WONDERPUP'S PROFILE

Created another ogre. Changed his appearance up a bit at the behest of a friend. He is now wearing a leather cap, and his shoulders have been broadened. Tried using a palette that is more contrasting for the skin. I feel that the sprite looks better, but it's still "off". Also gave him a gaping mouth (just experimenting).


It still feels like there are expanses of space (namely around his torso) that are not done correctly. The highlighting on the muscles also give him the appearance of having fish scales.

I also think he just lost some of his comic appeal.

EDIT: His comic appeal might be back with this:

The saturation is too high on these last two ogres, though. I'll adjust that at some point.

New ahriman and new slime:


Should I revert the slime back to something more similar to how it was, or should I pursue this path?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I brought this up, because in the game that I'm trying to work on, there are two languages. The majority of your party speaks one language. Another party member that joins speaks the "enemy" language, and yet another party member speaks both fluently.

Once you have all members, your "translator" character that speaks both languages begins teaching all the other party members how to speak both languages. I'm not really doing a system where the player gets to learn the other language (by experience, mini-games, or otherwise); the entire thing will probably just be re-writing dialogue.

If your party initially speaks English, then I'll write all of their stuff in English (obviously). But if the enemy were to speak something like Italian (purely for this example), rather than write in Italian, I was thinking of representing it like, "RAAAWR RAAAAAAWR UGH GRUUUUUF RAWR!"

But in doing so, I can't really give any insight as to what the other side is actually ever thinking, and it makes the female party member that joins and speaks "Italian" very unappealing and guttural-sounding.

Okay. I've added a fifth ogre sprite with the lengthened legs. Was this drastic enough? Or is it too little?


I also adjusted his chest to make it appear more flat. The black line that made the crease/fold at his waist was softened, too.

Does anyone else have any feedback? I'd like to make these look good, but more importantly, I'd like to get better at spriting. Thanks!

The original post has been updated to reflect these changes.

They are monster sprites, but they'll have to walk around on tiles. I was just wondering if it would look odd or not.

Double post.
