Thanks for looking at all this junk. Critique is very much appreciated, so if you see anything wrong, I'd love to know about it.

You're a great spriter
Good thing you posted your work.

[Xiltas Shepard]

You're good, my favourites are round 11 and 16 o.o

Which characters did you use for 11?

[Chalis]

I'm in love with your round 11 and 14, just so you know. Those were the worst sets ever and you still came up with those gorgeous sprites.

[MagicLugh]

Your sprite are really nice. Your creativity really shines.

As for your custom mug, I'm guessing that she's a Sage?

[Florina Stark]

You got some great stuff! I dig round 16 a lot! I just love her palette!

[Astelaine]

Which characters did you use for 11?

Round 11's characters were Saleh, Cecilia, and Igrene. If you click on the links beside my mugs, you can see the competition thread with the original portraits.

Thank you! To me, the difficult sets are ultimately the most fun, even though they end up entailing a whole lot of head-desking. >>

As for your custom mug, I'm guessing that she's a Sage?

I was leaning more towards troubador/valkyrie, but mage/sage works too! She definitely looks magical. Actually, she is from one of my original stories, in which she's a queen by marriage who came from a nomadic people. I didn't get the Sacae/nomad vibe from her when I sprited her, though, so she became a caster class

I dig round 16 a lot! I just love her palette!

Thanks! It was inspired by Princess Maker 2, which uses this beautiful pink/red/brown color scheme throughout the game and menu screens.

And now, so this post isn't all replies:



Splicing Competition, round 18! It's Robin Hood! ( I had scenes from that awesome Disney movie in my head the whole time, haha.) He's definitely going to become a character on his own, probably a custom mug, because I just love robin hood hats. It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped due to limited pieces in the splicing set, and I feel I need to do it justice. Right now it's made out of Brunya's collar/lapel pieces, and Hellene's chin/face lines turned upside down to make the top part, then corrected with fixes. On the right, you can see the work-in-progress with different hair and minus the feather.

Here's the other possibility I was toying with for Round 18, even though I ultimately went with hat guy instead:

Wow, these are some amazing sprites! Rounds 10, 14, and 17 are my favorites. Very creative and nicely done! And your custom of course.

A magic user from Sacae is ptretty rare. Does her family background have magic units or was she raised by someone that uses magic?

Herp derp haven't updated in a bit. Here's a work in progress:


It's the guy from Round 18, getting overhauled into his own custom mug. He'll be getting a coat and that Robin Hood hat next.

Quick, very flawed sketch reference:

I don't know how I missed this topic before, your art is nice.

[Astelaine]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

If you drew that, please make an art thread.

I'd like to see more.

Also likin' the mug. <3

[Astelaine]

Thanks, Lumi! And yeah, I did draw that. I hadn't even thought about making an art thread, time to go do it! :V

Edit: My art thread.

Newest stuff:


Joshua as the king of Jehanna, for the Pimp my Unit competition.
Various parts are from Orson, Fado, Hayden, L'arachel's uncle, and Ismaire. The far eye, eyebrows, and ponytail are custom.



Baird the huntsman WIP. Began shading the hair.

[Astelaine]

Anyone have advice for this hat? :| It just doesn't look right to me.

Ignore the clothes, I have a lot left to do on them yet.

[Sawslothducksaucestrawman]

I think the confusing part about the hat is that its hard to tell whether its supposed to be going outward or downward. Because it goes so far over his right eye opv it looks like its sticking out(like it has a bill like a baseball cap or cowboy hat) but then with the type of hat it is and where it is over the left eye it looks likes its actually supposed to be touching his head. And thus it looks weird? I think you should make the middle of the hat match up with the middle of his forehead instead of being over his left eye opv maybe?

[I have opinions]

I kinda disagree with that, Strawman. I can tell it's touching his head quite fine, actually. Astelaine has shaded directly where the hat touches instead of shading further out which would indicate that there was some part of the hat actually coming out to cause the shadow.

Astelaine, you're doing a great job with this so far.

[Sawslothducksaucestrawman]

The shading isn't an issue. Its more of its shaded so that it touches the head but then it goes way over to the left don't you think?

[I have opinions]

If Astelaine gave the hat some more depth, or made it seem like it was curving a little in the middle, as to show how the tip of it got to where it is, it would look better. As of now, even though I can see what she's tryin' to do, yes, it looks a little weird.
