DeM0nFiRe's Male Template 01

[Venetia]

Now, now, children. Let's settle down.

Blood_Puppet, I liked the example you did, but it's 100% DeM0nFiRe's prerogative if he wants to use it or not. No point in getting defensive if he decides not to follow the advice. And yeah maybe you didn't want to come off as defensive, but you did, atleast from my perspective, sorry.

DeM0nFiRe, you could elucidate, however, on how you would like your "style". If you were going for blocky, I'd say you got it. If you wanted realistic, I'd slant more toward Blood_Puppet's rendition. All we can critique on without boundaries is how we think it should look, and most people'll swing for realism :').

So let's get back on topic, shall we?

Thanks! ;'D

Heh, I think I'm not explaining myself well. I can't really describe the style I'm going for, and no I have not hit it yet. I am fully aware that this template needs alot of work. I do appreciate any help that can be given. While showing a sprite can be very helpful, it's only really helpful if it's in the same style. An extreme example would be showing someone a Half-Kaizer when they're going for RTP. Blood_Puppets sprite was much better done than mine, just a different style.

Hey, I could care less if my example is used - It didn't take long to do. I was, however, confused why someone wouldn't at least try some advice which could in turn improve the template.

When it comes down to it, most templates really aren't used, but are "anatomy practice".

Hence my enthusiastic response to his declining to attempt to improve something which would help him somewhere later on.

As to your style - I seemed to think you wanted to make a more realistic template, then I realized it wasn't you who said that. My apologies for attempting to curve the development the way you didn't specify. I had a crazy idea at one point that you were talking about shading.

If you decide to, I'd suggest using a palette more like the one I used. (It's sampled from various pixel artist's work who have spent a lot of time choosing the values - it wasn't made by me, just adapted to a usage of a smaller scale than it's previous employment.)

It reminds me of that movie cone heads. Maybe cut off the little point?

DeM0nFire, I'm glad your taking the advice. I commend you on that.

Holy shit, can you make that into a sprite for me?!

The anatomy of the sprite still needs some work though. This was not meant to help you specifically. But maybe it can help you none the less. It's an image of something I recently posted on my blog.

Well, first off, take off your shirt. I'm dead serious.

Now, stand in front of a mirror. Look at your torso. It's not straight up and down, is it?

That depends if you have gone through puberty :P
