Sea Lion Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) After not doing anything for like a year I have a couple new things! Edited April 22, 2012 by Sea Lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Kay well I have some new stuff again. Which pallet looks better and what else could be touched up? Just so you all know I'm going to be changing the face later to make it original. Also two battle sprites The beginnings of a dwarf class and the continuation of the robot. Any critique on this would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well, I have a couple new versions of the character. I'm trying to make him look sad without looking brain dead, the original is all the way on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthenaWyrm Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The eyes look like they change colors (specifically the 3rd and 4th ones). Also, it's kind of hard to see his eyebrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Yea in the third and fourth ones I did change the eye color cause otherwise he really did just look completely brain dead. And I see what you mean about the eyebrows, but I wasn't really sure where to put the eyebrows/make them more accented. And which one do you think looks best at the moment?

AthenaWyrm Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I like the first one the best although I assume that's not an expression of sadness he's showing there XD I would actually recommend using the first one for the sad expression by changing his mouth to make a sort of frown and making his eyes closed. The other expressions seem kind of goofy and don't exactly fit with the character since he looks like someone who's very serious (to be more specific, the eyes in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th mugs give off a very comical sense and give me an impression that I shouldn't take him very seriously).

Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) So I tried making one of their eyebrows more intense and prominent and made the other one's less angular. I also tried touching up the body angle a bit more. Oh, and the trim, the trim is back to gold. Edited April 28, 2012 by Sea Lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthenaWyrm Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yes, I think that looks a lot better than before. I would also suggest taking a look at the top-left corner of the lining on the front of his coat (the one with the button). It looks rounded off, so I think making it more angular would help.

Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Kay, so I changed the pallet again and played around with a new eye version (I think it's the best so far) and tried to fix the far trim, not sure if I did it right though.

Princess Peachar Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 How exaggerated do you want the expression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Wow, that's really good. It's a little more exaggerated than I wanted though. Do you mind if I use that as a reference?

Princess Peachar Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Go ahead. That's why I derped with it and posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Awesome, so I touched up the eyes and the button as well. Anything else that could use some obvious fixes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sholes Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 He looks like he's about to cry, but if that's what you're going for then it's pretty good. The only problem I see is the trim on his shirt, it look too thick but that might just be me. :/ I like the maps a lot, the mountain on the second one is too square-like but a lot of in-game maps had similar problems so I suggest making the shape different.

Sea Lion Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yea I might go back later and make him a little less sad if I want to put him in a hack. And I kinda thought the same thing with the trim, but I'm not so great at that so I'll put that off for a while. I don't like mountains so that was my easy way out, haha. So here's actually a new sprite. The face is from one of my older ones, but I want to use him as a solider in a new hack. Armor's a little boring to me, if anyone has some suggestions as to making it cooler that would be great. This is what he used to be, any advice on this would be great too. I might end up putting the beetle in again, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Un tile spam your oceans and make your river edges less straight. Other than that, decent maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 So what I basically did was redid all the shading on the coat and added some wrinkles (or tried to) in the center piece. I could use some advice on the mouth and blinking frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) New stuff, decided to make a personal sprite, the base is on the left. How do you custom hair? EDIT So I tried making the hair, turned out surprisingly well. Not good, but better than I thought it would be. I could really use some help on this. Also touched up the eyes, mouth, and made the body a bit wider and neck a bit thinner. Edited May 1, 2012 by Sea Lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 So I made the first chapter for my hack. I'm figuring I'll use the normal prologue map for the prologue. Those earlier maps are likely going to be in it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz94 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The dirt/cobblestone thing in the top right corner. I feel like it shouldn't be so boxy, and that random line of grass confuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 that river/sea/whatever thing is also way too straight. Like, you made sure there was no tile spam, but it goes in a straight line of tiles so it still looks unnatural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Okay, yea, I was trying to make the beginning of a cobble stone road but I'll have to mess around with it some. And yea, I was afraid about that with the river thing. I noticed that after I finished and was too lazy to fix it. And also, reworking my personal sprite. old on the right, wip on the left. UPDATE: Oh my god, did I just make decent custom hair? Someone tell me, I can't tell. Edited May 13, 2012 by Sea Lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Lion Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) So everyone else was making them, so I figured I'd try one too. This is the sixteen color version, I still want to go in and touch up the spear tip as well as the shaft. How should I shade the neck? I tried to do how it was in his FE13 portrait, but I'm not sure it worked. Updated version: Still not sure about the neck and the spear head only looks slightly better.

Strawman Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Oooh Donny! I like it. The eyes and face shading in general seem a little strange I think. Why'd you change the color of his pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it--it reminds me of the style of sprites the Advance Wars series use. Though the colors do seem very dull and lifeless. Personally, I'd give it more lush colors, and I think the actual portrait of Donny does have lusher colors, too.
