[Game Mod] Civ4 Hetalia: Gilbo

[rice-powered.livejournal.com]

Nope, no mod update releases in this post, but I have been working on something related to it.

So, remember from the last post? The lack of official Prussia art from Himaruya-san to use as Gilbo's in-game look really, really frustrated me.
I mean, I could always use the fan art out there....but omfg, this bastard has a load of them. Needless to say, I was hard-pressed to pick a favorite. I did prefer using Himaruya's style since the rest of the other in-game art was, and Gilbo would look out of place (not that he would mind, but).

So....I figured...why not make my own....I'm quite a copypasta person and not just with mod programming scripts.

Title: ORESAMA NO CIV4 PROFILE
Author/Artist: Rice_powered

Character(s) or Pairing(s): Just Prussia....all alone...with his bird.

(France/China too if you count the game screenshots)

Rating: G

Warnings: Nerd gamer's rantings
Summary: My first hetalia-themed fan art, nothing too special.

Meanwhile, eat some screenshots from one of my test runs on the mod:



So, in this game as Francis, I totally got married with...well, in Civ4 terms, made a "permanent alliance" with Wang Yao here.
What does that mean? We've conjoined our states together! His wars are my wars, and we become a singular supranational entity till the end of the game!
*COUGH* crack pairing overdosage *COUGH*
 
As you can see from the screenshots, he gives me lots of gifts~
HURRAY FOR GOLD BARS.....and bananas <3

So continuing on regarding Gilbo, since I wanted something closer to Himaruya's style, naturally I would have to use his art as reference.


For those who want the short story, click here.
For those who want to see how this went to that, the ranting will continue.

....few minutes later....or was it 20? I sure was rusty...


Sexy sexy uniform, did I say how sexy uniforms are? Sexy~

Now...I HATE COLOURING. Which is pretty much the only thing that keeps me from drawing...
But colouring on the computer...I've never done that before, sure, why not?
Thus begins my adventure into....Photoshop CS3!!!

After much grueling work of spamming paint bucket tool...5 minutes later:

Ehhhh...I could end it now I suppose....

Just then, my hetalia song list on winamp blasts his theme song, Amazing Me, For Me, According to Me and I realized --
NO! THIS #@$% DOES NOT DO HIM JUSTICE!

So after reading some tutorials...bugging my sister who has more experience in photoshop than I do...

...2 hours later...

It turned out better than I'd hoped, and now....have to add him to the game....


Prussia: BOW DOWN TO ME!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ORESAMA NO PROFILE!!!! KESESESESESESESE~

Note to self: Colouring on the computer ain't so bad.
EDIT: Prussian blue background for EXTRA WIN!

Thank you for reading (EDIT: and for the kind encouragement -.o). Gotta work on Spain, Hungary and Austria now.
