This reminded me that my Eirin Archer skin still exists.


(ofc while not a carbon copy of her, still heavily inspired)

(not to steal your thread tho. nice concepts. I would have done reisin and kaguya myself if I wasn’t too lazy)

[Gensokyo]

Nice skin and don’t worry! It’s nice that there are fellow Touhou players in the community.

I actually thought on making Kaguya as a Skin for Priest, but eh… Byakuren turned out better.

[Heartfelt]

I love these sprites and I love you. Off the top of my head, some other stuff that could be nice are Poison Melancholy as Assassin, Flan/Remi as Necro, and Clownpiece as Trickster.

[Gensokyo]

Medicine Melancholy as Assassin

Check OP

As for Flandre, i tried making her as the skin for Archer originally, but apart from the goddamn wings, her palette sucks, and about Remilia… maybe.

Clownpiece, discarded her because of the USA Flag clothing she has (would be extremely confusing) and there’s already a Jester Skin for Trickster, through she wields some kind of Wand, the problem is that while she fits for Sorcerer too, there’s the Mardi Gras skin, so, yeah.

[Heartfelt]

Check OP

It’s beautiful. not the first time I’ve messed up her name

As for Flandre, i tried making her as the skin for Archer originally, but apart from the goddamn wings, her palette sucks, and about Remilia… maybe.

Perfectly understandable now that I think about it. Looks like there’s hope yet for one of the Scarlets.

Also must say that these descriptions are pretty damn creative.

[IVSlash]

pretty danke

[Striix]

Weebs.

[CrystalPX]

Honestly, same goes for every other skin.

The main thing you should do is get rid of the banding if possible, also, get less dull colors (Something more vibrant would help, also, don’t oversaturate them). Remember to try to not make their skin blend with their hair/clothes. Also, work around with references a little bit. use Pfiffel and use the skins in there as reference for animations and how to make them.. Also, if you need help, try using this thread.

[Gensokyo]

Huh, through 3 shades was enough to fit RotMG. Basically kept it as a rule for all of my skins. On my first tries i used 2 shades, it looked awfully dull. I mean, most of the newest Skins has up to 3 shades.

Komachi’s eye doesn’t appear because her hand is covering it since she’s holding the scythe upwards, the same thing can be noticed on the Front attack animation. As for the scythe’s shape, it’s perspective. If she was holding the scythe perfectly straight, the blade would be longer, but it tilts a bit, so the blade logically changes the shape.

I admit Mokou’s back animation is quite weird, but that’s because how long her hair is, so, on her back sprite her hair moves a bit (noticeable on the front sprites), and for her attack, i gave it a surrounding glow coming from her fire blast. I did the same for every Skin that had a “light source” for their back sprites so they don’t look dull.

Through, i don’t see the problem with the shades, i put the Character’s Artwork on the gifs so you could see the comparisons, mostly on the colors. I was trying to keep up to the original character. i can see that some skins (Yuugi, Eirin and Mokou) have some blending problems, i’ll most likely fix them.

[CrystalPX]

Huh, through 3 shades was enough to fit RotMG

3 shades of the same color consecutively creates gradients, if they’re apart from each other, then it wont create it.

Komachi’s eye doesn’t appear because her hand is covering it

Thing is, if it blends, it’s not readable. You had to explain it to me just so I could know what was going on in the animations. Thing is, if someone can’t catch it at first, then it’s not very readable.

Through, i don’t see the problem with the shades

The thing with banding and what “banding” means is that you can see pixels pretty obviously, despite you would have other decisions to prevent this and you can better hide the pixel grid. It is bad, because it makes the pixelart noisy, hard to look at and tells right away that you are looking at pixelart.

[Seelpit]

Sakuya Izayoi (Trickster)

Perfect Maid Rogue Skin

Ah, so it’s an Assassin skin!

_{I take it you partially came up with this idea because Poshun also put Touhou-inspired skin in the game -w-}

[Gensokyo]

Perfect Maid Rogue Skin

Oh shoot. Fixed.

Yeah, the initial inspiration was because there was already two Touhou Skins in the game (Marisa and Youmu), i’m not sure to take the Shrine Maiden Skin for Priest as a actual Touhou Skin since only the description references Reimu, while the Skin doesn’t look like her.

3 shades of the same color consecutively creates gradients, if they’re apart from each other, then it wont create it.

Hmm, i see.

Thing is, if it blends, it’s not readable. You had to explain it to me just so I could know what was going on in the animations. Thing is, if someone can’t catch it at first, then it’s not very readable.

I thought the animation was pretty straight-forward, i didn’t put the hand lower because it wouldn’t fit with the distance she holds the scythe in the Walking animations, through making her hands darker would be more simple, i’m not sure how well it’ll look.

Honestly, i don’t see what you mean with this considering these are 8x8 sprites, looking at them as pixelart is common sense, regardlessly on how good or bad a sprite can be. It’s obvious.

Well, I totally see your point, but 3 shades overlaying each other usually looks terrible. Just keep in mind that if you wanna make a smooth realm sprite, use 2 shades for each color max. You can use more than 3, as long as they’re far apart.

[Hoaxie]

Colab, when?!

The two newest skins i added have at most 2 shades now, atleast most of colors, as a test. I still applied the light sources.

Looks decent, but not too much of a fan through, i won’t be applying that too much on my skins.

[Gensokyo]

Bump!

I’m going to work on more skins!

Right now i’m planning on doing Doremy Sweet, Shinmyoumaru Sukuna and Hata no Kokoro skins.

[HorusKane]

The attack animation for the back view (bottom right) looks backward, her arm is swinging the wrong way.

[Gensokyo]

What do you mean? It’s an exact mirror of the Front sprite.

[HorusKane]

Look at the (dagger?) it looks like it’s swinging toward the screen, when it should be swinging away from the screen.
