KoF sprite-over/reskin whatever you call it.

so i pretty much reskinned this guy:



to look like shinku, here's the end result so far



8x version here

 Spoiler

65 colors used, looking for any constructive criticism, only things i didn't touch (bar recoloring) were the pants, the top of the overall, the face+chest, and the gloves+staff.

wings, horns, bandages, armguards and shin guards, cape and some other stuff sprited from scratch on top of the original sprite.

really disliking the shading of the bandages on the left wing (from our perspective) looking for any constructive criticism

It looks good but

a;lsdkjf;alsf something about those damn left bandages.

the shading definitively doesn't merge like i did on the right side, i will have to edit that up later, it's just so annoying, ugh.

But think how good it will look!

Maybe add some texture/dither so they don't look like ribbon?

>texture

no can do, this is manually made, no textures or pretty much no photoshop, and the dithering i do manually without tool assistance. (done much better on the right bandages than the left* ones)

Damn man, this is great. Something feels a bit off about the feet though. The two boots look different from each other, though that could just be the angle.

And yes, the shading on the left wing bandages....it looks as though you have lighting from 3 different spots, lmao.

Who said use photoshop or any fancy tool?

Though they are fur you might get the point.

Maybe toning down the highlight and adding a bit of dither might do the work.

Boots need a bit of work, the gold is to bright.

Good job!

you think so? light source is supposedly on the top-right-ish, so it should hit that boot pretty much directly.

the top detail on the boot does seem to have too much white though, i'll fix that.

Forgot about that, didn't want to post the images due to how they are about copyright (people have stolen stuff and posted it elsewhere claiming it as own) and didn't want to post the ones with the watermark because is rather big, but that didn't go as planned.

Here are the ones with the watermark:

If you like the ones without it I'll PM you them.

Pretty one Shinku... Billy Kane transformed into Shinku ... pretty nice image also!

haha, thanks, i need to make a zerk effect for it now, but ugh, i have no internet so getting the colors and such is gonna be a pain.



improved the left bandages and them all in general, fixed the extra shine on the right leg, any new opinions?

Looks much better now, not sure what else could be improved (I guess thats a good thing ).

And how about any other KoF char transformed?

That looks pretty great! I'm loving the spear.

It would be spectacular to see your character in animation form just like how Billy is atm.

Then again, that would take a while.

And how about any other KoF char transformed?

lately, i'm EXTREMELY busy :X and i only did this because i ran out of internet and had nothing else to do, i'd love to do more, but the day doesn't have enough hours.

thanks, it's a polearm though* but i am REALLY happy with how it turned out, mainly because i sprited the whole blade from nothing

i'd love to reskin the spinning that billy does, but it would indeed take inglorious amounts of time, that i simply don't have :X
