Title: character base (wip)
Post by: Joseph on August 16, 2006, 11:34:20 pm
Hi, im pretty new to pixelolpolis so im not completely sure if this is allowed here...but i'll ask and you can correct me if it isn't allowed.

I started a classic style rpg a bit ago (I noticed people discourage rpgs quite a bit...mainly because yes, it is a lot to draw and yes, it does take programming skills)
Anyway, I started this with some ugly ass characters, so I decided to start from scratch again, and heres what I came up with:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/joseph_ch/pixel/CHARAC1.gif)[from top-back/front/left/right]

I tried coloring it and adding some hair, and it looked a lot like it belonged in a pokemon game.  Sure, pokemon graphics arent bad or anything, but i'd rather not let people think im trying to remake it.
(now I need to know if this part is allowed)
Possible anyone could try and color it for me?  Maybe give me some pointers?  I've colored before and (not bragging) but I don't think im half bad at it.  This just really bothered me.
Thanks for any help at all.

 Great work. Keep the skin tones slightly far apart. It's  too close together.

looking good, tho theres's not much difference between the lightest skin tone and the middle.. lightening the lightest slightly may help it.. Im sure it'll look great animated.

With the colouring im sure someone could help ya, sorry im no use but I just wanted to post to say they looked good  :P..

Lighten the lightest color and they're great.

Try researching Earthbound for SNES, it's got a similar style of those, yet away from pokémon. Try working with that style...
