El with a voice? :: thinks :: if you do give her a voice ask Stacat (our own Elgala) :exhail:

:ElVhappy: I Elgala would like that very much

:Ecry: Sorry, no voices (this time around). Basically, I'm giving Excel Saga a kind of AMV Hell treatment. I've made clips of ten different songs and am going to make little scenes with the characters in that hand-drawn style with two frame animations and such. So for example, that particular scene looks like this in motion:

Very similar in style to that part of episode 18.

But I've got some good stuff planned. A lot of it is going to be scenes from the manga re-imagined in this style, but there are a few surprises thrown in.

And just to be clear, that gif you see above isn't going to make up the entire segment for that particular song. So there is animation, it just isn't very complex...

Sorry for the double post, but:

I FINALLY finished Excel's front base model (yes, I know the shoes look weird, I'm going to fix that, but that is extremely minor compared to the main thing)!

It was so frustrating

I had to make a bunch of alterations to that screen cap because she was in a weird pose. And then I got hung up on the eyes. Every time I tried to trace them, they ended up looking weird and dead until I finally figured out the solution.

Let me know what you guys think!

Hmm, normally when Excel is hailing, she puts her feet together...

Else, they look nice

:Eembarassed: Oopsies...I'll be sure to remember that when I get to putting that pose in the flash.

As for everyone else, I'd still like to hear any comments you have right now (good or bad)!

I've been making this one today for fun

I should have used normal paper...
Anyways, if this is how you'd like them drawn, tell me... if it's too detailed, let me know too... i might make the others done in time (today)

PS
This one is based of the Manga version of Excel (clothes and stuff)... so it's slightly different from the version above, that is from the anime

I love it! I'm going to redo the character model right now! This is perfect! I was thinking that the modified trace I did looked weird anyway...like mine wasn't detailed enough. And based on the manga is perfect, since my flash is based on the manga!

This is awesome! Don't change a thing! So I'm going to replace all the front shots I already made of Excel with this model. I think I only need to make some slight modifications to the existing Excel back model (like the arms and legs), otherwise, it matches this one. I'm also keeping Il Palazzo as is because I'm very satisfied with it.

MincyMatsu · « **Reply #23 on:** March 06, 2007, 02:35:32 PM »

cool, then i don't need to re-do anything... i'll start right away with the other ones... and post them once i'm done

Awesome! Can't wait! This Excel pic is so awesome!

Edit:

SEEEEEEEEXY!

I've decided to fill in the characters' colors completely while staying with scribbled backgrounds. I've also updated Excel's color scheme. BANZAI!

I've also increased the size of Il Palazzo's head to match this style:

Here's a front view of the Across girls... i need Mince, and the side views of them, then i believe i've done my part (unless you wish there's more to be done..!)

I'M Eh-chan! · « **Reply #26 on:** March 07, 2007, 05:55:01 PM »

I also need the rear view of them (or at least Hyatt and Elgala (and Mince)) :Ewink:

Edit:

So...cute...

Oh, and does anybody know the name of the font they use in the English manga?

PRESENTING: THE FINAL FRONT BASE MODELS:
*trumpets*

I'd like to take the time to thank Micki! again! If it wasn't for him, none of this would have been possible at all! (And he's still working on drawing more models for me! What an awesome guy!) Give him a round of applause! *claps*

So, what do you guys think? I'd really like to hear everyone's comments so far. Don't like the font? Disagree with the coloring? Are you even still interested?

Let me know!

Seriously! Say something! I'm desperate for attention lol

Edit: I've added a poll to the topic. Please vote in it! I would like to know which kind of written sound effects you would like me to use in the flash.

Also, I've changed the title of this topic. The fraction in the title is the amount of segments completed/total segments. (13 comes from title screen + credits + 11 real segments). So far, I have the title screen and two real segments complete. The .5 comes from a segment that is complete for all intents and purposes, but will have to be changed slightly once Micki! gives me those back models.

I'm sorry to point this out but el kinda looks well...fat

I'M Eh-chan! · « **Reply #29 on:** March 10, 2007, 12:10:26 PM »

Hmm...really?

Maybe it's the arms...she really doesn't look fat when her arms are moved away from her body.

Maybe it's just an optical illusion caused by the color of the uniform?
