The arms are due to change. They’ll be be slimmer if it doesn’t make the gloves look rediculous. There will also be plates on the upper arms (which ought to help bulk them out again). The gloves will stay the same but with plates on the backs. The breastplate will be completely reworked to more closely resemble the artwork. All the armour plates will probably be transformed into hard boiled leather (if I’m feeling really confidant). She’ll get baggy trousers similar to the Arbalest’s but less baggy (and not slashed). While I’d like to keep Moirgane’s hair I’m also planning on pulling her hood back up in most of the combat sprites. The hood would be raised but with hair spilling out.
The colour scheme I’m aiming for is more grey green and less blue grey. Kind of like one of the darker colour sets for the Bounty Hunter. Ideally there’d be 4 skins but that’s probably too ambitious for now. Skin 1 would be the grey green outfit with white hair, set 2 would be more blue grey with white hair, set 3 would be in muted browns (probably with light brown hair) and set 4 would also be in quite shadowy tones and probably black haired. Perhaps the fourth one would have a darker skin tone. I’m thinking a kind of olive tan.
Here’s a couple of quick pics of roughly what I’m aiming for with the hair and hood combo. The second one worked so well I think I’ll keep it as a work in progress. There’s even the original leper sprite underneath all those layer (the shadow is the original). Again I can take very little credit for this as it’s mostly just cobbling together other people’s work to see what fits. Actually some of the work on the sword is my own as I had to remove the shadow of the crusader’s head from his idle/walking animation’s sword & shorten the blade & the leather bit at it’s base. I really need to start trying to make it look more like the Twilight Sword but for now I’ll settle for trying to get my hybrid sword onto all the leper’s sprites. The hair, hood and face too. After that I’ll start on other details.
