WIP! Minako's New Look!
Added 2018-06-27 10:06:29 +0000 UTCHey folks!
;) I tried making the girls a little thicc-er this time, but just around the waist. Our girl's hair will have gradient funk. Summer's outfits are done. I'm just letting them sit there since I may have changes later on.
My artwork's undergoing some changes as I try to establish a new aesthetic standard for Summertime. I've looked around and I think it'd be best to have:
- Simpler BGs. The last time I had them done, they took forever. The focus is on our ladies anyway. I'm going for a rough or clean look, line-only, with monotone lighting.
- I'm looking into doing away with the partner's body (the dude) in favor of a floating dick and balls and hands/arms or foot whenever they are used. You guys cool with this? I think I've drawn enough to make this appendage look decent by itself lol. This'll make it a little easier to adapt the game for multi gender roles for our MC, too. I can look into retaining the dude's waist and part of the legs.
- I may draw our hero and/or heroine in as an in-game character or portrait. I'm still thinking about this given the situation.
- Animations will continue the way they were established for Summertime. I'll only focus on key animation sequences and no added complications (like a specific interaction that's linked to a choice.)

Hehe, the black to blonde, or blonde to black isn't a bad idea - maybe dark brown or something. I'll look into it. The partner body in RnO is still being drawn in, this time around I'll see if I can nuke it. That saves on skeletons and draws, too, so the game might run faster for everyone. If there's a face or an avatar, I'll see if it can be "switched off" or something haha! The animations for summertime have been reduced in complexity to let me speed up the process. Ex: I don't do a lot of experiments.

2018-06-28 00:07:42 +0000 UTCI like it but maybe she and summer are a bit too similar in the face 😬
2018-06-27 22:18:01 +0000 UTCYou do what you gotta, man. If I'm being honest, the additional thickness looks off to me, but I've never been a good critic. I do like the hair gradients, though -- especially Minako's. Oooh, Make Ise go from blonde to black, that'll be hilarious. If simplifying the BGs will lighten the workload, by all means, go for it. As for the MC's body, that sounds pretty similar to what's already in RnO, which is fine by me. If I'm understanding the third point right, sounds like you want to give the protag a face. Wouldn't be the first time a self-inserter like myself had to ignore something like that lol. The last point confuses me a bit, but I trust your judgment.
