[Character] Phantasy Star Online FOnewearl (Rupika)

[leilei]

PSO turns 20 later this year, so I figured I'd make something to celebrate a little early.

I've tried to make the clothes and hair take 3 different parts of the green ramp for taking advantage of the two/three-toned color palettes.
Preferred color is pastel (closest to the original color scheme available).


Tools used:
- Paint Shop Pro 5 for pixel pushing
- Cool Edit for sound copy pasting, amplifying, echofying
- Kartmaker for assembling lumps
- SLADE for correcting lumps

Credits:
- fickleheart for Kartmaker
- SEGA / SONIC TEAM for PHANTASY STAR ONLINE and PHANTASY STAR ONLINE EPISODE III: C.A.R.D. REVOLUTION

Damn my dude, that's a lot of effort on that character you made!

This is awesome! I always hoped PSO might get a representative in Kart. Couldn't be happier. Well done!

Good work!

Thanks all!

I did have a model made already, but I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to post that since it's directly derived from one of the Kart MD3s' karts (with my creative work modeled and animated on them).

I'd show a screenshot but the head still needs lots of revision. I did have fun making something imitating the Saturn-esque Sonic Jam/Sonic R looks, sticking to the strict gradient square UVs and painting unshaded texture detail over them. No PSO model ripping involved here.

Also there's no modular way to add model definitions through a wad without editing the .dat as far as I can tell?
