Chimoru R Kit

[Hexann]

Soran, you have my permission to use anything in here. 

[Onepu the Protector]

I love the shapes and details of this sprite kit and I'd like to use it in my comic series but I extremely dislike sixshade kits and it doesn't feature all the species I need. Would you mind if I modified it to be twoshade and used it alongside original Chimoru Omega sprites?

Thanks.

Do whatever you like with the kit. Whether you want it 6 shade, 10 shade or even 1 shade, doesn't particularly matter to me. You'll have to modify it yourself however.

 

 

Currently working on the Turaga. Hopefully I will be able to update soon. Stay tuned.

Well, I'm not quite finished yet! Since Majhost is down, Terton's 2015 Masks are missing for now, but I thought I'd give it my own try, just to see how I could do. I always thought his were a little big, since the masks, to scale, are actually smaller than most G1 masks. I tried to simplify mine and make them fit that scale. What do you think?

 

 

I will admit, his Pakari turned out much better than mine, as I recall, so I didn't bother including mine.

 

 

 

I kinda like yours more than Tertons.

 

I'm not saying his are bad or anything, he did a great job with his but I think they are a bit too big and yours seems to be the right size.

 

I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Eh, I don't particularly like mine either so no offence taken.

I really like this, I think I am going to start using it for my comics now!    !!! gives like  !!!

 

Edit: Could you make a kanohi Kualsi (mask of teleportation)? I am switching over to this kit and need one for a main character in my comics.

Time to add another person to my long credits.  But at least this should help my season 2 look at lot better! 

[Lemony Lepid]

Although you probably won't use any of my stuff, do what you want with it. It's mostly junk.

[Mekrani]

Hi, I've started working on Piraka body and heads.

 

Shading isn't quite right, maybe someone would be able to fix it.

 

Edit: I tried to improve the shading. The new body is the one on the right.

 

The head in this version is Mekrani, a prototype for Avak's set.

 

Opinions?

 

I'm going to make two versions - One based mainly on set and Chimoru R Toa, and another one based on my "Chimoru" kit.

Oooh, I like it. That chest armor is really cool, and I like that you scaled up the armor a bit. It seems to fit perfectly into the kit while also giving it a very evil look. I can't wait to see what else you do with it.

[Mekrani]

I'm glad you like it

 

I made a small update - Made the body a little smaller and added a spine.

Good gosh, That thing is MONSTROUS!

O_0. That's....THAT'S PERFECT! I felt like my six-year old self who was obsessed with Skakdi again! I'm definitely using that! Firstly, I like the way you incorporated the original set Skakdi torso and used it on a slightly enlarged Toa body, that works perfectly and gives it the Bionicle-Movie look that Chimoru R displays. Secondly, good call on making it slightly smaller considering that'll make it appear more accurate when we add limbs and stuff(which are also going to need to be slightly larger than the Toa limbs.). Thirdly, I'm in accordance with the previous comments; it looks freakin' monstrous. Perfect for what I'm going for in my future comic series.

 

I wish I could help, but my lack of computer is keeping me from doing so. I wish you luck with whatever you do happen to do with this in the future!

[JacobLazer]

I'm glad you like it

Wow.  That is pure epicness.  I especially love the chest armor, its just  like "RAAAR I'm a Skakdi!"

[Mekrani]

The main Skakdi body is finished!

 

To-do:

• All Piraka faces and spines
• Vezon
• Poses
• 360 degree view.

The armor on arms and legs was added, because without it characters could look pretty ridiculous.

 

There are no arm-spikes coming out of spine, because it was looking pretty bad and was way too hard to make.

Edited March 4, 2015 by Mekrani

[Lemony Lepid]

Wow.... That is beautiful.  Absolutely amazing spritework. I can't wait for the other foot variant.

[Specter Knight]

Man, That Piraka is awesome! I'm totally gonna use that for my comics when I get around to it.

 

...Now we play the waiting game for the Spritesheet.

[Click]

The legs look a little odd to me. Maybe they need to be longer... or thicker, or maybe the pose just looks off. I think the knees are bent too much. He looks imbalanced for the basic standing pose.

