Gaia's Stuff

[Gaia]

Then how can I get X's face to look diffrent? The helmet was pretty difficult to pull off by itself.. But you know Mr. Nakayama, he draws the same eye type (meaning: Circular, undetailed irises) for all characters.. How am I to diffrenate eyes in such a small detail I'll have no clue. Change Zero's stance maybe?

[Gaia]

This is part of a training session with human anatomy (side view) and other things. I still have long ways to go though.

[KoiDrake]

Try to get a reference next time, doesn't look like you searched for one. Posemaniacs is a good site to get some cool poses

[Krystal]

Okay mate, you know how concept art of characters from profile view have the arms cut off and placed to a side to show detail? There's a reason for that. One of them is to avoid the awkward pose you drew your person in.

[Gaia]

Now for anime-based shite..



From the looks of this, you can tell I had Unlimited Practice Works. Basically, the mostly-drawn type I've ever had practice in.. 100% trace-free.  
And yeah, I know the girl's right (our left) seems a bit big, and the boy's hand isn't pointing straight down, but you get the picture. This was done in school too for both, and I had little time for each and I kept adding one bit when I got home. >.>

Something I spent most of my resources on.

[Krystal]

The mountains and rock are cute. Did you know that eyes are halfway down in the head? No? Well, they are.

Also I think your foliage is over-detailed.

[Gaia]

Compared to the tree? Yeah, I had two other people say that too. Then again, it's me finally getting a hang of Background construction. About the eyes, I'll get on it.

SPEKTROX, KHRAXEL'S BOSS CHARACTER!

1.

2.

First, we have the most important part: How he fights the first time you encounter him. He will appear (and dissapear) VIA black flame, but when he summons his sattelite weapons, the fight begins for the first time. The Sattelite weapons make the fight here, so listen up if you want to damage him good.

His sattelite weapon works like in a certain franchise, but more deep. It will work around like usual, but faster for better protection. When they move infront of him near eachother, they will form a light-screen type barrier, which will deflect ranged projectiles back at the player.

They will fade if enough hits each (around 2-5 HP's worth), but you want the big guy himself. The battle may not end, but he will be defenseless for a short period of time, a perfect oppurtunity to strike him with a melee weapon (perferably NOT your fists! he will take 1 1/2 damage, so bare fists are useless in this fight!).

Then they will perform an arrow formation, which will allow Spektrox to shoot one or more fireballs (MAX 3) at the player. Don't try evading if you are close to Spektrox, the orbs will hurt on contact (8 pixels worth of damage here.. ouch).

As for how tall he is, I made his current form the same height as the main protagonist, but he's a shape-shifter, so that may change later on. You can listen to his theme in the origional creator's topic here, on RPM.

[Rin]

Hey, good job man.
He looks cool, very cool. Basically, this is more or less how I imagine he would be on his first encounter... except those satellite things... that is a very good idea btw, I approve.

Also, this a bit offtopic but still related, but thanks to you I decided to pick this character up and put him in my MAIN story/novel project. Why is it related, well... because I came up with some move sets for him and kinda interesting thing.

He can absorb energy from living beings and artificial alike, and... either feed on it or channel it to/through something for something. Also he has a [tornado fang]ing buster, as a homage to you know who... so, if you're planning to make different versions of him for each "boss fight" then you can use one of those in some way or you can come up with something yourself... since you seem to be doing good.

Either way, I like, approve and et cetera.

[spoiler]Oh, and he can steal others powers... as long as they aren't of "magical" origin (meaning stuff like SUPER powers.) But I guess this kind of thing works better in my story than in a game.[/spoiler]

[Gaia]

Basically, lineart done in the middle of art class. I wanted it to resemble the Wind Waker style as close as possible but be unique at the same time, using the Shin Method to draw it's inner details. The only real thing is.. How do I get it to resemble Wind Waker digitally..?

Looks like I'm never gonna finish this damn thing, NEVER! 

[Night]

aw, don't give up! That looks awesome!!! +p+

[Gaia]

And now for something completely diffrent. A Background previously unripped by the other guys, with a re-rip included.

Posted on: April 27, 2011, 07:57:06 PMWith a little confidence boost from ST Jestah, I'm gonna drop this off:

A sprite style based off this art dump: Click Here.

Posted on: April 30, 2011, 02:31:59 AM

For a serious RPG bloke like me, this is my new RPG style. Yeah.

[MrBaryl]

Characters names plz? I can't recognize any of them.

[Gaia]

They are all origionals. From Left to right:

- Kiria
- Malius
- Lettus
- Galhieon

[Rin]

Not bad, mah man. Though I think they're kinda too small, but on the other hand, many RPG sprites are small.
You could at least post a bit enlarged versions of the sprites, so it would be easier for a lazy bastard such as myself to take a good look. : P

[Gaia]

Now with their resized forms for your viewing pleasure. BTW, that goo with armor is a Slime Knight with Kiria and co., heh. But then again, it's next to a generic tank baddie.

[Krystal]

D'awww dem tiny sprites are adorable

They seem to be holding their hands too high though~

[Gaia]

The thing is, I based the stance of the characters to that of my own, as I usually have them pumped back high near my shoulders.  

Then again, I based most of my chracter's idles off my fighting stances.

[MrBaryl]

Well this is a really cool spriting style, the only problem I can think of is that each character have different amounts of colors, one has 11 and other ones have 8.

[Gaia]

Tell me who and I'll fix it. Why oh why do I forget about this [parasitic bomb]?  

Posted on: May 08, 2011, 09:12:45 PM

And now it's a boss-level enemy, whee. And yes, that's a reverse-sided axe. In case you are wondering, it's a blue-colored soldier from the enemy front.

[MrBaryl]

It's not about which one, all of them have different amount of colors, of course it's up to you fix or not. 

[Gaia]

Hmm, from the looks of the amount of colors, it's starting to look like a 16-bit style (16 colors+ Transparency max.).

A Sonic the Game Gear level, go figure. But it's a Work In Progress.

[Krystal]

Pretty cute, I like the machine thingy but the stripy background looks...hm, strange esp compared to the silhouetted buildings =X

[Gaia]

That was supposed to be the fence, but yeah. I guess the fence's coloring kinda kills it. I can get around to it when I can, but in the meantime can I get color suggestions for the fence?

[Krystal]

Well if it's a fence then the perspective is off =w=b

[Gaia]

That's how it looked in Mecha Green Hill Zone in Sonic Chaos, so I followed that example... I guess it doesn't work. I might have to re-think that.. Got any ideas?

Here's a fun fact: Most of the custom levels I have, I have an apparent craving that there needs to be a fence in each level..
