Avy's MZ Stuff

Many of those conversions will need extra time and care because of the really off proportions or missing feet, but today I took some of the easier ones of the remaining battler-less characters and converted another batch of three from

to

Whoa, you're actually better than I am at editing those avatars. I am so impressed.

Such attention to details, the stance corrections are perfect.

I really hope y'all don't get bored with these conversions, but as of now I am having quite some fun making them and I really like how they fill the spreadsheet ;D
I can totally see today's SF_Actor3_1 (the "daddy") as your mentor character in the first fight, standing there to teach your party their first battle experience :3

Today I have two that were a more than the default color and posture and light rework, because, see yourself:

... you might see what was the problem ;)


Here they are, ready for a fight!

Also, believe it or not, those two lads bring the amount of completed default characters to 70.

Today I have another emoset for a default character that has his facial expressions under control.
People3_6 seems to be your average butler, but is he really?
Maybe he is in reality a nobleman in disguise, sneaky and trying to help everyone who plans to kill the evil usurpator king?
Maybe he is the lover of the queen, having this role to give everyone a reason why he is around at court?
Maybe he is actually a very smart and skilled bodyguard, just dressed up to not provoke supsicion?

Anyways, he is what you want him to be, and here is an emoset to give you a good chance to expand his character and role in your game!

Yeah, I know, I know, it is a lot of what the RTP is missing lately... I promise, advent will be more diverse and it is getting closer any day!
And the list really fills up nicely, I mean, if more people made stuff for it, I might not be as tempted to do it myself ;D

Plus, you still have time to leave any suggestion or any wish you have!
While I am technically finished, I am still rotating stuff a little to make the calendar a little cooler ;3

So, today I have

...
uhm, I mean, five guys from the RTP which I converted to battlers.
I finally get a good workflow for most of them, it always depends how crooked the image base is...

They all got their stance correction, more prominet outline, light and color adjustment and bonus highlights on the hair!



SF_Actor2_1



SF_Actor2_7



SF_Actor3_3



SF_Actor3_5



SF_People1_3

These definitely look more like people you don't want to mess with. Looking good!
The bonus hair highlight makes a great difference.

As long as they aren’t as greasy as Five Guys?
They really, truly do have way more a pop tho!

Wow Avery, you always have some cool stuff. I hoped you were still making resources as I've used alot of it in the course of gamemaking. ((Never released or anything.)) Definitely people need to credit you when they use your resources.

Hope you have a wagon or something around here, I haven't had the time to browse through the collection.

So, another of the default characters is finished completely - the 72nd! Not that I would count, hahaha, yeah totally not.

SF_Actor3_3 got his battler, and now he can charm or fall in love himself!
I feel like he really has a "modern dating sim" vibe to him, so if you really needed a dark and handsome character to romance, here you go!
Given that I already made his SV battler, too, he could also be your main hero in a detective game or with his static battler from tuesday the saw-like final villain in your horror-escape-themed setting!




@OmnislashXX
I have this one that I made in January.

Oh, nice! I'll probably use that sometime in the future. (( Probably not in the near ))

I wonder if you could take that wagon though and with a little innovation, take something like a tent and make a cover for it. I guess anything is possible.

Those modern-day people are cool too - I thought about making a modern-day RPG at some point - we don't have too many of those.

Good stuff, Avery! :rhappy:

EDIT: Just to let you know, some of the pictures in your post are broken.

I shuffeled around some stuff in advent because I was of course still doing new things and some of what you've seen lately was rotated out.
So is the case with today's resources. For something hopefully even cooler I took out (SF)Actor2_6's emoset.

As you can tell by my latest release, I am kinda working my way through the things on what the RTP is missing where I am like "Yeah, I can see me do that."
I know, it is not everyone's favourite resource stuff, but that list is kinda my baby and I like to think that it is something really handy and useful, especially if you plan to make a fun little project with the default characters or want to use the default stuff as surprising cameos (like a fight against Reid).

I always do that little statistic part on the side and I know at some point the list will cap. And right now I am having fun working my way through some of these things and just cross my fingers that somewhere around the globe someone is a little happier because I do that.

Long story short: While Actor2_6 already had an emoset, SF_Actor2_6 did not and more emotions are never a bad thing, so I gave SF a full emoset and ported them for her fantasy counterpart as well :3

I really like the fantasy one, Actor2_6, one of my favourite default designs... maybe because of the really pretty hairstyle ;D

(This also makes SF_Actor2_6 the 73rd complete character!)

And one by one, or in this case, by three, I am filling the list up.

If you wonder how I select the battlers I am converting: If I plan to do multiple like today, I look for the ones where I have not that much editing to do to fix the posture. For example, Evil8's bottom needed a touch up, but that is okay to do. I have other ones, like Actor1_8, where I think I will edit a weapon in, and that one will just need more time and focus.

Evil8 also made it on the roster for today, since there is now a super cool SV battler for him, and the static battler brings him to completion :3
(With Evil8 and People1_2, we have now 75 complete characters!)

Today we have:


Evil 8

People1_2

People1_3

Those stance corrections always look like wizardry to me. I know something is weird with the original, but I could never point out what it is, let alone fix it, and you seem to have a knack for it. Looks great!

I feel like no many of those emosets and battlers I make, there are still tons left to do... so better not stopping and keep going I guess?

SF_People1_3 and People1_3 are the generic handsome young male NPC that you might need in your game - for your heroine's first love who stayed behind in her home village, as a questgiver to find his father who left to slay a legendary monster years ago or as the traitor who is the information leak in your faction's resistance.
Or well, whatever else you want him to be ;3

These look good. For a reason I can't quite put my finger on I think emo 3 is particularly good. It might be the combination of the tiny iris of the eye (& the overal shape of the eye) together with that mouth, but whatever it is, it is very expressive.

Thanks a lot! I always have to kinda guess which emotions might suit a character, and those just seemed to suit him perfectly ;3

And, another batch of battlers!

I got into a good workflow and decided to just do some more :3 I also think the stance corrections do a lot especially for the ones on the left side!
The whole time I thought someone else might do some of those emosets and battler conversions, but since it is as it is, I am trying to do as much of it as I can before I lose the motivation ;3
Before:



After:


People1_4


People1_5


People1_6


People3_4


People4_7

With this emoset, the list goes up to a nice round 76% completion!
Again, the fantasy version already had an emoset, but since I made the SF version anyways, I gave the fantasy one those bonus expressions ;3

This is also the 76th all complete character!

Whoop whoop!

Actor2_7



SF_Actor2_7

You're really on a roll with these emo sets. Well done.
My favourite is the one that could be used either for angry or for throughly fed up (final SF bust.)

Man, you never cease to impress me. Honestly, if these emosets are so awesome, I can't wait to see what the advent is like.
