[ I'ma Walk Like Nys ]
Created for `nyssi's avatar contest: meaning for her use only.


Been a while since I've submitted anything, eh? Seems like this shall be the first of a couple (one's to come for *redness and *ph0enix) before I get back to what I do "best" (an emote, and some pixelart).

So anyway, Nyssa is running an avatar contest for herself, which some pretty dandy prizes, so I thought 'what the hell' and played around to see what I could come up with. Initially, like most avatars, this was going to be way longer, with other stuff and the like, but there was no way known I could've fit it all in the 15kb size limit, so I simplified it to a relatively short looping sequence.

Like Coppin' a sycho, I decided to sprite-afy Nys, using her pictures Self Conversation and I Need A Job as reference shots for the face and clothes, with a couple of pointers Nys gave me on preferences (I stuck with the jeans, but the black top just wouldn't have worked. Besides, the red looks sexy :slow:)

Anyway, I'm rambling. If you can't tell, the animation goes as follows:

:bulletred: Nys is walking along, whistling to herself.
:bulletred: She notices something that might look cool, stops whistling and stops.
:bulletred: She grabs her camera, takes a quick snap, relishes the moment, then walks on.
:bulletred: Loop.

Now, that is a camera around her neck on some sort of cord. It's very roughly modelled around her current camera (a Canon Powershot A75) and I say roughly since my version is 5x6 pixels high. :giggle:

Hope you like it Nys, and great contest. Oh, and if you want anything modified, give me a bell. :)

:bulletred: `nyssi for answering my probing questions on what she likes to wear, and for her reference shots in her gallery.
:bulletred: =lady-maree for the idea of having the camera hung around her neck.
:bulletred: ~st0ven's website, SpriteArt.com, for some groovy sprite tutes.

Tom, did you sell your soul to the devil to get your talent?

fantastic expectations, amazing revelations.
:iconbudgieishere:
Does that include subconciously? :O

I'm quite sure I didn't. Maybe the bastard took it anyway :paranoid:

i love. she looks adorable. one thing though: in your description you say "relishes the moment, then walks on." maybe just have the frame of her standing still stays just a little longer. to show that she is happy with the pic she took.

blink twice if that made sense. three times if you think i have no idea what i'm talking about.

I might just do that, cause it seems to go a little too quick once I've submitted it. It shouldn't add anything to the filesize easier, so it's win win. :slow:
