Description
I thought it is time to revisit some of my unsatisfied works, and Captain Commando is one of them.Recently I change by work station setup from Photoshop + mouse to Aseprite + Wacom pen & tablet.
Surprisingly, it makes a dramatic difference.
Aseprite is designed for pixel drawing (very easy to create animation too) and using an Wacom pen feel much natural than mouse, allowing me to apply my drawing skill directly to the computer screen.
Over the years, I learn how to do shading for pixel drawing too.
Now the new characters feel much solid with anime look-and-feel.
I am pretty happy with the improvement.
What do you think?

Thank you, haven't talk to you quite some time, how's things going?
After using Wacom pen and tablet to draw, it made significant different.
You may want to try it too.

I'm upgrading my computer for a while
You know that old comp can't handle new updates anymore
so I buy the better one and I knew i should buy some wacom pen too
but I forgot it 
Your recent work is amazing bro
I'm trying to draw with limitations now
such as limited color palettes, and limited pixel size
actually it pretty fun for me nowΒ

actually, i do feel smaller size is much harder than large size, but easier for animation since less to draw.
But, yeah, definitely recommend to get a wacom pen and tablet. It made a different for me.

Yep thats right bro, is not easy being simple
the depth of the object with limited color n size is a hell
just for info

I am using the Intuos Art, not very expensive.

But I might want to get theΒ Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 this year because it has screen.
Wait... actually Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is at the same price range, it is not a back choice too.
It's a computer with pen and screen, lol.

I feel like both are really good. Both past and present has their own unique style to it!

Thank you.
I personally like the new version that feels like a character.
The gradient in the old version makes them look like metal statues.

Yeah the older ones seem to have more shade while the newer ones are bigger in size and new in design so it's like, pick your favorite! I couldn't decide on simply one, both versions look great!

I think these look amazing and you should consider making characters for River City Ransom Underground especially considering they gave people a sheet to use to create characters for when they allow mods in the game.

Thank you.
Wow, I guess the game is quite popular and success that I have many comment regarding making sprites for the game.
I should look into the mod tool and see how that works.
Just curious, does people prefer original character or character from existing games?

I can't speak for others, but I'll assume they want characters from existing games. as for me? I love original characters I'm even considering finding someone to put my own original character in the game if possible.
as for the mod tool here's a link to the developer's tweet with the tool:

Great, it looks like people can do almost anything they want.
Looking at the wrestling guy doing combo to Abobo is amazing.

I wish I know how to program.
Thanks for your feedback to my question.
Fan game sometimes is quite troublesome.

Indeed it really has me excited for the future of the game once mods are enabled, but now seems like a good time to get started on mods to have them ready to put on Steam Workshop should they choose that route for enabling mods.
Luckily with this mod you don't need to know programming, but I agree with you I would love to be able to make a game of this caliber on my own.
Glad I could be of help and I look forward to more of your uploads in the future you've got a +watcher in me.

"Β people prefer original character or character from existing games?"
I personally prefer existing characters. I would totally love to see Captain Commando and the rest in the game. Your KOF sprites are perfect for RCRU.

Thanks for you feedback.
Fan art vs original is a big topic huh.
To me, I always try to create original character, but it is not easy, lol.

They look fantastic! Oh, I bet you've been asked this dozens of times by now, but, are you going to try and do custom character mods for River City Ransom Underground once the mod tools are out? I'd love to see your work up there~

Thank you.
I hear about the game too but haven't had a chance to try it yet.
How does the mod tool work?
It can be quite difficult to non-programmer, like me.

If you want, I could invite you to a River City Ransom Underground Discord where we've discussed the possibility! There's also worth checking the twitter for the game... I'd love to see your stuff up there. We already have a spriter or two working on stuff!

Thank you for your invite, but I am so busy with my full-time job and freelance works, don't think I will have much time to contribute to the group. I will wait for the mod tool release and see how it works.

That's okay, man. Please think about it once the mod tools come out!
