Xenomic's Hi-Res Touhou Sprites Thread

[Xenomic]

Well, after one of my partners made a Midnight Bliss for one of the Touhou gals, I started thinking....hm....that looks really nice. Too bad that the original sprites of the characters aren't the right size and what they SHOULD look like....so....I decided to do this little tiny project, though dunno how much I'll be doing these. So, I decided hell, let's do my favorite from Touhou ^^


I'll start putting my final sprites here now:



Komachi Onozuka









Reimu Hakurei









Remilia Scarlet










Sakuya Izayoi











Youmu Konpaku




















Criticisms and comments are more than welcome. I'll probably do some more of the Touhou girls later on, starting with the ones that have sprites right now before doing the ones that don't have them. Next will probably be either Remilia or Youmu, depending on which one I feel like doing. ^^

[R.I.C.O - Twon]

Very nice

[Swiziga]

looks really nice, just her upper body doesn't seem to match her lower body. it looks like she has tiny legs

[Xenomic]

I think the proportions are just fine. It's just more or less how the dress makes her look I guess.



Alright, worked a bit more on her after Ken's correction, and this is what I got:








What I fixed is the lower right of her skirt, and I also fixed the face. Doesn't look so manly now.

[Xenomic]

Alright, so now I'm thinking of making this a project, since I'm enjoying this so much. And now....for my next sprite, which I know, still needs worked on, but......here's Remilia Scarlet for all of you folks:













And for comparison if you want, her in-game sprite:








Next will more than likely be Youmu, so keep an eye out! ^^ Comments and the like are always welcomed ^^

[Xenomic]

Updated sprite for Reimu







Moved the belt up. I didn't think it should go directly below her breasts, since in the artwork, it's not that high up on her. Also, fixed shading on the upper torso, slimmed the sleeve down, and fixed her breasts to actually look like they should.

[Xenomic]

Next sprite, just got done today, Youmu Konpaku:







Granted, I like how it turned out, but it still needs some work done to it. First off, reason why she looks stubby, is due to how she's standing before anyone says anything.


Next, the things that I see wrong....


1) White frill on dress are still too big. Blech .-.
2) Back sword sheath looks fat .-.
3) Bottom of upper shirt could use more work on....hard to explain
4) Flower COULD use some more work, though flowers aren't my things.
5) Left leg could use a bit more work. Doesn't look right .-.









Original sprite for comparsion:

[Xenomic]

And now, the more I look at Youmu's sprite, the more I feel disappointed by it. .-.

[ATiC3]

Your sprites are very good. I would say to update the 3rd one, and definitely fix the last one... it's good... but the char is small still... Other than that, they're great.

[Xenomic]

Gonna be working on Youmu for sure. Updated the first post with all the final sprites so far.

[Xenomic]

And updated sprite for Youmu, which will still need more work done to:








Looks a LOT better compared to the old sprite. x_x

[SPOOKY77]

Very nice man 

[Xenomic]

Sakuya Izayoi:








And original sprite for comparison if you need it:

[Xenomic]

Preview so far:








All I've done so far is fix up the legs. I THINK that they're much better now, and tried out the line shading thing on her as well on both her arms and legs. I think it worked out fine. Also moved her left eye down (her left, our right. . So confusing). Also fixed her "diamond-esque" shoulder to be a bit more rounded out. Trying to think of what else I need to do on her....I know that her hat is my next thing to work on.....but other than that, not sure on what else.

[Xenomic]

Here's what I got:



For Remilia:






Fixed the face, so that it doesn't look tiny anymore, and Gollum-ish (). And tried to fix the right hand (her left hand to her), but....that still needs worked on, and I don't know how to fix that right now. Also fixed up her wings to look better. ^^





For Sakuya:





Moved her legs over about 3 pixels to the left, due to someone mentioning that she looked like her body was broken in half (lawl). Will be working on her hat and face to make it look better as well later on.




Right now, my main focus is on Remilia, so if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do to fix her, let me know (and yes, I did try anti-aliasing and line shading on Remilia's face and hands, as well as her wings somewhat. Dunno if the rest of her needs it or not).

[ItalianStallion]

Not only did you change them from chibi to normal size, but you also made them look from young to old ladies

[Xenomic]

Old? What do you mean old?

[ItalianStallion]

Old? What do you mean old?

I don't know theyre faces look like old women, grannys. Maybe the clothes they wear makes me them look like old women but for some reason in their chibi form they look like little girls.

[Xenomic]

o.O


Where do you get the old look from??? I don't see anything old looking in their faces o.o


And the only one that I think would look old from clothing is Remilia but.....I still don't see how they look old o.o???

[Xenomic]

Update on Remilia:







Shrunk down the hair is all I did. Dunno if it looks good on her now or not. x_x



Also, does anyone have any suggestions on that bloody hand? That's like....the only real thing to fix up on her now. x_x

[Xenomic]

And now.....I'm at a stump as to what to do with Remilia.....so far, that hand is still the only real thing left to do, but according to many people, the face still needs worked on.....somehow. If anyone wants to help me on that, please, let me know. Even though I'd like to be able to do these without that much help on the spriting part, there's just some things I can't do it seems .-.



Also, according to a couple people, I don't use antialiasing that much or something.....and apparently, my shading's not that good either, which I don't see being that bad, and that the curves are messed up (and I'm guessing they're referring to all 4 of my sprites at that). I'm just not getting it....what's so bad about the shading and curves? I thought they were just fine personally. .-.


Oh, and I'm sure someone might say this later on down the line, but I'm not going to use Alien Blow-Up to 2x Scale for simple reasons.....1) That would be a somewhat easy way out of this and 2) Sprites look terrible when bloated up in this manner (especially these). Example:




Original:





Double size:






Triple size:






Yeah....MIGHT help with details and whatnot somewhat.....but other than that.....not going to use it for making hi-res sprites any other way .-.



However, after playing with 2x Scale, I think it can help with details a bit more:


Original sprite:






Sprite from 2x Scale:





After using this, I realized.....damn.....her left hand (our right) has knuckles.....so now I think I know how to fix it finally .-.

So yeah, might use 2x Scale to help with details if I need it....not too much though, but yeah......

[Xenomic]

Well! I think I can say that I like how this is now. I had help on the hands, since I could NOT for the life of me get them right, so if there's a problem with the hands, let me know (probably is. )








I smoothed out the edges that I saw needed them (curves, edges, whatever). Of course, I probably didn't get them all but....yeah. Also made her eyes bigger, and gave her a different mouth. Another guy did her hands, as stated before, and I included her waist sash thingie since there's a place to put it now.

[Xenomic]

Should I feel discouraged after seeing these? Cuz I kinda do....but kinda don't in a way


http://roadroller.iza-yoi.net/guiltymiko.htm



And yes, there is a page 2.




Reason I'm bringing this up: Granted, I thought my sprites were alright at best, maybe not the best, but not the worst. Then, after seeing these (I saw them long ago, when there were only 4 sprites there), I started to feel somewhat discouraged and down cuz they're just so much better than what I have......though I kinda like some of mine better than his (only one that I've made so far that I don't like more than his is Remilia, cuz his Remilia is really good .-.). Probably cuz I try to stick to them theirselves but....eh.....


Anyways, thought I'd share that. ^^:

[ItalianStallion]

Wow those sprites are amazing, specially this one:



you shouldn't feel discouraged about your work though.

[Vault-tec Rep Høröúßøí]

ya never feel discouraged about your work  atleast u can do sprite all I can do is use ps to make avy's for people... and I'm 50/50 at best... compared to most of the artist on this forum
