Darkfox's Various Art/Sprite Stuffs

[Archem]

No, Lucas. Darker, deeper colors. Not bright, shallow colors.

Although that version is a bit easier on the eyes.

[Darkfox]

I'll work on color settling but I'll do it the way that works for me. That just doesn't work for me, you young people take a lot of things for granted. It's hard for us who still use the old method. It may seem impossible for you, but yeah, this is how us old timers did it. Archaic as it may be. Maybe someday I'll pick up on this newer approach, but that isn't going to be right this instant. Don't think I'm going to take to it like a fish to water, it doesn't work that way because I've ALWAYS used MSPaint for everything I do, even animation.

I was bugged into coloring my sketches, I started to even if I didn't want to.

[Archem]

I'm not that concerned with your methodology. I'm concerned with your choice of color balance. That's about it. Bad color balance detracts a lot from an image.

[Darkfox]

Where in the WORLD did I state it was final? O_o You argue like it is a final and not a WIP. O_o I'm working on it still, I'm laying out the brights then darkening it all around.

Archem loves complaining

[Archem]

I'm not arguing, Darkfox. Not at all. And Deathreaper, STFU. It's not complaining, it's criticism. I'm waiting for him to fully understand what I'm trying to say. He's not making any worthwhile improvements to the colors, so I feel obligated to repeat that the colors are just not working.

Ok, if my opinion isn't respected here, say so and I'll stop wasting both of our time. Otherwise, let me know what you're going to do to make things better.

She's not going to be anything other than an orange or orange variant color. And her hair remains purple. But I may change the hat color to deter some of the purple.

But I will shade her. I see no real problem with purple on orange, just for now it's kinda dark on bright. This will be fixed over time.



Edit: As I see it, the main problem is that the orange is too bright. This could be fixed by laying in a darker orange and using the current orange as the brightest color. But the hair is not going to be anything other than purple. It has to do with character. And coloring her completely purple makes her seem too much like another character of mine that is purple. Now I can only offer that, I'm trying to go for an orange for the fur, and have the hair a purple.

Lawl. I though you just got a DS emulator. I have to say, FF Revenant Wings was alot better on a CPU

On a Central Processing Unit? Wat.

[Darkfox]

On a Central Processing Unit? Wat.

I think he meant to say "on PC".

[HobomasterXXX]

I think he meant to say "on PC".

And I think I meant to "poke fun at him for calling a Personal Computer a Central Processing Unit".

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Recently I've seen PC and CPU being used interchangeably. It's rather strange.

[Darkfox]

And I think I meant to "poke fun at him for calling a Personal Computer a Central Processing Unit".

And I think I meant to "regain dominance in my own topic." :\




Yeah...

Until I read your edit, I was about to just explode, but you seem to be slowly getting what I'm trying to say. You're not fully understanding me, but you're figuring it out on your own a bit, so I'll leave it at that.

[Darkfox]

Just know that I'm not leaving the violet hair and orange fur. I may tweak the orange fur tint until I'm happy but the purple is on purpose because it is the character's favorite color, an affinity really, just she doesn't color her body purple, trying to keep that as foxlike as possible which I've never done... EVER. Weird as it may be, this is me first time just getting down and trying to make a fairly normal fox design as opposed to strange colors like purple and blue (Darkfox turns a blue tint in some stages).

...and I have no idea why I said orange for her hair instead of purple. O_o WTF?

But I'm not going through the development stages on the character again... I've already made the color purple part of her character...

[Darkfox]

Update:



So far this will be called the Magideath: Darkmatter Wisp. A magic-born creature who's power was so great that it's body could not handle it and thus collapsed in upon itself.



And Manna, a traveling doctor. She's a mutant, in that she was born with a strange genome that caused her to change during the development period. She's technically human, in that both her parents were human thus is not a form of hybrid. More details when I get together the character bios. Personality-wise, she's antisocial and has a fear of being around a large group of people, she also is rather blunt, rough, and so on. Basically she's like a bit of a female Hellboy, Bones, and a tomboy of sorts. Rather informal. Also, she arm wrestles, and spars with guys, as a way to show that she's tough and able to handle herself. She feels awkward about people worrying about her, so she tends to always act tough.

Oh, and she wears a trench coat too, but I had a hard time drawing it and this is my first sketch of her, so I'll do it in my next. This is an experimental sketch. Lets see... oh and she's of German descent.

She's the type that tries to scare everybody away. XD
