Title: [Visual] Feedback on my character?
Post by: Abigaila on June 02, 2014, 03:20:44 PM

The face itself is from a template. My work is the uniform and helmet. Any tips or feedback?

Much better than what I could come up with.

Looks like a great start!

I would say maybe work on the shading and details. Usually a sprite should have more light areas than dark.

I did some quick edits as an example:

Now, don't take this as the end-all-be-all "this is what you should do". This is just my interpretation to give you some ideas.

Also, remember to zoom out every once in a while if you're not working with two windows. Something that looks good zoomed in may not look that great zoomed out.

Thanks :D That makes sense about the lighting.

How do I work with two windows of the same image in photoshop?

Just messin; not bad at all, really. Good job. I personally agree with what Aco said, make sure the shading and whatnot is balanced.

Boots should be semi shiny black.  A touch more tech is needed to make it futuristic.  Antennas coming off their helmets, left / right eye augmentation, etc.  As a base, it works fine with that touch of shadowing, and adding extra stuff like guns and weapons can create several characters out of one base character.  Comm tech to heavy armor to commanders, lots of possibilities there.

Thanks, yea I agree :) I'm planning for something like an action battle system in the future, but I'll probably never get around to it haha

I almost spat milk out on my keyboard! XD
THAT made me laugh. ^^

Anyway...  :V
Definitely the shading makes it look not only better but more distinctive.
And... And it doesn't look like a frog.

But it does now in my imagination because it's funny. XD

I have done renderings for a while but this is my first character rendering. Any input is welcome.

Thanks

Is it invisible? If it's invisible 10/10 best invisible character render I've ever seen.

Double post by an admin. :P That's how you be an idol. :D
But I really wish that she comes back. In an other post she writen something like:
"I feel allways followed, can't sleep anymore, even I know there is no one around, I still can't."

I remember reading something like that in a different topic of her...
That's what makes think, she might will never come back... :'( (\s/)

Well, hey...works for Sophist ;o important people double-post on rmrk. everyone double-posts on rmrk

I remember reading something like that in a different topic of her...

There was a lot of drama with people thinking she was a dupe or troll at first, but things calmed down and she just sort of dropped off the forums. So...not really much that had to do with her last posts, but I think she just sort of left. I don't remember exactly, since I was away from the forums for a little while and then came back and she was

I hope she is okay at least. (\s/)
Sorry for going off topic. :( /)

No prob, it happens B)

But I must ask...what does "(\s/)" mean? We've been trying to figure it out for awhile now. ;[
Title: Re: Feedback on my character?
Post by: Gaming Princess Luna on December 24, 2014, 01:15:27 PM
It's a simple sign for Pegasister, so kinda a MLP / EG thing again. :D (\s/)
Title: Re: Feedback on my character?
Post by: strike on December 24, 2014, 02:21:31 PM
nope that doesn't mean anything to me, what the hell is a pegasister and before you answer that, do I even want to know what a pegasister is?
Title: Re: Feedback on my character?
Post by: Sophist on December 24, 2014, 06:40:05 PM
it is a portmanteau of the words pegasis and sister

Female oriented equivalent of 'Brony'.

Bronies and Pegasisters are how the fanbase of My Little Pony and Equestria Girls call themself. ;)
I sorta needed to do it, because acceptance is important in any place, where many different people come together. :)
I must admit, it's sometimes hard, when I often get these anti MLP / EG posts. Because there is no need of hating.
Some will think I hate these people, but I don't. Actually it's for me even hard for me to hate my haters...
Sounds may weird to some, but I even try to be kind to them. :) (\s/)

Post by: Acolyte on December 25, 2014, 05:07:45 AM
I don't think people would really care about you liking MLP if you just toned it down a bit. It just comes off as creepy when you inject it into everything.

No drama intended but I don't go around calling every person by honorifics or japanese words. Nor explain to them the meaning when, they really don't want to know about it and expect to be accepted for that, I'd end up been disliked & avoided, as I come off as 'strange' to them.

boe wins best intentional irony 2014

It was cool when you posted some different music you were into in the music thread because it wasn't just the standard one dimension of your self. We want to get to know you better but when you only show us one dimension and that one dimension is ponies, it's very hard to do so. 

So please, show us more about yourself than just the fact that you're a ponyfan. That's all well and good I guess but that's kinda all we know about you.

If I were asked to describe you in one sentence I'd say "She's a Brony from Germany who makes rpgmaker games" which I'm sure is not the extent of your personality but it's really all we have to go on and that's sorta a huge hurdle for getting to know you better.

I know, but sometimes I think, who would understand, if I post a german video for example.
Sure you can enjoy the melody, but don't understand a word.
I want others to understand what I want to share. Sometimes my caring about others hinders me to open up myself...
I guess like in that case...

I could describe myself a bit, if anyone want to know...
And that (\s/) is kinda my signature, that I posted it...
I use it everywhere, none bothered much so far, sorry if that's a bit too much... :'(

While I will admit it sometimes takes a little work to figure out what you mean, It's a second language, it's not like we're gonna hold that against you.

It's not like you can't enjoy a song if you don't know the lyrics. Look at Gangnam Style. That became a freaking worldwide phenomenon.
