RPGWW... IN SPACE!!!!
The recent What-If Comic Panel I did... about "RPGWW IN SPACE," got my skull full of mush churning on what it'd really/possibly be like if RPGWW were instead set in a sci-fi setting. Same characters, relatively the same personalities, just with the environment and theme changed.
Course, having gotten back into "sprite editing" as well... you know I JUST HAD to make some sprites for this idea.
The approach I'm taking is that; like how RPGWW in it's current form has been inspired by various fantasy/medieval/sword and sorcery animes, games, movies, manga, etc., the stuff from RPGWW (IN SPACE) would be instead based upon various sci-fi mediums.
Here's what I got so far. Not even close to being done with the amount of characters I wanna muck around with.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE ARE JUST MY TAKES ON IDEAS/CONCEPTS THAT CAME TO ME WHILE THINKING THIS UP.
Some of these, not all, are obviously based off of popular cinema, games, movies, tv, etc.
-The Characters Above (in order)-
-Queen Aya and her sister, Ara-
-Aya here, in her royal garbs. A warrior woman (dragongirl) having to sit in a position that... really wasn't made for her type. But never underestimate her.
-Ara, her "sister," was influenced by the character Emeraldas from the Captain Harlock Animes. While Aya's being held down and stiffled by her role as Queen, Ara is a more free-spirit type, out going and adventurous. >_>
-Daniel Hyral-
-Just a matter of changing his armor into something a bit more... science-fiction-y.
-G3RLD-
-While I could've kept him a Ghost, it was just too tempting to remake FFFanatic's Gerald into a robot. This one just came out of nowhere while I had the sheet up on the screen.
-Vaniyakna-
-Only real dictator type in RPGWW, so it only made sense, to me, to remake Vaniyakna in a "Ming the Merciless" mold. Was going to mix both Ming & Vader looks... but just wouldn't work. e_e
I like how this turned out though with his robes and whatnot. Specially given the ONE sprite he has.
-Ash Fanrico-
-This was quite possibly the most easiest character idea to come up with... BUT a bitch to create sprite-wise.
"Regular Ash" was inspired by various types of swordsmen and heroes. King Arthur, Cloud, Zorro, Captain America, etc. So it'd only make sense, character and story-wise, to base his Sci-Fi counterpart on classic heroes of that genre as well. Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, etc. Specially Buck, as he too was trapped in suspended animation and awoke in a world that was not his own. *ooh... dramatic*
Only problem was... getting it just right with the sprite appearance. How'd it turn out?
-Orks-
-Nother easy one. Just took some influence from Warhammer 40k.
-Captain Pervy-
-This was fun to do. Just took Pervy and based his appearance on Captain Harlock. Pirate into Space Pirate. See how easy? :P
And now Ushyuu is finally in a world/setting that fits. >:P (*j/k*)
-Soldiers-
-Had to include some soldiers/guards/military-types.
-First one is a soldier of the Doman Republic. (who looks suspiciously like Rube no? O.o)
-Second one is a soldier of the Barius Empire.

Yeah yeah... some stories/ideas are probably pretty lame. e_e Got more on the way though. ^^
