[Request/Comm] Looking for Fruits Basket Themed!

[meggtheegg]

hi there! i've discovered Fruits Basket during this strange quarantine time and it's become very special to me very quickly in the way it's helped me thru these times.
I want to do something in dedication to the series on my island, and I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to recreate the 12 lil sparkly/shiny pink zodiac orbs with a transparent background seen on the Tokyopop printings of the manga:

sorry they're not the best pictures, and they really wouldn't need to be the exact animal symbols on the tokyopop covers tbh, just the general orb color with a "legible" animal symbol. but pictured in the spoilers there should be:
1. Snake
2. Rooster
3. Ox
4. Rabbit
5. Pig/hog
6. Horse
7. Monkey
8. Rat
9. Tiger
10. Dog
11. Dragon (cut off)
12. Goat (cut off/not pictured?)

I dont know if it's even possible to get something that will look good in NH's design system, and I know there are a lot, but.
I'd love to pay in tbt or igb or NMT or gold nuggets/other in game resources for any efforts

I've come up with something like this for year of the snake, but past this/for others im struggling dfpoji;sd

ok, so your orb is fab! If you don't mind sharing the pallette, I'll have a crack at the others for you

they might not be as good, simply because of the limited pixel size, but i can give it a go

ofc!! i messed with a lot of the pinks and reds, but the yellow is just original. i'll take a pic of the palette and the details of the colors i changed and upload soon

perhaps it would be easier as well if the orb/sphere was as big as possible, filling up the whole canvas we have. as far as fitting in details.

so i used the palette 10th down, and kept the first yellow color the same for the highlight. i cant remember which colors i changed in the palette and which i didnt, so im just going to include a screenshot of each of the other 7 i ended up using.
i think i may end up trying to do a new version of the snake filling up the whole canvas, just for the sake of being able to fit the others easier
(also thank you for offering to help i really appreciate it!!)

Haha no worries I'm just making some stuff for someone else, then I'll have a crack at yours. I'll show you what i do so you can see if you like it before i move on to the next one!

 

[rayraysparkles]

Right, this is the orb. Do you think it's similar enough? And is the size OK?

ahhhh yes it fits what i was envisioning really nicely!! the size will probably be easier as well to include the symbols

 

[rayraysparkles]

Great! I don't suppose you can find any clearer pictures of the zodiac orbs? I tried looking myself, but i could only really find fanart ones. If you can grab a wheel you like the look of, I'll add them into the orbs

all i've been able to find are the ones on the tokyopop covers for 1 and 2 and they're not very clear there needs to be more animal crossing fruits basket content! lol

here's decently simple symbols for actual zodiac:

but in fruits basket there is no rooster and dragon, instead there's a sea horse and bird pictured here

Spoiler

 

[rayraysparkles]

Ok! I'll have a crack at those and see what i can do. Yeah i was disappointed i couldn't see the orbs more clearly anywhere else! Boo!

 

[meggtheegg]

and it'd be okay to draw the rooster and dragon anyway, as thats what the bird/sparrow and sea horse are //supposed// to be representing LOL and from what i can glimpse on the cover that's what they put on the orbs

yeah i was disappointed too but i thought it'd be such a cute idea :')

 

[rayraysparkles]

It is!! And id love to see pics/ come visit when they're all done to see what you do with them!

[rayraysparkles]

Hi lovely, here's the pig. Does this look OK?

 

[meggtheegg]

ahhhh yes that looks so cute!!!!!

 

[rayraysparkles]

Fab! I'm half way through them now, I'll post more in a little bit glad you like him, i thought he might be a little small! See what you think when you see the rest

 

[rayraysparkles]

Ok, here's what I've done so far. Hope they're OK. If not, tell me

 

[meggtheegg]

ahhhhh these are amazing so far i love them!!! thank you so much for taking the time to figure out some of these symbols for me

 

[Prophecy82]

The orb is perfect, I should request that you make Dragon Balls!

You're so welcome! I did the tiger as well, but I'm less sure about that one. I need to have another think about it
