MP6's Thread

This is my sprite thread.

My first sprite is already finished (or not):

and I accept requests!

Right now, the helmet (orange) lacks depth and appears flat. You're going to have to add shades and highlights to give it the appearance that it's a spherical object.

Also, some of the blue from Model X's mugshot, can be seen in your mugshot. You have to either remove or replace those colors.

Also, What does Model Kicker do; do you intend to expand on this character? Unless you include something unique to Model K, it will just look like a slightly modified Model F.

He does attack like a something from Mega Man series.

Good, now you need to add shading and more highlights to the orange part of the helmet to make it look like it's a round 3-dimensional object.

Try looking at the default mugshots to get a feel for how the shading should look. Also, the colors used for the character sprites is not enough for the mugshot. Unlike in the Megaman Zero series, mugshots in the ZX and ZXA series are closer to those found in official art, meaning they use more colors and hues.

If you want I can post an example of what I mean.

Okay...

What I meant was something like this:

17205

The left is your original mug, I modified the original into middle and right ones.

Notice how the helmet now looks round for the middle one and angular for the right-most one.

Depending on how you apply the shading you can project different shapes onto a flat surface.

I didn't change the gem or the crest of the helmet, because I was merely proving a point. The shading techniques can be applied to those parts of the helmet.

what is it supposed to do? you can add things to the character depending on what its supposed to do to make it look different. im guessing since you called it kicker(i know it isnt to sound cool) its meant to do something with its feet, so maybe you can add spikes to the shoes and make it look bigger and steel toed. you should also probably do something to the helmet so it doesnt look so much like model FX. maybe if it wasnt orange it would look less like FX.

As for you two,

here's the result:

For the mugshot,
I picked the 2nd mugshot made by S.C.

maybe you should change the spikes alittle more so that they are straight up. i could be wrong, but it looks like all you did was copy them off the head, that wont work. though, you are off to a good start.

... Model X? What did you change, exactly?

... Model X? What did you change, exactly?

It's Vent (ZXA) in Model X Form. Model X's color was Vent's shirt palette. Also, contains Vent's ZXA hair. The jacket was opened and shoes are different.
