JOSEPHSERAPH'S PROFILE

Thanks!
i love hugs so *hugsback* <3

actually she finds plenty of friends soon so no need to hunt that much! The premise is a bit different.
She'll have plenty of people to help, though! I suppose some island survival could be dashed in there though, could make for an interesting sense of limitedness.

She washes ashore on this island and as she waits for the ship that comes only once a year, she makes friends, helps people and uncovers the island's secrets!
I'm still sorting things out but amongst the villagers she may find: an elder witch who likes to pick a fight, a mysterious mermaid that only appears at midnight if some specifics are set, a magical fairy-cat, lingering spirits, frozen priestesses, gamblers and some more :^D

just gotta make sure to keep it doable ^^' hah

Oh, I forgot about those ones. They are noticeably whiter, definitely. Out of this lot, though, you can't tell any difference in races.

Actually, they might've got the same skintone but i've envisioned Dais as having japanese traits, metis as middle eastern, amelia as british and dahaka as a brazilian.
i didn't really make an effort to make it evident but i think if you look its not hard to see their different features! : P

By the way as people know akihiko yoshida has been the biggest influecne in my works through the last 2 or so years! ´v`)/

anyhow, all the input has been really helpful, thanks!

Thanks for all the feedback guys! As you can see, the second batch is quite different from the first one. I'm experimenting still, and later I'll come back to the portraits and rendering them with the style that Felds will prefer, and that I feel are also better technically. With that in mind, all the feedback is incredibly helpful!

I haven't done pixel art portraits in a while, but I"ve done lots and lots of tiles -- so I'm bringing the limited palette mentality far too intensely into the faces I feel. While with some of them I feel pretty happy (Metis' headgear texture is by far what I'm the happiest about) overall I'm far from happy with the palette, Dais in particular might be a bit too colorful.

Next batch of portraits I'll try to come with a more complex palette and see if it works! This way I can work on smoother shading on the skin without relying on whites (which are actually grays) for instance.

I'm also considering doing drawn portraits and rendering them colour-limited through irfanview to give them a PS1 rendered look, but that'd require approval (it would look fitting though, since I touch it up at hand it'd have a distinct pixel art look while having the palette control of a regular painting of mine)

Anyway all that detailed feedback is extremely precious!
And as @Craze mentioned by citing 2 marvelous examples i'm not going to do that by dulling colours out, but instead by working on a more solid palette : )

Thank you very much! <3
Definitely the roofs are something I'm looking forward to tile-replacing when doing the second pass after finishing all tiles! Hopefully you guys will like the new roofs when the time comes -- it'll still take a big while though, hah

Thanks for the compliments and feedback!
Indeed I myself am not very happy with the palette for now, I used to be a lot better with it haha
But I a keeping this in mind -- the tendency i have to use overly gray, dull skintones, for instance -- for the next portraits to try and develop a coloring style that will work for the game. As the style slowly shifts and gets better while I progress through the game, I"ll reach a point where i'm comfortable going back and retouching the old stuff so it all has the same palette / shading style : D
(this is something we've already talked, so it'll be fun to see the style progressing : ) )
