Nami from One Piece *Contribution*

[Blargh]

i think what he ment to say was: use the limbs he gave you, and turn them into 'nami parts'. then you can easily put a good, proportional nami together

Thx for trying to tranlate lol but I dont think anyone has read the first post... I DONT HAVE A WAY TO OPEN THE .FLA FILES MUCH LESS USE THEM so yeah I can use the originals I had to cut-draw them...

Anyways here is the fix for the picky people that said she was supposed be slender taller and bootylicious ( I reduced the outlines a lot much more like anime, really reworked some pieces like the torso, Also I tried changing her face to something that resembled her even more but I couldnt find anything...)

Actually, the image I put up is a PNG file. I figure that if you were able to match up the parts before from what you were able to dig out from other stuff, you should be able to modify those components for what you want the Nami parts to be like without having to build an entirely new figure. If you can put those parts up, separated, then I could import them into Flash and put together a MiM model for Nami from those. The reason for my template picture above is, as rooiehaan noted, so that the parts you draw would be proportional to the parts in the MiM template.

So to summarize, the list of parts I can see that are needed for a Nami template are:
- Head (both front-facing and side-facing, mainly just the head base with the hair on top)
- Eye (optionally, this could be put on the head part as well)
- Upper arm (or just the tattoo)
- Shirt (separate from the body and separated into two parts):
--- Bra (the part of the shirt that cups her boobs)
--- Vest (the part of the shirt that hangs on her body)
- Skirt
- Boots (preferrably on feet, but I can work with them separated)

All of the other parts can be taken from the existing MiM parts. Finally, I need the parts to be separated so that I can cut up the picture and import smaller graphics into Flash. It really doesn't like converting big pictures, so smaller ones are more likely to survive the Trace Bitmap process mostly intact.

Oh yeah, for what you've been able to build here without an FLA, it really does look good. I just personally would prefer to see the flare at the bottom of her shirt removed so that the hem hugs her body tightly. >_>

Ok Blargh thanks a lot! I'm gonna try and make those parts for a really easy small template... BUT I need to know the thing with the Vest And Bra, In the first version I made they're there I dont know what's wrong with them... also Do I need to make the back of the hair Like in the peach model or put it together with both side facing and neutral base head? if you download the file all the parts I made are there in layers so they're easy to work with if not, in which format do I export it for you?

Any part of the shirt that hangs down below her boobs will not animate well when it's bouncing around. I was mistaking that part of the upper shirt as the same as the lower shirt before, but it still stands that anything more than the bra doesn't bounce right.
The hair can be attached to the head (both directions). Makes it easier for me to fit the parts together if its already done. >_> There's no ponytail, so there's no need for a separate part there.
And now that you mention it, the PSD file worked awesome for importing. So much easier than what I was planning. ^^

And just because, I added all of the main parts that make up Peach below if you wanted to make a new character. The sizes on the thigh and jaw really are that exaggerated in the FLA, and adding new costume or designs to them need to be done at that size, unfortunately. They just get resized down to make the template on the right when they're used in a movie clip.

Well thank you Zelos I feel the same way... thanks to all the "support" and criticism (not any constructive ones tbh) I'm gonna try editing this model, to make things more resembling to nami I might change the models and make completely new ones (not reworks) also I'm gonna try to do some editing to the face and maybe on the same update include the Nico Robin model...

No worries, its just that alot of us are in the same boat. So discouraging one of us makes us all hesitant to contribute.
Blargh's post on the other hand is exactly the type of help new members need. Anyway don't feel discouraged seeing your work is really quite motivating.
I have photoshop 7 and image ready, so maybe once your work is complete i can contribute to the community in which the same method you did.

Ummm ok thx Blargh Im gonna attach the hair to the heads now then, remake the bra and vest and do a tiny bit of rework on something but mainly that imma post it on psd and i'll pm you for when its ready!

well the two thing that doesn't look right to me is the eye's and the boobs. both are way too big

[FuzzFace]

In the anime world, it’s pretty normal to have boobs twice the size of your head

[ShadeFire]

I'm happy that there is now a third (fourth?) awesome human model on these forums!

Krystal may be good and all, but sometimes there is no substitute for the real thing. I can also say "WOW" to your reworked torso. It seems more real than any other that I have seen. (It also helps she has huge tits and is tall.)

I anxiously await this to be finished; then I can borrow it from Blarg's MiM remake for "personal" purposes.
