[WIP] Modified Character [C+C]

on: September 14, 2011, 06:11:13 am
So I've started work on making a character sprite for a game. By work I obviously mean edit, and by started I mean I'm not an artist and cannot draw very well at all.

Here is what I started working from (linky to source)


Also I was browsing the forums and liked this sword: Sword thread

And here is what I edited into:



I'm not sure if two swords is the way to go. It might definitely need to be longer though. All comments welcome.

For the sake of art I think you should start it from scratch and reference to that one, not just edit on it!

About the swords, I don't think they need to be longer 'cause:

1. they already distract from the character as long as they are now
2. it's gonna be a problem when you've got animation to do, the sprite is gonna be REALLY big!

btw, how are you gonna use a sprite like this in a game? It's viewed from the front!
Bear with my poor english, I'm italian!

My plan was have a perfect base to start from and then get to work on changing to a side view.

You raise good points,

I'm not too worried about the size, its more of a learning exercise.
