Mother Brain - Captain N style - Ton - 11-09-2009

What I've been doing all day.

The plan; make the vat and the brain detailed, like a PA. It never moves, so it can be. The pink part with the face will have extra eyes and mouths for expressions. I also plan to do tentacles. If anyone wants to help me shade the brain, that'd be awesome.

Haha, creepy yet awesome!

Her face is so accruate to her cartoon representation Heart :] On top fo that, there is some quite detailed lineart going on in the brain! it's hard to give any feedback!

Are the wires going to be added later, Ton?

i have nothing to add except to be sure to catch the cartony and exagerated expresions, remember she moved her face around to make herself look more expresive

Yeah, it's far from complete. The shading is next and I'm dreading it. I wish I could be as good as BAB when shading a pixel-art. Tongue

I wouldn't mind helping a bit; I'm not awesome, but I think I'm pretty good. Just direct me where to go and the rules of the style.

If you don't really want the help shading, I can always just cheer you on/crit you.
It really does look awesome, good luck.

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Ton - 11-09-2009

Thanks man, sure, you can give it a go. The one that needs intensive shading is the one to the left of the "final" one. The style can be something like King Hippoe way over on the right. Don't be afraid to mess with the palette. I'll work on one too. Tongue

Well, I'm stopping for now, homework to do, but I got through my spine.

As is probably pretty evident, I kind of gave up on the style early on. I REALLY worked on getting some sort of illusion of depth though, and I'm actually pretty proud of it.
The second vertebrae down is a real bitch to get right, and it's the one piece I'm still not sure I like.

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Ton - 11-10-2009

It's loads better than I could have done. And it looks like you got the shape of the "spine" right before I could even tell you. That's awesome, man! And I'm not too worried about the "style." It was just a suggestion.

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Ton - 11-10-2009

Oh, and feel free to edit the lineart if you think the perspective needs work.

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Solink - 11-10-2009

Awesome!
I like creepy sprites
The bottom should be rounder however

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Frario - 11-10-2009

Mh, i'd try to show the 2 middle draining buttons (or whatever it's called) in a different angle, since they face more forward than the side wirebuttons.

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Ton - 11-10-2009

Hmm, I'll work on both of those.

I think I may have gone a bit too "Krang" with the colors.

EDIT: [Image: mbface.png]
Which one looks the best?

RE: Mother Brain - Captain N style - Baegal - 11-10-2009
