Some Custom-Drawn Battlers

[Shade the Mystic]

I couldn't find the battlers I wanted for a game I was working on a while ago, so I made my own. These were all drawn by me, but if anyone wants to use them, they don't need to give me credit.

Spoiler

Meteor Hammer Ninja

Naginata Ninja

Male Ninja

Trenchcoat Hero

Rogue Ninja

Woad Warrior

Arabian Knight

Trenchcoat Monster

Insanity Elemental

Redrawn Witch

Redrawn Mage

Redrawn Pirate

FF7-style Swordsman

Queen of the Undead

They're cool, but... Slightly odd... Something seems a bit off.
Maybe it's the angle... I dunno... Just something a bit off, as a whole.
Though, awesome, very awesome.
I like.

 

[Shifter]

I like em..different style..which is always nice.

Mad Musician

I like your imagination and the battlers'design... even if, for some of them, they're anti-gravitation.
Bad thing that their size are so different.

 

[Mascarpone]

the color choices are kind of horrible, too bright and clashey or just black and red. I dont feel like sugar coating this tonight. Re-ases your color theory. can u really not see how clashey that is <<?

The queen of the undead looks great.  They could all use a lot of work in some ways but it's mostly stuff you will learn through experience.  So unless you're looking for a brutal artistic critique   I do like the general design, the pose, it all fits the character's look and feel.  You will have a problem combining so many scales and perspectives on a battlescreen, though.  Generally you want them to have a fairly consistent point of view and scale across all battlers.

insanity elemental, lol xD thats great xD

 

[zenrdy]

Trenchcoat Monster looks awesome

 

[Shade the Mystic]

Just some generic monsters this time.

Spoiler

A basilisk,

Dryad,

Clearly a scorpion,

Flan-type thing,

And a raptor, which I'm not really all too wild about and I plan to redraw, but someone else might find a use for it, at least.

 

[HydraulicSandwich]

nice work, but ugly.

the execution is really nice, but the concept and creativity is lacking.

 

[Sonata]

nice work, but ugly.

Paradox?

And although I'm not a fan of the colouring, I disagree with you about the creativity level. For example the insanity elemental and the mad musician are quite original.

Well thank you for that at least, Money. Maybe it's not art, but if it's at least something new, then I think I've done alright for myself. And of the forty-someodd battlers and facesets I've done for two other projects, I haven't heard any complaints from those people, so I think I'm doing something right, even if I'm the only one.

So I think I'll just keep on putting what I finish up here, thank you very much, HS. Ugly or not.
And with that in mind...

And if anyone has any problem with these, maybe you could offer up solutions instead of pointing out problems? Sorry if I sound a little bitchy, it's just...I'm incredibly sleep-deprived, not that anyone cares about my stupid little problems, and it sort of makes me defensive.

 

[Neverplayd]

Well, I can understand why you are sleep-deprived (posting at 4:30 am? ...or atleast where I am at, your post is at 4:30 am). However, I think you are missing some of the solutions they are giving.

You will have a problem combining so many scales and perspectives on a battlescreen, though.  Generally you want them to have a fairly consistent point of view and scale across all battlers.

And there was some more good criticsm up there. I don't really understand the lack of creativity and some of the other comments, but some solutions would be to make your battlers more consistently scaled and given a similar perspective, like what Nphyx said, and to choose colors that don't clash as much, like what Mascarpone said.
But these are good battlers; Keep it up.

The queen of the undead is censored...

The queen of the undead is censored...

Yeah but he isn't paying much for those censor bars, you can still see the nipples showing through !

I think these are really cool, I absolutely love the FF7 one ! Keep them coming !

Actually, she's not censored, it's just her...top, I guess. I never really intended for this to be a battler, but I thought, what  the hell, right?
