My Flashes (Excel Saga!: Remnants posted!)

[I'M Eh-chan!]

Okay, so I did a slight re-color on her skirt and gloves and added that little thing near her feet like in your original drawing (I forgot to do that last night).



As for the head thing, I was thinking that too, but her body frame is a actually a duplicate of the plain clothed model, so I don't know what to say:



As you can see, the body shape and positions are exactly the same.  Maybe I have to play around with the collar a little bit.

[MincyMatsu]

I guess it can't be halped with the neck then...

Anyways, the improvements helped, looks better and more accurate now..!  8)

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

I think it's her chin being abit to round then again maybe not

[I'M Eh-chan!]

Maybe it's the hair or the eyes or the mouth, but I think her face looks wide.

It's the two thin hair strips on the sides.  If you look closely, you can see that the face actually angles upward at the bottom right before being covered up by the hair.

And maybe her mouth.  I might make it slightly larger once I get around to making the different lip-sync shapes.

Yeah, the coloring is a nightmare.  Every cover, the colors change, the outfit changes, one cover has Hyatt with purple anime hair, the red and black on her uniform flips (same with the yellow and black on Elgala).

@Micki!:

Thanks!  I used the old flash version for the coloring, so that's why all those purples were the same.  And like I said, I simply forgot to add the little bump at her feet.

[MincyMatsu]

Actually, the yellow and black is fairly consistent... but the stripes on the bottom constantly change. There's one, two, none, yellow or black, yellow AND black, the back is split, solid, pointed, round...oh man Rikudou needs some consistency.

It's Elgala's taste of clothing...

She slightly modifes it everytime, to make it a little more different each time, instead of the old same clothing...  :P

Sounds like something she'd actually do...
Anyways, i guess now i should get going with Il Palazzo, and Watanabe... those seem to be what's missing..!

I should just change Elgala's clothes every scene and see if anyone gets it.  Except I shouldn't cause that would mean more work.

[cough]Don't forget about the 3/4 views[/cough]

[MincyMatsu]

Ah yes, 3/4 views... need those as well...

Since i don't like doing half work, i will probably make those in full body shots, and not only heads...

Btw, i was bored today so i drew Il Palazzo in front views... with, and without armor...
---


what's needed, is him strecthing his arm out to one of the sides (like pointing out something, or whatever... you all know this typical pose)

And also rear views needs to be done...... and maybe 3/4... if necessary or not... might come in useful later, or for a possible second or third movie...

If anyone knows of an image of il Palazzon turning his back to you, please tell me in which volume, or give me a picture if possible... i'd preferably want to make it accurate, and not out of my mind...

The version of him, wearing the armor, has a better looking head imo... the other heds seems somewhat wide, or something... whatever is wrong, this os no big issue...

here are some pretty important notes:
It appears his armor changes form time to time... so i used a certain picture of him from Volume 1 of the manga, as a reference (The section in where excel got told he'd be gone in 3 days... or "72 hours" as he said it)

The version of him without the armor, i used the "introduction page" of Il Palazzo in Volume 1 as a reference...

Colors and such i guess you can get right be looking at all sorts of covers...

In the first quarter of Volume 15, it has a few good back shots without the armor and cape. If you need any scans, let me know. ^_^

Colors and such i guess you can get right be looking at all sorts of covers...

Don't forget to use our own gallery of pics for reference material as well. Not necessarily the fan art though for the sake of accuracy.

[MincyMatsu]

Thanks lord Il..!
Scan's aren't needed unless it really is not problem for you to do...

Afterall i have the book myself... it's just sort of annoying, and a little time consuming when i have to hold my hand over the page, so it doesn't always close...
So damn annoying :o Since i use both hands for drawing too...

[Lord Il]

^I can totally understand that.

And it's never a problem. If there's anything specific you want, just yell.

[MincyMatsu]

And so i do... may i YELL for a picture of il Palazzo from behind..?
With, and without armor if possible... :P

Thanks in advance...
And i hope there isn't anything wrong with my current version of il Palazzo..!

[Lord Il]

^Okay, check this out, Micki!

I started going through both my manga and Newtype magazines and realized something: I could probably find something easier with the included production art in the DVDs.

Not sure if we could do much better than this...





Although, you may want to note that in the manga, the Lord's coat goes halfways between his knees and feet and is cut in the back.
Maybe the shorter coat would look better for him in chibi form? O.o

[MincyMatsu]

Thanks
And i didn't really notice the coat was shorter in the manga...

I'll fix that later...

[Lord Il]

Actually, it's longer. :wink:

Quite a bit so too.

[Lord Il]

^Yeah, I just realized this after you mentioned it.

I believe that production sketch really does show extra armor. O.o
Or perhaps it's like a fastening device for the outer layer.

Interesting..
