Grand Tyke.. Brought to you by Wa santa!

[WalkingAbomination]

Hiya! As you can see this is the remake for the Tyke 2 template now known as Grand Tyke or GT for you lazy bastards :wink: .
It's roughly the same size as the older template (compare it) except it's more realistic this time around, play around with it and drop a message

Example.

AH sweet! I loved Tyke 2 I will mess around with it!

Spoiler

:/ I can't seem to shade clothing, I think the hair looks ok I see several things I think I messed up on. I used the HK pallete because i could not get the colors I want. lol I did
try to make my own colors but it sucked. C&C and such!

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Great! Look forward to it buddy ^^

 

[hiropyro]

edited it into the my previous post. :D

 

[WalkingAbomination]

I will try to help you man, first i want you to create the outline for the clothing and upload that, then we'll get to the coloring after we get that settled ^^.
For a start when working on the hair (this is the way i go about it) create yourself a hairline like so and then color the head in whatever color you choose.

 

[hiropyro]

Like that?

 

[WalkingAbomination]

It's good just use a lighter shade though, use the shade of the base color you'd use for his hair, then use a darker color to draw the hair outline.
Don't worry too much about the darkness of the outline, just as long as it doesn't confuse you it's good because you can later go back and edit it, after this start planning out your hair by picturing where the hair falls on his face if at all.

My explanations are crap but it's understandable enough anyway XD, when you have some outlines going we can continue.

I will edit this with a visual on how i go about hair, 1 sec.
Okay here's how i go about it most of the time, this is better than my explanation i think.
On the last two pics red marks mark where i added shadow under the hair, and on head six from left to right you see i added a darker shade to the outline to make my hair..stand out or have more presence or whatever..

 

[kidd6686]

Just trying this out!

Dont know if I should finish it..

 

[hiropyro]

I think I did this all correct I did the outline in red so that it stands out from
the rest of the body. I colored it in as well. :D Hows this?

:thumb: Your explanations are fine! I believe I got what you ment lol.
Edit: XD I post this and you post the picture. :P The picture helps alot I will be back soon I have to go for a bit.

I like that hair meng ^^, if you can't decide just wait till i upload the sheet, afterward you'll know if the temp is or is not for you.

E-
hiropyro
Looks good so far :thumb:, now use a darker shade to that of you main color and start working on some strand detail, see you later then

E-Child hands tweaked, tad smaller now.

One of the biggest probs you had is that you didn't follow the body for your clothing, i think you went to baggy where you shouldn't have, his pants and shirt for example.
Follow the belt line man, good for belts and a guide on how to keep your clothing looking natural, also follow marks for the hands and forearms when creating sleeves, pants or whatever accessories.

E- The size for the hair you created is fine, i just went smaller.

Here is a little quick guide on how to follow these lines, you can see these on the template already but this is easier to read though.

 

[Showkaizer]

I take it this is a RM2k template?

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Wont fit in 2k/3, though i have 2 or three temps created for that program already ^^
This is meant for XP, now i wish xp would allow for smaller resolution but it works well, it's close (maybe a tad bigger) to the size of White Ties character sets i believe.
E- Also has about the same height of the XP rtp.

 

[hiropyro]

:D Wow that looks amazing, and alright I will try again following those tips! Ty very much for the advice.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Np man, glad i can help ^^

 

[hiropyro]

:/P something still seems off about my hair now..(i used your pallets you chose XD because the colors I had seemed to bright) But how does it look so far?
Edit: I just saw i forgot to color in the sleeve/glove on his right arm Lol

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Looks good so far, keep it up.
I think your bangs might be a tad square looking is all, you can edit them a bit by taking off and adding some pixels here and there or by just adding some more shades in some spots to make them appear more spiky or round.. (hope that makes sense)
Experiment a bit with these sort of things and you may come up with a look you like more in the end ^^

Anyone can use any of my colors without asking so no problem.

E-Male and female complete (actually a while back) but i'm holding out till child is complete too.
Fyi i will not be adding hind arms on the side frames, i just prefer this :smile:

 

[hiropyro]

I tried to fix the bangs a little but, I saw I missed one to make it round. :/
but I added the sleeve and right gove (no glove on left hand or sleeve. :P story reason.)
But I really like the way my clothing looks, Now I feel like I messed up a little on the hair.
;/ seems odd in a few places.
Thanks again for all the tips!

Man, I just LOVE your stuff :0
I haven't tested it yet, but I am sure I will
Also, I'd like to point out that many of your older templates are gone ;[ I think you should upload them somewhere else than
photobucket (unless you removed them yourself)
Also, I have got a question: Did you make this template for 16x16 or 32x32 tiles?
Like I said, the template looks great... now finish it )

 

[The Panda]

Twirly it should be 32, this thing is bigger than breeze and that still used 32x32.
WA this looks great as I told you before! I might just have to take you up on that offer to use the same template as you ^_^ (for my main game at least, I'll still use the Wapoke but I'll use it for something else). I'll play with it later and post what I come up with :]
