I FINALLY FRICKIN' FINISHED IT!

This is a long-delayed project of mine, designed to show how to make an artform using the Kisekae Set System, commonly known as "KiSS", from the ground up.

It's designed for complete newcomers, and will take you through every step of the process of making a typical "KiSS Doll", from drawing a base to making clothes, converting your images to cels and creating palettes, creating your cnf file and fine-tuning it in the viewer, and even a basic introduction to FKiSS scripting.

Included in the zip file is everything used to make the example set! You can follow the steps to construct the set exactly as shown in the tutorial. You can also play around with it, add or remove whatever you like, and even distribute your finished product if you've made significant changes.

PROGRAMS COVERED:
* The GIMP for graphics editing;
* GIF to CEL for Windows for cel conversion/palette creation;
* Any text editor for CNF creation (I prefer EmEditor); and
* Direct KiSS for viewing/Snap-to code/lzh assembly.

If you have the know-how, you can replace any of these programs with other tools (for example, you can use Photoshop instead of the GIMP if you are a confident Photoshop user), but the tutorial deals specifically with the ones listed.

Other KiSS artists are encouraged to add to this tutorial, adapt it to other programs, or expand upon it as they see fit! Please see the tutorial for full details.

Oh, and the base used is the censored version of my Konatsu II base.

~Please enjoy this tutorial!~ I poured a ton of effort into it. I really hope it will be useful to those who are enthusiastic about KiSS, but intimidated by all the strange formats and the idea of scripting. I promise, it's not that hard at all! ^_^

As always, for everything KiSS:
