hang of it again if you've not sprited for a while, had the same prob when i began spriting again after only the month or so of not doing it :D
