Title: Secret of Evermore - Welcome to the Jungle
Post by: wzl on April 19, 2015, 05:21:35 am
I am working on some fan art of Secret of Evermore. Specifically portraying the first few minutes of the game.



I have a bit of a struggle with the fuuuuuuuurrr and hair right now though.
At first i thought the dog looks ok, but oh well. in retrospect it doesn't :P
I have no clue how to pixel fur effectively though. I want to have the colors limited to the actual colors used in the sprite, so i only have 3 shades of gray + 2 brown at my disposal.

Another big poop is the haircut of the boy. It's pretty tough to find out what his hair actually does. I like to imagine it as a John Travolta style haircut:

But again, no real idea how to translate it properly.

PS: Yes the canvas is huge, and i'm sort of regretting the decision to work in that resolution, but i'll persevere through it :D
Also it's a refreshing change from working on super tiny sprites




Ok i consider it done :P
