Title: SkinsPlusB - ICE-AH STORM
Post by: Hallan Parva on August 06, 2012, 12:48:48 AM
Hey kids, did you enjoy that Ronald skin? No? Never? Not if it was the only skin to exist? Well, I'm here to cure your SmashBro Skin Deficiency! It's a good thing, because the condition can worsen as it develops. No, seriously, call a doctor or something. You might end up getting this nasty rash on your back, eeeeugh I'd rather not bring it up but it gets to be pretty unsightly.

Anyway, to avoid breaking out into a hideous itching fit, I am providing the masses with the biggest dick move ever.

Bandwagons aren't necessarily a bad thing. I mean really, it could be much, much worse than Puyo.
after you see this, I highly doubt it could ever get worse :ugeek:

Ronald skin.

FUCK.

He's not smiling like he should be- he's got that smug smile and stuff.

Bahahaha! I was waiting for that response!

Yeah, originally I had Ronald with a little grin, since he's such a smug little bastard and all, but I didn't think it looked good once I put the rotations in. I still have the frames though, dare to compare.

I am maining this so hard once I finish it. :ugeek:

OK, problems and stuff.

His neck appears out of nowhere on the back sprite, then magically disappears when rotating.
His eyes from the side looks all weird.
On the back right, the little spike of hair that is visible on the side is gone.
His arms on the side are a bit too short. Furthermore, the side arms are not in the same position as the front-right.
His head on the side is about one pixel shorter than the other rotations, for some reason...

And keep the grin.

Huh... how did I fail to notice that? Fixed... by removing the neck. I'll add it back later.

The back-r / back-l does look strange, so I removed it... unless you mean something else?
On the back right, the little spike of hair that is visible on the side is gone.
... I don't know what you're talking about. Help. :I

The arms are the same length in every frame! The side arms do look off, though. Noted.
His head on the side is about one pixel shorter than the other rotations, for some reason...
Impossible. I made the side head first, and made all the other heads the same size by measuring against the side frame. If it "looks" shorter, it's probably because that was the only sprite I bothered to not make from scratch; the head shape and the hair are both references to Ronald's original (midget-sized) sprite.

And keep the grin.
Thanks for the feedback!

You know the little curl that's on the top of the bigass spike in his hair? It disappears from both the front-right and back-right.

Also it's easier to talk on Skype about this but you're never fucking on
Title: Re: SmashBro's topic that isn't about blueprints or AwNet
Post by: Hallan Parva on August 06, 2012, 03:13:46 AM
Oh, that. Yeah, that was intentional. The "curl" was in his GB sprite, so I carried it over.

The other frames (and the bottom half of the side frame too) are based on Ronald's official artwork.

Of course, if it looks bad, I can always change it / take it out.

also real life go away

You really need to work on your color choice.
Why is his hair outlined a different color?
Title: Re: SmashBro's topic that isn't about blueprints or AwNet
Post by: Hallan Parva on August 06, 2012, 03:37:42 AM
The colours that I'm using:
- black
- white
- skin
- blue and cyan, obviously
- sky blue
- light green
- dark green
- light brown
- dark brown
- turquoise
- slightly darker turquoise

... That's a lot of colours, now that I list them all. Yeah, I should work on that.

Because Ronald. (http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/d/d8/Ronald.png/200px-Ronald.png) This could probably be changed too, though.

I seem to have misinterpreted myself on a few gripes. Firstly, the side arms aren't too short, rather, they're too skinny. Being only one pixel thick is argh.

And the eyes from the side pose look too small.

I didn't think the curl was a problem, I just thought it disappearing from both the back-right and front-right sprite was odd.
Title: Re: SmashBro's topic that isn't about blueprints or AwNet
Post by: Hallan Parva on August 06, 2012, 07:24:43 PM
I just realized that I may have a small problem.

FIRING FRAMES. :|

I don't want to be another lazy "buster arm" guy, so any ideas?

I was thinking of a side-throw (like, for cards) or a forward point, but anything's fine.

Well then, give me suggestions! I need them!

Throwing cards would work quite nicely. One frame with his hand across his body, the next with it pointed out?

The first one is the sprite Korby oh so generously made JUST FOR ME. Oh, well I made the feet, but the rest was done completely by Korby. I can't thank you enough for the base, man.

The second one started off as just "me being silly with Nido's face" but eventually evolved into a few minor changes like adjusting the shoulders and making her overalls more... erm, form-fitting. The third one's basically my attempt at a front frame, using the second one as a base.

The fourth and fifth ones were taken from the second and third ones, but I didn't like how Nido had "Roll arms" so I changed her stance a bit. I also changed up her shirt, making the sleeves shorter and changing the area above the overalls to reveal her skin.

the thought process of a Curly Brace
a head - a body - change arms to Mega Man style - LEGSSSSSS - changing up the midriff area

this was made from the original Cave Story sprites and the Cave Story+ sprites sort of "combined" together


COMBINED WITH MY FISTS
















POW
HA HA

Using a new base for Curly. The old one was GARGANTUAN.
This new base is also what I used to make Kritzmas Curly (http://imageshack.us/a/img843/6103/holidaycurly.png) over there in my avatar.

He did, but it's got an inaccurate hair color and apparently, it really bugged Smash.
On the flipside, though, I do like the Mega Man-styled skin better.  Normally it wouldn't be so big a deal, but there's something about the Cave Story sprites that make them look really out-of-place.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Blaze made Mega Man-styled Quote and Curly Brace first. BTW, Curly will look terrible with that vacant grin on at all times.

I knew of the Curly skin's existence, but I never knew that Megaman (of all people) was the one to have made it. Huh. He never mentioned it in his topic either; I even flipped through all 20 pages of it just to double-check, but nope. Not a single mention! I guess it sort of slid on the front page without me noticing?

Actually, I could care less about the hair colour flipping around. What bothered me were a few things that were changed in the conversion to "Mega Man style". While I think the sprites are rather nice, I don't think that sprite style is the best fit for Curly. Besides the eyes and the hands, it's also an edit of Roll. Not to devalue Megaman's version or anything, but I think this Curly skin would look a tad bit nicer. I'm pretty sure there are worse tragedies on the forums (like those four Mario skins... so pro, am I right) and players can simply use the Curly they like better. Or use them both. Or use NOTHIN' AT ALL!

Anyway, here's some more progress on Curly. She has a front pose and walking frames!

It's probably because the Cave Story sprites lack any black on them whatsoever, unless it's a character colour like black hair. I added some outlining so the contrast wouldn't be nearly as sharp. Normally more outlining is a terrible idea, but with the interest of fitting into 8BDM I think it actually looks a bit better this way.

I didn't know that either... and I can't even find Blaze's versions. As for the smile, that sort of makes Curly Brace... well, Curly Brace! Even in her own game she always ran around with that big smile, whether shooting your legs off with her Machine Gun or being surrounded by angel robots in the Blood-Stained Sanctuary. The only time she doesn't grin like that is when she's knocked out.

That being said, if you have any suggestions I will be happy to take them.



EDIT: Added a poll! What is Curly holding in her firing frames?

Huh. Never noticed that before. Suddenly all those "Curly is broken/malfunctioning/insane/etc." theories make sense.
