El Mantador (PLAYER)

[Lexou Duck]

lemme just copypaste the other post i did

i did the idle


and i did the walk forward
believe me it looks fine if the character is actually moving
(he's scratching the ground to build up electric friction get it)

edit: also did the walk backwards


here's the sheet


there we go
so i have to baccalaureat coming up in 3 weeks so im focusing on that since its a very important exam
but after that ill update this somewhat regularly

edit i thought of a new character name tell me what you think

[Garamonde]

Oh I didn't think we'd be making individual threads for the characters and etc.

that's a really good idea

[Gors]

El mantador is so good

I declare this name cannon

[Lexou Duck]

thanks, i knew you'd like it

i can see quite a few people are browsing my thread so here's something to keep you guys on the edge of your seats

[Gors]

Not jojo-like though, it looks plain creepy

[NICKtendo DS]

May I suggest using a Stand as reference? I'm getting ghostly ripple vibes for some reason.

[TomGuycott]

Ugly jojo faces I can remember are the Hanged Man (or rather his user with the two left or right hands or whatever), and the orangutan whose stand was Strength.

[Lexou Duck]

so i tried to jojo-ify it more, before i got all your lovely comments

[recme]

i dunno lex, if i was standing to fight someone, i wouldnt lean forward that much. make him stand a little upright

[Baegal]

Much better, but I think your character should have that grin you had originally. Your call though

[Lexou Duck]

am i going overboard on the dithering or is this good

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

I'd say there's a bit too much but it's looking good

[Paladin]

Yeah, it looks good, but it makes the shading much smoother than on the other portraits.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

I can only talk for my own portrait, but I used the dithering to convey cross-hatching: if the cross-hatching is very fine, but light, then it wouldn't be black, but a lighter colour that would blend slightly - consider it sub-pixel cross-hatching. The size the dither patterns is an equivalent to the length and the interval of the cross-hatching.
I'd say the dithering in that case is more of an "inking" technique rather than a "colouring in" technique.
