Requesting 4 Charasets with Battlecharas for 2k3

[Red Giant]

Valiere, you're like the really hot chiselled guy who turns up to the gym and makes everyone else feel fat.

[Valiere]

That's the single greatest compliment I've ever received.

[Valiere]

Vesper's battle charset. Oooh, you're gonna like this one.







That cape actually ended up being rather fun. Also, I changed the color of Vesper's cape in his walking charset...I replaced the link I previously posted. The new color looks more like the reference pic.

Another thing...you accidentally replaced Eilonna's pic with Ariethiel's new one.

[Terradont]

I was thinking that she would hold her lantern in front of her, and shoot a blue bolt at the enemy.

EDIT: Oooh, Vesper looks really awesome

[Valiere]

A blue bolt, like a lightning bolt?

[Terradont]

No, more of an arcane ball, kinda like the one inside the lantern on the picture, but bigger. About the size of their heads.

And for the Battlechara set, i think her personality is important. She is a calm and caring character, who always smile and keep her friends spirits up. The smile should be gentle, not an open mouth.

[Valiere]

I kinda figured she was the "gentle spirit" of the lot. The style I've used so far kind of precludes facial features other than eyes, so a smile may look unnatural, but I can do "gentle."

One more question...As for her "glowing," how do you want that done? An outer glow? A few sparkles? I could probably outline her skin and clothing with a brighter color, but I'll have to play around and see how that looks. Personally, I recommend that as well as some sparkles that appear to be floating down from her lantern. That way there's still that ethereal feel, but you avoid the hokeyness of having the character herself sparkly.

[Terradont]

Yeah, that sounds as a good idea. Play around with it, and see what you come up with.

I really like the idea of sparkles floating down from her lantern

[Valiere]

Here's Ariethiel. I can't tell what the heck that thing on her head is from the picture, (winged earmuffs sounded just too stupid), so I made it a kind of head wrap. Note that the battle stance animation is supposed to cycle (The lantern flashes).

[Terradont]

Yes, that looks really good.

[tmerrill420]

The Vesper you made is Grade A quality keep up the good work

[Valiere]

Hiatus is up. Here's is Ariethiel's battle charset.







This one turned out really good, I think. Notice how her lantern brightens up when she's happy (as in the victory pose), fades when she takes damage, and goes out entirely when she's dead. I thought it would be cool if the lantern was tied to her life force.

Oh, and you may want to toss in an additional bolt animation for the attack pose for good measure. I'm sure there's some viable battle animation sets out there.

Could you upload Eilonna's picture again? You seem to have replaced it with Ariethiel's. Also, what is Eilonna's personality like?

[Terradont]

That's incredible as usual. I love your idea of the lantern being connected to her life-force.

Hee's Eilonna again. As i said before, she is going to have knickers(long shorts)
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Her personality is special. She has been a slave all her life(beastmen enjoy slave-trading) and is therefore scared and wary almost all the time. When she joins the party, she can for the first time in her life feel happiness.

When fighting, she should thus be looking kinda afraid, especially when attacking ordinary.
When she is doing a spell, it would be neat if she sort of started levitating with her arms out and her head leaning back, eyes closed.
When she is hit by an enmy attack, she should express her pain more than the others.
For a victory animation she should have the same pose as in the picture, kinda saying: "What? We won?"

Lastly, but one of her most important aspects, she is only half the length of an ordinary human, and this should be extra visible in the battleset.

[Valiere]

Making her short is easy in the battle charset but kinda tough in the walking charset, but I'll do what I can.

Do knickers look kinda like this?

[Terradont]

Yes, that's right. Make sure that they go slightly past the knees.
