Storytellers MV Facesets [Updated 01/01/17 - SF_People1_7]

TheStoryteller01 · 2015-10-25T10:19:43+0900

LATEST UPDATE: 1st January 2017 I am still quite busy with RL and projects outside of RPG Maker so I will update this thread with new facesets in irregular intervals only. These facesets are no edits of the stock portraits and also not made with the MV generator but recreations which I made in 12-20-layer paint shop files using the generator parts (mixing male and female and tinkering a lot of elements together myself). The coloring (including hue, saturation and brightness) is also done completely in paint shop to give me more control over the colors and allow me to customize every single element. TERMS OF USE: Everything is made from RPG Maker MV stock media and is free for non-commercial use with RPG Maker projects. Please credit Kadokawa/Enterbrain and TheStoryeller01 if you use it. If you want to use anything for a commercial project get in touch with me, I'm willing to further customize the sets. No redistribution of the originals or of any edits allowed - if you want to share these ressources, please link to this thread. I try to stay close to the appearance of the stock portraits but I also take the sprites into account - and I'm afraid I won't be able to recreate everything in the generator style. I will also try to capture the "character" of the actors, which means if an actor shows a friendly face, I will use more smiles and if an actor has a stone face, the emotions will be more subtle. That way I hope to make the facesets more unique and inspiring for developers. However, the basic emotions for all facesets are the same, with the exception of the last one, which will be custom depending on the character: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad, custom* (from left to right, top row first) . *I've been told, that the last (8th) standard emotion, "ashamed" doesn't really work because it's too close to sad and often not convincing. So I decided to make the last (8th) emotion a custom one depending on the inspiration from the character. I'll always put the newest one here on top and keep the rest in the spoilers. Added another faceset for SF_People1_7. The sprite 7 from the sheet SF_People1 has no stock portrait, so I created one in a 16-layer paint shop file using the MV generator parts. To support the appearance of an old man, I set the head lower onto the neck and also tilted it slightly for most expressions. The hair and clothing are tinkered together from various generator parts. The following emotes are displayed neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad, and for the extra one: doubtful (from left to right, top row first) [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/sf_people1_7a-mv.png[/IMG] Actor1_1 to Actor1_8 facesets (COMPLETE): Spoiler This is Actor1_1. The colors are not exactly the same as in the stock portrait but they still fit the sprites. [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/actor1_1-mv.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_2. It differs a lot from the stock portrait but I think the new hair color and the custom clothing fit the sprites much better. I also decided to let her keep black pupils. [IMG]http://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/actor1_2-mv1.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_3. The hair color is not the same as in the stock portrait and it fits the sprites only ok. While the stock portrait was too red imo, mine lacks the yellow highlights. I decided to keep the standard skin color and gave him darker eyes because it think that matches the sprite better. [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/actor1_3-mv.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_4. It took some time to get the hair color right but the end result matches the sprites quite well imo. I kept the standard skin color and gave her eyes more brown and less yellow and I also tinkered my own version of the bandana and (slightly) recolored it as well as the clothing to match the sprites better. [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/actor1_4-mv.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_5. I chose a different hair color as in the stock portrait to match the sprites better and tweaked the clothing a bit to make the scarf fit right. [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/actor1_5-mv.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_6. The hair color is different from the stock portrait to match the sprites better and I used an edited version of the male scarf, because I found the female one didn’t look like it matched the sprites well. [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/actor1_6-mv1.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_7. Compared to the stock portrait the hair is a bit darker and more saturated but that matches the sprites better imo. Because I couldn't find a single spot of brown on the sprites, I also recolored the brown clothing parts to blue and darkeded the cloak a bit to match the sprites better. [IMG]https://thestoryteller01.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/actor1_7-mv.png[/IMG] This is Actor1_8. I couldn't replicate the perspective of the stock portrait…

Added another faceset for Actor3_8. I heavily edited the hat parts from the MV generator and created shadow layers for the hat brim. I also choose face elements to make her look more grown-up than in the stock portrait.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: disgusted (from left to right, top row first)

Added the first faceset for the SF characters, SF_Actor1_1. Since the stock generator parts create only suits that look more like kimonos (good) or pyjamas (not so good), I "tailored" my own from generator and portrait parts (but I admit I left out the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to include). Tim Gunn was right - menswear IS hard to do.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: anxious (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_2. Compared to the stock portrait the hair is more yellowish and the eyes are darker to match the sprites better. And again I "tailored" my own jacket, shirt and tie from generator and portrait parts (and again I left out the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to include).

