Just thought I'd post the WIP of the Frame-by-frame Fio animation.
I'd animate hair (front) and the breasts after the rest of the animation/stages are done since it would all be based on the way the body is moving. I'll also make adjustments to how the limbs are moving so it isn't just going back and fourth. (right now it's just a forward movement that goes backgwards at the end)
Also just for the heck of it, here's some stuff from a game idea I was thinking about over the past week. (Maybe I'll talk about the gameplay a little later.)
In the order that I drew them,
She grew boobs by the end....
Also, if you think this character looks like someone, you're probably about 1/5 right.
Ero Drill Dozer? Yes please.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I like the new character. Hope to see if that game ends up getting made. :3
ReplyDeleteDamn. Nice work with the simon?/drill-dozer-esque character sprite. Always amazing how you make it pop in the low-reso. I, for the life of me, can't seem to pick complimenting colours and shades like that.
ReplyDeleteTook me many years to finally be able to spell your name right in google
ReplyDeleteOne day man, I just hope to be as good as you; can't wrap my head around those style of sprites to save my life.
ReplyDeleteKlonoa, right?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm not really a fan of this new sprite, which is surprising, since I usually love your work. It really just looks like a loli-fied version of Klonoa. I'm squicked out for the loli, and for the furry. Double squicked!
Like I said, you're 1/5th of the way right.
DeleteKlonoa is definitely the first thing I thought when I saw this. Also think it looks really nice
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is, there's actually another character that has pink hair with white at the end. In my case, though, I just did it because the hair looked neat without the rest of the color filled in.
DeleteOne of the original Call designs for Mighty no. 9? :)
DeleteYup, you got it.
DeleteAfter I realized that it looked like her too, I didn't feel so bad about it bring similar to Klanoa -___-
It's sort of like..if it looks like one character by mistake, people will think you ripped it off. but if it looks like 5 different characters (there are others), it becomes clear that the traits are actually just kind of easy to come up with.
I think people here wouldn't mind even if you completely ripped off for example Shantae, but of course it's better if you use your own designs. (Those shorts and that top :3 Glad you gave her some boobs though :3)
DeleteI was I big fan of the Call who looked like a military call dispatcher, with the earphone. Call E. Too bad they picked the one the most traditional Roll-like. :/
DeleteMost character concepts (especially anime/manga) are very close to one another. It's especially true for any art medium that has a large popularity base.
DeleteCan you imagine if authors stopped writing crime novels because one or more ideas where used in previous stories?
How about a song?
Although there are a lot of different ways to make music, there are only a "few" chord progressions that sound good together. With the sheer popularity of music, and popular easy to use tools that are widely distributed, you are bound to get more than a couple of people with the same beats, progressions and parts of lyrics. What differentiates a song form the next can be very little sometimes.
Pretty much any idea will be based off an idea/concept that has already been, at the very least, thought up before.
What makes ideas different is that extra "spice" and the order you present them in.
The last line art reminds me a bit of Lucky Star ^_^
DeleteI like it, but in H-game I'd prefer something with more curves >_>
Really nice work!
ReplyDeleteThe bunny limbs are cute and all and I don't mind them as much as I would if they were taking up more bigger areas, but I don't know... For a main character. A character we gonna see a lot of, if hopefully this project goes through...
Bunny girl enemies or NPC with some scenes... Sure. But like... you completely signed of any possibility of foot fetish for the protagonist for example :D So, I guess, I don't mind it too much, but also not as little as not to say I wouldn't like it for a game that could grow for a long time and have all of its many gradually added scenes for a - as you say - 1/5 furry protagonist.
Looks a bit too young too, may be just the art style though.
Still, I love the outfit and the ear-hair-tails, though as I said, would prefer it to be just ears. You could have a bunny themed protagonist without her being 1/5 bunny :)
Just hair, not ears :D Last paragraph :D
DeleteNot sure about the furry parts :-/ But swap them out for some mining gloves and boots and it's golden for me. Especially the short shorts :)
ReplyDeleteWould her in-game sprite and scenes be this size, or would you cut away for H scenes the size of current weekly animations? I prefer the size of Noa's new sprite if that is not the case.
