Concept post
Just a scrapped concept for a new character I liked.
In an earlier post I mentioned some issues with Mekki’s sprites, and I thought I’d open that up a bit in case someone happens to be interested.
Since Mekki is pretty much the only character with asymmetrical hair (so far) she has two hair sprites to match flipping the body sprites.
This creates some problems when moving to coloring since her braid tends to overlap or underlap parts on the body sprites.
Whatever would be under or “behind” the braid can be covered by simply not making it transparent, but that can’t be done with what’s in front/on the braid thanks to the layer order, so the colored sprites tend to have plenty of small extra layers to fix these issues.
Here’s a little bonus: Mekki with twin braids, because playing around with sprites is pretty fun.
Lawe’s got some defining as well as a little wardrobe change.
I don’t know why these two weren’t on the fixing list already, but I guess it brings me back to the beginning again - the old sprites just start looking unbearable.
Also I heard it’s LEWD week, so maybe I should do some extra.
Out of all the sprite fixes, Mekki’s are the biggest (not a boob joke). After the feedback from the demo and some personal issues that annoyed me, she’s been pretty much completely redrawn! I’ll probably tackle a specific issue in a later post when I actually manage to get to it, since it requires all her other sprites drawn first.
The second picture of this post here is just a piece of some concept art of a new character. I liked the hair , but it unfortunately got scrapped. Really fun character to draw, can’t wait to get her sprites.
