RTP to HK by Cerulean Skye

[CeruSkye]

I started this on RRR. Thought I'd share it here too. It's a personal project I have to try to boost resources for HK for those who wish to develop games with that style and size of sprite. So as to make this a no brainer for myself, as my time is limited, I am simply converting rtp sprites to HK size, whilst taking small amounts of artistic licence for myself.

These sprites are free for public use. Feel free to edit/ modify them as you wish. Have fun with it. That's what they are for. All I ask is credit for my work. The faces are enlarged from the standard template, and loosely based of Tana's HK faces. So please credit her as well as Showkaizer for his fantastic template. Thank you.


Note: I am very tight on time, so I am not available to modify, edit or recolor these sprites in any way beyond what I have done already. But as I said, feel free to do it yourself. Cheers! ^__^ CS

***I decided to try spriting the unmodded template to see what people prefer.

Here's a more 'kaizerly' approach to mage01. Not sure if I like him:

This sprite is based loosely off the battler for Gunner01:

They're very nice. I see you're using the more realistic faces. Not really fond of the realistic faces, but they're still done well, and it'd be easy enough to change the faces to the original faces.

Nice work!

 

[jbart321]

They are sprited very well, but I don't like those faces. I find them a bit creepy.

 

[Ryanna]

hmm why are the skins more darker? thats the only complaint that i really have after that i luv them but too bad i don't use HK D=

 

[LightAndMagic]

Why do they all look so angry? And I always thought Mage01 was a girl.... I like them though.

@Lightandmagic well seeing that he looks like a girl maybe misleading in the long run, here is a large picture of the Mage01 so you can decide on weather or not Mage01 is a guy or girl.

Um. I'm not sure why anyone would think they look angry. But, okay. They look darker skinned because I didn't change the color pallette of the original template I was working from. That I will change soon. Sorry.

And mage01 is pretty unisex, so I made it a guy, seeing as there is another female mage with blue hair, can't think of the number offhand.

 

[Malachi]

Like I always say on MSN. Fucking awesome.

 

[CeruSkye]

Updated. Changed the color pallette for the lancers skin to make him "white". Like the original sprite. Added some front view facial expressions.

I think it is a boy.

And Nice Work keep it up!

 

[Shifter]

That's the first time I had seen that style of faces and I really like it. Very nice work IMO (the entire thing I mean)

 

[CeruSkye]

Thanks all for your comments and encouragement. ^__^

 

[Sen]

where did you found this realistik face?
(And yes great work^^)

 

[itachi-hime]

They're very impressive. I would use hk's but there aren't many resources for them. I love them but i love the rtp style too. These are more versatile.

 

[Sen]

yes there are not many ressources for the hk... but i think showkaizer work on some^^

(where are the realistik faces? XD)

 

[Malachi]

She made them herself...unlike someone...Anyway! They look great, Jenny!

No, Tana made realistic faces. They're part of a little known and little used template that aren't up anymore 'cause she pulled them off her site due to mis-crediting. I personally don't have them but I remember seeing them not too long ago.

These look identical to those. If you made them yourself Cerulean Skye I apologize but they do look an awful lot like Tana's. Yours have more shading, though, and I guess the eyebrows look a little different, and it's pretty easy to do something within a 10x10 pixel boundary that looks the same as something else in the same boundary.

Anyway just wanted to mention that.

 

[CeruSkye]

They ARE inspired by Tana's face edits, but I tweaked them. I forgot to credit her. Thank you for mentioning that. I respect Tana, and meant no offense. If she wants credit, and she should probably get it, please credit her. The faces I use, I believe, are 1 pixel wider, and 1 pixel taller, but that's just a guess, since I never used Tana's actual faces as a base of editing mine. I just tweaked the head myself. I'm not sure where you would get her faces anymore, to be honest. T
he expressions are also done by myself, although I think someone may have made a set somewhere or other for HKs. If they bare any resemblances, it's purely by chance. I also know that someone had made a face edit very similar to mine. But whatever. Like Venetia said, "it's pretty easy to do something within a 10x10 pixel boundary that looks the same as something else in the same boundary."

@Noobo= I didn't create this though i wish that my art was that good but sadly it isn't. I found that among others of that style of anime/art style on a japanese website(i'll have to hunt it back up). And i have all the battlers, face sets, and stand(dialog) graphics of the rtp characters as well as some new ones that wasn't added to the release of RMXP.
I'll create a topic if i hadn't already done so in the past(though i probably forgotten about it) to share what i have.

That's cool, I'm not really a credit bloodhound, I was just offering info. But they do look good, and come to think of it, their more serious expressions would really mesh well with a more serious game.
