The Voodoo Template & Nanotema WIPs

[The Data Mage]

Welcome to my project dump. I figured that now with the amount of revisions I have made to the template, additional things I've added, that I better clean this first post up a little so it may just encourage people to post their oppinions on what they've seen instead of browsing then fading away into the night.

As the name suggests, the main focus of this thread is to look at my VooDoo template, named originally because of the plump bodies which on the male first reminded me of a VooDoo doll. I know it's a little late for Halloween now but being honnest, those that follow the more traditional values, Samhein is but one celibration of many.

Anyways, back to the topic:

Spoiler: The Legal Stuffs (Better get this over and done with first)

I am honnored if anyone would like to use this template for their projects so I have decided to allow it to be used, or modified to peoples desires.

Please note, I must be credited if used, I would like to know if you use a modified version so I can place it in this topic.

I cannot bring any legal retribution down on you for stealing my work. But, I am sure RMXP.org staff and members would back me in causing hell to anyone that would steal or plaguerise anyone's work with proof. Be warned.

With that all kept in mind. Have fun.

Spoiler: The VooDoo Template

Male.

Female.


Animations and posses that I intend to add:
Sitting,
Sleeping,
Running,
Sneaking, (Though I'm going to call this "light foot")
Jumping

The Faun edit, Suggested by "Tindy":


The Male Face (early WIP):


Older versions:

Spoiler: Buildings and Tiles

1: This is the first draft of a building used in the center of my first town. As you can see:
It is lacking in detail (although I love the window dithering)
It's now too small since I started the VooDoo template so needs resizing
Is lacking in texture. (people could give suggestions on this).



2: This is the base of my ancient lab tileset I've just begun. Here you can see:
The basic wall (Shape was taken from one of the RTP sets)
A mixture of light fittings (Usage could depend on room, or need)
2 Auto Tiles(one ceiling and one unfinished floor)


Updated Auto-Tile

Spoiler: Bits and Bobs

Unfinished bed: This one will be with the person in it. (I'm working on one with and one without.

Hey that's awesome! The building looks very pokemon~esque

Keep it up.

Oh the shading on the base of the dome looks odd.  :shock:

 

[The Data Mage]

Heh yeah, I'm not sure how to fix that... I intended for the dome and the area around it to be glass, but figured the dome needed a frame. I then tried to split the square around the dome into smaller paynes but that didn't look right so it ended up like that... I'll have another swing at it once I've enlarged it for the new template.

EDIT: I still need some suggestions on the female template. Any help will be appreciated.

 

[The Data Mage]

Update: Corrected the female a little. Is it okay to bump a thread if something has been updated?

Still don't like the female shape.

 

[Band-Aid]

the female really needs improvement.. i still dont know whats strange there, lemme take a closer look

 

[The Data Mage]

Im the same. Its off, both versions have been way off... But I cant get it right no matter what I do... I mean, I've got the walking down for th guy done... but Im stuck on frame one for the girl.

 

[Band-Aid]

[The Data Mage]

[Band-Aid]

well, good luck then ^^
im going to sleep, cya

 

[The Data Mage]

Heh, good night and thank you for your help.

[Makasu]

It actually is quite good. It could lead to some interesting results if you played it right. Other body types are to come yes? g'luck with this though mate :thumb:

 

[The Data Mage]

Yeah, I plan to do the default. Pale, White, Asian, Tan, Black skin tones. (That is if anyone can help with skin pallets). Man, Woman, Boy, Girl, Baby.

Body types might include a + size and maybe a more muscular type.

But before all that, I need to get a basica animation for the male and female.

SO, I ask you RMXP how do YOU come up with your skin pallets? Because Using GR's breeze pallet doesn't make my template look too "different"

Update, here is the first attempt at animating the down view.

 

[WeaponOD]

The female seems as if she has a bloated tummy, or like she's pregnant. Mayeb it's just me, but that's what I see.

 

[The Data Mage]

True, but look at the guy, he also looks tubby. It's the style of the template. I wanted them to sort of look fat. :P

Other than that, any advice?

 

[Tindy]

Well, they all look like they've got their legs spread out.  It's not bad, but this is where my art teacher comes in and says "women's legs go in! IN!"

 

[The Data Mage]

Yeah, I cant help think that. Though for style purposes I wanted to turn their feet out to be able to include detail. How would you suggest I find the common ground? Because at the moment, any changes I make to it, I don't like.

I think I'm stuck at the moment lol.

 

[Tindy]

Maybe just have them turn out a little bit? :/ Like, mostly straight/in and then just little nubs where their feet turn out? XD

 

[The Data Mage]

I brought them in a little. Did this very quickly. What do you think?

[Tindy]

I think that makes a really big difference for the better :D (And with that, if you were to shorten the hips and lengthen the shins you'd have a boss faun/satyr template!)
