Yah!! Don't leave us!! :|


Plz forgive Tseng (my lost Brother!! )..he's just well...angsty(?)


You've worked so hard and everyone here appreciates it. One Turk (hater) wouldn't be a cause for you to let go of Team Avalanche!!!!

We must still bomb every single Sector from Shinra-NIX to make MOD-gar a great place for us!!!....

( Hows that for MOD-roach speech huh?  :-D)


MO-ve forward!!!..TEAM AValanche!!!!!!


don't ever give up!!!....* :cry:tears :oops:*
 
Ok I want to post a possible alternative to the much more work intensive process...

The first is unfiltered
The second is with a little smoothing
The third is with smoothing and a little contrast added to make the lines less gray
 
I cant tell the difference o.o, except the third one is a bit darker (his cheeks seem much redder than the original version... sephi shouldnt blush :P)

Anyhow, given we recently discovered these images, which are the full versions of what was used for the avatars... we may scrap my vectors and just use these.

That or I could start over, tracing these :P
 
Wow!..He like came from a comic book to anime in real time....

But I liked your "avante-garde" versions better Timu... Keep it up!

TEAM AVALANCHE FAN ( Marlene type )
 
The reason I brought this up, is I could save Timu a lot of trouble by cleaning these up en masse... while it would take him at least an hour if not more to do each avatar individually.

However, Young Cloud and Chocobo are missing from my avatar art files.
 
Crap!...It was Satoh's doing.. Stupid me..I thought it was Timu's..sorry man...

Nice rendering there by the way.. if ya could make the same Avante-grade feeling as Timu's works-of-art then I have no further objections.... :-D

Keep it up!You're doin great!... :wink:
 
Not that the words of one user who has contributed next to nothing will sway anyone's decision making but I personally think this is one of the most noticeable and cool mods out there and it would be a damn shame if it had to be seen short for something as petty as acedia.
 
I think we should be using the cropped original art... here is a nice comparison,

point being... mine sux :P
 
Woah!...rather I would say..wooahh..   It's not like he would mind..but at least I have the guts to put everything in perspective...And it was not even near Insulting or even anything related to it..  I even faced the fact that I created a misunderstanding and asked for his forgiveness...

I even praised his work because I'm so ashamed of my inability to contribute..but nevertheless the ones who will benefit this is of course the MODDERS out there who want to improve....including the ones who PLAY just for the sake of fandom and give respect to those who give this game a damn...(pardon the choice of words).

If you see this as criticsm. Its your opinion... as I remembered someone mentioned this to you.... "There's no helping you.."

Have a good day.

I think the ones you've done have there own charm though  :roll:
 
While I had planned on using these from the very start (but didn't as I couldn't find them) I do think the vectorized versions were interesting simply by the concept...

I figured the thread would agree that it'd be a waste not to use them...


I shall just say that Timu's vectors have a great deal more effort in them in comparison to my avatars which are literally just photos from an art book with a smart blur filter added to it...

Tmu you're works of art TRULY amazes me..But I noticed Tifa's nose became a bit straighter ( anime-ish )..if you compare it with the orig. you would notice a certain angle from the base of the nose up to the center making her look "Girly"...But as a fellow said...it certainly has its own charm...  :-D
 
the problem with mine is that for shape, i was working off a veeeeery low rez image, and it had many incorrect colors (dithering and whatnot). What i'm thinking is restarting, doing the same process except with these high quality images as a base. what think ye?
 
Do it !!!
For the lOve of the GAMe...Do it!!


(Kinda sounds kinky no? :-D)

I'm all for it... you should use the vectors you have now but change the colors and reshape them where needed.
