Description
So I got my Sparkster model textured. Had a lot of fun updating his look a tad. Drew inspiration (and used 'em for reference) for the armor from the White Knight in White Knight Chronicles and also the enemies in Sonic & the Black Knight. Also drew inspiration for Sparkster's sword from that game. However, the colors remain true to Sparkster's 16-bit roots, and while they're colorful, they're darker than the original sprite. There's a nicer contrast going on - he looks fancier. Also, he looks more balanced (blue and orange are Mets colors!). Now that the armor looks like armor, and the detail's there but the color remains, I'm calling the texture done.

I really like the model, and I really like the texture. Time for skinning him for animation!

Oh, and the green mask over the untextured comparison model? That's the model for the fur shell. He still needs the fur and also a spec map for the armor. But the Diffuse map is done.
