Title: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: RenegadeX5 on November 22, 2010, 03:46:17 AM
That's right, I decided to take up Skinning. (Or try to.) My first attempted creation...

LOUIS! FROM LEFT 4 DEAD! (Needs work to be honest.)
Please note: This is my F-I-R-S-T Skin. Go easy on me. [Yes, it's a recolor. Dont like it? GTFO!!]

Yes, I WILL be attempting to work on Zoey, Francis and Bill at a later date.

[Btw if anyone's willing to fix these sprites up, I'd be GRATEFUL!]

Any opinions?

I demand the Bill skin. I shall sacrifice in Roboenza with style.

I would edit the sprites myself but I'm pretty busy with some personal projects. If they're still intact when I'm done, count me in.

*cracks knuckles* Rest assured I will attempt to sprite individual specialties myself. [Like bill's hat, Zoey's hair, etc.] If I'm good, I could probably set Bill up with an M16.
... taht is if i know how to do it.

can't wait for the releases of them.
Just in my opion, do you think that the survivors should not "all" be based around the megaman sprites? it should give the characters a bit of variaty...

-.-

I'm starting small.
This is my first attempt at skinning and I'm taking some friendly advice, starting with recoloring. Yes I know it's shitty but it's a START.

I can't make a skin from SCRATCH. Best I Can do is use a BASE And go on from there.

If you can locate a MM8DM Skin BASE, I'd be happy to use it.

Note: If anyone wants to try their hand at it, feel free to... This is more for practice.

He should be taller and he still has a helmet shaped head, make it more round.

Can you make him use a SMG? It was his preferred weapon in game, it was Zoey with the pistol.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: RenegadeX5 on November 22, 2010, 07:21:19 PM
Gonna be very tricky designing the SMG.

And I'm not THAT skilled yet, Y.D.

But I will try to get assistance. If you have a base for me to use, I'd be grateful.

NOTE: I may not be able to work on em as planned. Family's having a thanksgiving get-together and I gotta clean house. Gonna be busy for a good few weeks.

...What's so hard about an SMG? The AR will be the hardest by far.

Okay. Louis will soon be available for a skin.
Production on Bill has begun... though I ask 1 question...

How's he look so far?
(http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2708/billa1.png)

Yes, that's his M16 on his back.

Okay. Sticking out of the hat at the sides near the ears? [Removed the "Helmet" shape. Hope this appeases some of you.]

And I Attemped to sprite the M16.
Suggestions?

Edit: Whoops! Forgot something. 1 Sec!!

Fixed quickly. (http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/7523/billa5.png)

Yeah around the Ears...When you do francis...make him hold a shotgun

Auto or pump? (And that was planned. Chars with their weapon.)

EDIT: Blahhhh. My paint software just crashed and it wont come up... I'll continue construction tomorrow...

We need them to be Megaman styled, otherwise there's no point of having them!

Can you make Bill have his cigar? And make the beret wider, it should be the same size as his head.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Blueiscooltoo on November 23, 2010, 03:22:55 PM
why do they have to be a edit of mega man?
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Max on November 23, 2010, 03:23:37 PM
Because it's Megaman styled skins for a Megaman game silly
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: RenegadeX5 on November 23, 2010, 04:16:21 PM
I planned for Bill to have his cigarette. Working on the side-sprite.

Blue, I appreciate the idea but Y.D.'s got a point.

['sides, I hate wasted work.]

Okay. Wider beret, got it. Easily modified.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Max on November 23, 2010, 04:23:29 PM
Yo Renegade if you need help in any way just hit me up. I imagine Francis will be quite hard, because of his shotgun (pump, I presume) and his many, many tatooes.

Ahh, not every thing needs to be a mega man edit. A lot of the better skins are not mega man edits... but do as you want.

Blue, take into consideration I have nearly NO Spriting experience. This is a project that will help me get into spriting... consider it a "Beginner's project."

And Y.D. I'm gonna leave you to handle Francis. Thinkin about his tattoos... Yeaaaaah...
Kinda outta my league (for now.)
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Max on November 23, 2010, 05:47:39 PM
Mmm? Cool. I was talking help... but I'll do him I suppose.

Post by: Max on November 23, 2010, 06:33:21 PM
All these diagonal pixels... burning into my mind!!

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MaxPower7137/Francisfront.png)

And I said it would be hard to do the tatooes... they're just a black line on his arm, trying to fit all Francis' model's detail into a tiny sprite is no good!
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: RenegadeX5 on November 23, 2010, 07:27:41 PM
Good job spriting the shotgun. o.o
... now that I think about it I gotta redo Louis.
Gotta stick his SMG on his back.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Korby on November 23, 2010, 08:11:54 PM
Remember guys, you don't need to fit every single detail on it.
Dr. Light doesn't have his tie in game, does he?
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Max on November 23, 2010, 09:30:25 PM
The SMG is just like an Uzi bro. Big, fat full auto pistol if you look at it that way.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: RenegadeX5 on November 24, 2010, 12:31:50 AM
*sigh* Bad news. Due to RL circumstances, the skin-pack is on a HIATUS for now.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Max on November 30, 2010, 08:25:20 PM
How's it going? Some guy did Francis... so I gave up. Hehe. I call Nick and Tank! If you're doing infected, of course.

Post by: RenegadeX5 on November 30, 2010, 08:44:03 PM
Not too good atm. Turns out I owe the bank money, my family's putting the squeeze on me to get a job that doesnt exist and I'm trying to get into college...

but I will continue Bill.
... Really? Someone did francis? Saves me effort. *sighs in relief*

Currently my main problem is Bill's firing animation. Designing the M16 was a hassle in itself.
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)
Post by: Max on November 30, 2010, 08:46:31 PM
YOU effort? I was doing him!

Which is why I'm sad :L

Sorry Yellow...
T_T *Now feels horrible*

...
wait a second how about you handle Bill's firing animation?
Title: Re: Renegade's Projects! (W.I.P.!)

I think not.
