Okay I'm busy with a lot of graphics for the server right now, so it would be nice if I could get some submissions to help me out. I have done the following 12 hairstyles below so far:
If you're wanting a specific hairstyle from an old Graal head, either make it to fit the template or just post the head number here and maybe someone else can make it for you. This is your chance to get your old character's look in the new 2k1. Here is the template for hair:
Basically you want to draw over the head frames and then erase the blue head when finished. The frames are in this sequence: facing down, facing up, left, right, pulling up, pulling left, pulling right, dead
I've removed some frames from the head/hair template as they seemed frivolous and hard to even notice. These are: hurt frames, pushing frames, pulling down) Thus you can pretty much make a hairstyle in 3 frames (up, down, side) However you may need to make adjustments for each side view, as well as adjustments for long hair to fall correctly from the pulling/dead views.
Each hairstyle is using the following color pallete to provide consistency.
You need to only make one color for your hairstyle and I'll do the rest.
Here are the things you CANNOT do with your hairstyle:
- include a hat/headband/head accessory
- cover the entire face
Each hairstyle uses at least 2 shades from each color row. Most use 3 and some may use 4 or more.
If you have any further questions please let me know. Any submissions can just be submitted through this thread.
edit: Also there has been some confusion about what exactly you need to make. You're only needing to make the hair, not the head/face/anything else. Only the hair image should be in the sprite sheet when finished.
Here is one example of the hairstyle... you work around the ear and face outline so that when the hair is layered over the head, it shows correctly:
