Title: Character Set
Post by: Creed Malay on Sun 28/01/2007 16:47:20
 Heya.

Group of sprites from the same game, trying to have them all with an individual look of their own, while all kind of looking okay together. Do they look like a "set"?
There's things niggling me about most all of them, but can't put my finger on exactly what. All crit/help apprechiated, and cheers in advance.

They all look really good, but the black outline kinda ruins it. Also, the girl on the left doesn't look like she's reaching into her pocket. Put some wrinkles on the clothing where the hand is supposed to be. The butcher/mad scientist guy looks good, except his legs don't looks like they're part of his body.

As I said over IM, I think they're great!  Very stylistic.

I'm not a huge fan of black outlines ... but I don't mind when others do it.  However, as just an idea I did a paint-over of one of them:

- altered the outline colors
- added 1 level of shading

Just a suggestion ... I rather like them the way they are as well!
