This is very good, if you think about the size and detail, I like, and I'm probably going to use it!

Thank you and have a nice day!

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Your welcome, zchin! ^_^

 

[Ynlraey]

make the kid a little bit fatter

I love it. Infact, I would love to use it... however there is one thing I think you should add to the template when you get around to doing so. A few variation down/dead templates would be a wonderful addition to it.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Oh yeah, I forgot much about the dead / sleep positions. I was kinda addicted again to Gaia Online *sigh*

I'm not the greatest character spriter around, so forgive me if it doesn't look its greatest. Anyways, I've made some use of your template as I said I would've :P



I've tried creating a black or otherwise ethic character by tweaking the pallet colors, but they didn't really turn out very well, so I've stuck to the basic color of your pallet (changing contrast and other values here 'n there). Do you think you could upload a just a couple templates with varied skin tones anytime soon? That would be awesome, because I try and fail.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Your image can't be seen as of this moment, and hey I'm currently working on it as well.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

I'd like to necro-bump this for some reason:


@Kain Nobel,

the shadings of your sprites under my template were simple but the flesh colors, yeah, you're right! It flunked... btw, I used half-kaizers to be honest for the skin colors.

 

[rozzman]

Yeah, im kindof new to spriting, ive been doing it a while but have never really shown my sprites off.
I made this using your template, which is great btw :thumb: , and im just wondering if it is any good and what i need to improve on, so any feedback is welcome:

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

I like how your chara's movin' hair, but the clothes you've used needs MOAR contrast, such that it's too dark... that's my view-point, as a creator btw. Ask other critics, even though I'm the template creator, I may fail hittin' other good and bad points.

 

[rozzman]

okay thanks for the response, ill try and add more contrast thanks :thumb:

 

[rozzman]

okay ive had a go at adding contrast, although im not quite sure ive got it right:

Just realised what you ment, did you mean adding more shades of red or what?

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

As what others say to my works, you have to "define" areas that should be really bright, such that you're bringing out the lightened parts. Still, it needs moar contrasts, maybe changing one of your color palette to something brighter.

 

[rozzman]

okay i think i get ya, thanks

Okay ive had another go, and lemme know what you think:

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

You're almost there, in my opinion though.
You may also check out my Koemushi works in here, but keep in mind that I, as the creator of the template, have different styles on it.

 

[rozzman]

okay ill take a look thanks for the help though :thumb:

 

[Venetia]

btw, I used half-kaizers to be honest for the skin colors.

You shouldn't have;
the HK palettes were developed for sprites of a much larger, more detailed nature, meaning less contrast was necessary. Small sprites like these require far different palettes.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Apparently Miss Ven, I may have used the Half-Kaizer colors but for one HK blue palette, I mostly use 3 colors from it.

Okay, I might do some experimentation then, for a decent custom palette.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Koemushi EVOLVE! is almost there! Meaning, there'll be some medium-level changes to the whole Koemushi template!

See for yourself:

(Koemushi's evolving! Less colors, and some form changes)

((this replaces the planned Chou Koemushi release by the way))
