While I have less time than when I first started this journey, I have considerably more money. My art skills, on the other hand, may have somehow gotten worse.

Thankfully, I've met a few folks who are willing to produce good art for money. One of them is in the process of creating some new NPC faces.

Paige is getting the first make-over. Somehow, when I scoured the net some years ago, I couldn't find any RPG Maker facesets that weren't white. Since I wanted to use a variety of skin tones and facial structure to create a village populated from all over the world, this was problematic. The best solution I found was to use generated faces...but they're rather hit or miss. In Paige's case, I actually liked how the generator turned out, but then I asked this guy to take a crack at it and that turned out very well too.

Here's her current face:


And her WIP new face:


Next up, I asked him to remake Francis. She doesn't have as many speaking lines as Paige, but she was another generator face that didn't really live up to what I was hoping for. Yet again, this guy managed to translate a few sentences into an actual character.

Here's her current face:


And her new face:


There's more to come! These will be placed into the Chapter 2 Polish Patch, whenever that comes out. If there are any faces that you find particularly cringeworthy, let me know and I'll put them on the list. Also, if anyone is into drawing stuff and likes to get paid, hit me up! Or if you have zoids models/custom zoids or can draw chibi zoids, I'm looking for that too~
