The VG Resource

Lineart could use some improvement. Colors are too unsaturated. And it's pillow shaded in some areas, particularly the hair and bodies.

Well, since i haven't seen any form of Jill ever, and due to the recent change of the style of the sprites, I made one of Jill. I used the Brawl size reference for her size.



Let's see, I used Mario's red and jeans, Kirby's pink, Mewtwo's skin, Ice Climber's skin, and Wario's yellow. The warm gray is from the original Drill Dozer sprite and the dark blue I had to make myself. Perhaps I used too many colours?

Sprited the Drill Dozer into pieces for easier everything. Her face was hard to put in there considering how small her head has to be to fit the proper size compared to Kirby.

I dunno if I'm going to continue doing Jill as I procrastinate, but I thought I'd get Jill started if only for one sprite for the heck of it. I guess I'll do whatever fix ups people suggest :V

Looks good to me so far. The only thing I can think of changing is maybe adding an extra shade to the drill? Everything else on it looks great though. If you want to continue and all of her sprites that would be great, but you've already provided a great base as it is.

An additional shade? I thought that there was a rule that each colour could only have 3-4 colours; main colour and then 2-3 shades? Or was that dumped? And I may have misinterpreted on what I should have done. I screwed around the the shading of the drill's swirl, like so:



After, I figured that you probably meant the drill as a whole. Still, it's there if you want.

I thought she was a little bigger than Kirby. Oh well if not I'd like her to be. She'd be a more effective AT that way.

In the Brawl ref sheet, she's actually only a little bit bigger than Kirby. I figure she's roughly around the same height as Olimar while in the position I sprited her in. I do agree she would be more effective but then again, she's pretty good once you get caught by the Drill Dozer. Maybe I could make the drill a little bigger?

jill herself looks really off

Yeah, I figured as much.



One last edit before I sleep, this time to the head. It was a real pain to try and work with that size of a head, so I upped it a few pixels and made her profile mouth more similar to that of super smash bros and her own game. Also, less eyebrow, but I'm kinda leaning towards having more eyebrow showing. By all means, if it's still not good enough peoples can go ahead and screw around with it.

@Koopaul- For the Moltres one, do you mean like it backs up into the background then flies towards the foreground and at an opponent? Or do you mean just on the stage itself? Either which way, I like it.

Take your pick I just wanted it to give a warning first.

What in the world is a "Chronicle Page"?

Well I want to get rid of stickers but keep the Chronicles section which was simply a list of Nintendo games.

I've tried it again with the pallete. I would like to be better in this, but I don't understand what do you say with some words and I can't use your advices well . I think that maybe I need some help ^^'.

Well, better? worse? more toonish?

its not really the pallette, its the way you shaded them. The hair looks very pillowy

I don't know what do you mean with pillowy... Can you explain me with other words? Sorry >_<

Edit: Pillowy can be like 'play dough'?
