"Coppersnakes" Portrait Pack

Retro Cybercity Coppersnakes Portrait Mini-Pack

This is a series of portraits for character sprites in the Gang Characters Pack, focused on the "Coppersnakes" gang. These faces include several "emoting" variants each as well as "talk" and "blink" variants for simple animations.

This asset pack is for creators who are looking to try a cyberpunk or futuristic scifi aesthetic that takes cues from the analog era of the 1980s and 90s. Think Blade Runner or Ready Player One with an SNES/SEGA Genesis style color palette. 

The pack uses the palette BLKNX64 by @blkirl.

SPECIAL NOTE:

The RPG Maker folder in the pack includes a version of these portraits formatted and scaled to work with RPG Maker MZ which uses a portrait cell size of 144x144. The native size for these assets is 48x48 and these can be resized at 2x to be used with RPG Makers that IIRC used 96x96.

What Does It Include?

The first two images in the sidebar give a solid idea of the talk animations, base portraits, and some of the variants included. If you're looking for something specific that you don't see here, feel free to ask about it in the comments.

This pack include:

• 5 Characters from the Gangs character sprite pack, specifically the five "Coppersnakes" characters.
• 2 Size Options by default: Native 48x48 cells and RPG Maker MZ compatible 144x144 cells arranged in 2x8 sheets.
• Each character has 1 full sheet of 8 variant portraits and a second half sheet of 2-4 additional variants.
• A handy guide for what I tried to pull off with each variant in terms of what emotion is being conveyed.
• Ability to take the blinking and talking and create simple animations if your game or project has a need for that.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE:

• 16x16 full body character sprites -- different pack for those!
• Portraits from the other portrait packs, they are only shown on the sidebar as examples.

Why Not Include ALL the "Gang Characters" in one pack"?

Again, it's pricing. All five gang portrait series in one big pack is 25 characters each with a dozen variant portraits. 

There will be a bundle, however, of JUST the gang portraits so they can all be purchased at once. 

Will There be Updates?

I'll probably be including additional portrait variants in the empty cells included here. I'm sure I'll eventually think of more variants that make sense to add but I tried my best to cover my bases here.

I am also looking forward to requests from users who may need more options than are represented here. Please sound off in the comments if you've got suggestions!
