WIP Pellegro

[JD_Slasha]

Okay, okay... I never seem to finish any of my sprites, but I really felt happy with this one, so I wanted to share it. (And expect some good ole' c&c) I remember doing this same guy a LOOOONG time ago in a topic with the exact same name, but apparently it dissapeared.... ANYWAYS... here he is updated in all new graphics... I've actually been trying a bit to notch up my spritework, I really hope it's beginnning to show. Once I get more organized I'll get all of the past WIP's I've made and ask a mod to merge them into giant topic for me....

Hey, I like the revised version. The dark outline makes for an interesting effect.

 

[JD_Slasha]

Yeah, it kinda' makes it look unique I thought...

 

[CeruSkye]

I'm sure you'll get complaints about it, but I personally believe in holding onto your own unique style.

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Much better than the old one. n.n The colours match up with one another in a nicer way.

I like the dark frame too. It's different, in a good way.

 

[JD_Slasha]

I added a faceset I did completely using only the line tool in MS Paint... woot.. (I'm probably not gonna' use it, but I decided to post it. Woot)

Your starting to get really good Johnny. Your hair needs some work though.

 

[SamusK]

I like the dark outline, it reminds me of cel shading in video games. Good work

Hey thanks I appreciate that!! Any ideas on how I could improve on the hair? ^_^

It covers hair quite well.

 

[JD_Slasha]

Weird how I overlooked that! Thanks Kiniko, big help! When I update this again I'll try out a newer form of hair on him.

 

[JD_Slasha]

How's this?

Good, but one more tip on the hair, try lightening the interior outlines in the highlight.

His hair is wonderful, man. We keep it real with the cartoon feel, no? Keep it going!

Not too sure if I can figure what ya' mean, but I'll look into it...

Yours on the left, my edit on the right. Notice how on mine, the interior lines get lighter as they pass through the highlight.

 

[RavenTDA]

Looking good! You've improved a whole lot. Looks like you are using less shades than before but it's giving it that cell shaded anime look that you've got going on. I really love it. It looks like a little walking chibi/SD anime guy. May I suggest you use the HK line art templates for the grtp? They have less shades and I think it'll go better with your style.

Hey thanks Raven... actually I was wanting to thank you for ur help last DEC on my Cella char... it's really because of ur advice that I sat down and really took my shading to another level ^_^.. anyways, I've heard about the grtp... I think I might have to look into it!
