I think the problem with the skirt is the angle of the leg shadows- since her legs are at a convex(ish) angle in relation to her body (dunno how to explain this better), the shadows should be, too.

I whipped up a quickie skirt so you can see what I'm trying to illustrate;

The shape is not perfect, but hopefully, it'll help a little bit. The shading is awful, I know XD.

Here's a to-scale version, if you want to take it and build on the model. It's just the skirt, which you can edit to your heart's content. ^^

The sleeves look great, by the way. I hate drawing sleeves...

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 5:38 pm

i think i might be able to do this now.. but it might be a day or two before it gets done.. busy day tomorrow ;p

and as for the sleeves, they're not THAT hard ;p

im gonna hate doing the Male dress tho.. ugh... :s

new thread -> threading -> fork

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 5:01 pm

The female body paper doll might look better if the toneing was lowered to make them look less butch. Like what was done with Spark, that looks great. Right now, the girls look a little like they're bulging in the shorts if you know what I mean...

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 3:34 am

well, theyve not bothered me any ever, so im not gonna touch em... if anyone else wants to they can ;p

Tristan de Inés · Post by **Tristan de Inés** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 7:53 am

I'd vote in favor of nude female paperdolls.... ( o ) ( o )

(@_@)

Sorry... Origin put sex and nudity in there in the first place! I can't help it! They corrupted my innocent childhood...

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 12:33 pm

ooooookay.... ignoring that that last one was posted.. back on topic

female ants, as promised

touched up a bit to fit under armor/footwear

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 2:45 pm

and heres the shirtage

just the femme hoods and shoes before i move on to the male stuff now

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 4:10 pm

hoods

only shoes now.. then male stuff.. yay

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 5:11 am

recolored the spiked shield (current one had transparency for some reason o_O; ), as well as the proper shield back

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 7:37 am

this one better be obvious XD

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:15 am

shoes.. yay! male clothes next!

magic boomerang recolored to more closely match the in-game graphic.. i was bored

Post by **wjp** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:13 am

Spiked shield: whoops; probably my fault. Fixed now. Also added the on-back version.

Thanks for pointing it out

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:47 am

welcome

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 2:26 pm

the... urgh.... male dress

i re-used my female avatar costume skirt.. thats all ill say.. less said teh better.. its just plain disturbing.. ugh..

Post by **Dominus** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 2:49 pm

The arms of the orange one look kind of strange, especially the right one (fom our view). It doesn'T look like it's part of the dress.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 2:54 pm

i.. dont get what you mean.. its kinda hard to miss that its a completely different color...

Post by **Dominus** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 2:57 pm

I mean further up, the female dress looks like the right arm is part of the dress, in the male one it doesn't look like this for me. Also I'd prefer the full length dress and arms on the male one as well

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:07 pm

well im not gona do that.. the dresses were designed for female bodies.. not much larger male ones... this is the most you're gonna get out of me for male dresses... mainly cause the thought scares me

there.. i loosened the sleeves a bit.. better?

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:13 pm

only way id do a full length male dress is if i was ordered to.. and then id still wait till i had everythign else i wanted done...

Lost Iolo · Post by **Lost Iolo** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:14 pm

heres an idea why not make a special extra with the avatar in drag lol that would be pretty funny.

Lost Iolo · Post by **Lost Iolo** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:15 pm

or.. how about you make some of the female underdresses sexy.=x

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:19 pm

ok.. ill say it now.. i will not edit the base paperdolls as they are.. no nudity.. no lingere.. no skimpy swimsuits... etc... other people can, but not me

and large muscular guys in flowing dresses is right out

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:25 pm

realized i made some mistakes on the previous version of this one

Sissy Knox- not logged in :( · Tue Jun 21, 2005 4:09 pm

As an alternative, instead of a dress, one could make robes for the men...like mage's robes? Maybe a dealie with a hood (or a pointy hat XD). I'd imagine some people primarily like to have a magic-using Avatar, so it might be a nice alternative to armor.

Of course, I'm not *imploring* that this be done- it's just a suggestion if you dislike the idea of male dresses. Of course...a robe is a dress, really...but "robe" sounds marginally manlier (I guess...).

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 4:16 pm

maybe.. is always a chance i might

male shoes, as they only needed a tiny edit... and thankfully i wont have to do the hoods again either as they fit male heads too

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 4:20 pm

ok.. erase the "fit male heads too" bit.. upon closer inspection ill prolly have to redraw em some.. lol

SB-X · Post by **SB-X** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 1:49 am

The dresses I made for BG are already identical for male and female. I didn't see a problem with it. If you're a male avatar and want to wear a sparkly blue dress that's up to you, and you alone are responsible for the strange looks Lord British gives you.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 2:14 am

sorry, but thats not how I see it >.>

and they arent identical.. the male one is ever so slightly shorter

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 2:48 am

there.. i hope you weirdos are happy.. I sacrificed my artistic integrity jsut so you all can get yoru freaky jollies off in dressing your male avatars up in frilly dresses.. ugh..

ill have the blue one up in a bit...

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 2:53 am

there... im gonna go be sick now...

SB-X · Post by **SB-X** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 3:11 am

I think it just looks shorter cause his legs stand wider and stretch it up.

Post by **Dominus** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 4:13 am

Hey, if Ultima VIII had graphics for the male avatar wearing dresses with long sleeves and skirt, why not in Ultima VII?

AAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Well, anyways, great work so far....

I still have no idea on where to get and how to use your graphics though. Did I miss that part?
Please don't tell me I have to right-click 'em all in the thread, save with "Save as" and do some wicked Exult Studio import stuff...

No, that's my job

I'm too busy with work this week to get around to it, though. This weekend I'll import some more of Crysta's art into Exult.
