Deeb's HKCP Contest Workshop

Deebs · Aug 9, 2008

I decided I might as well participate purely for fun. I like HKCP.

I haven't actually started anything specifically for the contest yet, but I'm thinking of doing some animal, monster, or odd race templates for the fun of it.

I do at this moment, however, have a character I was working on for one of my own projects. Since I didn't want to give out one of my own characters, I've recoloured her for use of others. It's funny how a character can go from a goth vampire chick to a beach bum with a simple recolour and removal of a few distinguishing traits. Feel free to use her for whatever. Comes with a moving and idle sheet.

Cat People

Female template, Tail for Female Template, Female head if you ... just... want the heads for whatever reason, and an example of how it should be recoloured or can be textured, and a male wip.

NEW! Punky Ponytails

NEW! Face Stuff!

Venetia · Aug 10, 2008

765iuh*&TGILhihi9oy(Y(HJ(*Y*&T8tu holy --- that's great!

My only notes would be that the pants need to lose a little of that dither pattern on the front-view thighs, and on the side views, the seam on the calves looks a tad wonky.

If you wanted to split that up into pieces (shirt, pants, hair, etc), then you'd be in like flynn.

Deebs · Aug 10, 2008

I actually need to go back and fix the pants anyway, there's supposed to be a ripped knee on the left knee which isn't there on one of the front views and is on the wrong side on one of the turns~ Sloppy recolouring is sloppy. I have some other stuff coming through soon too, but I can hack this up if you'd like. I already have the hair separate.

EDIT: Have an update

Venetia · Aug 10, 2008

Wow. The cat people are pretty freakin' cool. They look exactly like those guys from Cats: The Musical, heh heh

(except less gay!)

Unless another HKCP member can point out any flaws, I'd say the cat people are ready to be indicted as ...

Hmm, would it be under Monsters? Or else ... Maybe a new category, like Pseudo-Human Templates? (sorry, I'm thinking aloud)

Showkaizer · Aug 10, 2008

Damn I'm in total agreement with Ven . These are awesome. I think personally I'd make the cat's tail a bit longer and about a pixel thicker, but thats just a stylistic preference.

I like em , I like em a lot!

coyotecraft · Aug 10, 2008

Personally I think the female cat could have more cheek fur like how the male does. Otherwise the head looks too V shaped.

Venetia · Aug 10, 2008

Hmm ... Yeah, that would probably make her cuter, too :3

Deebs · Aug 10, 2008

I actually made her head very sleek and plain for two reasons:

1. To make her look more like Bast, the Egyptian Goddess and
2. So I can make a few alternative heads

One of them was planned to have more cheek fluff.

I'm so glad you guys like them so much! <3

EDIT: Also, yeah, no idea if they'd be under monsters or what. I was about to give them digitigrade legs when I was first making them but then decided not to so they'd be more compatible with clothing items and such (since I don't really intend for them to go around naked though they very well could being fur covered and all).
EDITx2: Finished up the male front poses. Except for toes. Will do those later.

Venetia · Aug 10, 2008

You're right, she does look like Bast.

Ok, I approve these :thumb:

I think I'll make a section for like ... Anthromorph Templates or something.

Give me a little bit and it'll be done.

Are those the final, final versions? Have any recolors for bonus points?

Deebs · Aug 10, 2008

Well, I CAN do some recolours, sure. Otherwise they're the finals for that, yeah. There'll be some alternative heads later for the females and the males obviously aren't done yet.

Venetia · Aug 11, 2008

Okay! The templates there have been uploaded to here:

http://www.pixelcocktail.com/HKCP/Galle ... p?album=80

That would be:

- 1 anthro template: 10pts
- 1 large recolor: 3pts
- 1 face: 4pts
- 1 accessory (though I'd consider it more like "pants"): 3pts
Total: 20pts!

Deebs · Aug 11, 2008

Tufted female cat folk head added. Now it's fluffy~ I'm probably going to make a fluffy tail too.

Grathea · Aug 11, 2008

Hmm, I really like these.
I did a quick recolor (hope you don't mind), and I noticed a few things that were off about it.
For one, the shading of the banding works really well with your more pastel palettes, but with my palettes, I discovered that it can look a little harsh. It works, yeah, but I'd caution against palettes with TOO much contrast.

In particular, I noticed that the head in the down-facing row only uses one shade of the second color, which looks a little drabber.
Also, in the top-right frame, the feet go back to the normal HK feet, rather than being claws. The template is fine, but that one sprite needs that tiny fix.
But aside from those, that's some very top-notch spriting going on there.

Showkaizer · Aug 11, 2008

Well in all fairness you shouldn't put lines that dark on a sprite even ,if its supposed to be black, unless you're trying to outline something. So TBH, the problem is in the palette.

I think the tuft version works well...

Venetia · Aug 11, 2008

ah! the tufted version is cute :3

Despain · Aug 12, 2008

the forehead seems absolutely huge for some reason

Deebs · Aug 12, 2008

It's to support hair if so desired.

Venetia · Aug 12, 2008

I actually sortof like the big forehead,

makes them look more .... alien. I like that.

Showkaizer · Aug 12, 2008

OH! I meant to ask. Are you going to switch that blond pigtail girl to the final release version of the temp? It should be a pretty easy edit for you, just a quick pallet swap and layering etc...

Deebs · Aug 12, 2008

Yeah, it's easy enough to do. I need to fix up some boo-boos on there anyway.

EDIT: You know, I've just realized that one of the arsecheeks for the average female template (back, walking) is really.. square with it's shading.
