Okay, here's another sprite I'm having troubles with. it's the Goronade item from
OoA.
Again, keeping in mind what the point of this project is, I'm trying to make a MC-styled sprite to fit this item (Original is #1). To me, it doesn't seem that much of a stretch to see that this sprite is in the shape of a bottle (#2), so I figure a bottle as the base sprite is the right way to go (#3). The three issues are as follows:
- Firstly, the sprite looks quite ornate, with those leaf-like coverings on the bottle (reproduced in #4). The question here is whether or not to add those embellishments.
- Secondly, the nature of the object itself presents a problem. The Goronade is a sports drink, so I figue it has to look like one, which is why I might need to add a cap common to most sports drinks (#5 with embellishments, #6 without). Again, would it be better with or without a cap?
- Lastly, the color. I know that the sprite shows it to be blue, but using blue for the color of the liquid inside doesn't look right. Then again, it doesn't seem like ANY palette looks right. Well, I'd prefer the green liquid because it looks the most like a sports-drink color, but I'm putting it up for discussion.
Please help! This is, like, the last thing that I need in order to get the
Oracle sprite sheet done!
