SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
Alright everybody. So I made the Story of the Slimes campaign with some unique sprites. Yet now, I need to improve upon them even further. I wanted to create this thread to separate the discussion of the sprites themselves from the actual campaign thread. I wanted to hear from you, the users, as you are the ones who play it the most.
My first issue with my creations is this:
I like my original sprite that is being used currently, as shown here: Yet, it seems too... happy. Creepy, even. So, my epic dilemma is, do I swap out the whole face with something more serious, or something still happy in a way, but less creepy?

Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
Is that supposed to be radioactive slime?
You probably know it yourself, but could you do it with less bright colors?
If you are intending to reinvent mudcrawlers, please do not only look at the latest sprites but also the old ones, because the update somehow lost the mudcrawlers closing their eyes.

Accidentally added in the green one here. Did you even bother to read the title of the picture? Guess not.homunculus wrote:Is that supposed to be radioactive slime?
This is why it's the art workshop. The colors are that bright because under 70% transparency, the colors are toned down a bit. Under any other colors they would fade even more.homunculus wrote:You probably know it yourself, but could you do it with less bright colors?
No. These are slimes. Mudcrawlers don't look like slime. They look like, and I'm gonna hate myself for even saying this, mud. They look like mud.homunculus wrote:If you are intending to reinvent mudcrawlers, please do not only look at the latest sprites but also the old ones, because the update somehow lost the mudcrawlers closing their eyes.

Finally! Something that actually looks like slime! I have to say, the old stuff looked like fancy Jell-O. These are much better.

Do you mean the first or second slime?

Their faces should be in same perspective as the bodies.

Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
Wait, what? I thought that first joke of the campaign is the fact that DragonQuest/genericRPGenemy style slime are faction of protagonists.
Now, they are... some oozes?
Adding :3 catsmile instead of what was there is surely an improvement.

Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
I apologize once again for adding the green ooze. It ws a mistake on my part
Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
the question would be what kind of slime he is. if he's a poison slime, than I guess it's okay to look kinda messy, I mean his job is to poison people, and if that means oozing all over people, that's fine. the pic: hmm, with the grumpy slime face and the fact he looks like melting icecream, I would suggest turning this into a death animation.
edit: to answer your question, yeah, he looks grumpy, and sorta weird. I like that fact that the slimes look kinda strange with the happy faces.

Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
Well Im keeping the first deaign. I may make the slime :3, like so (thanks to Shinobody), or give him a cool stache. The 2nd one is an Ooze Slime, though it will probably be either a death animation now or a sub for the Poison Slime, as Boldek noted.
Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
I really like your green slime, he looks very expressive. :3Great_Mage_Atari wrote:Alright everybody. So I made the Story of the Slimes campaign with some unique sprites.

Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
I would prefer the general form of the second slime, it looks more like what could be called a slime.
However, I think I prefer the "happy" face.

After far too long an absence, I have returned.
According to the quiz 100% Silver Mage (85% Archmage, 75% Shyde, 67% Flameheart and Ancient Wose,58% Assassin, Troll Warrior and Berserker). And my top score is exactly how I see myself.

Re: SotS Campaign Artwork Thread
I didn't edit it because the next few replies wouldn't make any sense. I previewed it without the knowledge that I did not remove the second file, making it appear in the last line. Got it?

As Shinobody said, I did kind of go for the pseudo-Dragon Quest Slime look. The green one is a variation. Now, I decided that I will be incorporating the same kind of mouth and eyes to the rest of the Slimes. Ya gotta admit, they are kinda cute.Trubbol wrote:The second one looks better.
Well, the happy face is a little creepy... but since some people like it, it will be kept in some Slimes. The second Slime is called an Ooze Slime (for various reasons). So that one will stay nearly as-is.Drakefriend wrote:I would prefer the general form of the second slime, it looks more like what could be called a slime.However, I think I prefer the "happy" face.
