Now that I don’t have to rush to get everything done, I’m going through and redrawing everything in Fromulus<\/a>. \u00a0Everyone seems to think it’s got good art (and I do, too), but it could certainly be better. \u00a0I was definitely rushed to get it all done in time, so now that I no longer have the pressing time constraint, I can do things the proper way.<\/p>\n

The obvious first place to start is with the character graphics. \u00a0Fromulus in the old version was in a profile view, which was certainly easier to draw in a short time, but not as good to look at as a 3\/4 view. \u00a0The enemies are already drawn in 3\/4, so it makes even less sense for him to be in profile.<\/p>\n

Here is a comparison shot of Fromulus’ old casting animation versus his new one:<\/p>\n

\"Fromulus<\/p>\n

The most important difference is that I increased his saturation quite a lot. \u00a0On top of this, I got rid of his single-color border and used darker versions of the color being outlined.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think?<\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2010 3:34 pm","title":"Ah, to no longer have a time constraint"}
