dude the face is just uguuu

[AstraLunaSol]

the light source isn't the same as other fe mugs, mostly on the face
the shading is pretty bad too, probably better off trying to splice a mug that looks similar to that

[eclipse]

If you guys haven't sorted this out by Sunday night, I'll attempt to splice something on Monday.

Alright, 3 more hours...

It's improved a bit, I think; the nose has been changed to FE8 style, the eyebrows that the FE8 sprites sport have been added, the face/hair shading now uses colors from a FE8 character, the robe has been shaded a little bit (although it still needs fixing, methinks), and the centerpiece is now an amethyst (purple for the dark magic user, ofc). Hair still needs to be FE8-ified. I'll likely post a request for touching up and advice from the spriters' board.


P.S.: I can't really use the sprite talked about because I want it to match the Shaman(F) animation, which has LONG brown hair and a blue robe. I might just put in Eclipse's shading, but it didn't work too well with the slight alterations to the shape of the robe (plus, I suck at shading).

EDIT: Fixed a few more things.

I started playing around with your sprite. It's still quite rough, but if you think it might be something you'd want, I can finish and smooth it out hopefully

And of course, anyone else can use this to build on as well.

Hey KoT, how's this for Cassandra?



She still needs a bit of work here and there (mostly her outfit) and she doesn't have her frames or her chibi, but it's like 4 AM so no more spriting for me tonight. ~_~

[Kngt_Of_Titania]

Wow, thanks for all of the effort, everybody. :D

I'm afraid to choose one to avoid pissing off other people, tbh.

[frat_tastic]

While I'm sure everyone put up a valiant effort, Kon's is really the best one I think anyone's presented to you, so I'd just go with that one.

[Furetchen]

Kon's needs to be edited enough so that looking at her neck doesn't make my eyes water, and then it blows its competition out of the... water.

vs.

Yeah, Kon wins. :/


I realize now that trying to use Brammimond's robe was likely a mistake, due to how it makes her look too burly.

Well, this whole thing has made me feel like a worthless piece of shit when it comes to art...lol.

[Anouleth]

Hmm... any chance Kon could flip the head so that she's facing the same way as her body?

[Kngt_Of_Titania]

Kon, thanks for the sprite!

While it's by far the most likely to get used at this point, I looked at the details of your sprite to see what errors I had; it was mostly minor things that added up. I hope you don't mind -- it really helped me to nearly finish off the crappy one I was doing. Anyways, a side-by-side:



EDIT: Her left eye is still a little screwed up with the new bangs; it'll get fixed.

EDIT2: Has my sprite improved at all?

[Anouleth]

Look, KoT, you are not going to fix it. Ditch your crappy sprite and go with Kon's one.

I was planned to, anyways. I just hoped to improve it, is all, but it looks like it won't happen.

Oh well.

[Celice]

It's getting "better," but it's like you're trying to fix a dead dog. It's dead, pal. You need to start over without the problems, not trying to put make-up over them. Your sprite just gets a bit more detailed, but it still suffers from the entirely wrong angle of a body and limpy hair D:

Kon's should think about losing the giraffe neck, as well as the trauma her neck was subjected to in order to wrench her head to such an uncomfortable angle ._.

unless...??

Edited by Celice, 29 April 2012 - 11:59 AM.

[Kon]

Well darn, that's what I get for spriting so early in the morning. XD I'll get to fixing the broken giraffe neck and junk in a bit.

Anything else I should fix while I'm at it?

EDIT: Sorry for taking so long, but here's the fixed sprite



This is the right format, isn't it?

Edited by Kon, 29 April 2012 - 05:35 PM.

[eclipse]

If you can do something about the coat shading (it looks really flat and awkward, and I can't help. . .), then it'll be better than anything else I could possibly do!

[Kon]

Yeah I really can't shade cloaks for crap. ~o3o~ I'll get on that, expect a fix in the next few hours.

[Kon]

It took me 14 hours to try to fix her cloak. I blame Trent. Damn his addictive Let's Plays



As you can see, I'm still crap at shading cloaks. I might need some help with this a bit, 'cause referencing the other cloaked sprites aren't helping me much.

[Celice]

The cloak looks nice. The collar looks a bit flat, and the hair seems too high on her head--other than that, pretty solid. I'm not sure if more of the ear should stick out or not. I personally think another row would be good.
