Quest Failed: Chapter Two - Dev Log #25
Added 2017-10-26 12:30:33 +0000 UTCHiya there,
As promised, a non-sappy dev log update on things that I can guarantee is 90% free of rambling! Maybe.
As you can see from the attached image, today I'm showcasing Cynthia's new sprite, following along from Ren's new sprite. Possibly the last sprite to be redesigned, unless I see fit that any existing sprites down the line need touching up here and there. (Not in that way, Matthew isn't that forward!)
The general outfit/design is the same for consistency in already established CG scenes, but I hope you'll agree that this sprite is a large improvement over her old one which had a variety of issues (inconsistent facial expressions, slightly awkward proportions in places).
The biggest addition to her new sprite are those toned abs she's rocking now, more befitting of a Royal Captain who trains herself daily! I'm sure someone would break their hand trying to punch those! Providing Cynthia herself didn't break their hand before it could reach her, of course.
As always, I'm receptive to feedback and will try to actively go with changes/suggestions people may have, at least to the best of my ability. Such as potential tweaks here and there if need be, though a full, new, NEW redraw would be out of the question considering time and budget.
Please let me know what you think, though I really hope you enjoy the stern captain's new look~

2017-10-26 22:17:03 +0000 UTCAaah, I see. Wouldn't want to scare the crowd on her first impression ;p It'll be fun to see what she looks like when she's angry... or after a few drinks at the tavern. Plus, it's good that she's not actually tsundere. We all know Ruby is best tsundere!

2017-10-26 19:51:20 +0000 UTCI dunno if Matt is the kind of person to worship abs in that kind of way, though there is a scene whereby there's a large focus on her midriff area~

2017-10-26 19:43:05 +0000 UTCThe slight blush on her cheeks is an extra addition to her expressions that I had set on by default when putting this preview picture together, but can be toggled off to show a far more stoic look. And I think her expression in general here was just put together from the separate eyebrow/eye/mouth layers I have at my disposal for something of a neutral look, rather than have anything too intimidating or scary for her new reveal. ; P So rest assured she still does have the kinds of expressions that were present on her old sprite, along with a far larger range of emotions/expression possibilities now, too~

2017-10-26 19:42:03 +0000 UTCDang, she looks good! In the armor design (and attending abs), but especially the face. I love how much more expressive it is, whereas the other one was pretty deadpan. At the same time, I feel this lends her a more Tsundere vibe, as opposed to her previous Ice Queen one. In this particular picture, at least, it looks like she's on the verge of either blushing or giving a death glare. Was that a deliberate design choice (as in, this is her default expression)? Or did she just see Matthew do something embarrassing again? :p

2017-10-26 14:34:33 +0000 UTCI had not looked at the old art for Ren before I commented last time, but I must say I love this art SO much more!

2017-10-26 12:49:27 +0000 UTCThose abs probably provide more protection than her armor. Lol. She looks good!
