now i gotta some helpfull feedback.
it's about your midnight moe.
your character should not be fully transformed in it.
just dressed and with the same hair.
look at these for references:

I like that you used mine as a reference despite my character turning from robot to human.

[Yangfly Master]

but it still has that ear like thing

[Virt]

Uhhhhhhhh........... here's..... this.....? Not sure how much more I'll be able to do, but... I'm interested again. Stuff feels mushy and the movement seems kind of weird in this one though.
Might make it more bouncy like my old one:


EDIT:

Bouncier

EDIT2:

Catch all the references and win a prize

EDIT3:
Midnight Moe

...It counts :I

EDIT4:
Large Portrait

If I could get some pointers from someone more familiar with Jojo style I'd appreciate it

EDIT5:
Small Portrait

[Virt]

Double posts with content are allowed, right

Updated the portrait to be more Jojo styled and to... actually fit the boundaries.....

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Great work so far!

Pointers for the portrait:
Looks like you're going for a Jojolion/Steel Ball Run style.
The smile isn't typical of the style - think more of a fashion model pout or of a neutral expression. I'd separate the eyes a tiny bit more, too.
Don't bother with secondary lighting, or any strong highlights.
Vary your cross-hatching patterns, and don't be afraid to use longer and flatter lines. The sprite will need areas of flat colour to rest the eyes.
Rely on the graphical boldness of the black and white manga as a base, the rest will follow.

Keep it up

I started this but I still have no idea what I'm doing so I don't really like how the chestplate and stuff turned out... I like how the face turned out though

[Virt]

Basic movement stuff:

I also did a new animation for my Midnight Moe, idk if I'm gonna keep with the throwing up Everything Nice but my other ideas feel kinda overkill
Sorry for triplepost

[NICKtendo DS]

Overkill? Sure, but I think it's too good to leave out.

And no need to apologize about multiposting. I do that too if I made enough progress and after some time has passed. If a post had zero visible attention (thanks, replies, all that jazz), I'll just update that post. After half a day or so, I'll just make a new post if I have new content, regardless of visible attention. It's to make sure people know I've made progress.

[Virt]

Right now [the large mugshots] do change color. ...it is a way to show what color you selected.

Well in that case, here's these


Also to clarify, I didn't consider barfing overkill, that was in reference to other ideas I had for a midnight moe animation.


Also trying to decide with frozen sprite to go with.

[NICKtendo DS]

My bad. I must've read that wrong.

Anywho, I like the Ice Climber one, but I think the first one fits best.

[Garamonde]

Either Ice Climber Virt or Professor Virtonium.

[TomGuycott]

Liking the first one best for game context, but there's no reason I can't utilize multiples as random, low chance occurrences. I actually encourage that personally, it reminds me of finding rare stone forms for Kirby in Kirby Superstar.

[Garamonde]

Remember when Gors turned into a popsicle though? I feel like creativity and references shouldn't be discouraged...

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

You're pumping out some quality work! I especially like the Midnight Moe animation, it's one of your best so far. It's awesome to see improvement like this.

Anyway, back to the portrait:

Changed a few discrepancies, like adding the lacking blue armpad and shoulderpad. You may notice I lowered the shoulder, as your character was looking quite squat (forced perspective?), and I tried giving more volume to the chest, as it looked quite flat before - you may note that JJBA characters have this strange pectoral thing going which is not so much a board with rounded edges, but a simplified and merged shape of the pecs, with a straight edge along the bottom. I messed around with the face a tiny bit, to get a more neutral expression.

I hope it helps somehow, I'm looking forward to more!
