Bloodlust soildier

[legacyblade]

Hey everyone. I'm making some evil spirit for my game, and his cult revolves around blood (hence the name) Anyways, here's what I got so far, what you guys think?

[Juan]

looks nice.

[Satoh]

Do I see 'Add Noise' in there?

Looks good.

[legacyblade]

Nope, it was all done by hand. I combined my metal shading and my blood shading with my particle shading methods. Glad it turned out good!

[Fantasist]

Even for a bloodlust soldier I think it's too saturated, but that's just me. Great job LB :thumbsup:

EDIT: I almost accidentally powered you down instead of powering you up o.o

[Caro Ru Lushe]

Looks like it's made of Red Flames 

But awesome none the less <3

I imagine that the Animated version would be floating around with it's entire body-blood like parts moving, or at least such effect. Thou I think you could have used a more 'Darker' Red for the outlines to make it look like it was completely made of well, blood, but that's my opinion :x

Better than your blood sword, this has a figure.

Yeah, blood is typically a much darker color than people realize/try to use.

Take a look at a blood bag some time, they're almost black, and there isn't really that much blood in them...

I'm not saying it looks bad by any means though.

My suggestion:
Multiply the whole sprite set when it's done, and increase the contrast. (This assumes you have photoshop at your disposal.)

@Fantasist, ok, I'll try darkening the blood a bit. I borrowed my blood pallet from another sprite, and didn't think about making it darker. and lol, I'm glad you didn't power me down.

@Caro, Yah, everyone seems to think it doesn't look much like blood. I need to darken it up a bit, like everyone seems to be suggesting. And yes, he's going to float, and the blood will be animated. It's going to look cool, when I'm finished.

@Deathlock, the sword had a figure, it was just more bloody, XD But thanks, glad you like it.

@Satoh, true. I think I need to just use the outline color a tad more. Most of the blood is shaded with the highlight. Combining shading methods is difficult, XD I'll try the saturation method. I have PS, but I prefer changing contrast manually, since it makes me understand how pixels work.

@LB: You can never make an excuse for sprites.
