Started on the NPCs for my game this week
The motif of my game is basically "fruit culture" So everything, from buildings to people, is fruit-themed 
Characters from left to right are: [Bakers] Blue Berry, Straw Berry, [Triplets] Rapel Gapel & Yapel, [Arcade Owner] Flora Passif, [Player Character, instrument shop owner] Cider, [Arcade Frequenter] Lee Chi *I am 100% pleased with Cider, I got alot of help from Marco Vale on him, included him for reference. *There are more NPCs to be added, but I wanted to hear some first thoughts on how to improve these sprites! |

And about sprites I can not say anything definite , the difficulty will go when you start animate them  , then it will be a lot of problems, but now the sprites look's fine. |

Well, every character was designed with a name and role in mind - so I figured I'd state them 🤔 I guess the domination has to do with the colors, my new NPCs blend too much with the BG perhaps, that's one of my reasons for this thread as I'm not sure how to re-create my palette - I always use the same 2 variations of hue shifting to it - they're my coloring bread and butter About the animations - I'll burn that bridge when I get to it - I'm glad to hear someone thinks the sprites are at least fine, thank you! 😄 |
