Have you seen the Meowth? http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/meowth-pet-cat.108114/ looks amazing
I'll try my hand at making the catbus I'm just not sure how to upload the finished xnb file but I'll see how I go. Also someone has made ghibli inspired scarecrow re-skins.
Still working on it, this is part of what I've got so far. I'm pretty much going to do a cat-bus style re-skin for the bus with some other characters from Totoro or other Studio Ghibli movies. I'm doing my best since I have basically no experience with pixel art. What do you think so far?
The atmosphere's spot on. The characters nail it. But imo the color and shadowing needs more work. The contrast is too high, making the characters seem not blending with the environment.
Okay I think I'm finished now. Is there anything you think I should add or change? If I can get the catbus' head in without having to mess up the doors too much I will. Once it's finished I'll put up a link to the mod.
Maybe you can shorten the end of the bus to add in a tail? Also if you decrease the height of the very front of the bus you can give it ears. Of course how much you minimize the window will depend on Pam's placement when she's driving.
Love all the characters in the windows! I agree that adding in a tail would be cool, and probably easier than trying to add in the head.
This would likely be the best place to actually do it. The mount and pet sheets only have so much room.
Would you happen to know if the bus has any animation? It'd be so cute for Catbus to be running when the bus goes to Calico Desert, instead of just sliding along.
