Of portraits and ATSs.

So, I've been working on the portraits for Enelysion so far, and let me tell you, it's a right pain in the butt to get right. I have no idea how long I've spent on just one portrait. But I've done a test run so far, and it looks rather nice so far. :)


Test run of Laine's new portrait. Cleaning up this was a real chore. But the lineart looked good enough to colour, so I got this...



I'm working on her emoticon set now.

Emmych said she would volunteer to do the inking ( not colouring ) for me, so as soon as I'm done with a couple of portraits, I'll just have to send the originals to her. :)

And I've finally implemented the ATS ( Advanced Text Sysyem ) into the game. Makes the messages look a little prettier, methinks. ^^



This is an example of what a cutscene would look like. Ignore the sprite. Still have to do that. ><

- Currently busy with: Apart from Laine's portraits:

- Overworld mapping.
- Patrick and Cillian's portraits. Their OA ( Official Art ) is already done. I'll get that up at another date.

Here's a close-up of the overworld map.


Damnit, I wanna get to that boat! Sorry, Laine. Not for a while, I'm afraid. ^^

So that's it for now. Stay tuned for more updates! :D

World map! Looking lovely, Luchino~ :D Loving the new portraits. I would make some comments about beware the white around the outline, but if Emmych's going to redo the lineart for you, that should be resolved when that happens. Everything looking great though! :D
This is nice! I like Layne's new costume design... Though, I was going to say the lineart was too rough and thick to match those crispy VX graphics. But if Emmych is going to do that for you she'll probably take care of it. =P ...So keep up the good job, both of you!

Edit: Gah! Ronove essentially stole my post. D:
Edit: Or I stole his? Mmhhh...

I like your portraits, there's something undefined about them that makes them lively.

The ATS helps a lot, but you really need to work on the text formatting. It looks strange the way the first line cuts off after "Supposedly it" and you aren't making full use of the dialogue window space :3
@Versalia: Yep, I know about that. It's the first time I'm using an ATS, so I still have to do a bit of tweaking to get the messages just right.

Regarding the portraits, I've sent the first one to Emmy for inking, and she's over the moon, as usual, to do the inking. ^^ It may take a while to get all the art done, but I'm sure it's going to be worth it. :)
