Kelvin Shadewing's Pixels

[Kelvin]

DDP was right; the single-piece neck looked way better. So, my new idea is instead of having prebuilt neck pieces that I'll have to fix the outlines and AA on anyway, I'm just gonna make a series of circles and stick them together when working on the pose. This way I can keep a consistent length and still do just about anything with it when I draw over them.

This sprite has given me an idea, though: a pixel-shaded extruded spline renderer that automatically outlines and adds single-color anti-aliasing based on a given palette, with the fill being based on a color pattern. Such a thing wouldn't be able to be made by me for quite some time, but it's definitely an idea I'm going to be saving for the future. The reason why is because I think it'd be cool if a really long body part could be rendered in a game without having to draw tons of frames or break it up into chunks or balls the way some games do, especially for a long tail like Tartii's.

BTW, the mane is supposed to go all the way down to the tail, but I'll get on that later. I'm going to be breaking that into 3 parts, one for the head, one for the neck, and one for the torso.