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: dumbfounded (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_3. This is still my "self tailored" suit & shirt from generator and portrait parts (I still left out the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to include). I also borrowed the bandana back part from the stock portrait and colored the hair with reduced hue to match the sprites better.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: suspicious (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_4. This is still my "self tailored" suit,shirt&tie from generator and portrait parts (I still left out the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to include). Otherwise it's pretty much the same as the stock portrait.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: annoyed (from left to right, top row first)

First of all, I think these facesets are great! And secondly, I think the image for the SF Actor 3 is not available. It may have something to do with the image link, so you may want to look into that...

P.S. : When are you going to finish the facesets for the rest of the RTP actors?

P.S.S: If you see an additional post with this same text, is mine. I just accidentally posted it in another person's account... :(

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_5. I colored the hair differently than in the stock portrait and also made the ear visible, both to match the sprites better. And this is still my "self tailored" suit,shirt&tie from generator and portrait parts (without the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to edit).

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: hostile (from left to right, top row first)

@Ilan14:

- I couldn't see SF_Actor1_3 missing on my end but I have renewed the link just in case (in both posts). Hope everything is available now.

- Regarding the RTP actors, I do facesets in the order which ones are fastest to make. So when I'm finished with the "easy" SF facesets, I'll take a break and then evaluate which other facesets can be disassembled into generator parts/layers. P.e. People3_6 will be fairly easy to make with edited generator parts while for People 3_5 it makes not much sense to create generator parts from scratch, just editing eyes and mouth in the stock portrait would be far easier - but there are enough people around who are far more talented and experienced in this kind of editing than me.

I like the clothing. If you wanted to change the tie a bit, you could add a darker shadow on the left and top to make it more 3-d and show the curve of the material in the top knot.

Post in WIP thread for more input, but I think the light shining on the tie would be hitting with the lightest color not extending all the way to the left.

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_6. She wears my "self tailored" suit, shirt & (remade) tie from generator and portrait parts (without the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to edit).The knot+pony is tinkered from generator parts and the hair color is notably different to the stock portrait to match the sprites better.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: anxious (from left to right, top row first)

Following feedback the tie has gotten more highlight/shadow contrast - further critique or feedback is still welcome (PM preferred, so the thread doesn't get cluttered).

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_7. He wears my “self tailored” suit&shirt made from generator and portrait parts (without the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to edit) but otherwise there are no differences to the stock portrait.

Added another faceset for SF_Actor1_8. She wears a new version of my “self tailored” suit with a more blouselike collar made from generator and portrait parts (without the blue collar stripe from the stock portrait, cause it was too much of a hassle to edit). The hair has less hue than the stock portrait to match the sprites better and I left out the blue necklace because it’s not shown on the sprites at all.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: wary (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor2_1. The hair is tinkered together from various generator parts and while looking different from the stock portrait, it matches the sprites quite well.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: contrite (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor2_2. The hair is partially edited and the color is slightly different from the stock portrait to match the sprites better.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: dissapointed (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor2_3. I gave him a different pair of glasses than in the stock portrait, because the original one didn't match the sprites and made a second version with the same weird hair coloring shown on the sprites.

Actually sometimes the facesets get "lost" for a short time because I constantly revisit and edit the old ones and when I delete/rename/upload the new set in the source upload, I sometimes have to renew the link manually.

EDIT: I also realized, that some links do not work properly all the time in IE while they do in FireFox o_O. I'll look into that and renew those links just to be sure.

Added another faceset for SF_Actor2_4. I gave her a different pair of glasses than in the stock portrait that matches the sprites better.

The emotions are: neutral, friendly, roguish, happy, surprised, angry, sad and for the extra one: uncertain (from left to right, top row first)

Added another faceset for SF_Actor2_5. I didn't find the clothing from the stock portrait doing the supposedly heavy leather coat from the sprites justice, so I tailored my own (again) from generator parts and added some rank to the chin-high shirt collar. The hair is edited from several parts and I also added a small shadow under the shades.
