Um... I really wasn't expecting this. I kinda had an idea about posting some of this up here, but I really wasn't sure about it.

Thanks for posting it up, but I really can't take credit for all of it. The hair especially; that's just me cutting and pasting parts from two already existing hair styles.

The cape is the main thing I did entirely on my own, and I'm not fully happy with it. I like the default look for the cape, but some of the animations doesn't don't look quite right. I'm not sure if I got that down right.

As for naming... Online I'd just prefer to be called "Jaidyn Reiman." jrconway3 is just a username I use on some sites, I never actually call myself that.

Oh, and the elven ears. I didn't do those, either, I just cleaned them up. They were already in the XCF file, but completely out of alignment. I realigned them along with the big ears and the noses.

I'm not even sure if I want to use LPC sprites anymore. I think it'd be fine for me to use them, its just that, thinking it over, I'd rather have a darker gothic-steampunk feel to my game. I may use LPC sprites for a couple of trial projects, but I'm still debating if I'll use them for my main game I'm planning.

And no, the license doesn't bother me. I've been surfing the web and researching quite a bit and I believe Open Game Art's FAQ is wrong. A derivative is only created if you directly modify the work in question, not by using a work in something else. The LPC sprite modifications I made are derivatives, but if I wrote a game script and included LPC sprites in that, said game isn't a derivative of the LPC sprites and the code can be licensed separately from the sprites. Seems quite clear to me. ^^

EDIT: Actually, correction, the license does bother me a bit. One major aspect is I did want to create Mobile versions, which are incompatible with CC-BY-SA. And the license did bother me before I started doing a lot of research on the subject and came to the conclusion that licenses only apply to indivdiual things; I can have a closed source game that uses open source items. Or even license different aspects of a game differently, such as the code and imported items.

(Either way I wasn't planning on making a game that required purchase directly, but I was trying to come up with some other way of making at least a little bit off of it. Preferably not with in-app purchases but perhaps an optional subscription or something...)

Thanks. Sorry for a bit of a rant earlier. I think I will use LPC sprites for at least one game project. Depending on how it works I may use them again.

Of course that also means I'll be doing more updates later when I get the chance. ^^ The past few weeks I've been working on a different project, though, which will be free but its a Fire Emblem-inspired game and the sprites are based on the GBA Fire Emblem games; just a fun side project I was doing with my brother-in-law.

Dang, this was 9 years ago at this point? Well, I recently got reminded of this one lol.

I think the orc was probably also an alignment issue. While I was looking at that XCF, I did a bunch of various alignment fixes just to ensure everything was usable. The elven ears was one of those alignment issues I fixed.

I haven't done much sprite work in a long time, but recently I started doing LTTP sprites. Maybe I'll create LPC variants of new hairstyles I create for LTTP. LTTP sprites are way harder to do than LPC because LPC is so streamlined. No guarantees right now, though.

So I went back and double-checked, but I have confirmed now that all licenses are valid. I updated this to OGA-BY in 2022 but I didn't properly confirm all derivatives were updated to OGA-BY, but they were. So we're good with the licensing here!