[JacobLazer]

Like how you made two different arms!

This definitely is very, very impressive. It looks great! I look forward to how you progress through the rest of it.

 

 

Status update on the kit

 

So upon creating the turaga sprite sheet, which isn't finished yet, I came across the fact that I have severely messed up on the colors of the sprite sheets, to the point where I'm surprised you guys even use it. I'm also surprised it hasn't been brought up yet. I'll be releasing an update to the kit soon correcting the colors and possibly fixing up the front page with some fan creations you guys have made.

 

The Turaga sheet I'm working on still needs the 360 and walk cycle but otherwise I've practically created the whole thing up to a certain point. Stay tuned.

What do you mean the colors are messed up?

[Lemony Lepid]

Ya'mean the red screw up?

 Or the the toa glitch?

[Onepu the Protector]

And while we're at it...

• Mata Blue looks way too dark. I know it's supposed to be darker and more purplish than Dark Azure, but it should never be that dark.
• Medium Blue should be paler and more bluish.
• Metru Red, Metru Brown, tan, light grey and purple don't have enough contrast between each shade.

As for the masks:

• Pakari would look better if the mouth was moved one pixel up.
• I know it's because of the 3/4 view but Noble Huna's eye-holes look a bit uneven.
• Most of the Toa Mahri Kanohi look fine as they are in original Chimoru Omega and I'm surprised the only one you have used in your sprite kit is Faxon.
• Miru Mata, Hau Mistika, Noble Komau and Ruru Metru have some unnecessary pixels here and there. The picture is from a great tutorial about pixel art and I think you should take a look at it.

Chimoru R is still a great kit and I hope my criticism won't offend you.

[Logan Tec]

When i do recolor them in gimp I find that a few have repeats but when that happens i just go around it and find the color on the sprite then recolor it that way

[PhoenixFireBlaze]

Can I be linked to the 2015 masks that was made a while back?. Whenever I try to click the image it says image isn't found.

Terton reuploaded them here.

Guess who just fixed his PC?  This guy.  It's still pretty ####y at the moment, however it'll just fine for spriting.  Just a matter of finding what to work on first.

Could you please work on the rahkshi? It would be useful for some artists who want to use them in their comics.

Hmmm, there might actually be a good time I can do that.  I just got a new PC and I'm moving so don't expect this any time soon, however my new house wont have internet for a week and I wont have anything else to do so I'll consider working on that.

[Arzaki]

Has anyone made spinnies for all the Inika masks yet? I need them for a... project, if you will.

Part of a Suletu

 

But that's all I recall.

[Onepu the Protector]

The Guurahk's Staff (or Pohatu's Dagger ) I made with help from my friend (Mekrani).

After a long break, I've gone back to drawing my Skakdi kit. 360 Body is finished, now I have to create all of the other sprites, walk cycle, spines and heads and another feet variant.

[Specter Knight]

So looking forward to using the Final product in my comics (Which I should really get working on ASAP!).

[Soran]

Nice work on the contributions guys. I'm especially looking forward to the completed skakdi, Mekrani. I really need to go through the topic and find them all and add like a Fan-submission section or something.

 

So, I've pushed this off long enough. I think I promised it 2 years ago but never really got around to finishing it… Until now.

 

Turaga Sprite Sheet (with robes)

I've also added the completed Kanohi Kiril (slight edits) by Click as well as the Completed Kualsi (Slight edits) by Damaracx.

 

Enjoy.

Aww... I've been bested. By the greatest of course, but bested none the less. Good show old boy, good form.

[Onepu the Protector]

I made the handle of the Guurahk's Staff a bit longer. There's also the Lerahk's Staff I've just made.

[Naota Takizawa]

Hey, Onepu, I like the look of the rahkshi staff ends, they're very accurate and I can't wait to see you the staffs of the remaining four rahkshi. 

[Click]

Well, I just went and sprited the other two Inika masks, the Elda and Kadin. Actually, they turned out a lot better than I thought they would.

 

 

Though this also makes me realize that my Iden and Suletu sprites are too small. No wonder they were such a pain to make.
