AlphaZ Template

Ummm... I have that, too.... Maybe I should show you what I have done with the flesh colors done.

PS, are the arms still bad?

I had him at one point lifting his leg and then changed him in about a minute. I didn't realize anybody saw that. Sorry.

 

[mawk]

The arms still have the issues I mentioned in my above post, yeah. Their form is much better, but movement is still a problem, you know?

Ah, it seems you're two steps ahead of me. In that case, I look forward to a filled-in version! ^^

I'm not sure if the legs should be less centered when he's taking steps, though. I'll wait and see, and maybe make a GIF once the arms are finished to get some idea of what it's like in action.

And trust me, it's just a relief to know I'm not going insane. :thumb:

Two things. The first being It appears that his knees don't move, the other his chest doesn't move.

Looks good though!

 

[ZephyrSkye]

Hmmm..... His chest does move, though. I'd look at the GIF again. Maybe you meant it moves odd...

 

[Prexus]

The chest shading moves, but the outline of the torso doesn't.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

Oh, I see. How could I fix that, then? If I change where to torso outline is, it makes the sprite look too thin or too fat.


On a completeley different note...
Yay, my thread turned yellow :D

I would just like to say...

Simple is best. No need to add abs and pecs on a sprite this size. Heck, the HK had less shading than this. I think it would be best to worry about completing the overall shape first, and then adding the small details.

EDIT: I would say that the HK and the Breeze templates are by far the most used templates on this site. Go look at how much detail they have. Basically none.

I hope this post isn't interpreted as flaming.

His walk looks dumb, what he swings his legs wide to the sides in the middle of his step? no good

heh, put some ski's on him and it'll look like he's goin cross country

This. I was kind of going "ew" at the amount of shading, but I wasn't able to think of a coherent way to say it. The shading around the eyes especially -- eyebrows and stuff can just be added in at the discretion of the spriter.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

Okay, I'll check out the HK's and see what I can. Don't worry about telling me how it is. I'm new at making templates and want to learn as much as I can. I mean, I want this one to work. And yes, I thought he kind of looke like a monkey with his eyebrows shaded.

So like that, then? With the moving arms, legs and chest.

Keep Going, Im loving this. Appreciate it very much.

I just hope you make it and people sprite on it, and it doesnt go for months with only a couple characters made.

maybe ill practice my spriting abilities when this comes out.

I fixed his head so it looks less monkey-like.

 

[boon]

Oh, is there a template to those battlers? They look awesome.

Now you have it! That new template looks sweet.

One problem is the arms.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

I'm still trying to figure out how to fix the arms.

And yes there is a semi white ties battler just recently made. It's actually made with GR's RTP battlers, but that is close to White Ties.

Updated:

Is this the shading a template needs?

[Samboy]

Maybe even a little less. But yes, that's loads better.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

Update:

I made the steps on the walking go farther and shaded them.

[rikuken]

Looks cool hope to see it done.

 

[mawk]

The arm movements don't look so borked now that I can see where his arms are going thanks to the shading. He still seems to be awfully expressive with his shoulder movements, though... Make him a little more bow-legged and you have a gangsta walk.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

No, I tried the thing with no shoulder movements and the guy looked like he wasn't moving his arms at all. So, I decided to move the back shoulder up one pixel. It looks like a lot, but in motion, it looks pretty good.
