Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer has shared their take on a full body sprite for Sebastian. The sprite sticks with the traditional pixel art style used inStardew Valley, and it’s generating a lot of buzz and amusement in the community.
Stardew Valleyuses acharming pixel art stylethat wouldn’t look out of place on retro gaming consoles. Generally, characters in the game are limited to a small and simplistic full body sprite with a chibi-like quality, with a more detailed portrait that comes up during conversations. However, this portrait is limited to the shoulders up, with a few limited exceptions during specific cutscenes, like one withShane. This imagining gives an idea of what the title would be like if the detailed portrait sprites were extended to become full body sprites.
Reddit user andStardew Valleyfan emofrogdweller shared their concept with fellow fans on the site, extending the standardStardew Valleypixel art designinto a full body version.Sebastianlooks like one might expect based on his behaviors in-game, with his hands tucked into the pocket of his hoodie while waering black shoes and black pants. It’s not a bad effort, though commenters have brought up some pointers on how it might be improved.
Stardew Valley Fans Give Artistic Advice
The most common responses to the post either compliment the artist on their effort, or point out that Sebastian seems to have excessively long legs. The biggest issue seems to be that the long legs look like they’re just sticking out of his torso, with no apparent hips or pelvis. A few jokes have been made about it, with one fellow user going in the complete opposite direction and redoing the sprite to give him tiny legs sticking out of an otherwise normal body. The OP has been taking the jokes and advice in stride, and made a few revisedversions of theStardew Valleycharacter designthat take these issues into consideration.
As usual, theStardew Valleycommunity seems supportive and light-hearted. While the initial design could use some touching up and improvements, it nonetheless gives a glimpse into a “what if” scenario where developer ConcernedApe went in a slightly different direction with the game. It’s unlikely that a full body sprite like this one will eventually appear in the official release, but given theabundance of mods made forStardew Valley, it’s always possible a modder could find a use for this kind of sprite. Whether the OP chooses to make more, however, remains to be seen.
