A new character (re-updated)

La Lore · Mon 29/09/2003 18:52:34

This is my first pic of a character made with the computer.
Farlander is teaching me how to paint with the comp.
This character is similar to FarlanderÂ´s new character in Sam&Max style ---> http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=8769

I hope that it likes you

Hurrah it is cool, you have the same talent of Farlander

Are you the same person ^_^

I like the hair but im not sure she would be wearing high heels if she was cheerleading.

Anyway, its good

keep at it

Awesome first character La Lore!

I like it a lot! Now if you really want to impress up ... animate it

As for what Tier said I think I have to agree ... cheerleading in high heels? That could be dangerous!!

Great job!

Edit - If she's cheering for AGS I'm glad to be on the team!!!

Incredible... I go to work... And when I come back, I have a post-it attached to my comp... Lore has posted in Critics Lounge! :o

BTW, nice paint... But I havenÂ´t tech you, you did it alone Lorena... I really like the sprite, but weÂ´ll work so it will seem that both sprites have been done by the same person.

That makes me question to myself... The background tutorial will take me so much time, time that I donÂ´t have, sorry... So, will you people be interested in one characters tutorial?

I really like the style.

Some quick modifications:

Nacho · Tue 30/09/2003 12:02:35

Here is my version... As you can see... I just use the dress, sorry Lorena

BTW.. i havnÂ´t explained well to her which char she must be... She must be a little bit "inaccessive" at the beginning...

IÂ´ve removed teh high heels in one of the versions.

Edit: SheÂ´s not an AGS girl... SheÂ´s a girl of the "Arthur Gray Smith" High School. ItÂ´s a little in-joke

Barcik · Tue 30/09/2003 12:50:29

Very nice, Lorena!

I think there's something wrong with her smile, it's too pointy.

And Nacho - wow!

Ishmael · Tue 30/09/2003 15:21:25

That looks really nice!

I had a good comment in mind when reading the replys, but I forgot it... well, I'm sure it will come around again... eventually...

La Lore · Tue 30/09/2003 19:49:36

This is a new version

Thanks everybody for the crits.

IÂ´m working with her (Lorraine

) now and I will animate her soon.

Great! New version is even better

Farlander- yours is great too (her face kinda reminds me on Trixy (or what was her name) from S&M).

Trixya... yeah, I used that sprite as a model... I am working in it to make that less evident.

Matt Frith · Tue 30/09/2003 23:58:11

Much Better Lorena ^_^

Pet Terry · Wed 01/10/2003 10:14:52

Looks great

Jayel · Thu 02/10/2003 05:38:31

Maybe you could raise the waist line or maybe make the legs longer,
but aside from that, it looks great!

Great work F&L

Make a game allready

La Lore · Sun 05/10/2003 17:52:50

Nacho · Thu 09/10/2003 18:45:30

Nice anim... It needs some retouches in some frames (Head?) BTW... People will critisize it, as this post will bring the thread to the first position of the Forum!

Pessi · Thu 09/10/2003 20:05:51

Your first animation?! :o

I just had to butt in to say that it's amazing - especially for a first try! Did you use any reference? It's something I still would have problems making. I'm no animator, you know.

The simple yet distinct fingers are absolutely fantastic.

Yeah, I agree with Farlander on the fact that the head's motion is perhaps a bit extreme. On the one frame where it kind of nods, perhaps you could move it one pixel on the left making it a bit more subtle. Though I like the effect a lot, so I wouldn't like seeing the nodding go away.

One thing that I'm not sure whether it's just a special feature for this character or the way you would do it for all characters, but her arms' motion looks kind of like she's swimming in the air. Again, I'm not sure what you were going for - it works great on this character - but if it's just your way of doing the arm animation, I would suggest taking a look at it for the other characters.

Again, amazing!!! :o

La Lore · Thu 09/10/2003 21:56:43

Pessi: Yeah, It is heavily inspired in trixia, I heavily recommend to use ripped files if you feel insecure with the animations (Please, sorry me if I had to specificate it before).

I donÂ´t like some of the frames on the head either.

I canÂ´t really understand that of "swimming in the air", well, if you mind that it could be weird if I do it in all the characters, as I said, they are TrixiaÂ´s frames.

PS: Choose one

Here the first attempt of making a cheerleader :

And now (something completely different), the final result (almost) --> The Team

They ares to similar. Can you help me to differenciate them? (sunglasses, ear rings, make up). Well any item posh girls use...
