W-A Halfling template grounds

These are surprisingly cute.
They remind me a whole lot of Mack's template. I think it's the squarish head :)

I think it's the style and the palette :) but they are vibrant and refreshing nonetheless
 
Here's the next character i'll be working on, this first frame is still a wip but give me your opinions on it if you see something wrong so far.
He's blind from one eye (guess which lol), and i want to keep the hair style like this but i need to add something more, some type of texture maybe.

e2- Possible that i may restart this character again.. something about it i'n not happy with.
Here's the look so far. Image has zoom.

I'm not a fan of the deformed chibi sprite style, but it's well done. I particularly like the palettes you're using for clothes. That said, yeah, the obese guy definitely needs more texture in his hair. Maybe try adding some random pixels to break up the smooth highlights or draw in some strands. Also, the way you've shaded the belly and the strap make him look less fat, but I gather from the filename that it's the obese template. I'd try putting more of a highlight on the strap around where his belly bulges, like connect the two highlights you currently have or something.

Edit: Oh, whoops, I see that you already did that. Yeah, the hair looks much better now, but my comment about the belly stands. It's not that noticeable, though, and you did improve it.
 
Thanks and thanks for the tip, i will do that with the strap right away ^^, i think i may also have to get rid of some darks too.

I figured out what was bothering me, it was that damn turtle neck collar, got rid of that.
E- Strap edited, no turtle neck :D

Hmm... I do rather like it! Its very sleek and sexy :) I think I'll take a crack at utilizing it for my game.
Good job!
 
Thanks Ynlraey, you mean FF tactics? I'll look for some game pictures out of curiosity :D

Hope you have as much fun spriting on Halfling as i do ^^

I've decided to restart on the Obese character because i think i did use too many darks around the belly area, that and the strap caused him to loose a lot of fat, i will still use the same look but i will shade it differently, afterwards i will work on Ob female ^^.
-------------
Edit- Much better now, i also wanted to show sandals more so i shortened the length of the pants and added a nifty scar for that eye ^^

e-Did not change anything about the templates, just wanted to use this background color i feel is better.
e- Changed color of hair for latest character because it was too similar to shirt, now a purple color.

Obese female-first frame
A look at the Ob fem compared to the male.

dude the facile tilesets look perfect with this template.. so if you ever think about starting the tiles, continue with these please
 
:eek: the bunny swordswoman is awesome! That was actually supposed to be hair that came over one eye a little but the hood looks amazing and it's a lot more original so i think I might actually change it ^_^

I really like the template! If I hadn't just finished the Mini-Kaizer I'd totally be using these!!

Also, GR's right these looks great with facile tiles! You should do more tiles in that style to fit with this ^_^
 
Thanks guys :D, still have that tileset tucked away somewhere but i think i can make something much better now :), soon as i've made a couple of characters i'll start over on a tileset.

Actually started on one when i had just the male and female, then begun on another for a game remake i planned to make (a FF Mystic Quest remake), i will probably upload my remake of these tiles, here's a small picture.
The big tree still needs work, though i was going to leave it like that for a simple look, same for characters, still plan to make that remake.

On the new tiles your trees and grass could do with some highlights(unless those lighter pixels in the grass ARE highlights, in which case lighten them and make them slightly more yellow).
I also don't like the giant block of dark color near the bottom of the leaves, it's nice for a simple style but it's just TOO simple.
^_^
 
big trees are cool and all, but erhm the facile tiles didn't look bad at all, maybe with a little palette change they'de fit in even better..




rlly..



just a suggestion
 
Grenn Raven's smart. Listen to him. XP
I think these fit better with the facile tiles too, just a few quick edits and they'd be perfect for this ^_^
 
Yeah i did get pretty far with that tileset so okay i will try something with that later on, i'll just edit some things, change some colors and add some stuff from another tile i had worked on too ^^.
I'll get back to you guys on that.
***************************
Edited-
I was going to remake the foliage for a tree i had created a little before but it was just too much work to start on again when i have the template and characters to work on too, so in the end i did go with the old facile tree but i exchanged the trunk for that newer look i had.
So yes i will edit most of what i had with the Facile tileset, that should speed the process up a lot ^^

Here's a small picture of the tileset so far, still need to work on the tree leaf area some more, as well as the barrel.
I will probably not touch the grass, i want everything including characters to stand out from it and adding highlights would ruin this so i think this is fine as is.
**Missing pictures are not important so don't worry about that.
Small trees where from other tileset i was working on as well as the statue.
 
looks cool :)
at first I thought the statue was some awesome mob xD haha
but I think the grass still stands out too much..

hahaha
 
Hey the breeze grass fits very well, i would use it as an alternate grass if that's okay with you  :smile:

Stayed up most of the night fixing things up for the tileset (a one night thing before bouncing back to the character) and so far i redid the lamps the house wall, altered some colors for the cliff, worked a lot more on the tree and some other crap i forget now XD, here's a better picture.

After i finish the obese male character and the obese female template i will return to the tile again, next up is the house roofs and chimneys.
