Holders' Happyland, A collection of work Options

[Holder]

Been really ill recently so this has been mostly tweaks and small things since I first started on it a week ago. Creeps is there for size reference.

[bacon]

The legs may be too lanky and out of perspective and proportion. I would try to tweak them a little more because they look kind of awkward. They bend maybe a little too high up as well. I definitely see what you are trying to do but her pose looks more like an awkward squat.

I know you are comparing the two sprites and stuff like that but i dont think the style of those two really match eachother very well. You might want to add some more detailing to the black ghost because when compared to the person, it just doesn't really go well together but this is just my opinion.

The hat may be a little poofy too it almost looks like its floating a little bit.

Definitely work on your poses and stuff more i know this maybe be silly but what i do is i actually draw pizel sized people and do crazy poses and stuff like that so i would try that out at least. You are getting better with color maybe just a little more contrast in the clothing but you have improved very nicely with color for sure.

Other than that keep working on your stuff you are always improving~

[Holder]

Thanks for the informative reply once again bacon

I guess I started with Creeps because it was a basic creature to do and all I had to focus on was animation, the base does go into a transparent shadow in the actual battler sheet.

Practice on my poses is really needed I can't agree with you more, I've tried sketching stick or non detailed limbs but I just end up not being able to define angles enough (depth rather than angles really).

This is the character reference I'm using:


Going to see if I can work on the legs and that hat.
Cheers

That's what I think anyway

[Holder]

One frame, one tile, could this be for something?

[Daven]

INcredible work! I really like your hybrid designs and your jester is awesome. Its good to see you're still spriting too I'm glad you didnt give that up, in fact it makes me wanna start back up myself. I'd love to see more of your spritework

[Holder]

Thank you very much Daven, always nice to hear and especially if it makes others want to get (back) into doing it. I'll get more WIP images done soon but I'll be releasing the complete ones as part of our Resource City collection.

Attack pose, Idle Pose

Ignore the yellow dots, just some things that help me animate.

[Daven]

hey it looks simply fantastic Holder, the gun is very cool as well. It holds a futuristic yet classic feel about it at the same time. the character design is sweet too but the ear did look a bit odd because it lookd somewhat like a lump lol or perhaps thats an alien feature.

Also about the attack pose... her arms seem sorta relaxed. although that depends on if the gun has a anti-recoil feature

good spriting as always

Love the outfit she is wearing - where on earth did you get that concept from.

Good to see her coming to life. especially the side pose.

[Holder]

Working with some low poly models for some reason...

almost done with one half and still yet to duplicate over.

Oh cool, Holder enters the world of 3D! D=

[Holder]

XD Cheers, yeah I've done some work with 3D before but I'm really rusty and using a new program. Ember's been helping me a load with the config and problems.

Here's my mesh almost finished:

The foot was a pain in the arse to get done, I don't think it's brilliant but at least it's there. Also I'm actually happy I've only used one triangle so far, and that's for the knee.

I hope to be able to get a nice pixel texture onto it aswel, but I'm not sure how that's going to turn out.

[Holder]

Testing out a technique here, basically you should be able to notice what pose the character is in and who it is (if already know previously) when the drawing is done in a silhouette:

I'll finish this up someday aswel because this will be one of the profile images for the topic and what not.

[Nanashi]

You really can make out the image, only thing missing is the actual detail. I can't wait to see what she looks like actually~

[Holder]

Cheers Nanashi

I've started on the faint details, focused a bit too much on the face I think.

I'm almost ready to get started on the final parts now.

[X-M-O]

Wow, it's really coming along nicely. =D
It's truly brilliant. ^^

(The current colour scheme almost makes it look like those old green chalkboards, lol.)

[Holder]

Cheers I've been tweaking some parts here and there.
I don't like working with Black, White and Greys when it comes to sketching, after a while it really nacks my eyes I do normally show without the coloured background but since it was there for the silhouette...

Gonna get the lineart finished up and get to bed, will update when this is finished.

[X-M-O]

I think it looks cool with the chalkboard appearance actually, lol.

Woo! Sleep well, and get this finished soon! =D

[Nanashi]

She's coming along nicely, that she is~
