CFP Graphics WIP Topic, All tentavie graphics belong here

Eh.. I dunno. We don't need to be entirely accurate here, accuracy to the character comes second to usability and being able to work with it in the engine, and right now the one we have is fine. To be honest, it's probably one of the sprites I like best here, not necessarily because it's the best looking, but because of how cartoony yet usable it is.

quick attempt at combining the attributes of both of those sprites and making it fit

needs editing but it'd work, I'd say

Oh god...

honestly the Waluigi is just freaky. It's just his face....I don't know why..

blame sgg, not me

though this one looks more like he does than the other

I definitely like how this one is looking. Proportionally, it still looks like Waluigi, but it's more condensed. I'd say work from this one.

I dunno, I'm with Black Boo on this one. This sprite has no... personality, really, and for a game that's fairly story driven, a sprite like this isn't gonna be good for expressing emotion.

still liking the older one :[

then the solution is to work from my edit and change the face up

although Glukom, since you're complaining so much why don't you take a shot at making it how you want? no offense c:

Why not compromise and pull elements from both? Here's what I mean:



I just stuck SGG's edited head from the original on Dex's edited body. After examining them both, I'd say the original's head (or, at least this edited one) fits better with the other characters, but the body of the new one is a better design for Waluigi. Of course, this sprite would need some refining (the arms look kind of weird with the other head), but I think it might work as a starting point...

It's getting there.



I just noticed that the whole lower jaw area looks a bit messed up. If you look at how his teeth are, it sort of looks like he's biting his lower lip.


Edit- K, I edited the first head and mixed it with mine, than edited the various body pieces, and this came out. Is it perfect? No, of course not, but I think it's a little better than my first try.



Only think that bugs me now is the stache. It looks like an L instead of a V. If anyone wants to take a crack at fixing htat, be my guest.

when did i ever complain, i'm just offering my opinion

jeez


Anyway I like this new one a lot more, but I think the legs are too wide, and he's a little tall for the style - but then again, I can't really argue for what works in the engine, since I have no idea

Just a question but if we are going to jump down other folks' throats and challenge them to do a better sprite/code/leveldesign/etc. every time they offer their opinion, how do you expect this project to move forward?

Keep a positive atmosphere or it's not worth trying.

take sgg's newest head and put it on toodles' body, then it will be perfect

also Glukom I was just wondering because you're a competent spriter- sometimes ideas can be expressed better through visuals. An edit would have helped portray your opinion much more, man.

No hard feelings though hopefully. I wasn't trying to be mean, just stating that you had the skill to show us what you mean.

no hard feelings at all dude

I really feel bad for not making anything in a while... What kinds of things should I be working on?

Glukom: Could you possibly do tilesets?

nananana nananana nananana



Danananaaaaaaa


Arms need some work, but that can easily be done while it's being sheeted. So who wants to make a sheet?


(this was based off of Dex's suggestion btw, and I like it)


Edit- Huh... I just noticed that Mario and Luigi seem to stick out now. I think it's the thick AA on the face, mainly with the nose. Oh well, that can wait if we decide to do anything about it. (or is that their staches showing on the sides of their noses?)

That's the staches.

Anyway, now go and make the sheet! :3

That looks great. Waluigi looks perfect next to the other characters. I also like the 'stache-twirling pose you did earlier. Perhaps something like that could be worked in as an idle animation?

Yeah, I'll probably add that.

Glukom: Could you possibly do tilesets?

I could try, but I've never been really good with them, I'm a lot better at character sprites.

How's it with Syrup and Bowser then?
