CHALLENGE: Multi-Purpose PortraitFrom challenge winner Kaiseto comes this week's challenge. Create either a 1/2 body or a 3/4 body portrait of a character that could be used during a dialogue sequence in a game. Some examples of this are shown here (Clockwise from top left: Disgaea, Disgaea 2, Prince of Persia: The Fallen King, The World Ends With You). Remember, the bottom-right image is an example of what not to do. The character can be anything as long as it is capable of speech. The pixel art should be the character only. Everything outside the character should be fully transparent. You are to make a portrait that can be used with multiple dialogs; the expression must be suitable for all three of the dialogues listed below:
Canvas Size - Max 180 x 240. Visual sample portraits. NOTE WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE CHALLENGE RULES

Haha, this should be fun. :P
*gets to work* I plan on entering this one! Okay, question: Do we really have to make it suit ALL of those lines? That'd be exceedingly difficult to match. D: Edited by Angel of the Great - 06 July 2009 at 12:13am |

Yes yes yes yes! I'm in this one fo' sho'.
BUT, I know it's a challenge, but the rules essentially want us to create a single expression for asking a polite question, stating a desprate fact, and thanking someone. the 1st and 3rd can be turned sinister and the character with a smirk or something, but that is incompatible with the 2nd.
"The character can be anything so long as it is capable of speech"...hmmm!
I guess it's open to interpretation! The ideas are already conjuring in my head! Edited by Timbit - 06 July 2009 at 3:26am |

"The character can be anything so long as it is capable of speech"
Does that means that I can make a rock with a mouth? :P Seriously though, this sounds fun. Got a few ideas in mind that might work. |

So, it's gotta be just the character? or with backgrounds like the examples here?

Just an early WIP:
![]() What do you guys think about it? Is it OK for a 3/4 body portrait? It is obviously inspired by Lady GaGa's look, which I personally love. Edited by susuwataris - 06 July 2009 at 8:43am |

Asukicco : great shading and line art ! Make me think to a colonial adventurer, I don't know why... Maybe you should remove the shoulder straps, or just redefine them, because they don't correspond to your character's personnality. Anyway, go ahead, this is amazing.

Jeremy, thats a nice idea. Since sharks always look angry, he could be saying any of those stuff. :P
linx: I think the thingies on her shirt look a bit weird. Her breasts are also a little weird. |

Jeremy, your shark looks AWESOME. :O
linx, I think you could fix the problem with the breasts by not putting such a harsh outline underneath them towards the midde. eckered- looks kind of creepy but awesome work so far XD Here's an update on mine. I'm happy with her hair for sure. Not sure about the dress yet... Also, fixed the problem with her head shape... I think. xD I got rid of the floating hairs because they were just distracting and didn't look too good. I might re-add them later. Dunno. ![]() |

linx I did an edit of yours, which I kind of got carried away with but I included all the steps I took so hopefully thats of help
![]() dont pay attention to the arms I just threw those on at the last second for the sake of having arms. I couldnt tell whether you were trying to draw the body at a frontal view or 3/4 view because the face looked like it was at 3/4 but the body looked frontal. But I figured that ussualy when people talk to each other they dont have their head and body turned different directions so I did it all in 3/4 view. It might be good to draw a central line down her body to keep every thing in perspective, remember in 3/4 view the central line is closer to one side of the body. You might disagree with the colors, but I tried shifting the skin a little towards purple and the shirt more towards blue so it would all go together with the purple hair. Also I think you have too many colors on yours right now, some of the colors are too similar. Hope that helps some. eckered, that quote is halarious with that guy, cool idea. dai, I think yours looks a little too gray all over. Maybe try adding a bit of saturation to just either the shadows or highlights. I mean I think its okay to have it desaturated but maybe not all over. |

![]() *EDIT*
Finished o_O the teeth need a little more work. The top look like they are behind are level with the bottom teeth. If you look at the mouth for a while, the teeth look like the are actually going inward into the sharks mouth. I suggest adding darker depth to the bottom set of teeth and moving the top set of teeth to the right a few pixels. |

We have to save the princess!
![]() Here's my concept art for a character portrait - I really love this challenge, Kaiseto, thanks! Where's my crystal? ![]() And here's a value (shading) render that I'm trying in mono. I hope to convert to a hue (chroma) render when it's finished. I'd love c+c on it - thanks! p.s. - So many great works developing (Jeremy, your shark is terrific) that I'm really inspired to live up to them (Asukicco, dig your warrior). |

Simply comparing this to your thing are 2 different worlds,more or less, in terms of shading, so far. EITHER that...or you have completely no idea how to shade :)!
