Zappy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm going for a cartoony graphic style here, including the soon to come tiles and items. However I'm not sure which sprite style to go with!They're very minimally altered, but I'm having a tough time deciding which one should stick!Style 1, no thick outlineStyle 2, thick black outlineStyle 3, thick darkened outlineNew possibility, thin black outlineThe items and such would all be similar to 1 of these 3 different outline styles:Which do you think I should use ?Demo with some mock tiles: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadalinV Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Cant you show example of those on a map? Also, items are great ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I prefer the thin outline for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I haven't made tiles yet. (I'm trying to get most of the important programming aspects done first) So I can't I really show them on a map :cIf I placed them on the normal RMXP tiles, they seem a bit out of place , aha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agoraphobic Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm torn, I really like all 3 styles. Probably would have to see how they look on a tileset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Aha, wish I had some a set made x) maybe I can make something quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah, After testing it with some test tiles I made, the black outline version seems to fit better. It makes the sprite pop a bit.I'll post this screenie in the OP Drew some test tiles that may or may not look like what I'm going for…. Mostly just a mock up.

Agoraphobic Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Might just be me, but the thick black outline feels more like an "Aura" around your character. Where you can have another color attached to it for like a fireshield or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I've gotten mixed messages, I have no idea which one to go with, ahaha. And since the screenshot image was in a different order, I'm not sure which one y'all are referring to at times x) Let's see if I can put a poll up ~!Probably should have thought of this early, derp.Thin black outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Aha, I thought so. The whole time I was trying to figure out a good way to outline it I was thinking "I.. I'm forgetting something here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I really like the look of the thick black outline. Kind of makes it look almost toon shaded. Though i am not sure i would want to play a game where everyone is like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah, I guess the thick black outline could become too overwhelming with a bunch of npcs, players, and items crowding a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
