Darksy Template - Finished at last!

[Alistor]

Ok, a while ago i started a topic about a template i was working on. I had the original template, made by darksydaz, and a newer template that i had started working on. Well, I finally finished it.  I give you the Darksy Template.

Spoiler

Anyone have any comments or crit? lemme know!

You guys are so rude, the poor bloke has spent alot of time making a template and wants comments and criticisms and all your coming up with is "im sick of this". Perhaps you guys need to stop coming here and get outdoors once in a while or something.

I personally think its really good, the template already seems to have a character about it even though one hasnt been made. The walk looks kinda funny too, more like a march in all honesty but it all adds to it. Compared to most of the templates found here i think its very unique so im going to try and use it mate, so yeah ... um good job ^_^

I like it, reminds me of the cucumber template but it's a little better looking.
If you make a ton of characters for it then it may just get used, otherwise it's just another template.

Like iceplosion said, it all depends on if you make a ton of resources for it. Seems pretty fun to sprite on, though.

I've been wanting more adorable templates like this for a while. The only thing that's bothering me is the position of the arm on the side view. When it is "standing" the arms look far back, then again I kind of don't like how it's in a slouched position.

I think the legs would look great with pants, and that's probably
what they're intended for, but I think it would look funny if you tried
to put a skirt or shorts on them.
That kind of limits the use.

EDIT: Also, In the second and fourth frames for the back view there is one pixel where the leg meets the waist that makes it look like it has a giant rear.

Aside from the somewhat chicken leg syndrome people are speaking of, the sprite seems to move too much in the side-views. Like, in the front/back views, he just looks like he's walking, but in the side views, he looks like he's doing an enormous stride, or is in mid-skate motion ...

Additionally, that outline is really harsh. Don't be afraid to shade your outlines! Remember, they only have to be about one shade darker than the fill next to it. They can be darker, but near the light source it needs to ... lighten ... more.

I agree, id like to see a female version done as well. I knwo you could turn this into a female looking character while spriting but it would be good to have a different overall shape.

actualy i just wanna see it dress up =) it looks very unique compared to other regular templates =) although his walking stance on sideview seems like his ice skating or something- or it mi8 be just my imagination havent tried it though.

Ok 1) I like the template its self 2) I don't like the side-view movement, it jsut looks wierd 3) I like alot of templates, its give options.

I deleted the off-topic posts about how people are sick of templates.

Nobody cares if you're sick of templates. If you are, then don't post. Simple. Next person to go off-topic to whine about an abundance of templates will be infracted. Why? Spam. Totally serious.

Let's keep it on topic, please!!! Thanks!

Alistor, I already made a comment, and I'd like to see your progress whenever you take up the project again

I am so sick of tem- *looks above* Oops. Just kidding, of course, since I make my share of never-to-be-used-again templates.

Anyways, I remember when this first came out. I loved spriting on it..I even tried to shade the whole damn thing, but I ended up giving up because I knew Alistor would do it eventually.

I still maintain this is an awesome template. Great job. :D

 

[Alistor]

well i'm gonna do my best to get a few characters made, but my son was just born, and i'll not have much time.  I'm actually on my psp, watching the baby sleep, at the hospital.

 

[Musashi]

I'll try and squeeze in a few characters too, I'd love to support this template.

(PS: Congratulations on the baby, Alistor!)

 

[Venetia]

Congratulations, Alistor!!!

 

[Grathea]

Congratulations on the baby, Alistor.

 

[LegACy]

A bigger hand would be perfect for him!

And I think you need to make the sideview fatter, especially on the walking frame...

 

[sephiroth_with_a_gun2]

"Chicken leg"?!? I hope you guys are joking, there is nothing wrong with this template. Hell, this is probably the most innovative and original template I've seen so far. Nice job Allistor, some dressing and it'll look great. And congrats on the baby.

 

[RavenTDA]

I think I remember seeing this before. My only gripe is the belt thing you have on their. It's a bit too straight of an edge. It's seriously cute. So how about some examples and a female and child version?

 

[Alistor]

Well, I had a break to get home and take a shower. i had some free time and started a sample Sprite for all you great people out there.

Mind you, this was a quick job, not at all my best work. 

Anyways, thanks for all the comments about the baby.  I'll try to get this back on topic now.
