shun, any ideas about fox?
this is the fox I'm happiest about.
Almost missed this. I assume you want to roll with this design, so here are some tips to help you balance it out and have it look nice.
- Desaturate the jacket sleeves by about 40 points so they look like his jacket is flipped. You have it done in the second picture, however, so match that if you haven't already.
- Brighten up the dark so it's more 80% gray rather than pitch black. This should return the detail to the armor plates and improve the over-all look.
- Darken the white so it's more 40% gray so it isn't so bright on certain stages. Brawl handles white colors oddly, so it's typically safer to go with a darker color than what looks right on your monitor.
- On his shirt, the small v-like portion just underneath his scarf would look nice if it was the same dark-gray as the armor plates, IMO.
- You may want to make the visor violet as well. It looks a tad out of place blue.
- A potential design swap, is to make the boots and gloves black (80% gray), while making the armor plates violet. You can make the boots trim along the bottom violet as well if you go with this type of design.
I think your current design has merit, but hopefully these tips give you a few ideas.
You are headed in the right direction. The patterned coat is an interesting idea. Here's a few more suggestions:
- Consider making the shoes the same color as his coat fur.
- You may want to tone down the brightness of his kimono's white trim. It's a bit hard on the eyes at the moment. Adjusting it by about 20-40 points should do.
- Don't forget to apply the skin color swap to his blink textures. I'm sure you're aware of this though.
- What you deem "missing" is the pattern on his stomach is too simple and makes the entire design uninteresting to look at. Consider copying over-vBrawl-Purple Dedede's girdle pattern, but swapping the gold lines to white.
