More updates/mockups/etc

Water: Attempted to fix.

Character classes so far (From left to right):

Original reference character

Swordsman

Dark Knight

Paladin

Dragoon

Older Stuff

I restarted the concept tileset because I didn't like the way the other one was going.

Also, I did so after playing much LoZ (Link to the past, Link's awakening).

So here:

Pixellated Version

I started working at half-res (12x12) then scaled it up to 24x24 and started doing this:

Higher-res version

And I threw in a sample of my character just to see if it could fit in. First person to try make a Final Fantasy style midget for this gets shot. NO EXCUSES. :D

Other artists

If you're going to be helping at all with this, please say so now and tell me what you're doing so I don't end up doing it for you. =P

But Link is a Final Fantasy style midget. 'Tis stylistically accurate.

Astryl 12 years, 5 months ago

Yes, but Link, along with the entire Legend of Zelda art-style, is stylistically fucked up.

EDIT: Hmm. Got my first warn. Ominous. *Pulls out sniper rifle and camps*.

OPINION

If that warn came from this comment, curse you. That's my opinion. Look at any screenshot of the 2D Zelda games. Why the hell can you see all four walls in perspective, yet see the front of Link/Front of chests/ etc, while the pushable blocks are in the correct perspective? Rant rant rant [/okI'mDone]

I guess everybody can be a stylistic midget if they want to. That's 24x24 pixels to work with, so not too bad.

Thanks Cyrus.

Anyway, I'm going to go work some more on those tiles.

I like the tiles, I DO NOT like the character.

Higher-res version of the door and skull tile is way better looking - you're going to redo the walls too, right?

EDIT: Also, I would like the midgets better, but that's not why I don't like this character. It's not very original and I don't really like the shading. There's no real lightsource/feels pillowy.

Minish cap style characters ftw

This is awesome :D

firestormx 12 years, 5 months ago

That is SO much better, and is really SO good. =D

I don't know who warned you either. =/

I vote for Minish Cap characters, too.

character doesnt fit right. i like the pixelated version more =3

poultry 12 years, 5 months ago

I think I like the pixelated version better, because it would be more consistent when other people chip in
