By the way ... what did you use for designing the male tachie?
I recognize it as the one mentioned in the tech thread.

--> Kudos to SparkleFox for finding us a male tachie generator, authored by "彩 雅介" (Aya Mayabaikai?)! This one is put together as a program, but has PSD files with layer-names in Japanese. No "fan-translation" available at this time.

Now, to be fair, I clicked on that link, and used Google translate to help figure out what all I needed to do to get the file in question. However, it kinda looks like this is the place the pixiv post/page redirects for a download?
Last time I tried the original link plus google translate I wasn't really getting anywhere ... maybe I'll have better luck this time.

EDIT: your second link worked for me (after I found the smallish download button). Thank you very much.

This is simply my suggestion, but I'd advise a different male tachie generator or something, since the difference in art style makes the male characters look a bit out of place.

Well the best I was able to find was so far was a PSD file which I used to design him:


One problem with this PSD is that there's exactly one pose to choose from ... and not too much in the way of other choices anyway. Like some two or three different outfits. About six different hair styles ...

Do you have something better you'd suggest using?
Nobody expects the surprise Santa!

Bringing some haircuts for your festive needs:
- "Celes" front bangs;
- "UMP" front bangs (with separate hairpin)
- "Eliza" front bangs;
- Long twintails, with 3 ribbon options.

Happy holidays ^^

That looks incredibly good.

@Garage

Can't think of much atm, but I'd bet a bit of digging will result in something turning up somewhat soon.

You can blame fatigue from an intense college semester for me not being as useful this time around.

What a nice present ;)

Do you mind if I integrated them into my tachie generator thingy? And may I remove those yellow edge stuff for that purpose?

EDIT: Have you tried combining the pin and those ribbons with the other hairstyles? Would they work?

Sure ^^
Oh yup, the yellow edge it's just to keep them in place while adding to an existing .PSD or such.

The hairpin... most likely not, it was created with to work along with the UMP hair so the size would be off for anything else, the ribbons however, could be used as an acessory alone or moved to work along with existing addons, like the ponytail.

Is that girl another version of Karen's daughter, Garage?

It's a new version of Karen's daughter. That's why she's calling me "gramps" ;)

Finally got around to piecing together my fourth character's design... decided to put some of those tachie parts packs of Kevin's to use.



It's a bit of a struggle to do them eye colors for the female characters... it was way easier with the male tachie generator, where the iris and the edge of the eye were different layers in GIMP - so I could just use the color balance tool on the iris layer. Here I can still make some decent eye color changes, but sometimes the eye color leaks onto the eye edge...

Did you try using the free select tool?

An updated design for a character originally meant for my initial HTC content.
