VX Coverchars in HK

[Dawne]

I always hated that the characters on the cover of all the rpg maker series looked so awesome
but never had a character based off them in the actual program.

That sounds confusing doesn't it :huh:
I'm talking about these:

Spoiler

Anyways, I'm going to attempt to make those 16 characters in HK.
I've never worked with HK before so I'm going to start with the 4 on VX and
see what you guys think and if I should even bother do the rest.

WIP
First Try

Second Try

NEW* Third Try

That's it for now, C&C?

 

[bulls84]

Lol, I felt the exact same way. I wish you luck on this task.

 

[SteelReserve]

Ooo.
I think it'll turn out to be cool.
I say keep going!

 

[Samboy]

The orange straps aren't thick enough, the skirt aint white enough. Good start tho.

EDIT: Oh, and it looks like she's going to bounce straight out of that top, if you catch my drift. Adjust the top up one pixel. I absolutely fucking love the gloves, unfinished or not.

 

[Emtch]

Yeah, this looks like a great idea. The cover charachters are always cooler than those ingame. I say keep up the good work.

 

[Dawne]

Okay, this is my second attempt at the elf.

I think I did everything you suggested, samboy. I didn't make the straps wider but I made them further
apart and less angled.

I fixed up the shading in some places and redid the hair, what
do you guys think? :smile:

 

[Calibre]

I think that looks pretty good Dawne.  I'd certainly have no problem using that in a finished game.  Perhaps the boots are a little too red and need to be a more dark orange because even though the picture looks red I'd assume they'd be orange to match her upper clothing.  I mean who wears red and orange together!

 

[rikuken]

I like the hair on the first try.

 

[Venetia]

Hmm, yeah, actually I think I like the first try better on all counts. Weird, that doesn't happen to often XD

 

[RavenTDA]

It's the hair. The hair on the first time is unlike the normal HK hair. Try putting them next to other HK's and see from there.

 

[Larynni]

I felt exactly the saaame way as you! =P
But... why don't people also make one for RTP instead of HK?

 

[Axerax]

Considering that her hair is highlighted in the pictures from sunlight (light Perspective), that she actually does not have that light of a brown/brunette color to her hair, it is fairly darker, and has a tiny tinge of orange within it. As well her gauntlets cut off at the finger tips, not the fingers themselves. Other then that I say it looks pretty decent.

THIRD TRY

I agree, I like the hair better on the first try too, so I'm going to keep it like that.
I darkened it up a bit and made the red more orange.
I also added a few little things (like buckles on the belts)

I absolutely hate the boots, but I want to start working on a different character so I'll fix them up
later :wink:

 

[Calibre]

Yeah the boots look much better in that hue.

 

[Britchik]

I think the hair looks better now, it's got more contrast to it. The sprite overall looks pretty good, though something about the top bugs me. Maybe it needs a slightly darker outline where it meets the skin, maybe it needs to come up a pixel? I'm not sure, but something doesn't look quite right to me.

Good luck with this. :smile:

 

[Hanzo Kimura]

i think the chest part need some more details dont you think?
ignore me by the way xD
the hair looks neat than the previous edits ^_^

 

[Gulch666]

3rd times a charm imo, agree with hanzo on the chest tho

 

[Tori]

I like them a whole lot!  Good idea using the cover characters, as well.  I always like them, but they are never in the game, ha!
