TailsSena Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Believe me, I know male anatomy, I am one after all. (A sketch I did.) When I "left the boobs in" I was trying to make them look like pecs, and I failed really hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Guess that means you dont know male anatomy. Your edit was an almost unmistakable female, tits or no tits. Nothing to get in a rut over, though. I personally find males much harder to draw because there is more to draw. Alot more shapes and bulges to keep track of. But I digress. For her future edits, make sure you dont chicken out when it comes to actually erasing and redrawing things. Her original sprite looks pretty exaggerated to bring out the "female" in her -- her waist is super skinny, her hips are exaggerated and her legs are quite far apart and tiny. In most of her poses shes almost always pidgin toed. I dont think many males (if any) are shown doing this. Unless their balls are in jeopardy/taking damage. Honestly, i'd personally find an actual male from this game and edit him to look like her instead. By the time you finish altering her body you've damn near made a new sprite. Looking at her Portrait sheet, everything about her sprites scream "Japanese" and "Girl". Which is pretty distinctive. IMO you're making this hard for yourself. Or, you could just alter her top half to fit the bottom half of a male sprite, which i think would probably be much easier. (They dont seem to draw more on these poses than they need to. The bottom half is reused alot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem... No other character acts quite like her, and it's her personality I want to visually express... I could edit Joshua, but it wouldn't be the same. At all.

Yes, I'm actually trying to make an effeminate male with pink hair out of a Shiki sprite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3DR0 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ness still looks like a lady but it's still way better than previously was. Artix looks absolutelly the same as the character which he was edited from, just with a pallete switch. Except now the sprite version (small one) looks tottally like a woman with that pink hair. Oh well... Let's see what Sonic Advance: Tranny has to offer at SAGE. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid35 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 ...Why are you taking non sonic characters, recolor them, and putting them in your game. Why not just custom sprite it. It might be shit but at least it's not a recolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falk Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 People take non-sonic music and plug it in fangames all the time. Why the discrimination? If it's entertaining, it's entertaining; Different people just have different skillsets. It's not like this stuff is being capitalized on for profit.

TailsSena Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah, I just had an idea. I can just model, animate, then batch render my own animations, I have Blender, and experience with Maya. (Different programs, but how different can they be?) This would also solve the problem with the regular Sonic crew not having any good dialogue sprites at the size I need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid35 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Sonic Adv....Rivals, Battle. I mean then don't have to be huge. That was kind of the point. I mean it's not like your game is going to be a fullscreen mmorpg....right o-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Rivals is the right size, but doesn't include Cream, and its the wrong style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailsSena Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 1) Those sprites are tiny, and don't include the characters' body. 2) Shadow's not in this game. At least not if I can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Alright, I've got a pesky question... Is there a way to make the moving platforms move a bit slower? They're going really fast, and it's breaking collision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be shit but at least it's not a recolor. uh...because he can? Ness's sprite still looks female, but i assume thats what you're going for so whatever. And thanks for not pulling the trial by fire tactic... I think I'm about at the point where I just start saying "Haters gonna' hate", and keep going. "Trial by Fire" is just a terrible excuse used by douchebags. IMO the only way "Trial by Fire" is legit is when it happens unintentionally. Like, when some guy thinks hes awesome, shows it to more experienced peers and gets his shit wrecked. Kind of like that one thread here... fuck where is it oh god, here we go. ok I seriously just went on like a 6 minute laughing tangent. It's like, one of the best threads in SFGHQ. Point is its only really helpful when the person isnt competent enough to understand that they need help, otherwise you can teach without being a penis wrinkle. (Searches for my own blowup thread) okay so anyway, is obvious connection between your ness and Mother ness supposed to be obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, I've decided to just go and model Ness, Artix, and Blaze to generate spritesheets for them. That way they won't be lame edits anymore. I didn't make it very far down that thread... tl:dr Uhh... Connection to Mother 2's Ness? Nahh... It may be interpreted, but I won't be trying to make it look that way. He's actually based on another Ness I know of. Well... Not exactly based, more just named after... /shot Yeeeah, I'll reveal more about them later when I have sprites. And really, how do I slow these moving platforms down?!

Serephim Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well i only know of one character ever named Ness, and he just so happens to very specifically use Psychokinesis techniques. In fact, i can't really recall any other japanese character that specifically uses Psychokinesis. Its always some form of "ki" or "chi" or "mana" or "chakra" or spiritual pressure, or just plain "magic". Thats why I always liked Ness i guess.

TailsSena Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Neku and Shiki used "Psychs," which are technically Psychokenesis, or PSI... Anyway, if we're comparing to Mother characters, then Ness is best compared to Lucas or Ionia, and Artix to... Flint... Yeah, intentionally polar opposites.

TailsSena Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Oh, right. I forgot this thread needs to be renamed to "Sonic Skywind: Episode II." Anyway, yeah, this no longer has anything to do with Sonic Advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Actually, I'm thinking about renaming Ness and Artix... Ness because of the implied reference to Mother 2 Ness, and Artix because it doesn't really feel like a name, I dunno. So, I'm thinking Kazuki and Lunick, but who should be which? EDIT: I'm asking your opinion, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the photoshopped baby sonic picture I made that one time in my photobucket and drag it out every so often. That thread is some good memories for sure. Just had to state this.