I prefer either the pink one or the orange one. The red and brown seem a bit boring to me, don't know why.
ReplyDeleteAlso not a fan of the furry parts of course, but do what you will, just my opinion. Keep ears or whatever, but please not those hands and feet...
Also, you fixed the boobs, but she could use her hips widened a bit. Shorts need an ass to be on to shine ^^
Thirded, bit of a waste of those hot pants. A bit too loli in general. Pretty character, certainly don't throw her away completely, but please reconsider :P
DeleteI endorse this message.
DeleteI have found my people :D
DeleteEveryone is just like: tits, tits, tits.... Probably never seen a good firm ass shake, or they'd be talking differently :D
I would be a fan of this in a non porn game. But unlike most of the group above, I am a fan of furry ;^;
ReplyDeleteI, on the other hand, would be a fan of it in a non porn game but here I don't like it because I'm not a furry. Funny :-)
DeleteKawaii bunny gal is kawaii :3
ReplyDeleteHave one of the enemies be monstrous bunnies so they can... well like bunnies do :3
I like the ears, but I also agree the limbs may be a bit too much for some people...
How about a human heroine rescues this one from breedin in a burrow at the start of the game? >:)
DeleteMaybe bunny boots could be a powerup that lets you jump higher. But swapping cute little human feet for those things? Please no.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like a loli sidekick than a main protagonist to me. Also, why do you hide so much of her face? Your facial expressions are the best!
ReplyDeleteI love the drill and the clothes. They just need a bigger girl. Like something from the last update.
Sorry if I sound too harsh. Just trying to help.
... and I endorse this message too.
DeleteYay, Fio. I see you went for dem tentacles. Yes! ^__^ Don't show more until she's finished.
ReplyDeleteConcerning the new character, I believe everything I think has already been said.
I don't care what you make, as long as you keep posting. Everything you've touched has turned to gold in my eyes. I have a feeling you're like some kind of dragon on top of your hoard, parceling out only the littlest bits at a time, while the rest remains never to be seen.
ReplyDeleteI like rabbits more than most (just see my alias) but yes, please, keep the heroine human. Well, maybe animal ears would be OK since I like cat ears and elf ears... Leaving it up to you boss.
ReplyDeleteTo add, I like the head on the first sketch much more.
DeleteJust saying that I feel there's a lot of news about other stuff and no news about Noaika. I know you're still working on it and all but my hopes are running on fumes right now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like the new small-breasted girl. I would pay a patreon to have a weekly game update with her.
Keep up the good work and take care.
Her design is so good I almost feel bad for saying I'm with the majority on this one. :( She'd make for a cool sidekick as somebody else said.
ReplyDeleteNo-one is saying the design looks bad per se. Well no one was that dumb yet...
DeleteOh, I was hoping you'd try the slime quicksand suggestion for Fio, but then maybe I'd rather see it as a trap in this new game. ^_^
ReplyDeleteCute char, can't wait for gameplay ideas ^^
ReplyDeletereminds me a bit of the taguel from FE Awakening
ReplyDeleteLove the character, and would love them as a protagonist. No reason the main character has to be a generic human. The fact that she wields a drill is definitely to my liking.
ReplyDeleteSay that to millions of human characters I certainly would not call "generic". I love her too, but sorry, as a human I like the main girl in H games to be human.
DeleteYeah, but I mean, that's their point. There is already a ludicrously large amount of content catering to that. What's wrong with shaking things up?
DeleteNo lines at all? Won't it blend together?
ReplyDeleteBunny girl reminds me of Panne from FE Awakening. I wouldn't mind her looking more like Severa. :)
Ever played Steamworld Dig? :)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't the rabbit paws be something she can summon for combat, but is not the default? Unfortunately, the fur is a huge turn off for me. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI wan't to ask a question. What categories do you stay clear of when you create hentai and such? I mean in terms of sexual content.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, that was anything illegal, gore, vore (vithout anything sexual) and anything with peeing and pooping :P Forgetting anything?
