Crunchy's Skin Stuff [10/6 Rock Pack]

[squidgy617]

Funny thing, Megaman isn't actually chubby either. His artwork doesn't depict him that way, its just the Megaman sprite style is sort of chibi. Just saying. That's why I don't really see a problem with the skin.

[Deviddo]

Well then, perhaps I shouldn't change it then.

Eh, I doubt I would've done much good anyway.

[Deviddo]

Alright, so I looked at my old Rock/Mega Skin and it bothered me for a few reasons, like how it no longer fits with the new edits to the Megaman skin, or how his color scheme was too like Megaman's, some other things (I was actually incorrect in how his hair looked, shame on me.)  And maybe this time I'll make him throw his attacks instead of just growing a Mega Buster, despite not being Megaman.

Anyway, before all that, I need to make sure I have the head sprites correct, so any comments/criticisms on these would be great, I want to make this absolutely perfect this time.

EDIT:  The front and back sprites, and the diagonal back sprite actually have ears now.



EDIT2: I just realized this skin breaks the 8-bit color rule.  I can't see ANY way around that without not including all the colors so I'll just have to suck it up I guess.  Now that I think about it, my Volnutt Skin breaks that rule too.  Wow.

EDIT3:



Editing this bit here is killing me, all the other angles would be much easier I'm sure.

[Deviddo]

Alright, finished it up!  Included in the download is a somewhat obligatory bot.  (Hey look, I went through the trouble of 8-bitifying "Mega's" concept art from MMPU for a robot master-esque selection thing, though my shading could use some work, I'm trying to get better at this sort of thing).

Im downloading this awesome skin!

[ZeStopper]

Looks great!
What do you plan on doing next?

[Deviddo]

I'm either going to touch up on the current MegaMan Volnutt skin to make it more proportional to the new sprites and stay within the 8-bit color rule, or make a completely different one.

Honestly, I want to try and make it myself, but at the same time I'm not sure if I could make one as good as the old one.  If it doesn't surpass it, there'd be no point in downloading it.

[ZeStopper]

One thing is sure, Beed would go crazy for the new one.

[Deviddo]

I'll do one of the two, maybe even make mock-ups of both and get opinions on which would be better to continue.

[Deviddo]

Alright, decided I'd shoot for my own custom Volnutt Skin.  Here's a comparison for a basic standing sprite, he's slightly taller than Classic, but shorter than Barrett (via his appearance in DASH3 8-bit Prologue).  What do you guys think?



EDIT: Oh right, here's the references I used.

He could afford to be slightly more taller. Probably two pixels, his legs won't look like he's trying to do splits.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Yeah, I think he could be a bit taller.

[Deviddo]

Tried to add a bit more detail to the armor, specifically where joints connect, made the shoes a bit more Volnutt-esque.  All while following your suggestions of course.  I also made an alternative, not sure which looks better.  Comments?

[Ceridran]

I think #2 is better.

[ZeStopper]

I think the arms look funny, try hanging them by his side.
