The Epitome of Anima

[Muraiko]

I just recently uploaded a NEW DEMO again! I changed all the download links in this thread to the right one. This will probably be the last update. It's not that big a deal though. There's no major changes, so if you've already downloaded my game, then you don't have to burden yourself by re-downloading it again. As I said before, the only difference is basically some of the graphics, and maps and stuff, and some of the foes are weaker too (still kinda difficult I guess, but more less intense).

I also decided not to use Mega upload anymore. I've used Rapid Share this time, so I hope it'll work better now!

i plan on getting it!
im still loving the battle system...

[Flamehawk27]

Lol! I wouldn't say I'm the best. The only reason I tinkered around so much with scripting is because I'm so horrible with graphics and maps... and to be the best, you gotta excell in both worlds, which I'm trying desperatly to do...

By the way, speaking of graphics, I don't really like my face sets. I guess cartoony, anime is cool, but now I felt a sudden urge to have realistic faces. I just drew them out now, and I think they look good, except for one problem, I CAN'T COLOR THEM! I've tried countless times, but I've failed miserably, over and over! (Just like in real life, I'm good at drawing and illistrating, but when it comes to painting what i made, I just can't do it.)

If you'll post the faceset I'll see if I can color it for you.

[Muraiko]

Really? Thanks! That'll be great! Here's what they look like:



They're kinda big to be used as face sets. They're actually pictures, but it'll still work none the less. I've measured it, and it's about a half times more bigger than regular face set size. I don't know if it's too big or not, where it'll just cover up too much of the screen. Here's what it looks like during game play:



Maybe you could just color one of the characters first (It doesn't matter who) and then post'em up and let me see if I like it or not. I'm sure you could figure out who' who, they're in the same order my older faceset's in. And also, since I'm aiming for realism here, it would be great if you could reference to shading, color blending, and all that good stuff. Thanks again!

Just tell me what the skin tones and hair colors are for each.

[Muraiko]

From left to right:
Manako: Black hair, green bandana, brown eyes (if you want to color that) and his skin should be a bit more yellowish, because of his... race...

Chakira: Pretty Blonde hair, blue eyes, I don't know for skin tone. Normal, if that makes anysense.

Davin: Brown hair, Blue eyes. Nothing different about his skin.

Sophie: Pink hair, Green eyes, the band thing holding her pigtails should be blue, and her skin is lighter than everyone else's.

Rellius: Red hair, Green eyes, I don't know about his skin. The average color or something.

Phaeth: White hair (Try to avoiding making it gray) Brown eyes, and her skin is darker. Like, milk chocolate skin... trying not to sound like a pervert or anything...

Yeah, so that's about it. If the space for their eye color is too small, then maybe it's best if the eyes aren't colored at all. Anyway, thanks for helping me out here!

[Muraiko]

Hmmm... maybe a bit more shading. More than just two tones of red and the skin color. And his eye brows is supposed to be black. Also, that small section behind his strand of hair (the one going down) is supposed to be skin. And his skin is a bit too grayish, greenish, or something.

Other than that, it looks like you have the shading in all the right places.

[Muraiko]

Actually, nevermind. I probably shouldn't even burden you anymore. I think this would be a good thing to post in the requests section.

[Muraiko]

Actually... I think I can probably do it myself. No offense, Your isn't bad or anything, rahl, but I'm just starting to get the hand of this coloring and shading thing. I guess I was just doubting myself. I'm gonna go and try to delete my topic in the requests thing... even though it won't let me for some reason...

[Muraiko]

Alright. Just got done with the new faces! Yay!

[Felix-0]

I kinda like your old ones way better 

[Muraiko]

Never! Realism triumphs over anime!

Or, maybe I just need to redo some people's faces. Like Davin's look weird, so does Phaeth... *sigh*

[Felix-0]

I just don't like the side view
