Title: A simpe colour change needed along with a sprite edit.
Post by: FourPieceBars on February 09, 2009, 05:49:15 AM
I honestly feel a bit greedy making a request for my first post, but hopefully someone can help me out...

I found the perfect face set for a character in a game I'm working on, but I need it re-coloured.

Here's a link to the face set.  Click (http://charas-project.net/resources_download.php?id=14875&file=resources%2FFacesets%2F10978_1095518420.jpg)

It doesn't seem to be RM2K3 compatible, but maybe I'm crazy.  I need the brown coloured wolf on the bottom to be recoloured dark grey and white, as well has have blue eyes.  I attempted to edit them in Gimp and was quite successful, but for some reason when I applied it to RM2K3, it lost a fair amount of it's colour and quality.  I want the face set to match the sprite set I'm using, which brings me to my second request...

The second thing I need done should also be fairly simple.  I need an addition sprite to go along with what I already have.
Link to original sprite: Click (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/drenrin2120/MainCharas_Timber.png)

Basically,  I just need more of a variety of poses for the wolf, such as sitting, laying down/sleeping, etc.  Edit:  It seems this set isn't compatible with RM2K3.  So I guess part of the edit would be to make it RM2K3 compatible...

If someone can do these things for me, then it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
4PB

I finished two faces, but I wanted to check with you. Is this shade fine?

That's actually pretty darn good!  Thank you.  The only thing I would change is make the light fur just a little lighter.  I'd prefer it to be a nice clean white, but then there's the problem of the back ground.  Also, blue eyes are a must.  It'll be more noticeable I suppose on the other expressions, since the two you did the eyes are kind of small/squinted.

I really appreciate your help and I'm looking forward to the final edit!

Edit:  I think realized why the face sets(including the recolour you made for me) don't work.  They are saved as PNG files.  If I convert it to JPG it works fine, but becomes ridiculously pixelated...  Maybe computers hate me :yell:

PNGs do work, just not at that color depth. You need to set them to 256 colors, instead of 16 million.

Depends on the program you use to edit the image.

I use Paint Shop Pro with images, so it's just a simple Image->Color depth->256. But if you use photoshop or some other image editor, you should be able to look it up on google.

Love your avatar, by the way. ;)

Yeah, my avatar kicks *** and most people seem to agree.  I was able to change the colours on the facesets myself, but I did a terrible job at it, so if someone is still up to finishing the job, then have at 'er.  Also, I still need the sprite edits I mentioned before and made RM2K3 compatible.

I completely forgot about this. I'll have to finish them tomorrow.
