My Flashes (Excel Saga!: Remnants posted!)

I guess you're refering to the shoulderpads on his regular clothing...
I too think it's additional armor, on which the outer armor is attached to...

Anyways, the changes will be a longer coat, and a slightly modified insdie-armor clothing... based on this picture...

I forgot the extra material on the DVD's had this stuff...  8)

Kinda off topic for just a sec, but...

Oh my god... I just had an epiphany about the possible reasoning behind the armor on his shoulders!!

It's to offer himself a metaphoric protection from what he feels is carrying the weight, or more accurately, the fate, of the entire world on his shoulders. O_O

Wow.. O.o

[MincyMatsu]

So, if he's not wearing them (meaning his alter-personality comes into play) it means he doesn't care for the "Fate" but only the qonquest itself..?

Sort of makes sense, in a way...

Erhm, anyways, this is off topic so let's jump back on track... :o

ILPALA YAYZ0RZ!

Just as a size ref, Il Palazzo's about a head taller than Excel, right?

I might trace him in tonight (at least the cloaked version, since I don't need the capeless one yet).  Either that or I start working on the side views.  I also have to go back and give all the plain clothed models better upper arms.  The way I have it now, the upper part of the upper arm tapers off in a weird way.  All I have to do is re-draw them as more cylindrical shapes like the lower arm.  This won't effect the Across versions since they have those ever useful shoulder pads anyways.

wow this has sortof turned into the Ilpalazzo fan thread  :exhail: HAIL ILPALAZZO

I'm announcing I'm gonna try the voice again when I have time. My illness has gone and my voice is back to normal. I can't do recording at this time as I can't get on the pc (I like Laptops  :exhail: )

[MincyMatsu]

I just made Il Palazzo's rear view, and a version of him with the arm stretched out...



As for his arm stretching out, I made this in MS Paint... It shows the animation that i thought could be used for his erm stretching... To make the animation look as smooth as possible



Orange circle indicates his arm going through his armor...
I've noticed from a side view picture once, that his armor has a "hole" just there, for his arm i guess...
So there's nothing wrong or anything, this can be done for the flash version too

Also, the orange arm shows how it's bend when he's about to stretch the arm...

Red shows what the cape will look like in the middle of this animation...

Blue arrow shows that the Cape will flip to the back side of his armor...
The black mini-cape will also appear at his back... maybe a little bit of it will still appear at the front... depends on what looks best...

[I'M Eh-chan!]

Awesome, I'll FBF (frame-by-frame) that then.  I'll definately try to get a trace of him in tonight.

[MincyMatsu]

Cool... i'm looking forward to it then...

You may want to look for other references still, where his arm is stretched out...

I didn't use any, so what we have here, is completely out of my mind... might look somewhat different in the Manga/Anime... i know i should have looked for a reference myself :o

And btw... is there anyone here who'd like to be added on MSN..?
Would be nice to have some from these forums on my list... i don't have many Excel Saga fans i can talk with there..!

[MincyMatsu]

Apologies for double posting...
Here's an enhanced version of Il Palazzo's rear and arm stretching to the side...

Actually, no shanges have been made to his rear, but i did change some of the cape's overlapping when he stretches out his arm

Very nice work, Micki! Can't wait to see what Eh-chan! does with it.

[MincyMatsu]

I'm looking forward to it as well...

He'll be needing the "1/3 views" of all characters though before being able to finish all animations (from all angels that is) :o I'll make those eventually...

Right now my next artwork is supposed to be Excel wearing some towel again though (on a normal A4 paper this time)... I begin to like her wearing that..!

So 1/3 views will have to wait... :Ecool:

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

this is getting more interesting the more it's coming along

[I'M Eh-chan!]

I just want to let everyone know that I won't really be able to work on this for a while.  I've got exams coming up pretty soon and a bunch of other school related stuff that comes first.

So there you have it.  I'll be able to resume heavy work again probably in the summer.

[MincyMatsu]

Then i got time to finish the remaining art i guess...
And maybe continue with the comic project too

Good luck with the exams btw

[I'M Eh-chan!]

I think it begins with a c...
