Because this one lacks the Event NPCs, do you think you'll still do those at the very least? I was looking forward to seeing your take on the characters too, cause it's always good to have options ;v;
I totally get that! I honestly think that, even if Nyapu themselves does it, there's always room for multiple interpretations of the style being used in portraits. There are those, such as yourself, who are doing edits of Nyapu's portraits for Seasonal Outfit compatibility, there are those who did edits for Diverse Stardew, and I think that's great! It's always good to have options, even if the base art style is the same.
Of course, I say this as a devotee of the Nyapu style being a key component to my Stardew experience, so I'm super biased. I think some people are better at it than others, and I think having options encourages some friendly competitive drive for improvement, if that makes sense? I mean, eventually, there's going to be a point where people's individual takes on the Nyapu style could diverge into their own unique style too, and I think that's also worth encouraging!
I appreciate everyone's comments here. I think many people are working on Nyapu's style for various mods, but not many of them share their progress, making it hard to track who is working on what.
Like Onyx said, I don’t know about the others, but I tend to welcome people contributing to our modding community, even if other mods have already done the same. There’s no competition here—we’re all working toward the same goal. And if someone creates a divergent version of what I did and it looks cool, I’d gladly use it too.
@OnyxArcher The reason I didn’t do the Event NPCs' portraits is that Jakk mentioned those NPCs could be expanded or changed later for better compatibility with other mods. (Bill, for example, is the same person in Downtown Zuzu, which is already covered by Nyapu herself, I think.) So, I don’t have any plans to work on them for now—sorry!
@AhCuteArt Thanks for all your hard work on the Nyapu SSC portraits—they look beautiful! I appreciate your courage in taking on such a big project, especially since you had to redesign some of the outfits yourself. Just a heads-up: if my version of Quinn could be of any help in your Nyapu-style projects in the future, feel free to use it.
Do you have any plans on doing the Event NPCs, since I noticed it says they aren't included? I rushed to download because I've been waiting for a Nyapu-style portrait mod for Quinn, so knowing that it's not all the characters present in the mod is a little disheartening.
Replying to my own message because the answer is in a locked sticky thread. I just wanted to say that I wasn't aware that Jakk was planning on updating the NPCs, or that one of them is a DTZ character, which, yes, Nyapu already did. I still think that having some work done on them for a mod like this should be considered, just because of how event scripting between mods can sometimes lead to portrait issues (i.e they aren't swapped properly) if they aren't accounted for. I totally understand your decision to not do them though.
Oh come on, this is gorgeous! I can't believe the amount of effort, love and care you put into this. Thank you so, so so much!! <3 <3 <3 She looks stunning.
