Yeah, ironically most well known characters have many thousands various pictures and can easily get a high quality pack after 1-3 days of unhurried work.

I might have an idea though, there is a game series called Senran Kagura. Here it is on gelbooru. It has quite a few very different characters, but at the same time not way too many pictures. I think it might be a good source of examples and will be a good rendered pack.

It's still a better bet to create 3D random characters, maybe themed. Unique once can also serve in that capacity as long as they are not too well known.

Yeah i agree.. problem is.. i cant do design.. meaning if i dont see it i cant create it lol.. for me random is so random i can even define what it could be.. ( thats why i was thinking on making all those unique girls so i get faces / clothing design ) then try to mix them or make variants.. ( that least i can do )

[lamoli]

As i wasnt sure on what to do next i tweaked her closer to original..





still need some work but a lil better..

Ok lets see if i can turn that http://ciripahn.deviantart.com/art/MMD-Senran-Kagura-269553607 ( for shapes and character sheets as reference ) into something better..
only game model dont do as most 3d modler for those games dont even care if its right.. they just have to look like is.. ( ex: Ugly Cassandra 3D model from Soulcalibur IV )

Omg, small neat numbers at the equipment screen turned into huge, unusable ones. That's not gonna work, Xela 

Also, we don't have item field for non magic skills. I created a weapon skill and tested it via add_be_spells. It works, but adds skill to spells.

I f*cking told you, a lot would break

Items will come after gui.

[DarkTl]

My eyes weren't ready for this nevertheless 

Even with add_be_spells field there is an issue. When you select not equipped item, gui shows which skills the item will give. But when you select already equipped item, it still shows that unequipping item will give this skill, while it should show that the skill will be lost.

Tried to tweak the reflect..





Shadow of reflect on or off

[DarkTl]

I think you should try thin oval reflections, like here http://img08.deviantart.net/5fc5/i/2010/209/e/a/selvaria_by_cika.jpg
Big round ones don't suit her eyes.

[lamoli]

And now i found this.. late but now i can improve my design.. even the right eyes..





now ill try to fit them into the texture template and see how it will end


But thats tweaking ill do 1 of the Senran Kagura fist..

Nice i found that there is more costumes types than the others.. you mind picking interesting ones ( only taking Senran Kagura now )

Umm, are you sure it's a correct link? I see a user profile with tons of DOA characters costumes, and DOA characters are extremely well known, so using their clothes is debatable.

i never said ill use em like this.. but i do not have that much clothing variant ( clothing model ) and of course i wont use em like that ill make modifications and other textures..
what i need now is clothing genre like a bunch of skirts/tops/shorts/pants/leggings for their shapes and look like this guy compiled like everything those char had there.. also if base model type do not change too much its faster to make the clothing ( so 5-6 main models with lots of clothing variants is what i need )

[lamoli]

For Senran Kagura there is a problem.. official profile pictures and 3D model from games have the arount 14-15yo looks while on gelbooru she looks older ( smaler eyes and mouth/nose/eyes placed differently on a larger face.. ) if im doing those i need to age them else i cant make the eyes..
