Geno Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story (Battle)

[Ninspriterx]

My two cents about how the colors are working together is that he kind looks too shiny and round.. like a plastic toy.
When he should have more of a dull or flatter wood feel.

I know it's odd for me to say this kind of thing but I believe it would overall make it fit in style more.

So that would mean I have to change my wood pallet a little bit more?

[Garamonde]

It'd be helpful if we had a M&L3 palette like our M&L:SS tutorial on the site...

Unlike the GBA, DS games aren't really bound by color limits - so BIS really doesn't have a viable palette. You have to either get creative or combine colors from existing sprites/backgrounds.

[megamario1234]

Which wood pallet you think is good for Geno? Pallet number 1 or 2?

[Ton]

I like 2.

[Garamonde]

yea 2 has a more woodsy feel in the darker brown.

Here is what I came up with the new idle. For this idle, should I stretch the legs and the feet a little bit or just leave the animation as the way it is?

[recme]

"OH YEAH, TIME TO BOOGY!!"

The idle looks to energized for someone like Geno. He should have somewhat of a serious idle. I made an edit to illustrate my point.



Maybe if you don't want to hide the hands, make him cross his hands.

[Ton]

That is a much better idle. Not perfect, but on the way.The cape flow still needs some direction as well.

[megamario1234]

I just changed the idle starting pose for Geno.


Instead of making Geno move his fists in a circle, would it be better if I make Geno move his fists up and down very slowly? While Geno move his fists up and down slowly, this would show his slow breathing animation.

[Ton]

I think Geno is calmer than that, honestly.

[Shade]

Yeah, I'd imagine a "I'm too chill to guard, because I don't care." kinda' pose.

[Ton]

Think Clint Eastwood. Keeps himself covered up until it's time to shoot something in the face.

[megamario1234]

Hmm.. does this idle look serious on Geno?
