Texture Hack:Penguin Ebisumaru

And finally, after months of waiting, the eccentric character of the Goemon series, Penguin Ebisumaru!

Remember the Wiseman’s invention? The one that was supposed to transform Sasuke into a human, but ended up transforming the rest of the group as well? It had an effect on Ebisumaru too, but it was much more gradual. He was on his way to the Wiseman’s house to pick up his newly mechanized hammer, but running a little late after a large breakfast of sushi, so it took a few months for him to change. Seems that sushi had a bigger effect on him than he realized…

I spent more time working on some parts than I expected, like those FULLY ROUND shoes, and less time on the rest, like his clothes, and his eyes. I thought his eyes would take me hours, considering all the files for them. I wanted to make his hurt animation have the one from the game, with the open eyes, but I checked, and that seems impossible at the moment. I also made that design on his robe and hammer from scratch. I couldn’t leave those areas bare (the star on the hammer doesn’t count), plus, they seem to fit his personality pretty well.

Well, with Ebisumaru finally finished, the entire group from the Ganbare Goemon series is finally together! Now, just replace a few music files, and SSE becomes a new Goemon game! Kind of…
