Chara style for my game.

complaint about reveiwers, the term i beleive is Shell Shade not caroony. They look really good by the way. Kepp it up! ^^

Cel-Shaded, not shell. The style is cartoony, though, so both work technically. Plus, it's not truly cel-shaded, it merely emulates the style. Nice job for noticing, thank you. I really love the look of the cel-shaded Zelda Games, which was my big influence.

I'm looking forward to seeing your game with this :D

@bitemydustin You should work on your spelling :| And it can't be cel shaded because if you observe this "Cartoony" look and see Zelda the colours vary due to the areas you are reflecting on how much light there is :D Thats Cel Shading ;)
 
Okay, I've made the front idles for all my ten main characters (seven of which I shared at the bottom of page two).

I'm messing with animation now, and so far I have this (female template).

I want real feedback- I want these to look good. It seems that interest dropped when I said I wasn't releasing these, so if I need to release them in order to get good feedback, I'll publically release the template when I'm done. Fair deal?

I really think they look nice so far. Whether you release them or not is up to you (but you shouldn't tease the members here, they get antsy about things like that) but it would be cool to see them used in a game.

I'd love to see this template publicly released, they're so adorable. I'd definitely give a shot at pixeling with them.

The sprite with the feather in his hat reminds me of Jack Sparrow. It's a good thing.

Would love to see it released, but as Rye said it's your decision, but don't tease us :P The female template looks good, and the walking animation just seems perfect to me with no improvement needs.

He was inspired by Jack Sparrow's design. Although I originally came up with him after the first movie was released in 2003 and have been more or less planning the game ever since then. Unfortunately I fear that the release of the new movie will make people think that my game is a fangame or something. His personality's a bit different though (for example, he's a good guy with strong morals despite being a pirate- think robin Hood), although his appearance is certainly recognizable.

My game has ten playable characters, led by the captain (the guy with the feather-Gavin) and it's a crew of pirates. You sail around the sea, going to different ports, pillaging and looting, sacking other ships, and ultimately trying to find buried treasure. I plan to have a chart map system similar to Wind Waker.

And yeah- you guys have convinced me to release the templates when I finish with them (so far I have the forward walk cycles for the three of them- male, female and child). Although I'll be keeping the sprites themselves to myself until my game is released in full.
 
When I saw what I would change, it turned out it was only two pixels! Bottom is the original, Top is my edit

And, to me, that made a big difference. What do you think?
Well, Cortez, you have convinced me (just saw the other charcters!) You have my events! (Eh, sword, k, bad pirate pun) if you want help in your game ;) Give me a PM when you start the actual game production and have/want me to do something for ya!
 
A person who has regular arms, there hands come to about 3-4 inches form the knees. Try it and see ^^
I think it looks fine.
 
That template is really good, really reminds me of shining sould, and when something looks as if it could be from a proffesional game, we know we have a pro at this forum very good work.

the actual template..... meh.. not extrordinaraly good, but the things you have done with it have a large deal to do with why it is so good, you are an awesome spriter an original templater and a great addition to these forums.

now please release it all to the public.
