[LPC Expanded] Pants
Here we go… my final update of the year, just in time for the New Year! Its all Pants assets for the ULPC! I thought about trying to do skirts, too, but it was just too much.
I spent much of Christmas week working on getting these assets configured. I mostly started with the “Male” versions of LPC Revised assets seen here:
However, I started with just Pants because I was able to use Bluecarrot16’s work on Eliza’s “Overalls” as a starting point to create the pants. I already finished the full Overalls set for Male assets, so I just went ahead and trimmed down the overalls to create the Pants.
From there, though, I realized there actually weren’t THAT many pants assets, so it wasn’t too hard to go through and finish them. Also, there’s less effort needed for pants than other assets because I only need to create two versions: Male and Thin (Female / Teen) whereas shirts need both Female and Teen both.
As far as I can tell, I believe all these assets are available in OGA-BY 3.0. All the original Pants assets had OGA-BY 3.0 added to them retroactively (by Redshrike, Wulax, and Nilla122 respectively), while ElizaWy’s Pants were always OGA-BY 3.0.
Here’s the complete list of assets included:
-
“Male” Revised Pants
-
The Pants are based on ElizaWy’s assets and Bluecarrot16’s Overalls updates.
-
Overalls
-
I already included these, and technically they’re considered an “apron” asset. However, I included them here for completion.
-
-
Cuffed Pants
-
These are direct derivatives of Overalls. To create the Long Pants I had to edit out the cuffs on the Legs.
-
-
Long Pants
-
Originally I named these Pants 2. Eliza just calls them “Pants”, but we already have a similar (but different) Pants assets in the ULPC. Because these are longer than those, I opted to call them “Long Pants”.
-
-
Leggings 2
-
These are similar to Bluecarrot16’s. Its possible the Leggings are derivatives of each other. To create these Leggings, I had to do a lot of editing to make them look more “form-fitting”.
-
-
Hose
-
These are just an extension of Leggings 2, now containing a “sock” portion at the bottom. I created the Socks first then just dropped the Socks over them.
-
-
-
“Female” Revised Pants
-
Already included in the other release, but I have also included them here for completion sake.
-
-
Pantaloons (Male and Female)
-
These were shockingly fun to deal with. Pantaloons are basically a form of “Baggy” pants and were made by Nilla122 originally. It wasn’t too hard to finish across all frames, and then I made a “Female” version as well.
-
-
Wulax’s Pants (Male and Female)
-
These Pants, just called “Pants”, were originally made by Wulax. Eliza’s pants most resemble these ones, but there are notable differences.
-
I kept the original Pants assets from the ULPC, then for the new frames, I edited down Eliza’s pants to fill out the rest in the same style.
-
-
Formal Pants (Male and Female)
-
These were originally made by Redshrike, and Bluecarrot16 made some modifications to them later, including removing the belt.
-
These were still a bit messy, though, with a lot of stray pixels. I cleaned up all the stray pixels to make them look a bit nicer.
-
I filled out the remaining frames using Eliza’s pants, added female versions, and added recolors as well (which previously did not exist).
-
-
Striped Formal Pants (Male and Female)
-
These are Bluecarrot16’s formal pants but with stripes on them. Adding the stripes took a lot of work, but I managed it somehow. The stripes are simply straight vertical regardless of the angle, so that made things a little easier at least. I followed the existing pattern bluecarrot16 had to make these.
-
-
Fur Pants (Male and Female)
-
Originally called “furbrown”. According to Evert, these were just a basic recolor of Redshrike’s original pants. I didn’t see any major differences, but there were VERY subtle ones.
-
I opted to keep this as a separate option with its own set of recolors, but I feel like maybe its not different enough to warrant it. That said, I did include “fur” colors as a recolor variant just to keep with the theme.
All updates are already available on the ULPC Spritesheet Character Generator except for the Formal Pants, I only just now opened a PR for them, so it might be a day or two until it gets merged. You can still see the rest here, as well as other color variations in action:

Comments
Ugh I managed to get this done just in time. It took longer than I expected to finish the "Formal" pants. I thought I could reuse the other frames, but I ended up redoing most of them from scratch.
Based on what I dug up, I'm pretty sure these pants are the original ones Redshrike made. The ones the ULPC has been using mostly have been Wulax's. The Redshrike pants were edited by Bluecarrot16 into the "formal" pants and included in his Gentlemen release. These never got recolors before, but they have them now. I kept the original colors as well, though, and stuck with the idea of them only using 3 palettes and looking "flatter" than the other pants assets.
The stripes weren't as hard as I thought they would be.
I know some people are going to say "but its already the New Year!" not for me lol. Its still 45 minutes to go!
Anyway, going to take a break for a bit. That said, while working on this I made progress on two other things:
1. I finished the "Male" versions of Eliza's Socks and Shoes. I opted to leave them out here to have a full "Socks & Shoes" update later. I also started working on porting my boots with my Kimono release to all frames, but I'm nowhere near done with those yet.
2. Plate Legs are all done now except Run and the Combat Animations.
Sanderfrenken merged the latest PR now so all updates are now here:
