Lightdasher's Touhou skins + Requests UPDATE I'm back baby

[Mr. X]

I don't know what your picture is or what you have in mind, but you can make bridges like in Mr. X's Fortress and Stone Man's stage if you want a floor on top of a floor.  However, you'd be able to see through the floor.

[Ivory]

That it cannot. Multiplayer gamemodes other then Cooperative and Survival  does not allow 3D Floors for the sake of software users.

Also Mr. X. for future references, those are called K2 Bridges.

[Mr. X]

Out of curiosity, why K2?  Why not just bridges?

[Ivory]

It's named after the original creator of the method, Kurt Kesler. or K2. But saying K2 Bridges is the same thing as a midtex bridge or a thing bridge, etc. Since Bridges on it's own could mean a whole whack of other things.

I tend to call it a K2 Bridge so differentiate between other possible Bridges, such as a proper 3D Bridge.

Letty Whiterock Released! Grab her on the front page


UPDATE: There is now a pack with the current (9) skins for those who haven't downloaded them all, or any.

[Accel]

I might do Meiling/China later just to have the whole scarlet girls :3

BAH! You're supposed to know this! You're missing one of them still! Koakuma~ Well. In a way, you're not, but she's usually included with the Scarlet Cast.

[lightdasher]

Shall I put every individual fairy in as well then? =/

[Ivory]

Yep. Lets have 100+ Generic Fairy Maids!... Okay maybe not. or perhaps a fairy maid if you have freetime

[lightdasher]

Well there's always Lilly....

[Lio]

Ffffffffffffff- Coolio~ I thought it was going to take longer, thanks once again. :3 Too bad I can't download it, the page just refreshes when I click on the link. Maybe it's a problem with mediafire right now, it's the first time it happens to me. I'll try later. Also, I'll PM you the skin I'm working on tomorrow probably, I didn't have time to work on it today. Do you want to see the sheet or the .pk3 file?

Hey, I like literally just made an account here because I've been lurking around grabbing skins but I've never had much to say. But now I do, so here we are.

I think it's really cool that we got some Touhou skins going on. Funtimes. But something about them strikes me as off. Reimu's walk animation made me laugh because it looked silly, but in a good way. The others seem kind of...awkward more than amusing. In particular, Marisa's side walking animation (like, the diagonal ones that are based on Mega Man's actual walk animation from the games, I'm not good with technical terms) and Letty's animations in general seem kind of awkward and misshapen. I'm no spriter or artist, so I imagine making a sprite that looks nice when animated, especially with such little to work with, must be challenging, but man these look more than a little awkward, and it kind of bothers me.

It also kind of bothers me that everyone seems to randomly gain a buster when attacking. Plenty of Robot Masters throw weapons or do some kind of pose for shooting rather than using a buster/gun, why can't some of these characters have the same? Some sort of spellcard pose. They could be based on the poses they use in the fighting games, or just be a general "arm out" pose that at least makes it look like they're throwing/spawning the weapons rather than ham-handedly shoving a buster on them.

And I think out of all of the "shooting" sprites, Utsuho's is the one that made me stare at my screen and wonder, "Really?" The one Touhou character that actually HAS a buster-like weapon, and you give HER a pose rather than a "shooting" sprite?! And on top of that, it looks so awkward! Her finger is way longer than it should be, and I cannot unsee it as her flipping everyone off. It's funny, sure, but it's not really fitting.

I'm really sorry if this comes off as really naggy and whiny. I really like Touhou myself, so I'd like to make sure that these skins are the best they can be rather than just...well, "passable".

Yeesh, my first post and already I can tell I'm gonna piss people off...

[Lio]

As a matter of fact, personally I agree with some things you said. I do think diagonal animations look a bit fuzzy (some seem to grow bigger arms when being looked in a 45 degree angle), but it is in fact kind of hard to work on something in 8 bit (maybe this is just me, but as a spriter myself I have more trouble on 8 bit than on 16 bit graphics) given you can't detail much, color choices (doesn't apply here since it's meant to be Cyan/Black/Blue) and such.

The buster thing, yeah. That depends more on what the user likes and dislikes. I think people here, as Megaman fans, don't want to jeopardize the game even more with skins like these so using busters is a good idea for them, for Touhou fans it may be inacceptable since we get a lot to work with. I personally think they're fine, but I admit I don't use the buster on my personal skins. I think Utsuho's animation was requested to be like that, so yeah.

Of course, no offense meant to lightdasher, as I personally love someone is working on something like this and I won't stop using the skins, as I like them the way they are now.

[lightdasher]

I go by what's requested sir, the person who requested Okuu wanted to have her hand pointing =/

And the buster thing, go play megamari. Anyway, it's megaman, why would you care about the buster?

Oh, whoever requested Youmu, did they want Myon behind her or not?

[lightdasher]

(Sorry the Three Mischievous Fairies aren't there, and sorry, they may be the last to do, as it's three)
Out of these, Chen, Youmu and Reisen will walk, Tewi and Suwako will hop, and Yuyuko will float
