Frankening ´n portraying

Post by SexyPringles »

Hello there, I have been playing BfW for a long time now and i wanted to try making my own sprites from scratch. Well that didn't go so well and after trying some several times I decided that i should first try frankensteining to attain some kind of understanding of how sprites work. So here is my first frankenstein sprite with a little description about him.

The king of gods Zeus is known for his powerfull lightnings and unparalleled strenght and speed. Many ask why the father of gods doesn't use a weapon, some say that it would be too easy for Zeus to destroy his opponent. Others say that Zeus has a sadistic nature and he enjoys hearing his enemies bones turn to dust in his hands. Whichever the case, this is a god you don't want to challenge.

This fellow knows his manners and customs. I used master at arms units body and added for him a head of necromancer to make him look unique. The staff and his monocle are made by me and i added those to make him look more like a gentleman.

Gentlemans are polite, calm and considerate they also have a great rank and influence in the society. They may seem harmless in combat but beware since a gentleman always accepts a duel...

Spartans are cast of fierce warriors that don't know the meaning of retreat or surrendering. The leader of spartans, king Leonidas stands at the top of his fellow warriors his skills with spear and sword are unparalled among spartans. His charisma and leadership makes him greatly respected by his soldiers and greatly feared by his enemies.

I think this is my first unit which is mostly done from scratch. Well, almost. The bald one is fully from scratch and other one uses the head of thief.

You have lost the proportions a bit, and the figure is therefore indistinct. Although, as for a drawing from scratch, it is not bad. I recommend putting something existing on a transparent background so that you can see the proportions all the time

Thanks for the tip maksiu I tried "cleaning" the unit and making it not so indistinct. Also when you say that proportions are bit off do you mean that the head is too big for the body?

I'm not sure what's wrong, I made a comparison and I think the waistband is a bit too low, which makes the size of the legs to the torso disproportionate, take a look at the comparison yourself.

Yeah, now I see where the problem is. I tried to fix it by raising the waist little bit and made the legs slightly longer so now it shouldn't be so disproportionate, but if it still somehow seems weird proportions wise please do tell.
