I also updated Akuma's download link.

I don't really like the coloring on this, as much as I want a Lemming skin. You left plenty of shading on the skin and hair and just put blue/cyan/black over the rest. Looks kinda weird. Also, while having the weapon colors on the shirt/dress may look okay with the default blue and cyan, I think it'd probably look ugly with other colors.

I'd probably put blue and cyan on the shirt and hair respectively? Or just omit one of the colors entirely (it's not THAT big of a sin unless you choose to omit blue) and just have the shirt colored while the hair stays green.

EDIT: The custom sound effects are super adorable though <3
I'd go the extra mile and include taunt sounds from Lemmings 3D, though. Lots of funny potential there.

If this skin gets touched up a bit it's gonna be my new favorite!

To be honest, if this wasn't going to be a surprise skin I would have asked you about the color scheme. Deciding on a color was actually the hardest part about making this skin. I did try coloring his hair and his face, but that didn't look right either.
I'm totally not against going back and updating though; I already know the skin isn't perfect and could proobably use some other touch-ups, but I felt it was good enough to release.

When you've got the time, I wanna see your take on coloring him.

Oh trust me, I would have if I could find sounds from that game! I'd also have ripped them myself if the game could run on our computer.
I added a few bonus sounds though. Try falling off a cliff or dying from fall damage to see what I mean. =P

[SmashTheEchidna]

So yeah, I wanna get back into this eventually. I wanna fix up the lemming's sprites. I've gone over a bunch of different color schemes for em, but I dunno what looks best.



The current one's on the left. Any suggestions?

[Kapus]

Make the gun cyan and the dress/shirt blue. The hair can stay green, although you might want to touch it up a bit manually so it doesn't look like a flat mushroom cap or something.

[SmashTheEchidna]

So then, this one?

[Kapus]

Yes, but

[SmashTheEchidna]

Do you think you can be a little more specific on that? Are you talking about the shape or the shading? Because I honestly don't see anything wrong with the shape.

[Kapus]

Well, I was referring to the shape, because I expected you to fully remove the shading in the first place (the top middle lemming being an example.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Well, unless you want me to give him spikier hair, I honestly don't really see the problem with the shape; Afro lemmings aren't uncommon, after all. I already made it rounder anyway, so it's not as flat as a square anymore.

[Kapus]

I tend to envision lemmings with spikier hair generally, but that doesn't look too bad either.

[SmashTheEchidna]

And then the thought hit me: "Why not just do both?"

[Hallan Parva]

that face sure has a lot of colors on it

[SmashTheEchidna]

Could probably remove the shine but without the darker shading it just looked wrong.

[Hallan Parva]

probably because nobody except SmashBro believes in 2-pixel-tall Mario eyes

you have the shine on literally one pixel
I think you can stand to remove it
if only so the dang thing can be readable from a distance