DeleteForgot gender bending.
DeleteOne question: Once you're finished with Noaika, will you split yor time between this game and your next normal game 50/50? I think the game we are witnessing being born would deserve that. =)
ReplyDeleteD'aw, would have been a nice change of pace to have a DFC character!
ReplyDeleteSeconded, but not for the main character :/ I don't think centering the main character around specific fetishes is a good idea. :/
DeleteAfter reading the discussion above, I have to agree with several points made. She looks less like the main character for an H game and more like some prime H game sidekick material. She could have plenty of scenes, without the game being bound to a completely flat character for all of its scenes.
Since I'm already writing this post and don't want to write another, I'm also in favor of hewmin wimminz for the player character :) The paws are not too bad, but I do like her first design best. What about making the main character look more like that? :3
@BigTotoro: Why not this design, just with normal hands and feet, older and curvier?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteFirstly, because as I said agreeing with the original guy, I'd like some scenes with a girl with a smaller chest (without the main character getting breast reduction) and I like her design.
DeleteSecondly, because I find her hair a bit too .... .... .... well, "cartoony" Especially the fluff star hiding her cute face. I find the first attempt more elegant, is all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OK...
DeleteYeah, I mean, what's the problem with a DFC/loli character? There's already thousands upon thousands and thousands of 'vanilla' content out there. I wouldn't even mind seeing her as the main character of a game, personally. People need to loosen up and be a bit more open minded. He already made a game centered around a shota.
DeleteStill hoping for some (sex)slave elements in the game TT___TT
ReplyDeletePreach it brother! >_>
DeleteHello Kyrieru. Not sure if anyone asked this. Can you tell us who is going to be the extra animation?
ReplyDelete(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ SOOOO CUUUUUTE !!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna hug her and take her home with me !!!!
*drill to the head*
Love the new character. Just seeing her makes me want to make her run around and hit stuff with those fierce claws and dexterous feet. Do I want to fap to her? I don't see why not. She has more character and attitude then most H-Game protagonists, which would make the scenes sexy, and maybe making her more typical would take away from that. Also, it depends on the content of the game. That drill looks like a phallic metaphour, so maybe there is a lesbian theme!
ReplyDeleteHey kyrieru, I was looking for your Patreon but there's no link in your frontpage. Maybe you should add a link to the sidebar so you can bring more people to it
ReplyDeleteI wont be adding links until I'm doing something consistently again.
DeleteI am all for the initial loli design. We all need to embrace the inner lolicon within us all :). I also like the later rabbit designs, it gives the character, as mentioned above, more character than say, the initial Noaika sprite, which are around the same size.
ReplyDeleteSince the sprites have rabbit hands and lack a drill, does that mean that you scrapped that idea Kyrieru? If so that's quite dissapointing. I haven't seen of played any h-game that had the protagonist using a drill, and it could be pretty "interesting". (Read:masturbating)
And is one of those five characters a mimiga perhaps?
tell the inner lolicon bs to you local police ffs. see how they like it.
DeleteSo wait, it's fantasy when you have violence, rape, murder, etc. in a game, but reality the moment loli is introduced? Pretty interesting logic ya got there. How about just letting people enjoy things that don't hurt anyone without being an arse?
DeleteIf she looked a little older (18+) and didn't have paws i'd be all over that design
ReplyDeleteI am curios where you got the google's design. they made me remember the digimon anime's
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm odd for thinking first of ChuChu from Xenogears, but then... who knows, maybe that's one of the five.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what kind of story could go with a drill wielding heroine. :) Hope you could make the premise itself inherently sexual so even if she didn't go fighting rapist monsters, she'd still be in danger of unwanted sexy times :)
ReplyDeleteEmbrace the lolos.
ReplyDeleteWow, that character looks like something Cyberconnect2 would make... which isn't a bad thing at all lol
